Cisco Unified CallManager Configuration for IP Video Telephony

SIP Trunk Calls with Asymmetric Regions

This section provides an overview of two asymmetric regions scenarios for intercluster calls across SIP trunks.

Scenario 1—Device with an associated Cisco Unified Video Advantage in Region A calls a device in Region D through an intercluster trunk

In this scenario, a call proceeds as follows:

Region A – SJC Cisco Unified CallManager – Region B – SIP trunk – Region C – DFW

Cisco Unified CallManager – Region D

The regions include the following devices:

Region A (Video)—All video enabled phones, including Cisco Unified Video Advantage

Region B (SJC-WAN)—All intercluster trunks

Region C (DFW-WAN)—All intercluster trunks

Region D (SJC-Local)—All devices without video capabilities

Table 12-20shows the regions matrix for SJC.

When a device with an associated Cisco Unified Video Advantage in Region A calls through an intercluster trunk in Region B, G.729 and G.711 codecs are sent from SJC to DFW during the capabilities exchange process.

The call will arrive at DFW through an intercluster trunk in Region C and will then be routed to a device in Region D. Only the G.729 codec will be sent from DFW to SJC during the capabilities exchange process.

After the capabilities exchange process completes, the call will connect using the G.729 codec.

Scenario 2—H.323 video endpoint with only G.711 capabilities in Region A calls a device in Region E through an SIP trunk

In this scenario, a call proceeds as follows:

Region A – SJC Cisco Unified CallManager – Region B – Transcoder – Region C – Intercluster trunk – Region D – DFW Cisco Unified CallManager – Region E
