Known Limitations

  • Maximum of five concurrent calls when G722 codec is used on all calls.
  • Maximum of four concurrent calls when G729a codec is used on all calls.
  • When G722 codec is enabled on the base, even if all calls negotiate to G711 codec, the maximum number of calls is nine.
  • SRTP cannot be enabled on this device in Admin Console. If this feature is required, create a case for 8x8 Support to enable it.
  • Poly does not yet support SIP Publishes on Rove devices, so no quality metrics will be available in Analytics for 8x8 Work.
