MoH CCME

[ricardorojas123]

Hi I have a CCME version 7 installed, the problem is that the music on hold only is heard from the pstn caller, the music on hold in the internal phones registered in the call manager express is not heard. Why ?

telephony-service

moh music-on-hold.au

Hi Ricardo,

You will need to use IP Multicast. Have a look;

Restrictions for Music on Hold

IP phones do not support multicast at 224.x.x.x addresses.

Cisco Unified CME 3.3 and earlier versions do not support MOH for local Cisco Unified CME phones that are on hold with other Cisco Unified CME phones; these parties hear a periodic repeating tone instead.

Cisco Unified CME 4.0 and later versions support MOH for internal calls only if the multicast moh command is used to enable the flow of packets to the subnet on which the phones are located.

Internal extensions that are connected through an analog voice gateway (Cisco VG 224) or through a WAN (remote extensions) do not hear MOH on internal calls.

Multicast MOH is not supported on a phone if the phone is configured with the mtp command or the paging-dn command with the unicast keyword.

Here is how to set this up :)

From this excellent CME doc;

Configuring Music on Hold

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmemoh.html

Hope this helps!

Ok, thanks Rob.

But, What is the range of multicast addresses that can be used?

[leonardo.vecchio]

Hi Ricardo ,

this link is a good guide to Multicast address IP .

http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_IPMulticastAddressing.htm

The address for the internal/local use must be 239.0.0.0 /255.0.0.0

Administratively-scoped (local) multicast addresse

I hope to help you .

please note that there is no E1-Pri installed now.

i am just using it for internal.

Thanks

What do you hear when you put two IP phones on hold? Tone on Hold or silence (dead air)?

If tone on hold, your moh configuration is not correct.

If dead air, there's a multicast routing configuration problem.

[chadlincoln]

Try this under telephony-services:

multicast moh 239.10.16.16 port 2000 route 192.168.1.1 172.16.1.1 ***where those IP's are the default gateways of the phone subnet***

If your phones are on a different subnet, you may have to enable multicast routing.

Hi,

I think that there was a limitation that the multicast port-number must be an even port number, and it has to be in the range between 16384 and 32768.

Check if this would help.
