"moh Virgin-on-hold.wav"

You should have "virgin-on-hold.au".
File format is not correct.

Hi all

Well i tried my second implementation of MOH on multicast and this
time i didnt enable multicast on the router and its not working

The file is working as i have tested it on unity express which
requires the same format and it works also with multile formats

But when i do a sh ephone summ

i see this Skinny Music on hold Status
No MOH file loaded

I have the files on the router flash. I deleted it multiple times and
put it back again still not working

I also made the loopback address which again is on a different subnet
than ccm and VG and added on the route

CCM:- 10.0.12.X, GW:- 10.0.19.X, Loopback:- 10.0.0.1

call-manager-fallback
moh Virgin-on-hold.wav
multicast moh 239.1.1.1 port 16384 route 10.0.19.10 10.0.0.1

Also the time when i take multicasting off from Media resource group
settings it works perfectly.

i also have the HOP count set to 1 on the MOH server..

So what do u think seems to be the issue

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Integrating Cisco CallManager and Cisco SRST to Use Cisco SRST As a Multicast MOH Resource

2009-06-17 Thread Michael Ciarfello
Just wanted to re-confirm for my notes that multicast Moh from flash can only 
use G.711, so the multicast address should only be a x.x.x.1 (for first 
source.)  That the Multicast Moh server on CCM should be in a G711 only region, 
etc.

Multicast Moh from CCM to remote site can be g729 and use 239.1.1.3 as in the 
example below.

To Play the MOH from flash, you won't need Mcast enabled anywhere, not even on 
the local router.

I would check what codec I am trying MOH to be played in, if G729, u've to 
select G729 in IPVMS Service parameters and set the base address to 239.1.1.3 
in CCM and in SRST Router.

If this router is going to serve as SRST gateway, the file has to be G711 only.

Also, to extend the MOH to PSTN, you've to have loopback interface on the 
router and add that loopback address in the: multicast moh command. Recommended 
is to remove the command completely and entry new one rather then trying to 
modify it on the fly.

multicast moh 239.1.1.1 port 16384 route SUB_IF IP LOOPBACK_IP

2009-06-16 Thread Cristi Radescu
Hi Cristobal,

You don't need to match the two names(in CCM and flash).
Probably you had some problems with file loaded on flash. When you uploaded it 
once again you loaded file in supported format.
You can verify that everything is ok with file with "sh ephone summ".

Thank you to all of the people that answered my question. we got this problem 
resolved our problem was that the Name on the MOH audio source in CCM didn't 
match with the file name stored in Flash, once we changed the name on the file 
and uploaded it again to the flash it worked like charm

Hi Michael,

You're welcome.
You will need this command:

multicast moh 239.1.1.x port 16384 route VOICE_VLAN_IP LOOPBACK_IP

Basically, when you configure this, the router will start to transmit music to 
multicast ip address 239.1.1.x port 16384 on interfaces VOICE_VLAN and 
LOOPBACK. Loopback is needed there because you will need MoH for the PSTN 
phones. After that you must configure phones to "listen" to that address from 
call-manager-fallback(239.1.1.x, where x depends on codec used).
When a phone is on hold it will listen to the address from it's configuration 
file. You can verify what address CCM configured for the phones by verifying 
configuration files on TFTP Server.
Also, if you did a mistake in "multicast moh" command you must delete it and 
put it again in order to work with the new configurations.

Hope this helps,
Cristi

Did the original poster get this working?

I did verify multicast routing is not needed on any router.  (Thanks Cristi). 
Also no PIM is needed.

I DID have to reboot the router becasue the multicast packets kept coming from 
the loopback interface on my last configuration even though SRST source-address 
was voice VLAN interface.

Seemed to need the route command in my last configuration.  IP of loopback AND 
IP of voice VLAN. I think MGCP was bound to loopback and SRST was bound to 
voice vlan.  I'll re-try Christ's route meaning, but think if I didn't also 
have loopback music stopped.

Never configured the route command for a customer.  Still working on perfecting 
the configuration and meanings of everything.  I can get it to work, but that's 
not expert enough for me.

Did the original poster get this working?

I did verify multicast routing is not needed on any router.  (Thanks Cristi). 
Also no PIM is needed.

I DID have to reboot the router becasue the multicast packets kept coming from 
the loopback interface on my last configuration even though SRST source-address 
was voice VLAN interface.

Seemed to need the route command in my last configuration.  IP of loopback AND 
IP of voice VLAN. I think MGCP was bound to loopback and SRST was bound to 
voice vlan.  I'll re-try Christ's route meaning, but think if I didn't also 
have loopback music stopped.

Never configured the route command for a customer.  Still working on perfecting 
the configuration and meanings of everything.  I can get it to work, but that's 
not expert enough for me.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Integrating Cisco CallManager and Cisco SRST to Use Cisco SRST As a Multicast MOH Resource

2009-06-10 Thread Michael Ciarfello
Hi and welcome.

Did you upload the MOH file to all the other servers in the cluster?
Multicast routing enabled on the remote gateway?
You have 239.1.1.1 which implies FIRST music source, G.711.  Are you using 
G.711 over the WAN?
What does show ccm-manager music-on-hold output when the phone is on hold?
What does show ip mroute display when on hold?

There is a Cisco made document describing this feature.  Probably search for 
Moh from router flash on the Cisco web site.

The remote phone config file should have in it 239.1.1.1 for Moh.  You can get 
the phone.xml file from the TFTP directory if the appropriate TFTP service 
parameters are set or since you are a production system I wouldn't mess with 
them and would sniff the phone bootup packets to read that file from the 
sniffer.  The phone might be listening to another IP Address for some reason.

Multicast MOH from remote site flash is like the phone turning a radio channel. 
 If it doesn't tune to the proper channel (defined in the config file 
downloaded to the phone) you don't hear the radio program.

Cristian

I enable multicast on 1 server only 239.1.1.1 port 16384, we are using audio
source 1. i configured a region for the MOH servers only, so it will only
use g711. the increment is per ip address

If i issue a show ephone summary, it says that "no moh file loaded"

under call-manager fallback i have

ip source 10.11.21.1 port 2000
moh BeStillMyLove.wav
multicast moh 239.1.1.1 port 16384 route 10.11.21.1

I have the following debugs enabled on the router

ephone moh
h245 asn

when i place a call within the same location i get the beeps, however i
don't see any output on the router for the debugs

i can see on performance thatn a multicast session becomes active indeed.
the same happens if i place a call between locations

do you think the problem is with the audio file ?  should i try with a *.au
file ?

thanks

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Integrating Cisco CallManager and Cisco SRST to Use Cisco SRST As a Multicast MOH Resource

2009-06-10 Thread Cristi Radescu
Hi Cristobal,

Just a starting point in your debug:
-  enable multicasting only on a server not both; if you will have both 
you must configure different starting IP addresses on each server and this will 
not work in Moh from flash scenario;
-  239.1.1.1 is for audio source 1, codec g711u; make sure you are 
using this one for MoH. If you have g729 between regions you should have there 
239.1.1.3 and G729 enabled for MoH in service parameters;
-  also you can use "debug ephone moh" for debugging on router.
-  Also in SRST condition, ip phones will receive only beeps. PSTN 
phones will receive music.

Hope this helps,
Cristian
