Introduction
Interoperability between the old world TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) networks and the new world packet networks is an essential part of the technology adoption life cycle for packet networks. This release of the Cisco PGW 2200 PSTN Gateway extends its capability to provide the bridge between the legacy public switched telephone network (PSTN) and next-generation packet networks - supporting centralized call control and intelligent routing for both TDM-based interfaces (SS7, PRI, QSIG, and DPNSS endpoints) and IP-based interfaces (SIP and H.323 endpoints).
The Cisco PGW 2200 provides a consistent and unified interconnection that supports Cisco's Voice infrastructure and Applications (VIA) applications (Dial and Voice transit), Cisco's Business Voice Services applications (Hosted or Managed IP Telephony), and Cisco's Broadband Residential Voice applications (ETTx). The PGW 2200 allows service providers to deploy and operate multiple network solutions while maintaining a stable interconnection to the PSTN.
Platform Support
For a list of supported platforms refer to the following documents:
•Cisco Media Gateway Controller Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1, Table 1-1, Cisco MGC Host Configurations, at the following url:•Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide
(Chapter 1) at the following url:Software Required
For a list of required software, refer to Chapter 1 of the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide at the following url:
Required Swap Space
For the Cisco MGC software, you need to partition 4 GB of swap space. Setting swap space at installation is recommended; however, you can change swap space at a later date by adding a swap file or repartitioning the swap space using the format menu (for example, reassigning how many cylinders are in each partition). The swap space requirement is determined by the amount of traffic. As traffic increases, you should use the top command in UNIX to see how much swap space is being used; you should then decide if more is needed. You can use the MML command rtrv-ne-health to obtain information from the UNIX top from within MML.
Host Hardware Requirements
Host Minimum Server Requirements
Refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Hardware Installation Guide for the host minimum hardware requirements. Before using the minimum hardware configuration, consult with your Cisco representative to determine the hardware that will give you the best performance results based on your network configuration, proposed traffic, and desired processing power.
Media Gateway Hardware Requirements
Table 1 lists URLs for release notes that document media gateways.
Local Area Network Switch
Your application might use one or more local area network (LAN) switches from the Cisco Catalyst Switch family to connect the Cisco MGC host to the MGWs and to the Cisco SLTs.
Note User documentation refers to the Cisco Catalyst 5500 switch family (NEBS-compliant). The Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL is another NEBS-compliant LAN switch that can be used for a small configuration, but current MGC user documentation does not address the Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL. Refer to the Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL documentation for information about this switch.
Note A LAN switch is not provided with the Cisco MGC.
Supported Features
The features listed in Table 2 were inherited from earlier releases of the Cisco MGC Software, and are still supported in Release 9.5(2).

Installation Notes
This section contains information and procedures you can use to remove, upgrade, or install the Cisco MGC software. It also contains information about software patches.
Acquiring the Software
The Cisco MGC software is provided to customers on CD. Before installing the software, check the Solution release notes and the web for the most current patch level. If the information on the CD matches the information provided on the web and in the Solution release notes, the software and patch information can be installed directly from the CD.
Complete the following procedure to obtain software patches from CCO:
Step 1 From the Cisco Connection Online page, select the Software Center link (located under Service and Support).
The Technical Assistance Center page displays.
Step 2 From the Technical Assistance Center page, select the Voice Software link (located under Software Products and Downloads).
The Voice Software page displays.
Step 3 From the Voice Software page, select the Login option (located across the top of the page).
A login box displays.
Step 4 Enter your CCO user name and password then press OK.
After authentication the Voice Software page displays.
Step 5 Select the link for the desired software release. Software release links are located under the Cisco Media Gateway Controller heading.
Installing and Upgrading the Software
Warning Before upgrading from a current version of Software Release 9 to a higher level, you must verify software release version compatibility by contacting Cisco TAC (see Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines) or your Cisco account representative. Software release version incompatibility may cause service disruption.
If you are installing software Release 9.5(2) for the first time, refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions.
Note In the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide, observe the following change: In the "Configuring SNMP Support Resources" sections, SNMP MIB measurements are valid only on the active node. They are not replicated to the standby node.
Caution When upgrading a redundant system, verify that the pom.dataSync parameter (located in /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/XECfgParm.dat) is set to false to maintain calls and preserve your configuration.
Caution No validation is performed on the IDs you enter. If you enter an invalid ID, the utilities package does not add any accounts.
Tip If you have trouble installing the utilities package, make sure that you do not still have a transpath group in your group file (located in /etc).
Software Patches
Patches are located in the following directory:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/mgc-952
The protocol packaging has been improved so that you need only load and install protocols that you need. Previously, the entire protocol suite was packaged and delivered together. With the improved packaging protocol:
•The standard installation script allows you to specify which protocol set(s) are required on your platform.
•Only packages containing the desired protocols are installed as part of the standard installation.
The same number of packages available with the initial release still exists; however, they have a new nomenclature that is required to support patching later in the release life cycle and you have the option to install only the packages containing required protocols.
The protocol packages are labeled CSCOnnvvv:
nn—indicates the specific protocols you need for your environment
vvv—indicates the version level of the patch
For example, at the time of the release you are given protocol patch CSCO01000.pkg. The 01 indicates a specific protocol applicable to your environment; 000 indicates the revision level. The next time a set of protocol patches are built, the 000 is incremented by 1 (001).
Note You must always install the 00 protocol package when upgrading a protocol patch level. If the 00 protocol package is not installed, the upgrade attempt fails. The Protocol file missing alarm displays.
Use the patch script (new shell script provided with the standard installation) located in your /opt/SW directory (created during the initial base software installation) to confirm which patch packages you need to install (using the patch status command), and then copy these packages into your local directory (/opt/SW)from the release directory where you can use the script to install the patches.
The installation script requires one of the following options:
•Option 1—patch status retrieves the status of the system. Use this option to determine which set of protocol packages are currently installed on your system. The installed protocol packages are required (must be downloaded) to update the software. The exception is if you need a new protocol that was not previously delivered. In this case, you need to download an extra package (the package that the new protocol is delivered in).
•Option 2—patch all automatically searches the local directory (/opt/SW) and the installed system to determine the most recent available patch and automatically updates the system with that patch level. This applies to protocol and system patches. All uninstall and install activities are handled by the script. The command for this is:patch all. The all command does not require a second argument.
•Option 3—patch system [latest |<alternate patch number>] specifies the exact patch level for system patches you choose to install on the system. You can specify any available patch level to be installed. All uninstall and install activities are handled by this script. This option requires one of the following arguments:
–latest —installs the most recently downloaded patch. This argument should be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
–<number> —indicates the patch number <vvv> that you want to install. This argument should be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
•Option 4—patch protocol [latest |<alternate patch number>] specifies the exact patch level for protocol patches you choose to install on the system. You can specify any available patch level to be installed. All uninstall and install activities are handled by this script. This option requires one of the following arguments:
–latest —installs the most recently downloaded patch. This argument should be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
–<number> —indicates the patch number <vvv> that you want to install. This argument should be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
The following is sample output of option 2, patch all which automatically searches the local directory and the installed system to determine the most recent available patch located in /opt/SW (protocol and system) and automatically updates the system with that patch level.

System Level Equivalency
Table 3 provides the system level equivalency for each protocol patch. For example, after installing CSCOnn001, release 9.5(2) is equivalent to release 9.4(1) patch level CSCOnn009 (contains all patches and features included in release 9.4(1) up to patch CSCOnn009).
Note Automatic propagation of issues is only supported for later releases. The equivalency level between releases assists you in determining when fixes in earlier releases have been propagated into the target release. Automatic backward propagation of issues is not supported.
Table 4 provides the system level equivalency for each system patch. For example, after installing CSCOgs001, release 9.3(2) is equivalent to release 9.3(2) patch level CSCOgs009 (contains all patches and features included in release 9.3(2) up to patch CSCOgs009).
Note Automatic propagation of issues is only supported for later releases. The equivalency level between releases assists you in determining when fixes in earlier releases have been propagated into the target release. Automatic backward propagation of issues is not supported.
Patch Test Combinations
Table 5 provides a list of the patch combinations that were used when testing. Use this list to determine which protocol and system patches should be installed before you run the MGC software. It does not matter which patch (protocol or software) is installed first.
CSCOnn066
Caution The patch install script might have been updated. If it has been updated, you must copy the script (patch) from http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/mgc-952 to your /opt/SW directory before installing the patches.
Caution Users upgrading from release 9.4(1) with a patch level greater than CSCOgs028 to release 9.5(2) must install patch CSCOgs10 or greater for proper SNMP functionality. For more information refer to Chapter 6, Upgrading the Cisco MGC Software in the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide:

After upgrading from 9.4(1) to 9.5(2), the existing /opt/CiscoMGC/snmp/snmpd.cnf is overwritten with a default file (the existing snmp entries in the snmpd.cnf file are automatically copied to snmpd.cnf.custorig). Since a new default snmpd.cnf replaces the original snmpd.cnf file, the snmp functionality no longer works as expected. After upgrading to any 9 release, you must manually restore the original snmp functionality, immediately after upgrading and prior to starting the PGW software. For more information, refer to snmp.cnf File is Overwritten When Updating to New Release 9 in the Known Issues and Operational Recommendations section of this document.

Protocol patch CSCOnn046 resolves the following caveat numbers:
This patch provides updates all protocols.
Additional information:
•Refer to the Patch Test Combinations section of this document to determine which protocol and system patches are needed.
•CSCeg39985—SIP to MGCP T.38 Fax Fallback to Pass-through and Voice—The SIP To MGCP T.38 Fax Fallback to Pass-through and Voice feature provides support on the Cisco MGC 2200 of T.38 FAX calls in the event a T.38 fax setup on a SIP call fails due to lack of T.38 fax support on a SIP endpoint, such as the Cisco SIP Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA). Further, after the fax call is completed, the MGC is able to fallback to a voice call, if the original call event was voice.
This feature provides the following:
When the MGC receives a T.38 Fax indication fax from an MGCP gateway, it initiates Re-Invite with SDP indicating T.38 attributes to the SIP endpoint, which returns a 488 message because the endpoint does not support T.38. The MGC modifies the connection at the MGCP gateway to up speed to G.711 (for example, "L: e:off,s:off;a:G.711a") if the audio channel is not set for G.711.
The upspeed capability applies to both SIP-initiated fax or SS7/ISDN-side initiated fax calls.
After the fax call is completed, the call configuration falls back to voice with the original audio codec, if the original call event was a voice call.
Note Fallback to passthrough after failed T.38 Faxes dependent on IOS release 12.4.(5a); Fallback to voice after successful T.38 Fax is dependent on IOS release 12.4(7a).
Note For more information, see SIP to MGCP T.38 Fax Fallback to Pass-through and Voice in the New Features in This Release section of this document.
•CSCsd03592—CLI Handling for Mexican ISUP—this featurette modifies the Calling Line Identifier (CLI) handling in Mexican ISUP to allow for call completion when the CLI is requested using Information Request (INR) and Information Message (INF), but is not provided by the originating switch.
Currently the PGW can be provisioned with "CLI Essential" sigpath property *.CLIPEss (values 0 or 1). Setting the value to 1 causes the PGW to request the CLI (INR) if the CLI is not already present, and expect a response (INR). Previously, if the PGW did not receive a CLI in response, it dropped the call. Now, if the PGW does not receive a response it continues the call.
The values of *.CLIPEss have been modified:
–0—Do not request CLI.
–1—Request CLI if not already provided. Drop the call if CLI is not provided.
–2—Request CLI if not already provided. Continue the call even if CLI is not provided.
Note After the patch has been applied and you want to use config-lib to revert to a saved configuration, you must manually copy the 'propSet.xml.dat' files from the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/new directory to the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/ and to /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/active_link directory and then start the PGW.
Note This change will be made generic for all variants that support the *.CLIPEss parameter ( not just for Q767_MEXICAN).
Note For more information, see CLI Handling for Mexican ISUP in the New Features in This Release section of this document.

•CSCeg39985—SIP to MGCP T.38 Fax Fallback to Pass-through and Voice—The SIP To MGCP T.38 Fax Fallback to Pass-through and Voice feature provides support on the Cisco MGC 2200 of T.38 FAX calls in the event a T.38 fax setup on a SIP call fails due to lack of T.38 fax support on a SIP endpoint, such as the Cisco SIP Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA). Further, after the fax call is completed, the MGC is able to fallback to a voice call, if the original call event was voice.
This feature provides the following:
When the MGC receives a T.38 Fax indication fax from an MGCP gateway, it initiates Re-Invite with SDP indicating T.38 attributes to the SIP endpoint, which returns a 488 message because the endpoint does not support T.38. The MGC modifies the connection at the MGCP gateway to up speed to G.711 (for example, "L: e:off,s:off;a:G.711a") if the audio channel is not set for G.711.
The upspeed capability applies to both SIP-initiated fax or SS7/ISDN-side initiated fax calls.
After the fax call is completed, the call configuration falls back to voice with the original audio codec, if the original call event was a voice call.
Note Fallback to passthrough after failed T.38 Faxes dependent on IOS release 12.4.(5a); Fallback to voice after successful T.38 Fax is dependent on IOS release 12.4(7a).
Note For more information, see SIP to MGCP T.38 Fax Fallback to Pass-through and Voice in the New Features in This Release section of this document.
•CSCsd03592—CLI Handling for Mexican ISUP—this featurette modifies the Calling Line Identifier (CLI) handling in Mexican ISUP to allow for call completion when the CLI is requested using Information Request (INR) and Information Message (INF), but is not provided by the originating switch.
Currently the PGW can be provisioned with "CLI Essential" sigpath property *.CLIPEss (values 0 or 1). Setting the value to 1 causes the PGW to request the CLI (INR) if the CLI is not already present, and expect a response (INR). Previously, if the PGW did not receive a CLI in response, it dropped the call. Now, if the PGW does not receive a response it continues the call.
The values of *.CLIPEss have been modified as follows:
–0—Do not request CLI.
–1—Request CLI if not already provided. Drop the call if CLI is not provided.
–2—Request CLI if not already provided. Continue the call even if CLI is not provided.
Note This change will be made generic for all variants that support the *.CLIPEss parameter ( not just for Q767_MEXICAN).
Note For more information, see CLI Handling for Mexican ISUP in the New Features in This Release section of this document.

•CSCsa60241—SIP Remote Party ID Support—this featurette provides support on the Cisco MGC of the ISUP-to-SIP mapping of CLI to SIP Remote Party ID or P-Asserted ID header. It also updates the generic handling of the SIP-to-ISUP and ISUP-to-SIP mapping of calling line identity, generic number, and redirecting number.
This featurette:
–Supports the ISUP-to-SIP mapping of CLI to SIP Remote Party ID or P-Asserted
–Updates the generic handling of the SIP-to-ISUP and ISUP-to-SIP mapping of calling line identity, generic number, and redirecting number.
–Although ISUP-to-SIP is the primary focus, mapping also works for calls from Q.931, QSIG, DPNSS, and H.323 to SIP. The MGC 2200 supports mapping the CLI into the SIP FROM Header, and optionally into the SIP Remote Party ID Header or the P-Asserted-ID on an outgoing SIP trunk group basis.
–Provides CLI Information for the Call Diversion or Redirection Information
–With the addition of support for the SIGTRAN protocols IUA and SCTP, the Cisco PGW 2200 can now use standard protocols for communication with the media gateways.

–false (default)—keeps the existing behavior that runs a dependency check and deletes the whole dial plan file from the configuration set.
–true—cleans all dial plan sections except the service and dpselection section of the dial plan.

New Features in This Release
Validate and Support PRI Backup-D Channel in Call Control Mode
This change request (CSCsd93624) used the following requirements for testing and validation:
•ability to provision two D channels, one primary and one backup, for all the NFAS groups in the system.
•NFAS interface can either be T1 or E1, but not a mixture of T1 or E1 on the same NFAS interface.
•validate maximum supported NFAS spans, which is 16.
•validate the ability to support mixture of FAS, NFAS and NFAS with Backup D simultaneously.
•validate manual switchover using mml command.
•validate the ability to take a D channel M-OOS, but reject taking D channel M-OOS if other D channel is already M-OOS.
•validate PRI Backup-D channel forMGX8880 with VXSM card and AS5000 (AS5850) voice gateways.
Note This feature was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn055/CSCOgs062.
New Property Added For Support Multiple Addresses in SIP Header
This feature (CSCsd80497) adds a new property, SipRedirAnalysisMethod, for the Support Multiple IP Addresses in the SIP Header feature. It defines how the PGW handles the SIP redirection target.
Valid values are:
•0— (default) Conditional analysis, only analyze the target whose domain matches the PGW's domain.
•1—Always analyze.
•2—Never analyze; this was the implementation method prior to this feature being implemented.
Note This feature was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn052/CSCOgs059.
Support for Gateway Ring-Back Tone Over MGCP
This feature (CSCsd03635) adds gateway ring-back tone over MGCP protocol support for MGCP controlled media gateway calls destined for PBXs that do not generate ring-back tones.
Previously, the PGW supported local ring-back tones for MGCP to IP calls (including MGCP to SIP calls and MGCP to EISUP calls). For MGCP to SIP call, the PGW always requests ring-back tones via MGCP MDCX messages if no SDP information was received in the 180/183 response. For MGCP to EISUP calls, the existing trunkgroup property, GatewayRBToneSupport, is used. Valid values for GatewayRBToneSupport are:
•0—no local ring-back tone support
•1—local ring-back tone supported for MGCP to EISUP calls by MDCX message
•2— local ring-back tone supported for MGCP to EISUP calls by RQNT message
Similar functionality will be extended to the MGCP to MGCP call. The existing property, GatewayRBToneSupport will be enhanced to add the following options:
•3—local ring-back tone supported for MGCP to EISUP calls and MGCP to MGCP calls by MDCX message
•4—local ring-back tone supported for MGCP to MGCP calls only by MDCX messages
For hairpin calls (originating and terminating on the same IOS gateway) MDCX is not accepted by IOS gateway. The hairpin call function will be disabled for the trunkgroup if the GatewayRBToneSupport parameter is set to 3 or 4. All calls will be treated as non hairpin calls and request a ring-back tone. Hairpin call benefits of saving DSP and other resources on gateway will be lost.
Note This feature is not designed to handle MGCP to MGCP calls where the originating leg and terminating leg are on different PGW pairs (does not support calls transported over EISUP). The reference to EISUP is for EISUP—H323 only.
Note This feature was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn051/CSCOgs058.
Support of R-ISUP2000 Variant
This feature implements the ISUP-R-2000 variants to support Russian and other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) (former Soviet Union) users.
Note This feature was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn051/CSCOgs058.
SIP to MGCP T.38 Fax Fallback to Pass-through and Voice
This featurette (CSCeg39985) provides support on the Cisco MGC 2200 of T.38 FAX calls in the event a T.38 fax setup on a SIP call fails due to lack of T.38 fax support on a SIP endpoint, such as the Cisco SIP Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA). Further, after the fax call is completed, the MGC is able to fallback to a voice call, if the original call event was voice.
It provides the following:
When the MGC receives a T.38 Fax indication fax from an MGCP gateway, it initiates Re-Invite with SDP indicating T.38 attributes to the SIP endpoint, which returns a 488 message because the endpoint does not support T.38. The MGC modifies the connection at the MGCP gateway to up speed to G.711 (for example, "L: e:off,s:off;a:G.711a") if the audio channel is not set for G.711.
The upspeed capability applies to both SIP-initiated fax or SS7/ISDN-side initiated fax calls.
After the fax call is completed, the call configuration falls back to voice with the original audio codec, if the original call event was a voice call.
This featurette provides the following benefits:
•Fallback to Passthrough—The MGC can be configurable on a system-wide basis for fallback to pass-through when T.38 is not supported by a SIP endpoint.
•Fallback to Voice—The MGC can be configurable on a system-wide basis for fallback to voice that disallows pass-through fax.
•Codec Selection Preference After Fallback—When the codec preference from either an H.323 or MGCP gateway excludes G.711, and T.38 fax fails, the MGC can be configured to instruct the H.323 or MGCP gateway to up speed to G.711 for fax pass-through; and if the call fails, the MGC instructs the T.38 fax initiating party to fallback to the original audio codec for voice.
•Codec Unavailable for a Protocol—When G711 is unavailable on a given protocol (due to bandwidth conservation purposes) and T.38 fax fails, the MGC instructs the T.38 fax initiating party to fallback to the original audio codec for voice. The case applies to where the audio channel is on a codec other than G.711 (for example, G.729).
•Generate CDRs for Upspeed Attempts —The MGC generates call data record (CDR) 4081 when up-speed is attempted whether it is successful or fails for up-speed fax. The codecs being used for Fax shall be check pointed across standby MGC.
Note Fallback to passthrough after failed T.38 Faxes dependent on IOS release 12.4.(5a); Fallback to voice after successful T.38 Fax is dependent on IOS release 12.4(7a).
The following XECfgParm.dat parameter was added:
The following call detail record data was modified for this featurette by adding data values 2 through 4.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn046/CSCOgs053.
E911 SR Mapping Table
This featurette (CSCsb09408) provides support on the Cisco MGC to connect emergency calls that originate in a SIP network to the appropriate selective router (SR) connected to the Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). This feature introduces a mapping table to support the various IAM formats or Centralized Automatic Message Accounting (CAMA) signaling required by the SRs in North America, including the sending of the Emergency Services Query Key (ESQK), which is used by the PSAP to find the calling party location and call-back numbers.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn034/CSCOgs041.
CLI Handling for Mexican ISUP
This featurette (CSCsd03592) modifies the Calling Line Identifier (CLI) handling in Mexican ISUP to allow for call completion when the CLI is requested using Information Request (INR) and Information Message (INF), but is not provided by the originating switch.
Currently the PGW can be provisioned with "CLI Essential" sigpath property *.CLIPEss (values 0 or 1). Setting the value to 1 causes the PGW to request the CLI (INR) if the CLI is not already present, and expect a response (INR). Previously, if the PGW did not receive a CLI in response, it dropped the call. Now, if the PGW does not receive a response it continues the call.
The values of *.CLIPEss have been modified as follows:
•0—Do not request CLI.
•1—Request CLI if not already provided. Drop the call if CLI is not provided.
•2—Request CLI if not already provided. Continue the call even if CLI is not provided.
Note This change will be made generic for all variants that support the *.CLIPEss parameter ( not just for Q767_MEXICAN).
The following changes have been implemented for this featurette:
•Provisioning modification so that values 0, 1, and 2 are accepted for *.CLIPEss; add description of the values in MML help (propSet.xml.dat).
•Modification of LCM so that if *.CLIPEss=2 and no CLI exists the call can still pass. Previously, if *.CLIPEss was set it would reject the call if no CLI existed.
•Modification of all places (ansiSS7, eisup, q721, q767, and LCM) that read *.CLIPEss as a Boolean value; change to read as Integer value.
•Modification of the protocol files so that an incoming INF (or GSM for q721) message that does not contain CLI will continue the call if *.CLIPEss=2. Previously, if an INF/GSM was received without CLI, the call was dropped by the protocol ( it was assumed that CLI was essential if it were requested).
Note After the patch has been applied and you want to use config-lib to revert to a saved configuration, you must manually copy the 'propSet.xml.dat' files from the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/new directory to the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/ and to /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/active_link directory and then start the PGW.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn046/CSCOgs053.
Sun Fire V210/Netra 210 Platform for MGC
This featurette (CSCsd01025) introduced the Sun Fire V210/Netra 210 platform support for the MGC application.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch CSCOgs052.
Support for SIP Update (RFC3311) Phase 1
This change request (CSCsc81117) adds SIP Update (RFC3311) Phase 1 to this software release. The following are requirements from RFC3311:
The following are PGW specific limitations:
•If the other leg is EISUP, and there is sdp in UPDATE, the UAS can reject it by returning a 488 (Not Acceptable Here) response for the UPDATE.
•If populateSDPinCDR flag is on, the SDP from the last accepted UPDATE for the dialog is saved in a CDR.
•PGW does not generate outgoing UPDATE message in non-proxy mode. At proxy mode, PGW passes UPDATE transparently. The idea is to pass UPDATE with SDP to gateway as MDCX via internal event LMidCallSDPEvent
•lcm.mdl. We only accept LMidCallSDPEvent at Connected state before; this has been extended to AddressComplete and Alerting states.
•sip.mdl, Added Boolean pendingMediaUpdate to indicate that we are processing a valid UPDTE message; When UPDATE is received at OCC_Alerting, OCC_Answered, OCC_Connected, TCC_Ringing and TCC_Completed states, if pendingMediaUpdate is TRUE, discard the UPDATE, else validate it, if there is SDP and the other leg is not EISUP, send LMidCallSDPEvent to lcm and set pendingMediaUpdate to TRUE; If other leg is EISUP, reply with 488; At OCC_Connected and TCC_Completed state, session timer is reset as long as the UPDATE is valid (regardless of presence of SDP); When LMidCallSDPEventAck is received at these state and pendingMediaUpdate is TRUE, send 200OK response to UPDATE; Updated sendRespons function so SessionExpires head is inserted to UPDATE response only at connected states.
Note This change request was introduced in patch CSCOnn042.
Fax and Data Call Translation
This featurette (CSCsb30733) translates ISUP calls to data/fax calls by changing the Calling Party Category, Bearer Capability, and High Layer Compatibility IEs in outgoing IAMs based on the dialed Called Party Number.
Previously, the CPCMOD result type was used to modify the Calling Party Category in IAM. Two new result types BCMOD and HLCMOD have been added and will be used to modify Bearer Capability and High Layer Compatibility.
Both the predefined value and the provisioning value are supported but the provisioning value's octet coding is not verified. Every dial plan table will include the BC and HLC tables. Both A and B number analysis are applicable but multiples within A-analysis or B-analysis are overwritten; the last collected value is applied.
All three result types can be provisioned against A number or B number analysis.
Note This featurette only supports scenarios in which the TCC is ISUP; only ITU ISUP variants are supported.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn041/CSCOgs049.
No Alerting for Wrong SCCP Indicators in ACM Backward Call Indicators
This change request (CSCsc73299) adds support for SCCP indicators ('01' and '11') in ACM for ANSI. Previously, only '00' was supported. CSCsc64221 adds support of '10'.
Previously, no ringback was provided on calls where the wrong SCCP indicator was given in ACM for ANSI; the PGW 2200 dropped the ACM and sent a CFN message back to the SS7 side. This fix passes the alerting message back to the ISDN side even if the wrong SCCP method indicator is in the ACM.
Note This change request was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn041/CSCOgs049.
Support of DNS SRV and SIP Load-sharing
This featurette (CSCsa62907) implements DNS SRV and SIP load-sharing in compliance with the RFC2782 specification. When the PGW 2200 is connected to multiple SIP entities that offer a service, it does loadsharing among multiple SIP entities when provisioned so in the DNS server. The PGW 2200 loadshares the initiation of SIP sessions (INVITE messages) between these entities. The entities can be SIP Proxy servers and/or SIP Back to Back User Agents.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn040/CSCOgs048.
Multiple IP Addresses in SIP Contact Header
This featurette (CSCeg67066) supports multiple IP addresses in the SIP Contact header for redundant interworking with a SIP application server. It introduces the ContactListOrder sigPath property to the Cisco PGW 2200. With this property, the Cisco PGW 2200 can perform digit analysis and modification, if required, before initiating a new INVITE to the first IP address and subsequent IP addresses in the Contact header. If the INVITE sent to first IP address fails to get a response and the following three retries also fail, the MGC then sends the INVITE to the second IP address in the list. After all of IP addresses in the list are tried, the MGC returns to digit analysis or releases the call back though the PSTN.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn039/CSCOgs047.
Support for M3UA Priority Routes
This featurette (CSCsb65433) provides the ability to assign priorities for M3UA routes for each OPC/DPC pair on the PGW. Two levels of priority can be assigned on an M3UAROUTE link; level 1 (higher priority) and level 2. The default priority is 1. If multiple routes have the same priority assigned, the PGW loadshares traffic across the links.
Note Only two signaling gateways (SG) can be supported for a specified sigPath. When two SGs are assigned different route priority, only the SG with the higher priority is selected for routing. The other SG is only used when the higher priority SG fails. When the two SGs are assigned the same priority, the traffic is loadshared.
Note This feature can only be used for communication between Cisco MGCs and Cisco ITPs. For information on the restrictions on the Cisco ITPs, refer to the Support for M3UA and SUA with SCTP on Cisco ITPs feature module.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn038/CSCOgs046.
Support for TNS in Q767 RUSS
This enhancement (CSCsb08374) adds a new variant to support the TNS parameter in the IAM message for Q767_RUSS.
Note This enhancement was included in the CSCOnn029/CSCgs036 patch combination.
Early ACM Configurable for PRI Sigpath
This change request (CSCsb56186) enables the *.FastConnect property for PRI (currently only used in NI2+) (configurable on sigpath).
It removes the fix done for caveat number CSCsa65317 which followed the Q.699 mapping rules to decide whether or not to map CallProgress to SS7.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn032/CSCOgs039.
SIP Remote Party ID Support
This featurette (CSCsa60241) provides support on the Cisco MGC of the ISUP-to-SIP mapping of CLI to SIP Remote Party ID or P-Asserted ID header. It also updates the generic handling of the SIP-to-ISUP and ISUP-to-SIP mapping of calling line identity, generic number, and redirecting number.
This featurette:
•Supports the ISUP-to-SIP mapping of CLI to SIP Remote Party ID or P-Asserted
•Updates the generic handling of the SIP-to-ISUP and ISUP-to-SIP mapping of calling line identity, generic number, and redirecting number.
•Although ISUP-to-SIP is the primary focus, mapping also works for calls from Q.931, QSIG, DPNSS, and H.323 to SIP. The MGC 2200 supports mapping the CLI into the SIP FROM Header, and optionally into the SIP Remote Party ID Header or the P-Asserted-ID on an outgoing SIP trunk group basis.
•Provides CLI Information for the Call Diversion or Redirection Information
•With the addition of support for the SIGTRAN protocols IUA and SCTP, the Cisco PGW 2200 can now use standard protocols for communication with the media gateways.
Note The existing functionality is controlled by the cgpnInclude property. This property inserts the Calling Party Number parameter into the From Header even if the presentation indicator is set to restricted.
The Remote-Party-ID and P-Asserted-ID headers are already supported. A new header, Privacy (for P-Asserted-ID header support) has been added.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn032/CSCOgs039.
Additional Charging Fields for Redirected Calls
This featurette (CSCsb12818) adds support for additional charging fields so that redirected calls can be properly billed. The PGW 2200 stores both the NOA and digits for both the ingress Redirecting Number (RDN) and Original Called Number (OCN) and additional tags for the egress Redirecting Number (RDN) and Original Called Number (OCN) for both the ANSI and ITU PGW 2200 CDRs.
This featurette adds 7 new tags as indicated in the following table.
Note The parameter received by the PGW can be modified by property, number normalization, or generic analysis. It is possible for the same parameter to have different values on the ingress and egress sides.
Note The OCN number is not usually used for billing purposes.
The following new tags were added in this featurette:
Note The new tags will be available in BAMS release 3.30.
Note 1060 CDB is incomplete. It is missing tags 4084, 2003, 3003 etc. Caveat CSCsb31960 has been opened to fix this defect.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn031/CSCOgs038.
Support for BRI Backhaul
This featurette (CSCee66527) enables new CPE hardware to function properly for TCP based BRI Backhaul and enables the new 28xx and 38xx to work with the PGW 2200.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn030/CSCOgs037.
AOC over PRI Tariff Based on Call Duration
This featurette (CSCsb07919) enhances the AOC over PRI support (Advice of Charge (AOC) Supplementary Service over PRI/DSS1)feature. It enables the triggering of tariff changes based on the duration of a call. It allows the PGW to support tariff structures like "flat initial rate" or other rate changes that are associated with the length of the call. Additionally, the timers have been extended to support millisecond granularity. The initial charge units are sent at call connection.
To allow AOC over PRI tariff changes based on call duration, the PRITARIFF MML component has been enhanced to include 4 new fields.
The following table lists the fields for the PRITARIFF MML component. The last 4 fields are new.
The 4 new fields are stored in a new table (priTariffChargingUnit.dat), with the following format:
Tariff Table ID Charging Units Duration RateType Initial Tariff Desc
The following 4 tariff types are available:
•Duration based tariff—does not expire (until time of day/day of week switchover). The existing tariffs are of this type.
•Duration based tariff—expires after a time period.
•Flat rate tariff—expires after a time period.
•Ongoing flat rates tariff—uses a continuous flat rate period until a time of day/day of week switchover.
The following table shows the configurations for the available tariff types:
How This Featurette Works
When a call is connected, the PGW 2200 uses the pricharge table to determine the current TariffID for the call (based on Charge Origin, Charge Destination, Day of Week and Time of Day). The PGW then looks up the Tariff ID in the priTariff table and reads in the tariff information. If there is an "Initial Tariff Descriptor" defined, then these tariffs are applied first. After the Initial Tariffs have been applied, the PGW applies any specified tariffs. For example, if Tariff ID 3 has initial tariff defined as "5 7", then tariff is 5 is applied first, then tariff 7, and then tariff 3. The tariff remains in effect until time of day/day of week tariff switchover.
Provisioning Restrictions Validated by the PGW
The following provision restrictions are validated:
•The tariffs described in the priCharge Tariff Descriptors must all have duration=0 (for example, tariffs cannot expire after a duration into the call.
•The tariffs with duration>0 can only be used as initial tariffs.
Provisioning of the PRICHARGE component has not changed. The only restriction is that all tariffs must have duration=0 (for example, you cannot specify a tariff that expires after a duration).
These tariffs can have "initial tariffs" which are applied at the beginning of the charging (specified in the PRITARIFF component).
The following is a priCharge example:
Table 16 PRICHARGE EXAMPLE
ORIG DEST DOW S-TARIFFDESC D-TARIFFDESC E-TARIFFDESCall originations
1
default
1 0900 2 1500 3 2000 4
The AOC-D tariff descriptor indicates that we will use:
•Tariff ID #1 from 00:00 to 09:00
•Tariff ID #2 from 09:00 to 15:00
•Tariff ID #3 from 15:00 to 20:00
•Tariff ID #4 from 20:00 to 00:00
Provisioning example for Tariff ID 1:
mml> prov-add:pritariff:tariffid=1,drecchrg=1,currency="dollars",
amount=1,amtmult=3,timelen=60,timescale=2,granularity=1,
granularityscale=2,billingid=0,chargingunits=50,duration=0,
ratetype=1,initialtariff="8 5 6"
The following new alarm has been added to alarmCats.dat and will be triggered if the engine attempts to read the new table and fails:
399 "Pri Tariff Charging Unit Table Load Failure" 2 Y "Failed to load PRI tariff charging unit table" "Failed to load PRI tariff charging unit table" 3
Note AOC over BRI is also supported.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn029/CSCOgs035.
Relaxed Provisioning Integrity Rules
This change request (CSCsa75624) removes an intermediate integrity check of provisioning data, so that customers can modify dial plans without having to remove dependencies within the dial plan first, until the time a prov-cpy or prov-dply is performed.
The MML command, numan-dlt:dialplan has a new parameter "contentonly", which determines whether or not to remove dial plan content or the whole dial plan. Valid values for this parameter are:
•false (default)—keeps the existing behavior that runs a dependency check and deletes the whole dial plan file from the configuration set.

Note A minimum of three tariff changes can be made before 10:00 a.m. For more information, see caveat number CSCsb22179.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn027/CSCOgs033.
Russian INAP
This featurette (CSCeg33908) allows service providers in the Russian Federation to use the PGW 2200 as an SSP (with limited functionality). It uses the existing functionality added by the Finnish INAP (FINAP) featurette. For more information on the Finnish INAP featurette, see the Meter Pulse Messages Support feature module document located at the following url:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps1913/products_feature_guide09186a00802043ec.html

Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn027/CSCOgs033.
Re-INVITE for an Unsupported SIP-H323 Call Flow
This featurette (CSCeh01785) changes the behavior of the PGW for H.323 to SIP or SIP to H.323 calls. Previously, only basic calls were supported on the PGW for H.323 to SIP or SIP to H.323 calls. If a SIP Re-INVITE is received, then one of the parties was muted. With this featurette, instead of leaving the call in a mute state, the PGW rejects a SIP Re-INVITE when it is received as part of a SIP to H.323 or H.323 to SIP call.
Note SIP Re-INVITE is not supported when SIP is interworked with EISUP (for example, SIP-PGW-EISUP-HSI and SIP-PGW-EISUP-PGW-SS7). In these cases, when a SIP Re-INVITE is sent for Call Hold, Call Resume, or Call Transfer, the SIP Re-INVITE is rejected. This is a known limitation.
Note A later software release will contain features that allow the interworking of SIP Re-INVITE and H.323 ECS as well as with EISUP in general. These features will eliminate this feature.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn026/CSCOgs032.
VXSM Support
This featurette (CSCeg89855) provides support on the Cisco PGW 2200 to extend provisioning and range modification to support PGW 2200 interworking with the VISM or VXSM Media Gateways. It provides the following:
•Support external node type VISM (which is the same as the existing node type MGX 8850).
•Support external node type VXSM (which is the same as the existing node type MGX 8850).
•Support VXSM endpoint name convention: DS/S-0/DS1-#/#@gateway, DS/S-0/DS1-#/*@gateway, and *@gateway
•Support hairpin call handing for VISM/VXSM
This feature is supported for use with the following Cisco media gateways:
•MGX 8850 Media Gateway
•MGX 8880 Media Gateway
The following restrictions apply to this featurette:
•After switchover of the VXSM from active to standby, active, stable voice calls are maintained. For data calls (for example, fax and modem calls), only the bearer path for the call is maintained upon a switchover.
•Transient data calls (for example, voice calls in the process of being converted to a data call) are not preserved on the newly active VXSM.
•Bearer path after switchover reverts to a voice call; it is up to the end data devices to resynchronize/reattempt their data transmission to maintain the data flow.
•To avoid MGC overload conditions, set the VXSM configuration for the MGCP DLCX (Delete Connection) value to not exceed 24 messages a second for each VXSM.
•Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) support
–In-band DTMF (G.711) - no issues
–RFC 2833 - no issues
–SIP Subscribe/Notify - not supported after switchover
–H.245 alphanumeric method - not supported after switchover
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn021/CSCOgs025.
Multiple Carrier Selection
This featurette (CSCdz89645) enables you to use a single HSI (or a pair of HSIs for redundancy) to route calls to multiple HSI carriers.
•The existing trunkgroup property BNationalPrefix (16-character string) is used as a tech-prefix and is stored in Call Detail Record (CDR) tag 4014.
Note BNationalPrefix is case sensitive.
•The EISUP trunkgroup that has a NULL value for the BNationalPrefix property is selected as the incoming trunkgroup (it can be both the incoming and outgoing trunkgroup).
•The tech-prefix capability is applied only when the PGW interconnects to the HSI through EISUP.
•The existing SigPath property, H323AdjunctLink, must be provisioned against EISUP and set to 1 to indicate HSI connection and allow the tech-prefixing capability.
Note If H323AdjunctLink is set to 0, a PGW to PGW configuration will be assumed and the existing BNationalPrefix functionality (NOA-BNationalPrefix featurette) will apply.
•If the NOA-BNationalPrefix feature is not used, there should be one and only one trunk group with BNationalPrefix=NULL. If there are multiple trunk groups already provisioned, you must remove them. This also applies to a PGW to HSI configurations.
•If the NOA-BNationalPrefix feature over EISUP is used, you need a minimum of two trunkgroups; at least one with BNationalPrefix set to your national prefix and another with BNationalPrefix=NULL.
Note Provision postprocessing checks to ensure that only one EISUP trunkgroup has a NULL value for the BNationalPrefix property. If more than one EISUP trunkgroup has a NULL value for the BNationalPrefix property, postprocessing fails.
Note In this release, the BTechPrefix property replaces the BNationalPrefix property used for this featurette. You must replace the property name when upgrading from release 9.4 to release 9.5.
A-Number Mods Triggered by CLIP/CLIR
This featurette (CSCeg61238) introduces the ability to modify the A-number based on the Presentation Indicator in the Initial Address Message (IAM) message or its equivalent. In this feature, A-numbers encountering this result in analysis are modified with a user-defined prefix when the value of the stored presentation restriction data indicates that the number is restricted or unavailable. If this is not the case, the A-number is not modified and analysis continues. For more information, see the Conditional A-Number Digit Modification feature document located at the following url:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps1913/products_feature_guide09186a00804dfb26.html
Note If additional instances of A-number modification occur as analysis continues, the A-number can be further modified.
Note This featurette can be used for SS7 ITU and SS7 UK routes.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn023/CSCOgs027.
ITP Signaling Gateway with Distributed MTP3
This featurette (CSCsa83579) extends the use of the Cisco ITP Signaling Gateway to support the use of a single point code for multiple ITPs in front of multiple MGC nodes. This featurette requires the Cisco ITP to be running with IOS Release 12.2(25)SW2 or higher.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn023/CSCOgs027.
Call Cutoff Timer Update
This feature (CSCef27813) enhances the existing Call Cutoff Timer feature to support three units of time—hours, minutes, and seconds. This feature uses a global timer, which is started after answer for every call and continues for a pre-specified length of time. When the timer expires, the call is released in both directions. Previously, the timer was set using hours. Now the timer can be configured using hours, minutes, or seconds, but not using a combination of units. The maximum timer value is 48 hours, or 2880 minutes, or 172800 seconds. Call Cutoff Timer can be set on a system-wide basis, using Call Cutoff timer (XECfgParm.dat parameter), or on a per call basis, using an analysis result type to provide the timer value. Valid values are:
•For hours, 0 (disabled), 1—48
•For minutes, 0 (disabled), 1—2880
•For seconds, 0 (disabled), 1—172800
Note When using VSPT, the default for this featurette is hours. This cannot be changed at this time.
Note When using EGW, the default for this featurette is hours. This cannot be changed.
Note When using seconds, a minimum of 1200 seconds (20 minutes) must be used.
When setting the Call Cutoff Timer on a system-wide basis using the Call Cutoff Timer parameter (XECfgParm.dat), you must use an editor, such as vi. To ensure that valid values are entered, the application validates and if necessary, limits the timer values and unit fields to their default or maximum values, as appropriate.
Note New XECfgParm.dat parameters are added to the system during migration.
The migration script has been modified to invoke a data interrogation script that inspects and modifies the XECfgParm.dat parameters. For this featurette, the data interrogation script examines the following XECfgParm.dat parameters:
•Call Cutoff Timer parameter—If the parameter exists, its value is left intact. If the parameter does not exist, it is added with a default value of 0 (disabled).
•Call Cutoff Timer Units parameter—If the parameter exists, its value is left intact. If the parameter does not exist, it is added with a default value of 0 (hours).
Call Release After Failover
If the callcutoff timer is set on an answered call and the call is subject to multiple failovers, the overall timer period is extended, but the call is still released. When the timer is set on the Active (at call answer), checkpointing of the value to the Standby causes the timer to be set there as well. If a single failover is encountered, the timer continues on the new Active and expires within the expected timeframe of the original timer setting.
If subsequent failovers occur, the timer on the existing Active is lost and hence there is no timer running on the Standby. In this situation, the timer is reapplied (full time) on the new Active (formerly the Standby). The overall time for timer expiry and release on the call is then equal to the elapsed time on original Active from timer setting up to failover + the elapsed time on the new Active after initial failover and up to new failover + the full period of the timer on the final new Active.
Note Only in the event of more than one failover on a connected call is the timer duration extended.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn018/CSCOgs019.
New Zealand ISUP OLM Support
This featurette (CSCee59868) adds support in New Zealand ISUP for the Overload (OLM) parameter (national parameter used when call processing capacity on a switch exceeds a certain value). Affected circuits are made unavailable to traffic for a period of two minutes. This featurette does not support checkpointing to the Standby and does not contain MML support for display of circuit stats via rtrv-tc or rtrv-cic.
Note This featurette is required by voice carriers that need to interconnect with the PTT.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch CSCOnn015.
CBI Field Transparency over DSS1_Q931
This featurette (CSCee59923) enhances COP Ed 3 behavior to include support for the transit of the UK-specific CBI (CLI Blocking Indicator) parameter over DSS1/Q.931 links. The support includes changes to the "CLISelectionForCodeOfPractice" trunk group property (added new value and change the default value from 0 to 2), and ETS_300_102 (ETSI PRI) protocol variant (mapping of "spare" and "not available" bits in Presentation Restriction Indicator (Octet 3a)).
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn013/CSCOgs011.
QSIG over BRI and Q.931 over BRI Backhaul
This feature supports two BRI protocols, Q Signaling (QSIG) and Q.931. The Cisco MGC can now backhaul layer 3 QSIG/Q.931 messages over a TCP session. TCP is required for internetworking with BRI voice gateways.
With the addition of support for ISDN BRI over TCP backhauling, the Cisco MGC can now be used to control calls for BRI voice gateways connected to QSIG private branch exchanges (PBXs). This adds to the existing functionality that enables the Cisco MGC to control calls for Primary Rate Interface (PRI) voice gateways connected to QSIG PBXs.
Note Enabling this feature provides a data pathway for the backhaul of QSIG/Q.931 messages from a Cisco BRI voice gateway to the MGC. An MGCP data pathway must also be defined between the Cisco BRI voice gateway and the MGC to form a complete duplex data pathway.
This feature can be used only with the following Cisco BRI voice gateways:
•Cisco 1751
•Cisco 1760
•Cisco 2600
•Cisco 2610XM
•Cisco 2611XM
•Cisco 2620XM
•Cisco 2621XM
•Cisco 2650XM
•Cisco 2651XM
•Cisco 2691
•Cisco 3640
•Cisco 3640A
•Cisco 3660
•Cisco 3725
•Cisco 3745
Netra 240 and Netra 440 Platform Introduction for MGC Host
This featurette (CSCee30532) introduces the Netra 240 and Netra 440. This featurette offers:
•Upgrade to new 16.1.0.23 CIAgent
•New ALOM support in alarm manager
Note This featurette was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn012/CSCOgs010. It was propagated from release 9.4(1).
New Range For T6 Timer
This change request (CSCef59505) adds a new MML parameter (VALIDATION) for the PROFILE command that allows validation of the ISUP timers to be turned off when adding/editing a profile. Valid values are:
•On—(default) validation of the timer ranges will be performed.
•Off—validation of the timer ranges will NOT be performed.
Note This parameter is only valid for ISUPTIMER profiles, not GRPROFILE.
Note During a PROV-EXP, if any of the timer ranges are invalid, then the VALIDATION parameter is exported with a value of off.
Example MML command:
prov-add:profile:name="prof-1", type="ISUPTMRPROFILE", variant="Q767_BASE", validation="off", t1="5"
Note This change request was introduced in patch CSCOnn009.
Cause Result Set and Bdigit Range/Bdigtree Deletion Ranges
This change request (CSCef70742) adds a new parameter (partial) to the numan-dlt:bdigtree/adigittree. Partial allows you to only delete specified digit strings from the digit tree. You no longer have to delete all matched digit strings. Valid values are:
•Yes—do a partial delete instead of the default deletion (which deletes all matches of a specified digit string)
•No—(default) do not do partial deletion; use the default deletion (delete all matches of a specified digit string)
Note This change request was introduced in patch CSCOnn009.
Charge Number Based on Destination
This featurette (CSCee79016) provides the ability to provision a Charge Number associated with an outgoing Trunk Group. Charge Numbers configured on the originating trunk group take precedence over configurations on terminating trunk groups. If you configure the Charge Number on the originating trunk group, then the Charge Number is used for outgoing IAM messages, regardless of whether the terminating trunk group is configured with a Charge Number. If the originating trunk group does not have Charge Number specified, then terminating trunk group properties are checked against the Charge Number; if present the Charge Number is used.
Note This featurette was introduced in patch CSCOnn008.
Call Agent Controlled SIP T.38 Fax Relay
The PGW 2200 now supports call agent controlled T.38 fax relay between SIP and other networks via MGCP gateway. To support call agent controlled T.38 fax relay, the PGW trunkgroup property FAXsupport, on both originating and terminating legs must be set to 1, and the IOS gateway must have the MGCP T.38 fax relay enabled (either in gateway forced or CA-controlled mode). For more details, refer to the following IOS document, Configuring T.38 Fax Relay, at the following url:
Note This featurette was introduced in patch CSCOnn005.
Note Call agent controlled T.38 Fax calls between SIP and H323 support was introduced in patch CSCOnn012.
CA 30 ISUP Variant
This featurette (CSCec80167) implements the CA.30 ISUP variant. The following functionality is specific to the CA 30 ISUP variant:
•No End of pulsing ST digit is applied in the enbloc mode of operation.
•Cot Check not required in Telstra's network
•Tones and announcements - When a network provided tone or announcement is supplied after an address complete message is returned, the address complete message contains a "no charge" indication.
•Release initiated by called party—If the called party is an analogue subscriber, the on-hook condition results in a network initiated SUS message being sent in the backward direction from the destination exchange to the controlling exchange. In this case, the Suspend/Resume procedures are followed.
•On detection of a transmission fault on a busy circuit, a timer is started at the exchanges at both ends of the affected bearer. Each route has its own timer, which has a value of 5-30 seconds (nominal 10 seconds).On expiry of this timer, calls are cleared. There is no need to clear the calls on the affected circuits because the transmission fault clears the circuits. It may be necessary to clear these calls on the other side of the exchanges.
•ISDN User part signaling congestion control—Minimum requirement with the number of steps of traffic reduction and the type and/or amount of increase/decrease of traffic load at the various steps as follows:
Step 1—User-User Information Messages are discarded.
Step 2—IAMs and Circuit Management Messages are discarded.
Step 3—All ISUP Messages are discarded.
MTP Pause/Resume—to ensure that a customer is not overcharged during a DPU (destination point unavailable) at a transit exchange performing a charging function, all calls on circuits to the unavailable signalling point that are being charged according to the duration of the call are released by the charging point once the DPU has existed for greater than 10 seconds.
•Timer value changes —The following timer value changes have been made:
Two new mdl files have been created:
•q761_austrl_ca30_type.mdl—contains the source code.
•q761_austrl_ca30—contains the type definitions for various messages, parameters, etc.
The protocol file names are:
•Q761_AUSTRL_CA30.mdo
•Q761_AUSTRL_CA30.so
New variant.dat entries:
•Q761_99_BASE SS7-ITU
•Q761_AUSTRL SS7-ITU
Note This featurette was introduced in the CSCOnn002/CSCOgs002 patch combination.
Support for H.323 Info
This featurette (CSCdy33095) enables the H.225 INFO message to control when A hears ringback. The Cisco Call Manager uses H.225 INFO messages during call transfer for carrying the ringback tone on/off information to indicate when the calling party should hear ringback. That is when A calls B, and B initiates a blind transfer to C. The HSI must support this message to correctly interoperate with the Cisco Call Manager.
Support for Notify Messages on H.323 Signaling Interface (HSI)
This featurette (CSCdz82112) updates users of Cisco Call Manager and other elements in the PSTN when a Call Manager invoked call transfer occurs in the PGW.
Cisco Call Manager uses H.225 NTFY messages during call transfer to identify the Transferee's name and number information to the calling party. For example, when A calls B, and B transfers the call to C, the information about C is sent to A using a H.225 NTFY message.
If the A party is in the PSTN, then the H.225 NTFY has to be interworked to Connected Line Presentation (COLP). The HSI supports this message to correctly interoperate with Cisco Call Manager.
The following new trunk group/sigpath properties were added to support this feature:
Note This featurette works only for calls within the same enterprise or VPN.
TIBCO Support
This featurette (CSCdy52150) provides the Cisco MGC with the ability to communicate with an outside management system via Tibco Rendezvous Message Transport. In order to provide data exchange, Tibco Rendezvous daemons and an adapter are installed on the Cisco MGC hosts.
This feature enables you to perform various functions on your Cisco MGC using your Tibco management system. The supported management functions are:
•Add
•Modify
•Delete
•Query
•Read
SIP-H.323 Interworking
This featurette (CSCdz58191) allows basic calls to be made between SIP and H.323 based networks, that are connected through the PGW 2200. It supports basic voice calls only—no services from remote endpoint(s) or PGW 2200s. The following known issues exist:
•Passing of DTMF does not work.
•T.38 FAX does not work.
•Call flows that involve receiving a SIP Re-INVITE do not trigger an H.323 ECS Invocation.
•Call flows that involve receiving an H.323 ECS do not trigger the PGW to send a SIP Re-INVITE.
•INAP redirection commands are not supported for SIP-H.323 or H.323-SIP calls.
MGCP 1.0 Support
This featurette (CSCdz70058) enhances the version of Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) used on the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) software for the PGW 2200 in Call Control mode.
The MGCP 1.0 protocol provides:
•better management of endpoints where adverse network conditions exist
•extensive selection of return codes
•new restart methods and procedures
Enhanced Call Detail Records on PGW 2200 Softswitch
This featurette (CSCdz72348) provides general usability improvements within the PGW CDRs in support of improved BAMS CDRs and measurements. The following new tags have been added:
•Charge Indicator-A new tag 4083 is populated with the Charge Indicator information received in the Backward Call Indicator IE in ANM and ACM messages. The Charge indicator allows the carrier to determine if certain calls should be billed.
•MCID Indicator-Two new tags 4085 and 4086 are populated (one each for MCID Request Indicator and MCID Response Indicator) if received in IRD and IRS messages.
•Network Translated Address Indicator (NTA)-A new tag 4089 is populated with NTA Indicator information received in the National Forward Call Indicator in IAM message. The NTA Indicator is information sent in the forward direction to indicate whether network translation of the called address has occurred. This indicator is specific to BTNUP, UK IUP, UK ISUP. It allows customers to determine if a number has been translated.
•Indication of MGCP DLCX return code-Two new tags 4087 and 4088 (one for Ingress Gateway and another for Egress Gateway) are populated with the response code received in the DLCX message.
•Generic Number-Generic Number could be multiple in any given message and requires us to populate multiple records for the same parameter. A new tag 4084 (Outgoing Calling Party) records the Calling Party going out on the line from PGW. It is populated and recorded in the CDBs.
•Calling Party Number-The received calling party number is preserved and written to the existing CDR tag 4010.
•Gateway Statistics-The existing tags 4046 and 4067 will be activated to populate and record the Gateway Statistic information.
•Route information per destination-Two new tags 4095 and 4096 will record the Route Name and Route List Name for each call. MDL sends the route id and route list id along with the tag numbers for both of them and the ASCII names are then populated by the engine and recorded in the CDBs.
•The existing tag 4045 will be retired because there is no mechanism in BAMS to extract two different types of data for different PGW versions.
The following new CDBs will be populated and recorded in the CDRs:
The following changes have been made to existing CDBs:
•Calling Party Number- The received calling party number in IAM message is stored and populated in CDB 4010.
•Engine receives the ASCII information for the Route information being sent to it and records the ASCII information for Route and Route List in separate tags.
•Gateway statistic is recorded in existing tags 4046 and 4047 (which will be activated).
Support for Partial CLI and CLI Code of Practice Edition 3
This featurette (CSCea33023) enables the PGW to properly handle a partial or no (Calling Line Identification) CLI and to update the UK CLI Code of Practice from edition 1 to edition 3.
Implementation consists of:
•Providing Partial Calling Line Identification (PCLI) information to a succeeding exchange if the originating side of the call to PGW2200 does not contain CLI related information and the terminating side of the call utilizes the UK ISUP protocol variant.
•Providing the CLI related information, based on the Code of Practice Edition 3 (COP3), to a succeeding exchange if the originating side of the call to PGW2200 utilizes the UK ISUP protocol variant.
In the case of a single-PGW2200 configuration, the information needed to generate the PCLI and CLI COP3 information are readily available from the originating call side to be used by the terminating call side of the PGW2200.
In the case of a double-PGW2200 configuration, the PCLI information must be exported explicitly by the ingress PGW2200 to the egress PGW2200 before the terminating call side of the egress PGW2200 can utilize it. (The PCLI parameter has its own explicit SS7 ISUP parameter ID and is delivered as an optional parameter in the outgoing Initial Address Message (IAM) on the EISUP link, rather than as part of the unrecognized parameter buffer).
Metering Pulse Message Support
This featurette (CSCdy74838) adds Metering Pulse Message (MPM) support to the PGW 2200. It enables the handling of meter pulse message pass through, modification, and generation. Billing information is derived from and provided to the billing mediator using Call Detail Records (CDRs)).
This feature enhances the following two main functional areas of the PGW:
•Additional charging requirements—The PGW uses one or more of the following criteria to calculate charge tariff determination:
–Incoming trunk group
–Calling party number (also referred to as A-Number)
–Called party number (also referred to as B-Number)
–Calling Party Category (CPC)
–Transmission Medium Requirement (TMR)
Charging information in the form of meter pulse messages (MPMs) is sent to the PSTN at call answer and/or periodically thereafter, depending on the tariff data provisioned in the PGW. The sent MPMs are also recorded in a CDR.
MPM can be received over outgoing ISUP trunks. Data contained in them must be analyzed and stored in a CDR. These messages can also be transmitted back over the incoming ISUP trunk.
Charging tariff data can be received from an SCP during a call. This data overrides the data provisioned in the PGW charge tables.
The Charge/No-Charge indicator in the ISUP BCI parameter of the ACM/CPG/ANM messages sent to the network by the PGW must be set appropriately based on either provisioned data in the PGW or data received from the SCP.
•Additional INAP requirements
ITU 1997 and ETSI V3 ISUP Variants
This featurette introduces the ITU-based 1997 version of Q-76x and the ETSI-based ISUP Version 3 base protocols into the PGW 2200.
INAP CS1 Enhancements
The Intelligent Network (IN) is described in terms of a functional model as presented by ITU-T Q.1214 specifications. The functional entities include the:
•Service Control Function (SCF)
•Service Switching Function (SSF)
•Call Control Function (CCF)
The PGW 2200 assumes the role of Service Switching Points (SSPs) that contain both the SSF and the CCF. For the purpose of adding IN services, a portion of the CCF behavior is made visible and is described by a Basic Call State Model (BCSM). The SSF interacts directly with the CCF to make this behavior accessible to the SCF. The The SSF communicates with the SCF via INAP.
A separate relationship is established between the SSF and the SCF for each call. This occurs when the SSF sends an initial request for instruction to the SCF regarding a new call. Either the SCF or the SSF, depending on circumstances, can terminate the relationship.
The BCSM is described using the following elements:
•Points in Call
•Detection points
•Transitions
•Events
Calls progress through a series of states that correspond to Points in Call (PICs). Each state change represents a transition that is precipitated by one or more events. Those PICs where a transfer of control can occur between SSP and SCP have an associated detection point (DP). DP processing allows the transition to be seen by the SCF through an event reporting mechanism.
Two types of DPs are defined:
•trigger DPs (TDPs)—statically armed.
•event DPs (EDPs)—dynamically armed under control of the SCF.
Detection points when armed, cause event reports to be sent to the SCP. An event report can be a notification or a request. A notification informs the SCP of an event and a request specifically requests assistance from the SCP. A request implies a transfer of control to the SCP.
For the purpose of the PGW, only the Originating BCSM is used.

VISM software release 3.3.30 is required for PGWs deployed with VISM gateways in order for the SIP to MGCP T.38 Fax Fallback to Pass-Through and Voice feature to function correctly.
Note For more information, see caveat number CSCsd79877.
Omitting CgPN on Receipt of From: Unavailable SIP header
The following issues exist with this featurette(CSCsc83636):
•The datasync parameter should be set to False before patch installation (this disables the copying of files). It should be set back to true after installation.
•When using config-lib to revert to a saved configuration, manually copy 'propSet.xml.dat' and 'propVal.xsd.dat' files from /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/new to /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/ and /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/active_link and then restart the PGW.
Note This featurette was was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn044/CSCOgs051.
Call Cutoff Timer (dialplan) is Reset After One Failover
The Call Cutoff Timer is configurable at the dialplan level. If configured, the timer is replicated at call answer time and started on both Active and Standby PGW 2200s. After the first failover, the call is released as configured. However, all subsequent failovers reset the timer to the configured value. The call is eventually released but its duration is larger than the call cutoff timer specification.
Note For more information, see caveat number CSCeg73933.
Upgrade/Downgrade Issue for Patch CSCOgs049
If HLCMOD or BCMOD related dialplan provisioning changes are made after the CSCOgs049/CSCOnn041 patch upgrade and then you need to downgrade to previous patch level, you must use the config-lib utility to revert back to your latest configuration prior to adding the patch.
Note For more information, see caveat number CSCsb30733. This caveat was included in the CSCOgs049 and CSCOnn041 patch combination.
numan-add AMODDIG Resulttype Fails if dw2="99" and dw3="0"
To remove the entire A number regardless of the number of digits it contains, enter the value "99" for dataword2.
To use dw3="0" , dataword3 must be 0 (no quotes) or an existing digit modification name or it fails. Do not use dw3="" or do not enter dw3 and the command works.
Example 1:
va-lassie mml> numan-add:resulttable:custgrpid="MGX7",name="removeanum",resulttype="AMODDIG",dw1="1",dw2= "99", dw3="0",dw4="0",setname="set382"

Note For more information, see caveat number CSCsb81061.
Call Cutoff Timer (Dialplan) is Reset After Failover
The Call Cutoff Timer when configurable at the dialplan level, is replicated at call answer time and started on both the Active and Standby PGWs. After the first failover, the call is released as configured. However, all subsequent failovers reset the timer to the configured value. The call is released, but its duration is longer than the call cutoff timer specification.
Note The call cutoff timer is accurate on the first failover after a call is answered. However, on subsequent failovers, the timer is reset to full value.
Note For more information, see CSCeg73933.
AOC Does Not Work for More Than Three Time Changes
AOC for SS7 and PRI does not work when the charge table is provisioned to have more than three time changes with leading zeros.
Note For more information, see CSCsb22179.
Default Value Set to 1 for Missing chargeRateModulator Parameter
Previously, during Russian INAP (RINAP) call setup, the missing chargeRateModulator parameter was defaulted to 1. A software change has been made to cdr_man_func.mdl to set the default for ChargeRateModulator (unitMultiplier) to 100. A value of 100 results in no change.
Note For more information, see caveat number CSCsb21677.
BAMS Cannot Handle CDE Tags with Longer Length Than Defined
For BAMS release 3.20, the system crashes when a CDE tag with a length greater than is defined is received. SKIPCDE has been provided that enables BAMS to skip the received CDE and continue processing. This SKIPCDE is only required if you provision more than six charge periods within 24 hours. Skipped CDEs will not be present in the BAMS output.
For more information, see CSCsa92926.
Dynamic Provisioning of MGCP Version Now Supported
Dynamic provisioning of MGCP version is now supported.
Caution The MGCP version on the gateway must also be changed. Perform your change on the gateway prior to setting the iplink back in-service.
The following is an example of how to change the MGCP version property:
set-iplnk:clink205:oos,confirm
Perform mgcp version change on the gateway.
prov-sta::srcver="active",dstver="mgcp10",confirm prov-add:sigsvcprop:name="mgcp205",gwprotocolversion="MGCP 1.0" prov-ed:iplnk:name="clink205",pri=2 prov-dply
prov-sta::srcver="active",dstver="mgcp10-2",confirm prov-ed:iplnk:name="clink205",pri=1 prov-dply
set-iplnk:clink205:is
To ensure changes have been updated:
rtrv-iplnk:all prov-rtrv:sigsvcprop:name="mgcp205"
Note This must be done on all links on your gateway.
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCeg39436.
Note This workaround was introduced in patch combination CSCOnn020/CSCOgs024.
Diagnostic Code In CFN Message is Not Correct for Two Unknown Parameters in IAM
Specifications Q.850 sec 2.2.5 and Q764 2.9.5.3 indicate that when cause number 99 is indicated, the diagnostics can refer to multiple unrecognized parameters. However, at this time, when an incoming IAM contains two unknown parameters, the diagnostics code in the Confusion message only indicates one unknown parameter.
Note PGW currently only supports including one unrecognized parameter in the diagnostic code.
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCsa95205.
PGW Should Support the Option of Sending Hardware Block Messages
A new XECfgParm.dat parameter engine .SendHardwareBlock has been added. Valid values are true or false. If set to true, the PGW sends hardware oriented blocking messages for any blocks that originate from the media gateways. If set to false, the PGW only sends maintenance oriented blocking messages for all blocking cases.
Note This parameter must be added manually (using a UNIX editor such as vi) on release 9.3 and 9.4 systems. The di script automatically adds this parameter (if not already existing), to release 9.5 systems and above.
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCeg83496.
Link and Call States for New Object Not Synchronized to Standby After prov-copy/prov-sync
When you provision and add new signaling links or new CICS using the PROV-CPY command, you must reboot the system to synchronize the new objects in the active system to the standby. Not rebooting can cause loss of calls after a switchover.
MGCP 400 Return Code Should Send Call to GA With Temporary Failure
Previously, on an MGCP 400 return code, the PGW attempted one resend of the CRCX. If a second 400 return was encountered, the call was released without going to analysis and the cause was set to Normal or Unspecified.
The code has been enhanced so if a second 400 return code is received, the cause is set to TEMPORARY FAILURE and then sent to analysis. The dialplan cause analysis can be setup to do reattempts and route advance on this cause value.
The following MGCP temporary failures map to the indicated internal cause codes and are available for re-routing:
Internal Cause Code Temporary Failure Description400
IC_TEMPORARY_FAILURE
401 & 402
IC_USER_BUSY
403 & 404
IC_RESOURCES_UNAVAIL_UNSPEC
405
IC_SERVICE_TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE
For more information, refer to caveat number CSCeg57446.
snmp.cnf File is Overwritten When Updating to New Release 9
After upgrading from 9.4(1) to 9.5(2), the existing /opt/CiscoMGC/snmp/snmpd.cnf is overwritten with a default file (the existing snmp entries in the snmpd.cnf file are automatically copied to snmpd.cnf.custorig). Since a new default snmpd.cnf replaces the original snmpd.cnf file, the snmp functionality no longer works as expected. After upgrading to any 9 release, you must manually restore the original snmp functionality, IMMEDIATELY after upgrading and PRIOR to starting the PGW software.
Complete the following procedure to manually restore the original snmp functionality:
As root:
Step 1 cd /opt/CiscoMGC/snmp
Step 2 cp snmpd.cnf.custorig to snmpd.cnf
Upgrading to Release 9.6(1)
When upgrading to release 9.6(1), the Times Ten database is upgraded to version 5.0.x.
Upgrading From Releases 9.3, 9.4, and 9.5:
Before uninstalling a previous release, if using the database, run the delete_replication.sh script. After installing release 9.6 on both the active and standby, run the setup_replication.sh script on both PGWs.
The delete_replication.sh script should be run as mgcusr. The script is located in /opt/CiscoMGC/local, but if run as mgcusr, can be run from any location.
The setup_replication.sh script should be run as mgcusr. The script is located in /opt/CiscoMGC/local, but if run as mgcusr, can be run from any location.
Note For more information on running these scripts, refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide at the following url:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps1913/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_book09186a008007df76.html
Note Provisioning must not be done during the upgrade until both PGWs (active and standby) have release 9.6 installed and the setup_replication.sh script has been run (on active and standby).
For more information, refer to caveat number CSCec77087.
Japanese Point Code Transmission
Point codes are used in SS7 networks as addresses for each element. There are three different point code address lengths used in SS7 networks:
•14-bit address
•16-bit address
•24-bit address
Each point code addressing type has unique formats that are used to provide a structure for the network, where the lowest order bits in the address identify a particular signaling point, the highest order bits identify the wider "zone", and the bits in-between identify an "area" or "network." For example, ANSI SS7 uses 24-bit addresses with a format of 8-bits for each field (8-8-8).
Note An exception to this is found in Japanese ISUP, in which the order is reversed (that is, the lowest order bits identify the wider "zone" and the highest order bits identify a particular signaling point).
For more information, refer to the following documents:
•Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Provisioning Guide
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps1913/products_configuration_guide_book09186a008007ddbd.html•Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Operation, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting Guide
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps1913/products_maintenance_guide_book09186a008007e563.htmlT6 Timer Default Change
When migrating/upgrading from release 9.2(2) to releases 9.4(1) and 9.5(2), you must create a profile (sigpathprofile) for each sigpath on which you want to change the T6 value (from the default value (20000)).
The maximum value for T6 is 130000, which is beyond the maximum value defined in the protocol specification.
Note The Q761_SINGAPORE protocol specification states that the maximum value should be 32000, but the software allows up to 130000 in response to a customer requirement.
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCef03452.
Uninstalling Releases for Upgrade and Fallback
When uninstalling release 9.4(1) to upgrade to release 9.5(2), the 9.4(1) uninstall script must be used to uninstall 9.4(1). When falling back from 9.5(2) to 9.4(1), the 9.5(2) uninstall script must be used. For more information, refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide at the following url:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps1913/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_book09186a008007df76.html
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCec34395.
Installation of 9.5(2) Needs to Have Its Own Directory
When installing software release 9.5(2), you should use a directory that has only one UTILITIES directory under it.
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCuk48736.
Simple Resource Control Protocol
The Simple Resource Control Protocol (SRCP) commands and alarms are no longer supported in the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) software effective in software release 9.3(2). SRCP was developed as an optional extension to the MGCP control protocol. It provided an additional heartbeat mechanism between the Call Agent and Media Gateways to ensure that the configuration and parameters were synchronized. When the SRCP heartbeat was enabled, the Call Agent and Media Gateways would exchange information and the Call Agent would provide an alarm if IP addresses, Slot Numbers, Control Protocols/Versions and other parameters were not synchronized.
The SRCP audit mechanism was developed by Cisco Systems when the MGCP protocol was still in draft version and has never been adopted by any Standards bodies (ITU, ETSI) or other equipment suppliers.
QSIG Support in Signaling Inter-Working for Cisco Unity is ECMA Only
Signalling inter-working support for this feature is limited to QSIG implementations based on the ECMA specification only.
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCed01786.
Validation Rules of Cisco Solaris Packages Are Incomplete (mgcrestore/mgcbackup)
The mgcrestore script validates the version of the installed Solaris packages but does not ensure that the install script was executed. If there is a mismatch between when the backup file was created and the time of the restore, the restore is not allowed. For example, if the security package was not installed when the backup was created, but is installed when the restore is attempted, then the restore is not allowed. Because the script does not validate whether the script was executed, the restore validation rules might pass, yet the restore could cause system problems.
Workaround: When Cisco Packages are added and removed, ensure the install and uninstall scripts are executed.
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCdx78398.
Calls Not Going Through After Uninstalling 9.5(1)T and Installing 9.4(1)
When uninstalling release 9.4(1) to upgrade to release 9.5(1)T, the 9.4(1) uninstall script must be run to perform the uninstall . When falling back from release 9.5(1)T to release 9.4(1), the 9.5(1)T uninstall script must be run to perform that uninstall.
Note For more information, refer to caveat number CSCec34395 and the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide at the following url:
