Recommendation

Nortel recommends that the system be configured with both G.711 and
G.729A if there is a possibility that an IP Softphone 2050 could be
configured with the “I use a modem to connect to the network” check box
checked. If the node does not have G.729A and/or G.723 configured, IP
Softphone 2050 users with that checkbox selected will have calls
blocked.
(Note: This does not apply to the MVC 2050 as it only supports G.711
capability; there is no dial-up capability.)
