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

[Adam Frankel (afrankel)]

A transcoder will be required in the MRGL of the UCCX Port.

The transcoder should have a device pool who's region relation to the 
UCCX Port is G711, and to the Jabber client it can be either G711 or 
G729.  Since Region config only specifies the max bitrate between the 
two devices, if the Jabber client is only offering G729, a G711 region 
config will still allow the connection between the Jabber client and 
Transcoder to be G729.

HTH,
Adam
