[cisco-voip] H.323 vs MGCP

[Kris Seraphine]

If you have any analog DID trunks or fractional PRIs you'll want to
stay H.323.  Those are not support as MGCP in CM.

If you decide to convert, take into consideration your digit discard
settings on the route lists.  Likely you are currently passing the
prefix digit to the gateway.  If you convert to MGCP you'll want to
strip it on the route list.

Personally, I prefer H.323 for remote site PSTN trunks when SRST is
involved.  It's much less buggy more flexible and easier to
troubleshoot.  If you use MGCP you still have to configure H.323 for
fallback so you gain very little.
