SRST for MGCP gateways

Hi,
I read an article saying as of IOS release 12.2(11)T MGCP endpoints can be configured to become h323 endpoints when SRST mode is operating due to a WAN failure.
My situation is the following; I have several remote sites all with local MGCP 6608 gateways. Does the statement above mean I can configure these 6608's to act as an SRST reference in the case of a WAN failure, as at the moment I have total reliance on the WAN.

No it is not possible. Because right now 6608 gateway is controller by the CallManager and it can only support MGCP.
So if your WAN link goes down, phone will not be able to register with your 6608 gateway.
In case of IOS gateway, it actually falls back to H323 in case of WAN failure and then listen to the skinny messages on the interface defined in the config. Hence, IP Phones get registered with it.
Hope this would help
Thanks

  • SRST with T1 CAS MGCP Gateway

    Hello - we are trying to configure SRST on our T1 CAS MGCP gateway. We have been informed by a Cisco engineer that we cannot use SRST on a T1 CAS MGCP gateway and that the gateway must first be reconfigured as an H.323 gateway in order to implement SRST. Router is version 12.2(15)T14 and CCM 4.1 Any comments would be truly appreciated...thank you.

    SRST doesn't support MGCP but does support MGCP to H.323 failback. You can still configure your router/CCM with MGCP then use the fallback commands for MGCP.
    Looking at the SRST 4.0 system guide, page 42, T1 CAS is supported. With your version of IOS you would be running SRST 2.1, this is also supported.

    The ccm-manager fallback-mgcp command was added in IOS 12.2(11)T so it should be in your version. This is what you would need to do MGCP fallback to your H323 along with the call application alternate default.

    I would say it might be possible as I don't see anything saying no. Though remember MGCP fallback to H323 over SRST doesn't have call preservation.
    Lastly here is a document on the SRST MGCP/H323 fallback.

  • FAX Detection Application for a MGCP Gateway

    Hi,
    I have an MGCP Gateway and a Right Fax Solution along with CUCM. Was wondering if FAX detection application can be configured for this setup or is FAX detection only for H323 gateways.
    Thanks
    Prakash

    It uses TCL script, so it is not available with MGCP.

  • Trouble adding second port BRI in a 2801 MGCP gateway

    my config is CCM 413 with a 2801 SRST including a VIC2-2BRI .
    I have configured the 2801 as MGCP gateway on the CCM, added the module VIC2-2BRI and configured the BRI 0/0/0 in this gateway.
    this BRI work properly with the PSTN . I can make successfull call inbound and outbound
    Now I want to add the second BRI (ie BRI 0/0/1 ) in the gateway for the same hunt group, the same PSTN provider.
    When I do that this BRI can't register and make different kind of problem on the existing well working BRI.
    for example I noticed that I can make inbound or outbound call with connected state but no voice in the two way.
    I noticed also that the first BRI become completely blocked after two call.
    I have verified the conf of the BRI 0/0/1 but i don't see any difference with the BRI 0/0/0 .
    the only way to get back good working of the BRI 0/0/0 is to remove BRI 0/0/1 from the gateway conf.

    Hello,
    That is a good news though. Can you please share to me the TAC case nr? So I can refer this to tAC. Because we have also opened a CASE for the same problem on the 3725 but not hear from TAC yet for the patch!
    I got another image ie. IPVOICE version 12.4.1.9 from a friend that has the patch for this problem on the 2801 but there is no SPSERVICES image yet.
    Now it looks that Cisco has a newer image.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot register MGCP gateway to CCM 4.1

    Hello,
       I am running an application which simulates a MGCP gateway vs. a real CCM 4.1. I am not able to register the endpoints as you can see from the snapshot attached. I guess the problems lies in the 200 response to the following AUEP:
    AUEP 89 AALN/S0/SU0/[email protected] MGCP 0.1
    F: X+SRTP/A
    200 89 OK
    X: 2
    L: p:20, a:PCMU, b:64, e:ON, s:ON
        I have also attached the trace file and CCM logs.
       I have 2 questions on this matter:
    what is the correct format of the 200 message which needs to be sent to AUEP with SRTP?
    how can I configure CCM not to sent this AUEP with SRTP(I have a similar one in my setup which is not sending this AUEP)?
    Thanks in advanced for you support,

  • Ports required for voice gateway registration

    Hi,
    Currently our remote office voice gateway is trying to register to the CM and in between there is a firewall. We have opened port DNS, NTP, 2427 and 2428 but it still showing registering to the call manager. What other ports shall we open to make it works?
    What about the port requirement for CUE?
    Thanks.

    For MGCP:
    DNS

  • MGCP Gateway Help

    I have a site where they treat the employees, from a finance perspective, as 2 companies.  Because of this they was all their calls to go out different BRIs/PRIs so they can just charge each 'company' their share.  Last time I visited there I met with a reseller and one of their voice engineers said I could do this by creating 2 different MGCP gateways for the single router.  There may have been something I missed in translation (Japanese) but I cannot figure out how to make a second MGCP gateway for this router.
    Any ideas?

    Create different set of CSS, partitions, route patterns. Assign the new CSS to the other users with access to partitions that new duplicate route patterns are assigned to and point to the dedicated ports on the gateway.

  • Remote C2901 MGCP gateway won't register with CUCM

    Hi, all,
    We have a central call manager, we are setting up a remote office with a C2901 voice gateway that has a T1 PRI, this gateway is being configured as a H.323 gateway, everything worked fine. Now I want to get SRST working such that when WAN goes down, employees can still make outbound calls and take inbound calls. I followed SRST documentations when configuring CUCM and C2901, I would say the documentations are clear and easy to follow -- only thing is there is no adequate explanation of why those commands need to be there and I can not get SRST to work.
    1), First, a basic concept question, why do we need to configure "ccm-manager fallback-mgcp"? or any MGCP related configuration on C2901? how does MGCP play the role in SRST? the router is configured as a simple voice gateway, when WAN is intact, we use H.323 protocol, when WAN goes down, we still don't need MGCP ...
    2), Assuming that we needed all those SRST related MGCP configuration, I would expect C2901 to register to call manager, but I could not get this device to register as a MGCP gateway, debug mgcp packets shows:
    *Sep  5 16:52:47.571: MGCP Packet sent to 10.128.181.5:2427--->
    RSIP 201356931 *@voicegw-remoteoffice.local.domain MGCP 0.1
    RM: restart
    <---
    *Sep  5 16:52:47.631: MGCP Packet received from 10.128.181.5:2427--->
    500 201356931
    <---
    I verified the domain name is exactly the same as the name configured on CUCM, I tried multiple time toggling ip domain name on C2901 also, somehow CUCM does not like RSIP message from C2901, I don't have knowledge to get debug information from CUCM side of why CUCM does not like the MGCP message sent by C2901
    3), When the communication is blocked from C2901 to central call manager (by using a simple ACL on C2901's default gateway device), I can still make the inbound call to an IP phone, which means, phones were correctly registered to C2901 when communication to call manager is broken, but I can not make outbound call, phones always get quick busy beeps, test call from C2901 itself (by using "csim start") is fine, which means dial-plan and ISDN/PRI is fine.
    I believe we are just doing very very basic configuration and this is a common scenario, what could I do wrong?

    You dont need the mgcp related commands if you are using H323. The commands that you need are:
    application
    global
    service alternate default
    call-manager-fallback (or) telephony-service and the relevant commands under it.
    Also make sure that SRST reference has been added to the DP and the phones reset after the change made. This is what tell the phone to register to the SRST gateway when the WAN is down. The IP specified in the SRST reference should match whats configured under call-manager-fallback.

  • MGCP Gateway Change port from POTS to Loop Start

    I have an existing MGCP gateway port that I need to change from POTS to Loop start, however I have not seen a setting in UCM that allows me to do this. When I try to delete the port, it ask if I want to delete this gateway and I'm scared that it will blow all my ports away. Does anyone know how to reset this port to the default so I can program loop start or updat the existing port?

    Yeah you need to delete the port from the gateway and re-add it to change it.  You will need to remove route pattern/route group dependencies in order to delete the port.  I recommend you use the Dependency Records to find out what RGs this port is assigned to so that you can add it back in.
    If these are FXS ports, I'd actually recommend you keep it at POTS until CM 8.5, though, since LS is the default configuration for the port in IOS, and there is this bug on CM, which isn't fixed until 8.5:
    CSCtf22348
    MGCP FXS GroundStart and LoopStart need Prefix DN; remove Attendant DN

  • Can I use SRST for multiple sites wit separate 911 lines

    Is it possible to use an SRST (like a 2911 CME/SRST) to support multiple sites. 
    We have two sites next door to each other. They are connected by fiber with Cisco switches (vlans) at box sites.
    Can I use a single SRST and have two separate 911 POTS lines setup so that each site has it's own unique 911 associated with it?
    I can create two separate Voice vlans for the two sites and I could have both 29xx interfaces in use (one for each VLAN), but can I separate the dialing out function so that each vlan uses a unique POTS line this way?
    Any other solutions other than two SRSTs?

    We have to keep the 911 dialing the same at all sites since I already had an idea like that ...but we use 911, 9911 and 8911 for everyone to reach 911 so that they are not confused during an outage.
    We will just have to bite the bullet and order 2901 SRSTs for all our small remote sites. 

  • CUCM 9 & AS5850, Using MGCP Gateways not found in "Gateway Type" list...

    I have an application where I need to control a large, AS5850 gateway using MGCP.  CUCM version is 9.1, soon to be 10.0.  The gateway is populated with CT3 cards.
    We have confirmed that the AS5850 does in fact support MGCP, however it is not listed as an option in the list of gateway product choices when adding a new gateway in CUCM.  So my first question:
    1) How do you add an MGCP gateway in CUCM when it is not listed in the "gateway type" drop-down list?  It seems there must be a way to do this.  Other well known gateways such as the AS5300, AS5400 etc.. are also notably absent from the list of gateway choices.  Perhaps there is a template that can be edited?
    If anyone has experience utilizing an AS5850 gateway with CUCM & MGCP, it would be very useful to see sample configuration programming from your gateway.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    As per the datasheet, the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway supports H.323,  SIP, and MGCP call-control protocols with extensive SNMP management and  debugging capabilities. It works with the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch,  the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch, and many partner softswitches as well.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iad/ps509/ps512/product_data_sheet09186a008007cc48.html
    It looks like that its not supported with CUCM.

  • When they ask for the gateway address on the Tv what number is that or what number should I be looking for?

    When they ask for the gateway numbers on the TV, what number is that or what should I be looking for? I am trying to connect my wifi network on my Samsung smart TV.

    The "Gateway" address would be the Private (LAN-side) IP address of your Internet router. If you are using an AirPort base station for that router, the default gateway IP address would be: 10.0.1.1

  • Correct Web Profile - KIOSK for Candidate Gateway

    PeopleTools 8.50.08, Architecture - All Windows 2003, Oracle Enterprise 11.1.0.7
    We were not aware that if an Applicant left their web browser session up past 20 minutes without any activity, the session would expire and redirect an Applicant to the actual PeopleSoft Signon Page, which at point the external applicant would be confused as what to do.
    We need to have the Page Redirected back to the Careers Candidate Gateway Registration Page.
    We tried to change the signon.html to include the CG URL and change the Web Profile Logout Page Value to the signon.html. This caused the session expiration to be redirected to the "Errors Has Occurred" html Page, which we didn't know which html page represented the" Error Has Occurred". Therefore, as a test we changed the entire section for Errors Pages html values to the signon.html and moved the signon.html file up under psftdocs. This change worked; however, what concerns me is changing all the Error Pages html values to the signon.html.
    I don't know if this is really a problem for Candidate Gateway or not because the signin.html is not needed for external applicants, actually there isn't even a logout display on the page for an Applicant to logout gracefully.
    Please advise if you thing the change to the Error Pages html values could represent an issue. We are trying to eliminate anything that would be confusing to an Applicant because actually if they did receive an error more than likely that individual applying for a job wouldn't know how to address it or who to contact for the error. So, we thought it was best to just redirect them back to the Careers Registration Page, which is the signon.html that we changed for all values representing the Error Pages in the Web Profile.
    Does anyone know the correct way or have an example to configure the Web Profile Look & Feel Tab correctly?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Set B Channel ID information to Preferred in MGCP Gateway

    Hi All,
    We recently had some E1 PRI issues and our Service Provider has asked us to set B Channel ID information to Preferred.
    We are using a MGCP Gateway with CUCM 9.1.2
    When we enable ISDN debug we could see the Channel ID as Exclusive.
    Jul 25 13:02:07.566: ISDN Se0/0/0:15 Q931: TX -> SETUP pd = 8  callref = 0x0043
            Sending Complete
            Bearer Capability i = 0x8090A3
                    Standard = CCITT
                    Transfer Capability = Speech
                    Transfer Mode = Circuit
                    Transfer Rate = 64 kbit/s
            Channel ID i = 0xA98381
                    Exclusive, Channel 1
    I tried to change it to Preferred by configuring the command, "isdn negotiate-bchan"   under the serial interface but still debug shows it as Exclusive only.
    Let me know whether we can change the B Channel information either in CUCM or MGCP Gateway.

    Hi
    Can you try the below:-
    1- interface x/x/x:15
    isdn protocol-emulate network
     isdn bchan-number-order ascending
    then test again
    2-Go to CUCM - gateway and do the below
    CHANNEL IE TYPE " TIMESLOTS " 
    Thanks
    please rate all useful information

  • MGCP Gateways and Cisco Fax

    We are considering adding a fax solution to our IPT infrastructure using Cisco Fax (Captaris RightFax). Ideally we would like the same voice gateways to terminate the fax calls (internal voice calls use QSIG and external calls use Q.931). Can this be achieved with MGCP-controlled Voice gateways? Can T.38 fax be configured with an MGCP gateway. I have seen examples where H.323 dial-peers are required to talk SIP to the Fax Server.
    If not, is an alternative to use a back-to-back PRI connection between a voice gateway port and the Fax Server ISDN card, with appropriate route patterns in CallManager to route the fax calls to Fax Server, using Cisco Fax Relay?

    with cm 4.2.3 there is mgcp t.38 support implemented.
