As advised by other members of this fine forum I would need MTP's at either end to provide a fixed IP we can use on the firewalls for NAT.</div><div>We want to use G.729 across the WAN link to conserve bandwidth, I believe that since most IP phones (we use 7911, 7912, 7937, 7942 and 7960's) support G.729 natively that normally if a call is placed from IP phone to IP phone (even across a WAN link?) no transcoder will be required. Is this still the case if MTP's are involved? Or will transcoders be required?</div><div>Also as a related question, what variant of G.729 does CUCM 6.1 use? In the Region settings it is just down as G.729 but is this a high or medium complexity
variant? This may be important to know in order to provision the right type of HW transcoders.</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks,</div><div>Damian</div></div></body></html>
