thank you for responding. point taken. I have a cs1k located in the USA, release 7.5, version 4221. I have a SIP Media Gateway installed in Mexico City. We have two standard E1's installed. When you make a call out, either to a cell or back into the pbx via DID, we do not hear any ringing. We might get one beep in 15 seconds before the call goes to voicemail. When you call into a DID from a cell phone we get the same results. We installed a new E1 for testing. both existing E1 and the new E1 give the same results. Been searching through documents looking for a parameter we configured incorrectly for E1 in Mexico City.
