[cisco-nas] Problem with VoIP codes on 2600

Hi Tomaz -

On the POTS side you can only change the compand-type to be either
a-law or u-law (g.711).  Bear in mind, this is not really changing the
codec on the telephony side.  It's just telling the router how to
interpret the PCM data in the bearer channels from the telephony
switch.

There really isn't the concept of a codec, per se, on the telephony
side.

Regards,

Clay
