Ringback Problem

rod.blackie

Level 1

hi, interesting problem here:

sometimes when dialing out from an ip phone I don't hear a ringback from the called number - sometimes I do. This has no pattern as to numbers etc, it just happened intermittently.

I am on a 2821 ios 12.4 spservices. h323 with local break out over PRI isdn.

my dial peer config for pots is:

dial-peer voice 1 pots

tone ringback alert-no-PI

description *** Outgoing calls to PSTN ***

destination-pattern 9T

progress_ind setup enable 3

progress_ind alert enable 8

progress_ind progress enable 8

progress_ind connect enable 8

translate-outgoing calling 2000

incoming called-number .

direct-inward-dial

port 0/0/0:15

any help is resolving this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Rod

Generally, the progress_ind alert enable 8 will resolve. Try issuing voice call send-alert in config mode. This may be also be a firmware issue.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I already have that command in place. Re the firmware - do you think its the E1 card firmware or something else..?

My new site is sitting of the back of a 100Mb LES circuit, the building is connecter the the WAN point of entry via a 100Mb PAV link (half duplex connection) the WAN link is a 2Mbps MPLS connection to our central site where the UCM publisher is located - I am starting to think that it might be lost h225 signal packets due to the PAV link running at half duplex.

I activated SRST on the H323 gateway and did not have the problems!!!

Hi Rod,

Try this on the pots dial peer:

progress_ind alert strip 8

hth,

nick

hi nick,

I tried your command this morning and it stil didn't work.

We are re-locating out WAN link to the building where the LES 100Mb circuit terminates - rulling out the PAV and Duplex issue - I'm hopping this will solve my issue - will post later today if it has.

any other ideal would be welcome.

Thanks..

Rod

Hi Nick, I have found the following issue from my debug isdn q931 command:

it looks like the Progress Ind i = 0x8183 - Origination address is non-ISDN line is missing from the debug of the phone that didn't have ringback???

any ideas?

That's odd - you're sending ringback in the setup.

What's the full call flow, including protocols and versions of software?

hth,

nick

Hi Nick,

We are using spservicesk9-mz.124-9.t7.bin, the phones are using skinny and the voip gateway is h323.

Call flow is

IP PHONE>LES>PAV>MPLS>UCM

All PSTN numbers break out at local gateway

I heard there was a bug in 12.4 with outgoing PSTN problems, I trying downloading 12.3 SPS and it doesn't have the commands for enabling the E1 card ?...

Thanks

Rod

Hi Nick,

We moved our WAN connection and it hasn't stopped the problem. ringback is still failing sometimes.

I have no idea why you're sending in-band information in a SETUP. It doesn't really make sense.

I would have to read through CUCM traces and dig deeper to figure out why you're doing something like that.

-nick

Any ideas on this onoe ever Rob?

I have the same issue on

H.323 -> gatekeeper -> CVP -> gatekeeper -> CCM - > outbound H323 PSTN.

Same thing no ringback and see that progress is being sent in band.. originating is not ISDN.

Anyways ideas would rock

Chad

Hi Chad,

I changed the configuration on my pots dial-peer and it fixed my problem.

New config:

dial-peer voice 1 pots

tone ringback alert-no-PI

description *** Outgoing calls to PSTN ***

destination-pattern 9T

progress_ind setup enable 3

progress_ind progress enable 8

progress_ind connect enable 8

port 0/0/0:15

good luck

Had a similiar issue - no ringback tones on certain calls (no discernable pattern to the calling party destination). Tried all combinations of 'progress_ind...' to no avail.

Then tried 'tone ringback alert-no-pi' under each of my outbound pots dial-peers and hey-presto - got ringback consistently!

Afterwards found this doc:

"Troubleshooting No Ringback Tone on ISDN-VoIP (H.323) Calls" found under Technology Support>Voice>GW Protocols>Design>Design Technotes
