IM JUST LOST ON THIS ONE (GURUS HELP Please)

Hi everyone,

CCM4.1

2811 GW using MGCP (newly migrated from H323 to MGCP).

All Inbound and Outbound Calls works fine. The Problem we are facing is that our user are experiencing a one-way-voice when calling Hotlines that belongs to ONE Specific Partner Company. They have more than 100 Hotlines. We only have this problem with this ONE company.

All Calls goes through through our E1 PRIs to the PSTN then to an IVR (with voice recognition) of that company, after a User choose the option he wants (speak to an Agent), they get transfered to the Agent, when the Agents picks up the phone, we can hear him but he can't hear us. The Problem is very SPROADIC, say 30% of calls to those hotlines experience this problem the rest 70% went fine.

I mostly checked everything related to one way voice. I still don't have a clue what this might be.

Our Partner Company says everything is fine on their side and that we should digg deeper for the problem on our side.

1- When on Phone i double click "?" and see that Packets are increasing both RX and TX.

2- the debug isdn q931 showed me nothing.

3- i tried debug voice rtp, but the Debugging made the Call completly inaudible, so when the IVR tell me to say something, it can't recognise what im saying while im in Debugging mode (only one call at that time was made on that gateway).

4- Callmanager traces: Nothing!!!.

5- show controller e1 show no slip errors or whatever,

Im really lost here guys and need some Guru advice. Thanks.

I have experienced a lot of one way audio loss and the problem (in our case) is the way the traffic is being handled by the firewall. Have you had your security engineer on both ends look at the traffic?

If these problem calls are only with one particular number on the PSTN, there is likely a difference in the Q931 messages that come in. The most common reason is some kind of progress IE that indicates in band audio - it's hard to be more specific than this without some Q931 traces. I would suggest you get two logs - one for a call to a good number and the other log for the number that has the problem. If it takes a while to have a failing call, make sure you also include a trace that shows the WORKING call to the number as well. Edit the debugs so you only show the good/bad logs ... No one likes wading through excessive trace files.

Secondly, I notice in your config you have 'application mgcpapp' under your POTS dial peers. This is not needed and can cause many 'weird' issues - the MGCP is already enabled by the command 'pri-group timeslots 1-31 service mgcp' and 'isdn bind-l3 ccm-manager' , so configuring the service under the dial peer causes a second ISDN stack to start up and it can cause problems interacting with the rest of the software. Remove 'application mgcpapp' off the dial peers !!!!!

The other thing is that since you are using the CLI syntax of 'application mgcpapp', this is an older release of code. Without any scientific basis for this recommendation , I would suggest you try loading the latest 12.4 mainline (non T) release of IOS onto the router and see if that helps as well. For voice, latest is generally the best.

Thank you Cameron, i will try that with disabling the "application mgcpapp" and maybe then do an IOS upgrade, hopefully this will fix it. I will post again in a few Days.

Had a similar problem the other day! Try altering the Mgcp bind statement to the voice vlan sub interface. It worked for me.

@COGGIN

you mean this two commands:

mgcp bind control source-interface FastEthernet0/0

mgcp bind media source-interface FastEthernet0/0

what do you mean with altering them to the Voice VLAN interface???

@pcameron

I did remove the application mgcpapp, but it didn't work. I will Upgrade the IOS to 13.4 next week.

I think what he was getting at is to make sure the mgcp bind commands point to an interface with an address in a voice vlan for which QoS has been configured.

A lot of people like to use Loopback interfaces for the bind commands, given that they are always in an *up* state.
