  4. Why H.323? • Advantages of H.323 gateways: • Dial plan can be configured directly on the gateway. • Translations can be defined per gateway. • Regional conditions can be met within multisite deployments. • Call routing configuration can be more specific than on Cisco CallManager. • There is no need for extra SRST-related call routing configuration. • There is no dependency on the Cisco Unified CallManager version. • More voice interface types are supported. • ISDN NFAS is supported. • Fax support is advanced. • Call preservation was enhanced for PRI calls since Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(9)T.

  19. Verifying an H.323 Integration with Cisco Unified CallManager • Dial-peer show and debug commands: router# show dial-peer voice tag • Displays detailed information about the specified dial peer router# show dial-peer voice summary • Displays a summary of all active dial peers router# debug voip dialpeer • Displays default debug output for all active VoIP dial peers

  21. Summary • H.323 gateways are used to interconnect H.323 VoIP networks to networks that are using different signaling and/or bearer types. • An H.323 call flow consists of signaling and transmission of bearer and media packets. • H.323 allows extremely flexible decentralized call processing and call handling. • When implementing H.323 gateways, also consider DTMF and fax. • To configure an H.323 gateway, you must define at least the H.323 voice service, voice ports, and VoIP and POTS dial peers.

  22. Summary (Cont.) • To integrate an H.323 gateway into Cisco Unified CallManager, at least a new gateway and a route pattern. • To verify the Cisco Unified CallManager integration of a gateway, there are useful show and debug commands available on Cisco IOS voice gateways.

  23. Gateway Deployments Implementing MGCP Gateways

  24. Overview of MGCP Gateways • Call processing is done by a call agent such as Cisco Unified CallManager. • MGCP gateways translate voice streams between audio signals and the IP packet network. • Configuration commands for MGCP define this information: • The path between the call agent and the gateway • The type of gateway • The type of calls handled by the gateway

  25. Overview of MGCP Gateways (Cont.) • MGCP uses endpoints and connections to construct a call. • Endpoints: • Sources of or destinations for data • Physical or logical locations in a device • Connections: • Point-to-point • Multipoint • MGCP uses UDP for establishing audio connections over IP networks.

  27. Why MGCP? • Advantages of MGCP gateways: • Centralized dial plan configuration on the Cisco Unified CallManager • Centralized gateway configuration on the Cisco Unified CallManager • Simple Cisco IOS gateway configuration • Supports QSIG supplementary services with Cisco Unified CallManager

  28. Why MGCP? (Cont.) • H.323 versus MGCP gateways:

  29. MGCP Configuration Considerations The MGCP gateway downloads the configuration from the Cisco Unified CallManager TFTP server. Cisco Unified CallManagerAdministration Configuration is done via the web-based Cisco Unified CallManager Administration page. TFTP Server onCisco Unified CallManager MGCPGateway

  30. Basic MGCP Configuration • Configuring The MGCP configuration server: Router(config)# ccm-manager config server ip-address • Identifies the server from which the MGCP configuration should be downloaded router(config)# ccm-manager config • Enables the MGCP configuration download from the configured server

  31. Basic MGCP Configuration (Cont.) ccm-manager config server 192.168.1.1 ccm-manager config ccm-manager mgcp ccm-manager music-on-hold ccm-manager config server 192.168.1.1 ccm-manager config ! mgcp mgcp call-agent 192.168.1.1 2427 service-type mgcp version 0.1 mgcp dtmf-relay voip codec all mode out-of-band mgcp rtp unreachable timeout 1000 action notify mgcp modem passthrough voip mode nse mgcp package-capability rtp-package no mgcp package-capability res-package mgcp package-capability sst-package no mgcp package-capability fxr-package mgcp package-capability pre-package no mgcp timer receive-rtcp mgcp sdp simple mgcp rtp payload-type g726r16 static ! mgcp profile default Manually configured Configuration after TFTP download

  32. MGCP Commands • Enable MGCP and define the MGCP call agent: Router(config)# mgcp • Enables the MGCP protocol router(config)# mgcp call-agent ip-address • Specifies the primary Cisco Unified CallManager router(config)# ccm-manager mgcp • Enables the MGCP gateway to support Cisco Unified CallManager

  33. MGCP Commands (Cont.) • Configuring MGCP redundancy: Router(config)# ccm-manager redundant-host ip-address • Identifies up to two backup Cisco Unified CallManager servers router(config)# ccm-manager switchback mode • Configures switchback mode for returning control to the primary Cisco Unified CallManager router(config)# ccm-manager fallback-mgcp • Enables the MGCP fallback feature

  34. MGCP Commands (Cont.) • Configuring MOH and DTMF: Router(config)# ccm-manager music-on-hold • Enables music-on-hold router(config)# ccm-manager music-on-hold bind interface • Binds the multicast MOH feature to a designated interface Router(config)# mgcp dtmf-relay voip codec {all | low-bit-rate} mode {cisco | nse | out-of-band} • Defines DTMF relay parameters

  35. Integrating MGCP Gateways with Cisco Unified CallManager • Perform at least these steps to integrate an MGCP-controlled voice gateway into Cisco Unified CallManager: • Add a new MGCP gateway on Cisco Unified CallManager. • Configure the device hardware on Cisco Unified CallManager. • Configure the ports on Cisco Unified CallManager. • Add a new route pattern pointing to the gateway on Cisco Unified CallManager. • Enable MGCP and define the Cisco Unified CallManager as the call agent on the voice gateway.

  41. Verifying an MGCP Integration with Cisco Unified CallManager • MGCP show commands: Router# show mgcp • Displays the MGCP settings on the gateway router# show ccm-manager • Displays the Cisco Unified CallManager failover options router# show ccm-manager fallback-mgcp • Displays whether MGCP fallback is enabled and whether it is active or not (on or off)

  42. Verifying an MGCP Integration with Cisco Unified CallManager (Cont.) • MGCP show commands (Cont.): Router# show mgcp endpoint • Displays endpoints controlled by MGCP router# show isdn status • Displays information about the status of ISDN Layers 1 to 3

  43. Summary • Within an MGCP environment, call routing is done on Cisco Unified CallManager. • Within an MGCP environment, MGCP signaling is done between Cisco Unified CallManager and the gateway while RTP traffic is transferred between the phone and the gateway. • MGCP simplifies and centralizes configuration. • The MGCP configuration is downloaded from the Cisco Unified CallManager TFTP server by the gateway. • There are several MGCP commands available on Cisco IOS gateways.

  44. Summary (Cont.) • To integrate an MGCP gateway into Cisco Unified CallManager, you must configure the device settings on the Cisco Unified CallManager. • You use show commands to view the MGCP status on Cisco IOS gateways.
