Cisco CCM, CCME, PSTN post-dial delay longer than other brands

teru-lei
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All,

My customer with using CCME complaint that the post-dial delay is too long for PSTN calls (they have pressed #). Actually we found that the time is more or less the same using CCM. I compared the delay with Notel and Avaya IP Phone system today and found that Cisco is really the slowest with obvious much longer time compared with Avaya. Nortel is the second, Avaya is the fastest. The test is using IP phones of different brands to dial to my mobile. The voice gateway is H323 gateway (except CCME combined with Voice Gateway). Outgoing line using FXO. Can I do something to shorten the delay?

Thank you!

Best Regards,

Teru Lei

Hi, if they press #, the router calls immediately. You can collect "debug vpm signal" with ms timestamps, to confirm.

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

I have tried by myself. If not press #, as we all know, the interdigit timeout will make the delay even longer.I think it's not CCM or CCME problem. It's the voice gateway.... I can see the signaling go through... but really slow to make the call setup. then I go to other customers' site who use Notel and Avaya system to test, the speed is very faster, specially for Avaya, very fast connection. But the Notel and Avaya systems are not implemented by my company so that I just can make call to test. And what I know is that the customers all use FXO for outgoing calls.

Ok, are you using MGCP or H.323 ?

If the latter, you can collect "debug vpm signal" after configuring "service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime", one can check where the delay accumulates and if any timer can be shortened to reduce it.

Thanks for your reply. I am using H323. actually I have several clients using CCM/CCME with Cisco Voice Gateway but no complaint but now one customer complaint then I tried to compare different brand IP phone system and unhappy can this result... is there any common timmers I can use to optimized the delay?

Thank you!

Possibly "timeouts initial" under voice-port.

Try to be present when your customer do tests, because sometime turns out that beside inadequate testing procedures are used, critiques on minor issues like that, are to blame cisco for whatever reason, as they have already preference for some other vendor.

And in reality, no organization that really cares about call quality and features uses analog lines, but ISDN exclusively.

Thanks! I will try once I get chance to do that

Seems that it gets around 10 sec to setup the call, and also the voice port send digit to outside is slow.(02:02:01 to 02:02:10) any timers I should try to tune the setup time?

Thank you very much!

Thank you! and I have removed ephone-dn and ephone config

Two solutions -

1) Make your destination patterns specific to the PSTN number ranges. For example, if your local city calls are 8 digits, in the range of 5XXX XXXX - 8XXX XXXX, then create a dial peer like this -

!

dial-peer voice 111 pots

description - local calls

destination-pattern 9[5-8].......

port 0/0/0

!

you can also use trunk groups to reduce the quantity dial peers by group the voice ports into trunk groups and using these on the dial peers. Do a search on netpro for config examples.

You will to create multiple dial peers to cover your full internal/local/regional numbering plan. Use a destination pattern of 9011T for international calls.

2) Keep your current dial peer config and reduce the interdigit timeout. The default is 10 seconds -

telephony-service

timeouts interdigit 3

Don't reduce it any more than 3 seconds as you find that people tend to hesitate when dialing and the timeout is too short the dialing starts before they have finished scratching their noses !
