You can make IP connections to other manufacturer’s codecs if the SIP protocol is used on both ends and the codec you are connecting to is EBU N/ACIP Tech 3326 compliant. The following parameters will need to be set on both codecs. Try the following setting, once connected; you can try other settings as desired.
- Profile mono
- Bit rate 64k
- Algorithm G.722
- Session port 5060 TCP
- Audio port 5004 UDP
On newer firmware versions of Bridge-IT, Merlin, and Genie codecs the SIP Interface needs to be enabled first. There are two options to configure this:
- Using the Toolbox HTML 5 GUI select Transport > SIP Interfaces and select the Enable check-box, then click Save.
- Using the codec screen tap Settings > SIP > Interfaces > SIP1 or SIP2 and tap the On/Off button to turn it On.
Note: The codec user manual has more information on connecting using SIP and using SIP servers.
Below are links to information about compatibility to other manufacturer’s codecs using SIP and ISDN for the G5 family of codecs including the Merlin and Genie codecs as well as the G3 family of codecs.
