BE6K 9.1 MGCP compatibility with 1760 GW

[peterson.m]

I'm quoting a BE6K for a client to replace their aging UC environment (CallManager 3.3...yes it's old).  They have two 1760 gateways with FXO's registered using MGCP.  I'm going to quote 2900-series to replace the 1760's, but their budget is tight.  If we keep the 1760's for a while, any compatibility issues using MGCP on those old GW's with UC 9.1(1)?  I don't know what IOS version they're using yet.  It's a simple set-up, no SCCP hardware conferencing/transcoding registered back to CM.  Only the FXO ports.

Thanks

Technically it will work just fine, however I belive the CUCM 9.X compatibility states that IOS 15 is required for CUCM 9 with MGCP.  You can always convert it to H323 though if that becomes an issue.

HTH,
