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>

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>
