how to limit number of outbound calls with mgcp gw?

[m.radulovic]

does anyone has a solution how to limit number of outgoing calls on mgcp gateway (2611 with 1 x PRI)? we are using same PRI for inbound calls to call center (IPCC Express) and for outbound calls for corporate users, and when number of outbound calls are big incoming calls can not reach call center.

regards,

I know the procedure for H.323 and not for MGCP where the signalling is backhauled and it is as follows. Trunk groups can be used to restrict the number of out going/incoming calls on any trunk. This feature enables fine control for controlling number of outgoing calls or the number of incoming calls/blocking calls with certain number pattern/grouping multiple t1/e1 into a trunk group having same characterstics etc. See following URL for details
