[OSL | CCIE_Voice] CCM-->CUE call fail

2009-02-22 Thread Kevin Hogan (kevhogan)
Have CCM---> GK Controlled ICT (G.729) -- > CME --> CFNA (or direct to
VM) -->CUE.
 
With IOS 12.4(3) call gets to CUE, but no audio.  With IOS 12.4(23) call
gets fast busy (tried changing IOS incase DSP firmware issue or bug).  
 
I have xcoders on CME...here is the output of show sccp:
SCCP Admin State: UP
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Switchover Method: IMMEDIATE, Switchback Method: GUARD_TIMER
Switchback Guard Timer: 1200 sec, IP Precedence: 5
Max Supported MTP sessions: 0
User Masked Codec list: None
Transcoding Oper State: ACTIVE - Cause Code: NONE
Active Call Manager: 10.1.202.1, Port Number: 2000

Active Call Manager: NONE
TCP Link Status: NOT_CONNECTED
Call Manager: 10.1.202.1, Port Number: 2000
Priority: 1, Version: 3.1 or Higher
 
The "Max Supported MTP sessions: 0" seems strange to me.  Not sure if
that is normal or not.  If I use g.711 throughout the call goes through
fine.
 
Relevant pieces of CME config:

Hey Vik

That's an interesting point. I never thought ATA can also be configured as
Trunk as well as i've always configured it as access port but you've cleared
the confusion. What would you recommend?  ATA port to be configured as
"Access " or "Trunk" as a best practice?

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] B-Channel Maintenance not working properly

2009-02-22 Thread Hardesty, Scott
 Agreed!  It does not work well at all.   I typically will have calls
incoming / outgoing the 6608 PRI and make a call 1 hour later to find
that the call fails.  After a fitting Microsoft salute (reset), the call
goies through...

I've battled with this service parameter for over 5 years. It doesn't
work
properly- I would use Top-Down with a fractional PRI.

But if you are trying to get it working you must ensure that you "Enable
Status Poll" on the gateway page. Also- you could try including a
"space"
after every 4 bits (although I'm told that is not necessary, that is
what I
have always done since the example show this).

So try this : (+ Enable Status Poll).

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] RDP to Unity Issues in Proctorlabs

I am connecting to my PODs at PL via EZVPN and have issues when trying to
RDP into the Unity servers (CCM Pub and Sub are fine).  When I attempt to
RDP into Unity it opens and I just get a black screen same with VNC.  I
actually have to RDP to Unity using the TS client on the Pub or Sub.  Anyone
else ever have these issues?  What did you do to resolve it?

2009-02-22 Thread Mark Snow
The parameter tends not to "stick" properly. In other words, you  
configure it but it doesn't seem to work - fix is usually just to go  
back to the SP page and take it out, do an update, then put it back  
in, do an update. That "should" fix it. If it doesn't - rinse and  
repeat. I have usually seen most people who do that dance once get it  
working. In the real lab if you had to configure it and it didn't seem  
to work - if you took it out and put it back in and that still didn't  
do the trick - then as Vik said use Top Down. That way even if you do  
happen to miss the points for avoiding glare - at least the rest of  
your calls work properly and you can test. I would also inform the  
proctor what you had done and that you had most certainly run into a  
bug - that way possibly the proctor might not count it as wrong.

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] B-Channel Maintenance not working

2009-02-22 Thread Ken McCoy
Sometimes you have to insert the fields "S0/ds...@sda000332333241 = 0001  
   " and update.  Then, due to a "feature", you might have to 
remove the field (via cut), click update, and insert the field again (via 
paste).  Call it the "apply, rinse, & repeat" method.

Also, status polling has to be enabled for it to work properly.

One other thing, is this a MGCP or H323 gateway config that you are working 
with?

Hi List,

during my last Remote-Rack Sessions i noticed that the B-Channel Maintenance 
Status Parameter is not workking properly. Always when i configured it and 
restartet the CCM Srevice and the Gateway itself, it is working for some calls. 
And suddenly the Gateway is trying to call out over the not available B-Channels

I configured the Maintenance Status the following ways:

1) S0/ds...@sda000332333241=0001

2) S0/ds...@sda000332333241 = 0001

But both of them did not work. What am i doing wrong here?

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Antw: ATA186 dot1q ot not?

2009-02-22 Thread Chris Parker

Vik,

If thats the case, I'd think it'd be preferable to use the dot1q voice 
vlan because if you set the port as an access port, you must trust the 
dscp and I believe the ATA does not use CS3 for signaling by default? I 
think to have it use CS3 for signaling you must set the TOS parameter to 
0x60b8 in the ATA GUI?

Robert is correct. the ATA 186 you should configure as an access port 
and not dot1q. The ATA188 (which have a PC port) you would configure 
as a dot1q port, but they are not on the lab.

The 13 bytes for MLP mentioned on pg 1-15 has been subject for many debates
on this list. Everybody has there own conclusion. Mine is that in the lab I
would treat the 13 bytes as including the FR header and hence this is the
value that I would use. I think if you use the codec calculator tool it will
show 11 bytes as the correct value for MLPoFR.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] B-Channel Maintenance not working properly

2009-02-22 Thread Vik Malhi
I've battled with this service parameter for over 5 years. It doesn't work
properly- I would use Top-Down with a fractional PRI.

But if you are trying to get it working you must ensure that you "Enable
Status Poll" on the gateway page. Also- you could try including a "space"
after every 4 bits (although I'm told that is not necessary, that is what I
have always done since the example show this).

So try this : (+ Enable Status Poll).

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Antw: ATA186 dot1q ot not?

2009-02-22 Thread Vik Malhi
You can confgure the ATA as an access port or as a trunk- the Opflags
parameter allows for 802.1Q encapsulation and CDP discovery of the Voice or
Auxiliaryvlan. This also allows the ATA to support layer 2 COS- the default
is 3 and 5 for signaling for media.

Robert is correct.  the ATA 186 you should configure as an access port and
not dot1q.  The ATA188 (which have a PC port) you would configure as a dot1q
port, but they are not on the lab.

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] B-Channel Maintenance not working properly

2009-02-22 Thread Robert Schuknecht
Hi List,

during my last Remote-Rack Sessions i noticed that the B-Channel Maintenance 
Status Parameter is not workking properly. Always when i configured it and 
restartet the CCM Srevice and the Gateway itself, it is working for some calls. 
And suddenly the Gateway is trying to call out over the not available B-Channels

I configured the Maintenance Status the following ways:

1) S0/ds...@sda000332333241=0001

2) S0/ds...@sda000332333241 = 0001

But both of them did not work. What am i doing wrong here?

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] Re: Fw: Compressed voice call bw calculation

2009-02-22 Thread Davide Fantin
Hi Mark and all,

I am new in this list and was reading this interesting thread.

I am a bit puzzled here about the MLP header size you used, 4 to 6 bytes.
The SRND at page 1-15 states it's 17 bytes "Multilink PPP (MLP) adds
13 bytes of Layer 2 overhead".
So I would conclude that MLP over FR gives 17 (13 + 4) or 19 (13+6)
bytes whether you consider FR with 4 or 6 bytes. With these values you
come up with:

17 L2
40 IP+UDP+RTP
20 Payload
--
77 bytes ==> (x8bit/bytes x50 pps) 30,8 kbps
with cRTP: 29 bytes ==> 15,6 kbps


19 L2
40 IP+UDP+RTP
20 Payload
--
79 bytes ==> 31,6 kbps
with cRTP: 41 bytes ==> 16.4 kbps


1) This is quite a different range that the one you calculated. So I
am confused about MLP size, could you please comment?

2) Also, I'd like some one to confirm the calculation I normally do
for FR with FRF.12 I come out with these values:

8 L2 FR+FRF.12
40 IP+UDP+RTP
20 Payload
--
68 bytes ==> (x8bit/bytes x50 pps) 27,2 kbps

with cRTP: 30 bytes ==> 12 kbps


Thanks.

Regards,

Davide

Hi List,

lets assume we are required to configure Unity with 3 Ports + 1 MWI Port. 
Normally all Voicemail Ports are in a Line Group. Would you leave the MWI 
Voicemail Port also in the Line Group or would you exclude the MWI Voicemail
