Chapter 12 IP Video Telephony Configuration

Video Endpoints Configuration

Note By default, Cisco Unified CallManager waits for and endpoint to sent its capability before

Cisco Unified CallManager sends a Terminal Capability Set. However, calls from Cisco Unified Video Advantage to an H.323 device require Cisco Unified Call Manager to send its capability immediately, without waiting for the destination endpoint to send its capability first. Otherwise, calls may fails due to capability negotiation issues.

To avoid this situation, uncheck the Wait for Far End H.245 Terminal Capability Set parameter in the configurations for Cisco Unified Video Conferencing and for H.323 clients.

Route Pattern Configuration for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing PSTN Gateways

Cisco Unified CallManager routes outbound calls to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing PSTN gateway via a H.323 gateway utilizing a route pattern. In the Very Large Campus Clustering over the WAN deployment model this route pattern was 79XXX.

Note The route pattern must begin with the same digits as the service prefix configured on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3540 PSTN gateway

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing gateway registers with a prefix followed by the #. Cisco Unified CallManager was configured with a route pattern that sends all outgoing video PSTN calls to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing gateway and that inserts the # after the Video PSTN prefix. This route pattern is in a partition that can be reached only by video endpoints. Video endpoint will use the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing gateway for audio and video PSTN calls.

For example, assume that a user dials 79 as the PSTN prefix and that the required route pattern is 79.XXXXXXXXXX.

To create this route pattern, Called Party Transformation was applied with the following settings:

Discard Digits: PreDot

Prefix Digits (outgoing calls): 79#

In this case, when a user dials 790123456789, Cisco Unified CallManager sends an H.225 Setup message to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing gateway with a called number of 79#0123456789.
