MGCP protocol Behaviour with isdn disconnect message contain PI=8

Hello All ,

i want to bring this matter to the discussion , i Hope it will Help .

In a similare call flow (not strict , its applies on all the call flows with CCM/PRI controlled by MGCP existance)

PSTN-->MGCP PRI-->CUCM-->IP Phone (SCCP)

and you facing issue that When PSTN hang up the call, internal IP phone does not hang up by the meaning  : the call remain established until the ip phone hang up the call or the T306 timer Kick in , here is the explination of this behaviour :


=======================

in the deb isdn you usually see this ISDN messages exhange (example) :

13:57:22.561    Q.931    0x002D    SETUP              RX <-- 89.13.198.7 13:57:22.599    Q.931    0x802D    CALL_PROC          TX --> 89.13.198.7 13:57:22.599    Q.931    0x802D    ALERTING           TX --> 89.13.198.7 13:57:24.598    Q.931    0x802D    CONNECT            TX --> 89.13.198.7 13:57:24.701    Q.931    0x002D    CONNECT_ACK        RX <-- 89.13.198.7 13:57:34.833    Q.931    0x002D    DISCONNECT         RX <-- 89.13.198.7 13:57:53.056    Q.931    0x802D    RELEASE            TX --> 89.13.198.7 13:57:53.142    Q.931    0x002D    RELEASE_COMP       RX <-- 89.13.198.7

so from the debugs it looks like the CCM didnt send the RELEASE immediatly so all the attention turn to
be on the CCM side and you start thinking that this is a CCM defect or so .

if you took deeper look to the disconnect message body , and if you see PI in the Disconnect message body

13:40:12.694       Q.931    0x006C  DISCONNECT                     RX <-- 89.13.198.7 Cause i = 0x8090 - Normal call clearing Progress Ind i = 0x8288 - In-band info or appropriate now available




#the root cause of this issue is that the MGCP protocol doesnt handle/convert the disconnect with PI and this
is the natural of this prtocol so in the CCM traces you will the CCM transperent to the disconnect message
and the call will only Tear down if the ip phone simply hang up the call or the T306 Kick in.

to fix this issue you have to apply on of the following options :

-from the service parameters on the CCM , please change this serviceparameter to false " Retain Media on Disconnect with PI for Active Call" the service parameters" -change the MGCP GW protocol to H323 (h323 can convert the PI to disconnect -Ask the PSTN provide to not send PI in the body message of the Disconnect

Best regards
