force SIP calls through CUCM (SIP trunk)

no.blue.skin · ‎03-03-2010

We have some troubles with call through a SIP trunk.

There is a SIP trunk beetween a CUCM and an external (public network) SIP endpoint.

Phone calls can be established with success but the SIP calls are established between the phone device and the external SIP endpoint.

We want to force the call go through the CUCM.

Is that possible?

Many Thanks

Hi

Typically you would use an IP-IP gateway for this sort of thing.

You can do something similar by forcing the trunk to use an MTP (a software MTP runs on the CallManagers as part of the Voice Media Streaming service). The RTP will then be proxied via a CCM server...

To do this, check the 'Media Termination Point Required' on the trunk config page.

Bear in mind the software MTP supports G711 only.

Hi Aaron,

thanks for reply.

I have already try to use the "require MTP" as option on the trunk configuration, but when checked the call cannot be established.

Now you told me that the MTP supports only G711 codec so that is the problem: the SIP trunk is based on a G729a and phone devices use G722 (as default).

There is a way to overcome this "restriction"?

Many thanks

Hi

In that case you probably want to look into using something like CUBE - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps5640/products_configuration_example09186a00808ead0f.shtml,

Unfortunately,our budget do not let us to buy a CUBE device/license.

Did you think we can do the same with the 2800 router used to connect the ISDN lines?

Or something else.

Any other idea is appreciated.

Many Thanks

You could use a trixbox between the CUCM and SIP
