<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Barry, if you have the q931 debug from when the error occurred, and if you are able to share it, that may help shed light on the error. The mandatory IE missing issue is an ISDN protocol error where the CUCM and telco switch are in disagreement about something. It is sometimes possible to determine which IE is missing from the debug of the entire failed call.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">TAC may be able to provide help as well, if you can provide that debug for them.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 3:53 PM, Barry Howser <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bhowser5050@gmail.com" target="_blank">bhowser5050@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Wes.

you say MGCP.. if using MGCP and d-channel bachaul then it is CCM’s ISDN stack in use. Where did you see the error “mandatory IE missing?” if it was with debugs on the gateway then it may have been generated by the gateway’s ISDN stack.<br>
<br>
each isdn ‘switch type’ has subtle nuances in implementation. the right answer really depends on what physical equipment the telco is using as well as how they have the d-ch provisioned on their end.<br>
<br>
it could be the telco changed config. or they might have upgraded the switch. or you may have started using a different call flow that added/removed IE’s.<br>
<br>
also possible that a lingering reset/restart was not applied on the UCM side (CSCtw80866 Reset Required flag in CCMAdmin for any device/trunk that has been )<br>

So I've had an MGCP/T1 gateway up and running with CCM, happy as a clam for several weeks.<br>
<br>
Then all of the sudden today it stopped passing inbound communication. Egress works just fine, but ingress rings once then a fast busy.<br>
<br>
In the ISDN logs I get "mandatory information element missing".<br>
<br>
I am using; EF, BZ8S, Primary-ni (which is telco settings). Again everything WAS fine. After some research I found that error to mean that the CCM side kicked the call back to the gateway because it didn't get everything it needed in the header.<br>
<br>
A proposed suggestion was to use a different switch-type. So in the CCM/Gateway/PRI config page, I changed the switch type to PRI-4ESS -> Saved/Applied/Reset (then restarted mgcp on the gateway) and presto, ingress is now working.<br>
<br>
If I reverse the process and go back to the Primary-ni in the CCM/Gateway/PRI config, I get the same problem with ingress again.<br>
<br>
Can anyone explain this to me? Does it sound like my telco changed something? Seems like something with MGCP is goofed right? Is this something that a telco would just arbitrarily change?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
