Peeps,

I am doing diagnostics on the following issue, the BRI interface on a 2900 series router is backhauled using MGCP. what I am seeing, is that the BRI enpoint in CUCM changes to "UNREGISTERED", causing outbound calls to fail. In those events, when looking at the actual BRI interface on the gateway itself. Layer1 is deactivated.However, layer 1 (and thus Layer 2) can be re-established by making an inbound call.  Which also re-registers the BRI end point on CUCM.  the alers we receive happen during nighttime, wich leads me to believe a time expires, either on the gateway end, or on the Telco end, bringing Layer 1 down.  My question is, is there any such thing, like a keepalive that can be sent from the gateway to the NTU (Telco), to keep the circuit up? (I know, I can set up some sort of outbound autodialer, but really this should work). I am not seeing this behaviour on any of our other locations here in Australia.
