color=#0000ff size=2>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:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=971384017-30112005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>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.).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=403442717-30112005><FONT face=Tahoma
size=2>My rule of thumb is, use MGCP when you can, H323 when you have
to.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></P>
