/mcpConfiguring a Speech Connect Port Procedure Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Telephony Integrations, and then select Speech Connect Port.

Step 3 Select Save. Audio and Video Format Using Phone Cisco Unity Connection advertises the audio format (or codec) that is preferred for the media stream with the phone system. Consider the following when setting the audio format: • When Unity Connection advertises a different audio format than the one used by the phone system, the phone system transcodes the media stream. • Unity Connection should use the same audio format for the media stream that the phone system uses for the following reasons: • To reduce the need for transcoding the media stream from one audio format to another. • To minimize the performance impact on the Unity Connection server and on the phone system. • To preserve the audio quality of the calls. For more information on audio format codecs, see the “Audio Codecs” section in the “Sizing and Scaling Cisco Unity Connection Servers” chapter of the Design Guide for Cisco Unity Connection available at, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/15/design/guide/b_15cucdg.html. Configuring the Audio and Video Format Procedure Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Telephony Integrations, and then select Port Group. Step 2 On the Search Port Groups page, select the port group that belongs to the phone system integration for which you want to change the audio format of the media stream. Step 3 On the Port Group Basics page, on the Edit menu, select Codec Advertising.
