Multicast MoH is not supported with MTPs or transcoders. CCM<br>
probably allocated a unicast stream for your MTP. when you placed the<br>
PSTN leg of the call on hold and were usign an MTP, you got around<br>
whatever was causing your Multicast MoH not to work by causing CCM to<br>
use unicast. silence on hold indicates that the multicast RTP wasn't<br>
makign it to the destination gateway, or that there was a<br>
configuration problem on that gateway.<br>
