on BCM Rel4.0 inbound h.323 trunking not possible

[LJDirk]

Hi,

i have here BCM400 with Rel4.0 & H.323 Trunks to a xCAPI H.323 Device (non Nortel Equipment)

On the BCM i have build a Route (Puplic) and a Gateway Endpoint to the xCAPI. A Call to the xCAPI (ext. -7131) is working. It rings and i can speak - fine.

On the xCAPI i have also build a Trunk to the BCM but i can make no calls to the BCM. In the xCAPI Trace i can see, that the BCM say it is a "invalid Number format" -> see the Trace below on the right side.

called Ext. -551 (with Numbering Plan: ISDN) is the # on BCM and calling Ext. -7131 is the # on xCAPI:

called Ext. -551 (with Numbering Plan: unknown) is the # on BCM and calling Ext. -7131 is the # on xCAPI:

Here the Message:

I mine with "unknown Number Format" it must work. Why won´t work and the BCM say "invalid number format"??

Thx for help.

Try running BCM monitor and see what the inbound digits and messages are.

Hi,

in the Line Monitor i can not see anything for a incomming call on VoIP Lines.

 

[MagnaRGP]

Use the UIP moniton and enable the MCDN over IP tab. this will allow you to watch the setup and tear down messages on the IP trunks.

Hi again,

i don´t use MCDN. Only H.323 to a H.323 Device - no Nortel Device. The Protocol for the Gateway Endpoint is "other" and Gateway Endpoint is also "other".

Hi,

can anybody help me?

Have you followed MagnaRGP's advice? I have watched IP trunks through BCM Monitor. They are trying to help.

Hi,

i´ve use the Monitor, but i can see nothing. Sorry. No Messages in the UIP Logging Window.

I'm not sure about this. Never tried a non-Nortel device.

I presume you set up the inbound target lines for the BCM. Have you tried to send the call from the X-capi-thingy as a private call, rather than a public?

 

[LJDirk]

Hi,

yes - i´ve assign the TargetLine.
At the moment only puplic can i send. I´ve ask the Support from the xCAPI, but no answer yet.

 

[LJDirk]

Hi,

xCAPI support say at the moment: only Puplic can send.
the other thing in the BCM Monitor only the call from BCM to xCAPI can i see:

from xCAPI to BCM i can not see anything in the BCM Monitor. Any Help?

Hi,

i´va now install another H.323 Client - called "Egika" - an my notebook and here i can make a call from the non Nortel Client "Egika" to the BCM very easily.

here are the Wireshark Traces from the H.225 setup - hopefully anybody can help me - thx.

Hi,

now i know, that the Ekiga Client beginn a connection with "fastStart" and the BCM accepted this.
The xCAPI make "only" a normal H.225 setup - no "fastStart".

can anybody say, where can i programm the BCM, that he accepted the normal setup method? THX
