Audio Format Conversion Settings

When using VPIM Networking for messaging between Cisco Unity servers in different directories, the Audio Format Conversion Settings for outbound and incoming messages need to be coordinated on the Cisco Unity servers to avoid unnecessary conversions. When making decisions about the conversion settings:

•Consider the network bandwidth between the local and remote Cisco Unity servers, and the volume of message traffic.

•Determine which codecs are installed or will need to be installed on subscriber workstations and Cisco Unity servers in the local and remote sites.

The following examples show a few of the combinations of the Audio Format Conversion Settings to give you an idea of the options.

Example 1: Both Cisco Unity Servers Use G.729a for Recording and Storage

As shown in Figure 8-3, both the local and remote Cisco Unity servers record messages by using the G.729a codec. At 8 Kbps, the G.729a codec is recommended for use when network bandwidth is an issue. Because of theses considerations, no audio format conversions are needed when messages are transmitted between the servers.
