Inbound and Outbound calls not working in H323 Gateway
Inbound and Outbound calls not working in H323 Gateway
I have come across a situation where am unable to make inbound/outbound calls.
Here is the call flow
PSTN—VG-H323—MPLS—CUCM
This is debug of the actual failed incoming call

Debugging Enabled for H323 Call:
· debug cch323 h225 and debug cch323 h245 –>call setup and tear down checking.
· debug voip dialpeer —>to check dial peer matching
· debug ip tcp transaction —-> to make sure that the TCP session for H.225 and H.245 is being established
debug isdn q931 –> to check idsn logs
Few things need to take a note :
H323 and SIP gateway never registers with the Call Manager.
· Call Manager shows the status of the H323/SIP Gateway as Unknown.
Make sure these configurations are in place in H323 Gateway
1. Step 1
conf t
voice service voip
allow-connections h323 to h323
allow-connections h323 to sip
allow-connections sip to h323
2. Step 2
GW1(config)#voice service voip
GW1(conf-voi-serv)#h323
3. Step 3 – Try resetting H323 by issuing
no h323
h323
4. Make sure your call manager IP is added in the trusted list
you can verify using the below command
show ip address trusted list
5. Make sure you bind the source interface
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
description **** LAN
ip address 10.X.X.X 255.255.255.0 >> Gateway ip address
ip nbar protocol-discovery
delay 10000
negotiation auto
h323-gateway voip interface
h323-gateway voip bind srcaddr 10.X.X.X >> gateway ip address
Else you can give the loop back IP as well but make sure you configure the same IP in the H323 Gateway else the call will be rejected
Router(config-fa)h323-gateway voip interface //
This command will bind interface IP Address with H323 for signaling. It used because H323 signaling contains different source address so to make it a single ip address need to bind with interface
6. Fail over configuration
dial-peer voice 2020
destination-pattern 44….
session target ipv4:10.X.X.X
preference 0 —->Preference 0 (This is the primary route for connecting with CUCM)
voice class h323 1
dial-peer voice 2021 voip
destination-pattern 44….
session target ipv4:10.1.1.102
preference 1 —->(Backup route to cucm)
voice class h323 1
7. And finally reset the H323 gateway in CUCM
