I have tested the 3.1 firmware (briefly) with Patton gateways and MOH
worked. It broke moh which works through my ingate with bandwidth.com.
When looking at my logs on my ingate I saw a "not supported" message
coming back from bandwidth.com. At the same time, the caller got silence
but taking them off hold worked and audio did not break.
 
I decided to wait for the official 3.10.4 release to try 3.1 again to
follow that through. If your Mediant is acting that wild, I would
suggest two things:
 
1. Mediant in debug mode sending to a syslog server
2. call trace from sipx
 
Granted the Mediant will lock up, it's probably worth a shot to get the
last message possible before it goes away.
 
I believe the issue will be in either the firmware for the Mediant or
the configuration of it (or it may just not be supportable at this time
by them). In my case I was running 3.10.2 using two different gateways
with different results, but nothing that locked anything up or dropped
any calls with 3.1 firmware.
 
I think once you have debug logs you could ask the appropriate
questions or at least provide adequate information to see if there is a
resolution available from AudioCodes. I am not an AudioCodes user,
Patton simply has never had the issues I have experienced with
AudioCodes, so I am a bit biased there, and will admit to it. We have a
couple of blue Audiocodes doorstops here, but no black Patton
doorstops.

No, I didn’t downgrade the firmware.  It was the patch found here
http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-2716?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel
that enables MOH for polycom phones in the sipx polycom config file
template.  As soon as I reversed that out of my phone profiles, calls
could again be put on hold (and transferred) and the Mediant didn’t
crash.  But we don’t have MOH anymore. The relevant line removed was:
<musicOnHold voIpProt.SIP.musicOnHold.uri="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> (where
domain.com matches our domain) When that line was in the phones, we
could call phone to phone, place calls on hold, and hear hold music. 
However, calls through the mediant placed on hold or attempted transfer
would effectively lock-up the Mediant with all calls dropping, admin
access not available, ping failure, etc.  The NIC port light on the
switch (for the Mediant) was going wild though. -- Jay

 Do you mean since you downgraded to Polycom 3.0.3b? If not, what is
the MoH patch you are talking about? Thanks,  Mike From: Jay Reeder

 Ok, thanks!   Since removing the MOH patch to the sipx config file
things have appeared to be fine.  But we’re not doing anything
interesting…. just placing and receiving calls. -- Jay

 It is not but some have seen some problems with 3.1.0… I think it’s
worth a test… From: Jay Reeder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Michael,  I haven’t.  We were previously using 2.2.2 and upgraded to
the 3.1.0 for the MOH.  J Is the MOH also supported in firmware 3.0.3b?

 Have you tried the same with Polycom firmware 3.0.3b? From:

Subject: [sipx-users] New Polycom Firmware - MOH locks up Mediant 2000

 Guys, I know this isn’t the correct forum but has anyone seen this
issue? We're using sipXecs version 3.11 with Polycom 330 phones (Bootrom
version 4.1.1 and SIP version 3.1.0b).  Incoming calls are received
through an Audiocodes Mediant 2000 gateway with firmware version
5.20A.033.006 (via ISDN PRI) and outgoing calls are routed back through
the same gateway over the PRI.  When a call comes from the ISDN PRI
through the Mediant 2000 to one of the polycom phones (on the new
firmware, routed by sipX) and that call is put on hold, the Mediant
“locks up”.  At that point we can’t ping the Mediant or access the web
admin.  The Mediant’s network switch port is flashing like crazy and all
calls are effectively cut off.  The call that was put on hold never
hears hold music and all calls are disconnected. Has anyone seen this
type of behavior before?  Is there a setting in the Mediant that might
affect this?  Unfortunately I can’t do much testing until after business
hours. Thanks, Jay
