Configuring Wideband Codec
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager is configured to use G.722 (G.722 is enabled by default for
the Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, 9951, and 9971) and if the far endpoint supports G.722, the call
connects by using the G.722 codec in place of G.711. This situation occurs regardless of whether the user
has enabled a wideband headset or wideband handset, but if either the headset or handset is enabled, the
user may notice greater audio sensitivity during the call. Greater sensitivity means improved audio
clarity but also means that more background noise can be heard by the far endpoint—noise such as
rustling papers or nearby conversations. Even without a wideband headset or handset, some users may
prefer the additional sensitivity of G.722. Other users may be distracted by the additional sensitivity of

the default List.xml file with your stored copy.

System > Enterprise Parameters. The default value of this enterprise parameter is True, which
means that all Cisco Unified IP Phone Models 9971 that are registered to this Cisco Unified
Communications Manager advertises G.722 to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If each
endpoint in the attempted call supports G.722 in the capabilities set, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager chooses that codec for the call when possible.
Advertise G.722 Codec—From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose
Device > Phone. The default value of this product-specific parameter is to use the value specified
