Solved: Vocie gateway D channel down by losing network connectivity to CCM?

yuhuiyao · ‎05-07-2010

All,

Is there any possibility that losing network connectivity to call manager will bring down ISDN D channel on voice gateway or it is totally non related? I am running MGCP between voice gateway and CCM.

Thanks

Absolutely. With MGCP, the ISDN Q.931 is backhauled to the CUCM. This means that CUCM controls the D+B channels. If CUCM is dropped (fault in host, network, etc.) then your Q.931 protocol exchange ceases and your D-channel (and B-channels) are dropped.

HTH.

Most definitley. MGCP is backhauled to CUCM so connctivity issues

would result in losing the primary D Channel and the B channels. In

some instances a carrier flap may only show a D channel down but if

you know you lost connection then that would be the primary issue.
