H.323 VOIP Trunk Config

[Scottmanoh]

Hi,
I have an R1 BCM50 and an R6 BCM50 on the same LAN. The R6 is in HQ and the R1 is remote via fiber (same subnet).

The remote office has a fax machine and we are thinking that we can use H.323 trunking to make it work.

So I have a couple questions:
#1 is it possible to configure and use H.323 trunking between R1 and R6 BCMs on the same LAN.

#2 I would appreciate any detailed guidance on how to get it working properly. When a call comes in on 9593, we want it to route over H.323 to the Remote BCM and ring on the fax there. Two of us have been working on this for a few days now and we just can't get it going.
We get 4 digits from the PRI, DN's are 3 digits. Keycodes for trunks and sets are all in place.

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
Scott

Are these 2 systems able to dial each other via intercoms? I would upgrade that 1.0 to at least 3.0 asap reguardless. If you don't have site to site dialing set up then you have to do that first to get what you want to work. I'd also change that dn length to 4, I never set up multi sites with 3 digits dns.

the cleanest way to private network these two systems together using H.323 would be to make sure the leading digits of the two systems are different (one system is 3221, the other is 2221, for example).

That way the destination digit that is the index for the CDP dialing plan between the system is the leading digit (3 & 2). Also, Nortel recommended using MCDN which is a license you purchase for private networking. You would also build routes and destination codes pointing to each system along with a private dialing plan.

You could do all this and I'm still not sure that you would pass fax tones across your IP Network because I'm not sure that H.323 supports the T.38 faxing protocols to fax across a network.

To add to Crowtalks, Yes T.38 do work across Nortel H323, just make sure to install all the latest patches on both systems.
