[cisco-voip] Router to Dial POTS line

Fri May 15 10:05:05 EDT 2009

Thanks Jim.

This is exactly our setup here, and I too was using my cell to
test/troubleshoot.  This was very helpful as was everyone else's help.

In the end, it was the CM config, and I've got everything working now.
It was Paul's initial response that set me on the right track.  On the
gateway, it was a mere typo in the name of the router.  As you surely
know, that meant CM couldn't find the device nor register it.  Too bad
my typo wasn't in a description field :-)  I would have eventually
realized what was broken, but really I SHOULD have noticed right away
that the GW wasn't registered.

Still, it got me looking at the router, and I learned a few things, and
thanks to Peter learned why I couldn't get the router to call.  I might
have succeeded even there if the port had not been MGCP controlled.

All this pretty basic stuff, I know, but I'm pleased.  And again really
appreciate all the excellent help.

Thanks

Jeff

Jeff,
We do the same thing at several of our smaller locations.  Since they
are in the same local calling area as one of the larger locations in
that same area, we just have the smaller location generate dialtone off
the PRI at the larger location.  However, we have to make certain if
they dial 911 that they get a local dispatch center.  Below is a copy of
the router configuration for that portion of the setup as well as some
screen snapshots of the setup in Call Manager.  I usually use my cell
phone number to test all of this and then change things in the Route
Pattern Configuration and on the router dial peer back to the 911 setup
once I know it works.  We also use these lines for their fax line so
that's why the ring number is set to 10 on the voice port.  Also, I
configure two (2) gateways for each of these outlying locations.  One
with the loopback ethernet address for everything else and one with the
main ethernet address for the 911 access.  Hope some of this helps.

I'm fairly new to the backend of CM and really new to routers, so that

Maybe CM is the place to start; I just thought I would try dialing with
the router.  Dest-pattern is open so I can call other numbers.  I don't
want to chance calling 911 while I'm stumbling around.

I'll have a look at the CM side; I was just interested in learning how
to dial out with the router.  I suppose it is a CM problem though.

Thanks

What else have you tried? Are you sure the port is properly registered
to CCM? If you're only using it for 911 why would you set the dial-peer
up to dial anything under the sun? Use destination-pattern 911 or 9911.
If the port is registered, are you sure you put it in the correct CSS?

Greetings,

We have an analog line here which I'm setting up for
911 dialing.

The line itself works as I can call out with a buttset just
fine.  We have everything configured on the router and in Call Manager.
But
it doesn't work; we get a fast busy.  I want to see if my problem is
the router config or CM, so I'm trying to place a call from the router
thinking that would rule out the router config.

I've got the analog line plugged into the 0 port in
the FXO card.  I put "destination-pattern 9T" on the dial-peer
as it was part of some example I found in a cisco doc for dialing out
from a
router.  The rest of the configs match a config from another site.

voice-port 0/1/0
 timeouts call-disconnect 5
 timeouts wait-release 5
 timing hookflash-out 500
 description 911 Dialing

dial-peer voice 999010 pots
 service mgcpapp
 destination-pattern 9T
 port 0/1/0

Anyway, I get this when I place a call:

Router#csim start 95555555
csim: called number = 95555555, loop count = 1 ping count =
0

csim err:csim_do_test invalid major major(16) minor(0)
csim: loop = 1, failed = 0
csim: call attempted = 1, setup failed = 0, tone failed = 0

Any insight out there?

Thanks
jeff
