Music on Hold – MOH

Music on Hold is a feature that consists of streaming music and relies on the Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming Application.

If a device must access a MOH server , then it must be configured under its MRG/MRGL.

Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming Application also provides Software Annunciator, Software Conference Bridge and MTP resources. Once this service is started under the Control Center, all previous application are enabled.

Cisco’s recommandation is to not run the Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming service on a server where you perform already call-processing as it can require high CPU overhead.

A Maximum of 51 audio sources can be configured across the cluster (50 in the form of audio files and 1 fixed audio source(usually a soundcard inside the server)).

MOH servers msut register with Call Manager and they communicate with it using SCCP.

SIP CUCM

Since Call Manager 4.X, SIP Trunks can be used for connectivity with SIP Networks and devices via a SIP Proxy Servers.

A SIP Proxy can handle SIP Request , Authentication and Authorization of users and will implement policies and features

Gatekeeper Basic Configuration

Here is a basic definition for the gatekeeper config:

!
gatekeeper

zone local oks ksiazek.be 10.0.0.1 1719

zone prefix oks 1234*

gw-type-prefix 1#* default-technology

bandwidth total zone oks 1024

bandwidth session zone oks 128

no shutdown

!

The zone local defines the Gatekeeper’s name , the domain to which it belongs and its IP Address and the TCP port used.

The zone prefix specifies the Gatekeeper’s name and the prefix associated within the zone list.

The gw-type-prefix will help to route calls if the called number doesn’t correspond to an E.164 number.

The bandwidth total zone defines the maximum aggregate bandwidth that you can use within this specific zone.

The bandwidth session zone defines the maximum bandwidth available for a session in the zone ( so this is the bandwidth for a call)

No shut activates the Gatekeeper’ configuration.

General Queuing Definition

Queuing issometimes reerredto as congestion management as it identifies how trafic from multiple streams is sent out of an interface which is currentlyexperiencing congestion.

In other words, the queuing is the fact that a device( router or switch) will attempt to bufferize the extra traffic until the bandwidth will be available again

Switch Default CoS-to-DSCP and DSCP-to-CoS Mappings

Here are the default values for the mapping until you decide to change it

First let’s see the CoS-to-DSCP mapping

  • CoS 0 => DSCP 0
  • CoS 1 => DSCP 8
  • CoS 2 => DSCP 16
  • CoS 3 => DSCP 24
  • CoS 4 => DSCP 32
  • CoS 5 => DSCP 40
  • CoS 6 => DSCP 48
  • CoS 7 => DSCP 56

After let see the reverse side with the DSCP-to-CoS mapping

  • DSCP 0 => CoS 0
  • DSCP 8,10 => CoS 1
  • DSCP 16,18 => CoS 2
  • DSCP 24,26 => CoS 3
  • DSCP 32,34 => CoS 4
  • DSCP 40,46 => CoS 5
  • DSCP 48 => CoS 6
  • DSCP 56 => CoS 7
