MGCP PRI Options

[Gordon Ross]

What exactly do the "Enable Status Poll" & "Unattended Port" options mean on an MGCP PRI port?

The CCMAdmin docs don't seem to mention them, and google doesn't seem to be helping either :-/

Thanks,

Hi Gordon.

Enable status poll is an option to put  b channels of a circuit in maintenance mode and has the same effect of the following command given on a VG's serial interface:

isdn service b_channel 0-30 state 1 (1 is maintenance value) 

For unattended port, it indicate to cucm that calls for this line will be forwarded to an application server such as voice mail.

Hmm. The "Unattended Port" explanation is quite vague :-/ I'll leave it alone...

Are you aware of any pitfalls of leaving the Enable Status Poll flag set?

Because it put b channels in maintenance mode, it would make your circuit unavailable.

So I would leave that option unchecked
