[cisco-voip] Initial AA Config Problems with CME

[Mark Borchers]

I'd be grateful for pointers to get AA working in the architecture
described below.

We have a voice T1 coming into a CME (3.3) router at a parent site,
which I'll refer to as CME-main.  Call forwarding is currently 
configured and working to allow a remote site, also running CME,
to make inbound and outbound calls on the T1.

I configured AA on CME-remote with unsuccessful results:
- When making an inbound test call to CME-remote, I don't hear the 
AA welcome message, nor does the dial-by-extension option work.
- However, I can press the appropriate phone button and access
a hunt group on CME-remote.  These two observations made me think
that the queue service was starting but not the aa service.
- However, when I show application sessions during the test call,
I observe that the aa service *did* start.

Since the T1 terminates on CME-main, I have the dial-peer session
target for the aa service mapped to loopback.  Maybe somebody can
confirm if this is correct.  Any other light anyone can shed based
on a similar architecture would be appreciated.

TIA,
Mark
