asterisk with MGCP

I may be wrong here, but I thought mgcp was used to communicate with a gateway, not with phones. If you are using Cisco IP phones with the SCCP image, asterisk can support it with it's own skinny channel driver or you can get another one that may work better at

. Unfortunately, I haven't tried it yet but there's a how-to on that site. Good luck and please let me know how it goes.

Just FYI,

I've been testing asterisk with the protocol, and got working with our device.

I had some problem with

1. wildcard RSIP, but recent version has support for it.

1. digitmap handling, made some change into the chan_mgcp.c for working in digitmap mode.

2. extensions.conf has something like:

exten => 7001,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/ snipped-for-privacy@smta1.syspol.com) exten => 7002,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/ snipped-for-privacy@smta1.syspol.com) exten => 7003,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/ snipped-for-privacy@smta1.syspol.com) exten => 7004,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/ snipped-for-privacy@smta1.syspol.com) exten => 7005,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/ snipped-for-privacy@smta1.syspol.com) exten => 7006,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/ snipped-for-privacy@smta1.syspol.com) exten => 7007,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/ snipped-for-privacy@smta1.syspol.com) exten => 7008,1,Dial(MGCP/aaln/ snipped-for-privacy@smta1.syspol.com)

1. mgcp.conf has [smta1.syspol.com] context=default host=smta1.syspol.com wcardep => aaln/* line => aaln/1 line => aaln/2 line => aaln/3 line => aaln/4 line => aaln/5 line => aaln/6 line => aaln/7 line => aaln/8

Thanks.

I use the MGCP ATA186 image fine.

If you were to detail your problem a bit better than someone might be able to help ...

What *exactly* is the problem ?
