I see this device :
Axis C8033 Audio Bridge Quick Specs:
Communications Protocol: SIP. Ethernet Ports: 1x 10/100. PoE: 802.3af/at Type 1 Class 2. Additional Interfaces:
Audio: one-way/two-way, mono. Audio Codecs: G.711, G.726, WAV, MP3. Edge Storage: microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC. Operating Temperature: 4°F – 122°F.

What is Codec WAV and MP3 to asterisk ???

    The literals “wav” and “mp3” are unknown as far as media handling goes. We’d need to see what payload types they translate them to. If you can get a real SDP from one of those devices we could say more.

  • Docs said this:
    Audio Codecs: G.711, G.726, WAV, MP3.

    This is all it shows:
    Got SDP version 3801411990 and unique parts [- 3801411989 IN IP4

    Peer audio RTP is at port 192.168.2.3:4138

    Something is not right.

  • I thought – what about the software – maybe it needs updated. After doing so I get a list:

    Audio codecs PCMU (8000 Hz)
    PCMA (8000 Hz)
    opus (48000 Hz)
    L16/16000 (16000 Hz)
    G.726-32 (8000 Hz)
    L16/8000 (8000 Hz)
    speex/16000 (16000 Hz)
    speex/8000 (8000 Hz)

  • Ok – updating the firmware on teh device – factory reset, re-config. Capabilities: us – (g726|slin16|ulaw|alaw|gsm), peer –
    audio=(ulaw|alaw|g726|slin16)/video=(nothing)/text=(nothing), combined –
    (g726|slin16|ulaw|alaw)
    Looking much better.
