[cisco-voip] regions, transcoders and bears, oh my!

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

OK, so in fooling around with the Cisco iPhone Jabber client, I've realized that I can put aside the concept of regions and transcoders no longer. The iPhone, when using g729 (in low bandwidth mode) can not communicate to some systems, most notably, IPCCx. 

As far as I understood, regions were used to dictate which codec to use and the transcoder is used to do the translations. 

So, what do I have to do to get the iPhone using G.729 to be able to talk to UCCx (presumably using G711)? 

Is a transcoder enough? If I create the transcoder and put it into an Media Resource Group that both devices can access, should that work? 

I don't understand how I would use regions to classify the iPhone Jabber client, especially since the iPhone Jabber client can dynamically select between codecs depending on bandwidth availability.
