Hi Andreas,

Call signalling all works fine right through out from NITB to LCR and out
on SIP. how ever im getting some strange media behaviour.

My setup is,

[MS]---[nano.BTS]---[NITB/LCR]----[SIP Softswitch]

LCR is setup to bridge two interfaces, so what ever comes from gsm goes to
sip and what ever comes from sip goes to gsm.

Now a test call from a mobile to mobile, should go all the way to the
softswitch and come back.

All works fine in terms of signalling.

But in media, LCR seems sending initial SDP to the softswitch as PCMA:8 not
gsm FR.

So softswitch expect the media as PCMA and not transcoding.

Same if the call goes out from softswitch, still no medial as it think
incoming media from LCR is on PCMA.

Any idea about this ?

This is the LCR trace -  http://pastebin.com/5PNKYc5m
This is the sip trace from softswitch -  http://pastebin.com/cVtx1mFB
