Help With Transcoder behavior.

hi,

i´m implementing a transcoder in a cisco 2801 Gateway with IOS Version 12.4(13r)T,
it have 2 DSPs, 32 Voice resources and i configure transcoder with 16 sessions.

all works fine, the transcoder its registered to the ccm (ccm V6.1(2)), but after a 1 or 2 days even maybe a couple of hours the transcoder stop working and the calls gets bussy tone at the moment to hang off the call (codec problem). this mean that somethings happend with transcoder.
but transcoder still registered to the CCM and the only way to fix it, is with "no sccp" and "sccp" commands.

description of implementation:

ccm cluster 1 is in Head Quarter and exist 8 branch, 6 branch talk g711 with HQ, and 2 BR talk G729 with HQ, this CCM cluster 1 have 2 intercluster trunks with 2 other cluster via GK in other locations, the GK is in cluster 2 and cluster 3 is alone in anotherlocation too, Cluster 2 and 3 have only 1 region because is only 1 head quarters.

question: with the "Sh sccp coneccions" commands, something show me g711 to g711 but i inly want to transcode g711 to g729.   =(


plz any idea what happend?

thanks

try changing your configuration from

"sccp ccm 172.16.16.2 identifier 1 version 4.1" to

"sccp ccm 172.16.16.2 identifier 1 version 6" to match the version of call manager you are running and see if the problem persists.

Thanks, but, when i configure the transcoder, only version 4.1 is available, this depends the IOS or something else?

Yes, you will need to upgrade your IOS to a later version that supports call manager version 6.

hi, i upgrade the IOS and configure with version 6, but i still have the same problem

any idea??

thanks

=)

post your full config.

Check out this document.

Good info about configuring and testing transcoding.

Also, under your sccp ccm group 1 config try binding your fast ethernet interface. "bind interface FastEthernet0/0"

Is the call manager you are referencing in the command "associate ccm 1 priority 1" the publisher or the subscriber? It would also be wise to enter more than one server in case sccp failed to communicate with one of the servers you are referencing. When doing that you will also want to set your switchover and switchback methods appropriately.

One more thing, issue the command "sccp ip precedence #" I use 3 in my configs. This increases the priority of voice packets over connections controlled by SCCP.

thanks again for your help,

i put the command that you recommends me and the config now is:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

sccp local FastEthernet0/0
sccp ccm 172.16.16.3 identifier 2 version 6
sccp ccm 172.16.16.2 identifier 1 version 6

-----------------------------------------------------------------

i can´t bind the interface but the other commands yes.

i look at the behavior and see what happend, thank a lot =)

by the way, 172.16.16.2 is the publisher

and the link is great, thanks.

If Java or Bill could pipe in on this it would be helpful, but I have always make the primary subscriber as identifier 1 and the publisher as the last option since the subscribers are handling the call processing and the transcoder is registered with the subscriber. Might want to make that change as well unless the others would recommend otherwise. And with other servers configured make sure you configure your failback and switchover methods for them.

This is mine and seems to work fine.

sccp local FastEthernet0/0
sccp ccm 162.57.218.13 identifier 1 version 7.0

yeah, thank´s again for the recomendation, i will configure to point the subscriber and then publisher.

thank you for ur help.
