I have only found it documented in the 4.X release notes. As far as the H323 trunk to the Cisco gateways, well I suspect Cisco has a way of handling that. I prefer not to use MTP resources. The Async patch solves the only issue I had with ANY of the trunking methods betweek CCM and *, which was disconnects during transfer/hold without the MTP. > - I have tested ooh323c from Asterisk-Addons.

The ooh323c mailling list just had an announcement for a new release, but the * channel driver has lagged a bit and needs to be updated. > - From your experience, do you feel that a clean CCM<->* integration is > possible ?

I am using * for services and not PBX functions. I can get calls into * from SCCP phones and our H323 gateways. > Thanks again for you quick support, and sorry for my late answer ! No problem, I hope it helps.

As of CCM 4.X, Cisco indicates that any H.323 trunk that will support MoH/Transfer/etc need MTP resources.

Odd, I am using ooh323c. I have a special test release, but the fixes for our CCM4 enviroment were added to CVS. Are you using ooh323c from Asterisk-Addons or a download from Open Systems? > I have read a lot about people having success with integratin CCM and*, > but without any details, especially around MTP configuration. > Any help would be greatly appreciated. BR, - Patrick - http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5374 <http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5374> has a patch that allows * to send RTP packets when it is not receiving them. I wasn't expecting this result, but applying this patch resolved the disconnect when a SCCP phone put a call on hold and allows transfers. The bug/patch got quite a bit of early attention, but seems to have languished. Try it out and provide feedback. Maybe enough success reports will help get it rolling again.
