Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Media Resources Backup Redundancy

2008-08-28 Thread Rimon Vallavanatt Jr.
I think the problem is that if you are using a transcoding resource at
BR1 then your stream across the WAN would be G711. In the scenario you
give only 729 is allowed on the WAN.

 

Example given:

 

Scenario 1

MoH Server -G711-HQ Xcoder-WAN-G729-BR1 Phone

 

Scenario 2

MoH Server -G711-WAN-BR1 Xcoder-G729-BR1 Phone

 

I think CFB resources as backups would work as long as there are
transcoding resources available.

 

Scenario 1

HQ CFB -G711-HQ Xcoder-WAN-G729-BR1 Phone

 

Scenario 2

HQ Phone -WAN-G729-BR1 CFB

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Media Resources Backup Redundancy

 

Hello,
 
Would it be possible for one location to use media resources (confbridge
and transcoder) from another remote location?  For example, can HQ users
use media resources located at the BR1 location?  I know it's possible
because many exercises in the workbook ask you configure media resources
redundancy.  However, when i configured it, it never worked.  
 
As an example, I tried to configure MOH unicast stream from HQ to BR1
over the WAN link.  The WAN link only allows G729 codec, but I
configured the MOH unicast to support only G711 codec.  I also
configured the MOH server to have a transcoder resource located in the
BR1 location.  To test it, I placed a call from HQ to BR1 and placed the
call on hold.  I then checked the performance counter and it turned out
that the BR1 transcoder never engaged, so the MOH unicast was never
played.  If I swapped out the BR1 transcoder for the HQ transcoder, then
the that worked fine.  So if this doesn't work, then how would you
configure media resources for backup redundancy?  Thanks.

Hi,

I have seen/done several exercises about access directly to a users's
mailbox by dialing a digit, like 4 or 8, but, what if you are requested
to dial a digit that overlaps current dial plan?

For example: dial number 1 then any other 4 digits, that would be 1,
but the HQ's DNs are 1 plus three any digits, ie: 1XXX. 

How could we do the same in the unity, so the access to HQ DNs beginning
with 1 dont be affected, remember it should be already a dial-peer with
destination-pattern [12]... pointing to ras.

I have been trying to find a solution but no luck so far.

I think any kind of urgent priority patterns would prevent you from
dialing 2 numbers and would not meet the requirement.

 

2001 - urgent

Can't dial 20012 (routes at 2001)

 

You could decrease the interdigit timer on CUCM to 3 secs so that you
don't have to wait as long. 

 

That's what I was doing in CME.

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] Gatekeeper 1st call g711 2nd call g729 - works but not as expected

2008-05-30 Thread Rimon Vallavanatt Jr.
I have setup the following:

 

Configured two regions on the CCM, one that talks G.711 to everything
else and one that talks G.729 to everything else. Created two DP, GK-711
and GK-729 with their respective regions. I registered the GK in call
manager and then created two trunks. One using the GK-G711-DP and
another using GK-G729-DP. Then created one route group with both trunks
using top down distribution with GK-711-Trunk first and GK-G729-Trunk
second. Created a RL and RP to point to the Route Group. I set BRQ to
true on the CUCMs.


I've also tried it with two RGs. I've tried it with the voice class
codec and with two different dial-peers, one with 711, one with 729. It
works just fine. The gatekeeper shows one call 711 one call 729. The
phones on the CME , if I hit the ? button show what I would expect.

 

The problem is that at the HQ site the phones both show 711 when I hit
the ? button.  I verified that the 729 stream is being transcoded to
g711. My question is why?

 

Thanks,

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] AAR, TEHO, backup gws

2008-05-06 Thread Rimon Vallavanatt Jr.
I'm confused as to how AAR should work when you factor in backup
gateways. 

 

It's easy enough to exclude TEHO patterns from the AAR CSS but when
local, ld, or intl patterns have backup gateways it seems to me that AAR
should not use them either. If that is the case then wouldn't it be
better to just create a separate dial-plan for AAR? Since that would be
very time consuming what do you think about just creating a single
pattern for AAR and giving each site's AAR CSS access to only that?

 

e.g.

 

css-hq-aar includes only pt-hq-aar  and pattern 9.@ in pt-hq-aar that
points to a RL with only the local gw.

css-br1-aar includes only pt-br1-aar  and pattern 9.@ in pt-br1-aar that
points to a RL with only the local gw.
