Which PVDM2 ?

amarula115 · ‎11-23-2010

I have Cisco 2811 as a Voice Gateway for 6 IP phones. It has right now PVDM2-16 installed

Is it enough for 6 phones to have SRST or I need upgrade it to PVDM2-32? (which is suggested by our consultant)

I would appreciate your help

IP phones don't require DSP resources to work. DSP resources are only needed for analog/TDM endpoints or media resources (transcoding/MTP/conference). Is the gateway using any FXO, FXS, T1/E1 cards? That will determine how many DSPs/PVDMs are needed.

Here is how my consultant explained me an issue (SRST is not working properly):

"If you check the DSP farm, it not allowing to setup conf. And transcoder. Still in shutdown mode. Due to low dsp.
If add another 16 then you will get 12,to 16 channels in codecs"

He suggest to upgrade PVDM2-16 to PVDM-32 to fix this issue.

Is he correct?

When the gateway and phones are in SRST mode, media resources will not be accessible as they will unregister from the CUCM node as well. They will not register to the SRST gateway as the phones do. To confirm, the actual problem is that inbound/outbound calls are failing while in SRST mode, correct?

Are the IP phones registering to the SRST router? Can they call between themselves?

If the problem description is not accurate, can you provide us wit the correct one?

Maybe I should explain an initial problem:

When IP phones loose connection to Call Manager they should be able to fallback to SRST and be able to dial and to receive calls. It is not happening right now. Our consultant explained to me that this is because there are not enough DSP resources and suggested to upgrade PVDM2-16 to PVDM2-32

dksingh · ‎11-23-2010

What is not happening?

IP phones not able to register with SRST router when CCM/WAN goes down ?

OR

Phones register fine but are unable to call external ?

Phone falling back to SRST router has nothing to do with DSP/PVDM.

You shd be able to make internal calls between the ip phones without

any DSP in the box. Assuming in normal/SRST mode, all calls work,

I don't see how it could be DSP related?

Since this is MGCP GW, you'd need to add following so that default app takes

over when mgcapp goes down:

application

global
service alternate Default

Phones fall to SRST. It shows on the phone screen. IP phones can call themselves and they can call outside to PSTN but they cannot receive call from PSTN while in SRST mode

Felipe Garrido · ‎11-23-2010

It may be a DID issue. What are the extensions on the phones? Do they match what the telco is sending? Can you collect the following debugs for an inbound call while in SRST.

debug isdn q931

debug voip ccapi inout

Also, collect the following command output for when the phones are registered to the SRST gateway.
