There's not enough information to provide a definitive answer, but it does sound like a media negotiation issue to me as well, especially since you received the same error when using MGCP control. ALERTING is one of a few ISDN messages that trigger an audio connection attempt via various internal processes to CCM; it's at this point that media capabilities are shared, compared, and negotiated. My suggestion would be to debug h245 asn1 at the gateway and review detailed CCM traces off the CUCM node - focus on the TCS and MSD sessions.
The last entry in the output you provided below shows the router began waiting for the master/slave determination to occur, but I have a feeling the rest of the output was simply cut off so I won't focus on that. Off the top of my head... make sure the capabilities being advertised and matched are equal to or below the configured bitrate on the associated region relationship - in traces, you'll see an attempt at region capabilities matching after the exchange of TCS - I'd also check for any capabilities mismatch, transcoder or MTP allocation attempts, etc. after the TCS exchange (assuming you keep it a H.323 gateway). Hope you find this helpful. - Daniel From: ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com [mailto:ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com] On Behalf Of Samson Kareem Sent: Monday, October 21, 2013 1:33 PM To: ccie_voice@onlinestudylist.com Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Outbound PSTN call drops Hi All, I am hitting an issue where outbound PSTN calls are failing after the call initially seems to setup ok. Then the H323 gateway sends a disconnect to the PSTN and the call drops as per below.

I found an old post from OSL Nov 2011 where someone suggested a codec mismatch with the H245 negotiation which causes the call to drop immediately after the alerting message. The thing is I have a voice class codec configured and in any case, the gateway was originally an MGCP gateway and calls were failing with the same ISDN disconnect cause (I only changed it to a H323 g/w for troubleshooting purposes). I tried using debug cch323 h245 and have pasted the output received after the ISDN alerting message below. I believe this is when codec negotiation takes place on the voip leg of the call between CUCM and the g/w.
