They are located on site with CUCM, so they are configured as MGCP gateways. However, we are standing up a lot of other sites. So I am thinking about switching these circuits to 2 10mb SIP circuits. I would have increased call capacity and I could also work with the Telco to re-route calls destined to remote sites if their SIP circuit goes down to these circuits at the main office. That's just something not offered with old PRI circuits, or at least no provider I've worked with has offered that with old PRI. Then if I go with SIP, what's the best configuration in CUCM? I haven't worked much with SIP circuits, but the ones I have worked with, the gateway was just an h.323 GW in CUCM. Could it be added as a different type that would register with CUCM or is h.323 the best way to go?<br><br>Appreciate any inputs...<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Bill Hendrix <br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:matthn@gmail.com">matthn@gmail.com</a> <a href="mailto:[mailto:matthn@gmail.com]">[mailto:matthn@gmail.com]</a> On Behalf Of Nick Matthews <br>Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2012 10:17 PM<br>To: Adel Abushaev<br>Cc: Hendrix, George (Bill) @ LSG - STRATIS; <a href="mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net">cisco-voip@puck.nether.net</a> <br>Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] CUCM SIP To PSTN<br><br>The scenario of:<br>CUCM--SIP--GW--SIP--Provider<br><br>The gateway magically turns into a CUBE, and there's a whole bunch of marketing and technical information on what happens when you do that.<br><br>If you compare these two solutions:<br>-CUCM direct SIP trunk to provider<br>-Use MTP to keep media to a single IP<br>-Or use NAT to keep internal addressing safe or -Use CUBE<br><br>There's a whole bunch of scalability and troubleshooting problems that can arise from the first.
