[cisco-voip] Media Termination Point

[Michael Thompson]

Look at the MTP as a logical relay point of the call flow.  Kind of like
what a repeater used to do in coax based Ethernet.  In an H.323 gateway, it
puts the software MTP of UCM in the middle of the audio stream between the
phone end point and the H.323 gateway.

I have CCM 4.1.  In another building, connected by fiber, I have a 2801
configured as H.323
In CCM, the checkbox "Media Termination Point Required" was checked (on).
After some work with my VAR, I noticed he turned it off.
What does it do?  The H.323 box seems sort of "self-standing", in that it
has 8 POTS lines coming in to it, so I am not sure how much the
2801 communicates with CCM.

Any ideas?  Why WOULD I have that setting ON?  I am reading through the
Cisco docs, but they are not that clear....

Thanks anyone!
