Solved: Fractional PRI

singh-ashok · ‎08-21-2008

On what protocol can fractional PRI be configured, H.323 or MGCP? Think it's H.323 but not sure.

Ayodeji Okanlawon · ‎08-21-2008

I have used fractional PRi on MGCP. People say its not supported, but I think it is. Because I have used it before. To be safe stay with H.323

For MGCP, have a look here..

Hi Ashok,

Note: Cisco CallManager does not support the configuration or use of a fractional PRI when you use it with MGCP. If fractional PRI is necessary you can use H.323 instead of MGCP.

Deji you simply rock! Just one more favour here - I see there are 2 options of configuring MGCP - Automatic, where the config gets downloaded from CCM & manual. Is there any particular reason for using any particular method?

Regards,

Ashok.

Ayodeji Okanlawon · ‎08-21-2008

Using the CCM-Config command makes configuration easier..Some pople like it, some dont. I dont like it because sometimes it can give you problems.

Baiscally, the ccm-config methos configures the oruter automatically, and the manual one is manual

dezoconnor · ‎08-21-2008

Fractional E1 may not be supported with MGCP but its certainly configurable. Register your Voice Gateway with callmanager using the ccm-manager config command, but then remove this command and reconfigure the E1 as fractional. Works for me everytime.

singh-ashok · ‎08-21-2008

Thanks again Rob, happy weekend in advance - Ashok.

singh-ashok · ‎08-21-2008

Hi Rob,

Just curious here - is something similar ( Fractional PRI) possible with SIP gateways?

Ashok.
