[cisco-voip] H323 vs MGCP

[Etts, Russell]

Hi Bill
 
Thank you so much for your answer!  I just want to be clear on this - if
I use H323, I'm not hurting anything, but I get better monitoring with
MGCP.  The reason I'm asking is this:
 
We had an H323 enabled before and everything seemed to be working
properly.  I enabled MGCP and now nothing works - the calls just get
kicked back to the operator at the remote location.  I think this might
be a configuration issue with the remote PBX, but I can't be sure.
 
Thanks
 
Russ

Usually more feature available with H323 (CallerID), but MGCP is managed
via CallManager.  Because CCM manages calls to the MGCP gateway, you get
better monitoring statistics (current # of Calls, channels in use,
etc.).
 
My rule of thumb is, use MGCP when you can, H323 when you have to.

	Hi everyone 

	I'm in the process of setting up a CCM (4.1) and 2801s.  What is
the advantage/ disadvantage between using a trunk between the CCM and
the 2801 (uses MGCP) and a regular H323 gateway?

	Thanks
