Verification
- Go to CUCM administration page, select Device > Gateway and Click Find to see the list of MGCP gateways
- Check the Registration status of the MGCP Endpoints and now it has to be registered
- # show mgcp and show mgcp endpint – can be used to verify the MGCP Gateway communication with Communications Manager.
- MGCP Gateway downloads its configuration from CUCM and T1 interface will come up and get registered with CUCM.
