<div>Hi All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have a central office using g711 and a remote branch with g729(Due to 64k framerelay link). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>We only have dsp's at the central site. In order to make a conference, we configured it as conference bridge and place it as media resource for the remote and the central site.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The problem is, when doing adhoc conference with the remote branch, the quality of the remote phone degrades to an unacceptable situation. Without conference, the voice quality is ok. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Testing the conference with 100mbps link, voice quality is better so it seems like bandwidth is the issue.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since configuring this for the first time...had few questions hope someone could enlighten me.</div>
<div>1> what will be the bandwidth required when the remote branch did an adhoc conference with for example 2 phones. 2 phones at central site that uses g711. Is it still 24k?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2>I had this configuration where the maximum session is 2. Is this 2 conference with 8 participants? Can the i use this as 5 conference with 3 participants?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3>Can i use a transcoder instead of conference bridge and transcode the g729 of the remote to g711 then the participants will use the callmanager's software conference bridge to do a conference using all g711?
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4>Trying to configure the Media resource group list using the software conference bridge and fallback to the the enhance ios conference bridge if in case g729 comes in but it didn't work. Seems like i have to configure every phone on central and remote to use the enhance ios conference bridge. Is there a way to allow this?
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in adv.</div>
