No Ringback from SIP Provider after Unity Transfer

I've run into an issue where callers coming from the PSTN do not hear ringback after being transferred using a Cisco Unity call handler. 

Ringback works internally between phones, and also works internally if I dial the call handler DN and request a transfer. 

Call flow is this: SIP Provider -> CUBE -> SIP Trunk -> CUCM -> Unity Connection (SCCP)

The caller just hears dead air until the phone is picked up, or it bounces to voicemail. 

There is an MRGL assigned to the SIP trunk to CUBE that contains an announciator and MoH. 

The weird thing is the caller does hear about a second of MoH when Unity begins the transfer, but nothing after that. 

debug ccsip messages:

1111111111 is the called party/number, 2222222222 is the calling number (my cellphone)

I forgot to ask. Do you get ring back on the sip 8841 ip phone? Is it just the pstn user that doesn't get ring back?

Please rate all useful posts

The called phone does ring if that's what you mean? Otherwise if I call the CUC call handler DN from an 8841 internally I do get ringback after a transfer. 

The PSTN user gets no ringback, everything else seems to behave as intended. Audio is two way when the call is connected, the called phones rings appropriately. 

after reading the amazing explanation from my friend Deji....

try to check this option below under your SIP Profile to CUBE: This might change to sendonly...and hopefully it will get fixed.

Just make sure this option is unchecked "Send send-receive SDP in mid-call INVITE" because it will override the above option...

At least I have this setting and I was able to get the ringback to the PSTN for incoming calls working after I added the ANN into MRGL to CUBE...

I also would try to put the ANN into MRGL between CM and CUC, not sure if that will make any difference, but doesn't harm anything...

If still not working, I also would open a case at Telco in order to check it as well...

I gave this a shot, and unfortunately it still did not make a difference. I also tried adding an MRGL with an ANN to the trunk facing CUC, no dice. 

I don't know if at this point its worth getting the ITSP involved, because from how I understand it CUCM is not sending what it should to make the ring back be played to the caller. CUCM needs to handle the ringback in this case, not the ITSP, I believe. 

Really hoping I get some traction with TAC on this now, this is a bigger issue than one might expect because when there is just dear air during the transfer callers assume the call was dropped and hang up. 

Thanks,

Anthony

Anthony,

Can you do a test call with a sip phone dialling the call handler and xfer to another sip phone. Then send me the cucm (SDL) traces for that call. Lets look at how ring back is played in this scenario..

EDIT:

This not an ITSP issue. There are two ways you play ring back in SIP: 180/183. However you cannot send 180/183 for an established call, hence the need for an annunciator. It is cisco cucm who should play ring back through the annunciator.

Did you assign the ANN to the unity connection SIP trunk as well? is there a MRGL that has ANN for that sip trunk?

++A work around while this is on-going++

Within the call handler, under transfer rules, there is an option to check for "play the "wait while I transfer your call" prompt", that will give the callers something to listen to

Attached are traces from a test call at 5:46AM. Called the call handler from Ext. 270 and transferred to Ext. 259, ringback worked as expected in this case as mentioned. 

I did assign an ANN to the CUC trunk as well, I had the same MRGL on both the CUBE and CUC trunk at the same time, still no ringback sadly.

Thanks,

Anthony

When you did that test, did you uncheck the MTP on all Trunks? If I did not get lost, you have unchecked already the MTPs once you removed the TLS, right?

Not sure why you are using "disable-early-media 180" under sip-up in your CUBE...in this case I would tick this as well under your SIP Profile. If still not working remove both CUBE and SIP Profile...

I also would remove: midcall-signaling passthru in your CUBE and give it a shot...

 

Require MTP was unchecked on both trunks during the test, yes. I have left it like this since disabling TLS. 

I have removed the two suggested params from CUBE, and as well on the CUCM side for the disable early on 180, ringback is still not present. 

Thank you,

Anthony

Sorry I am replying late..Been busy

This log does not contain any transfer to extension 259. All I see is a call from 270 to 800 and another call from 270 to 600..

Have you gotten any update from TAC?

Please rate all useful posts

No worries, I appreciate any and all help received so far. 

I must have not picked the right timeframe in RTMT. Time of new call is 12:57PM, checked that the SDL logs actually have this... Sorry. 

No update from TAC. 

I can  confirm that the internal call does not use ANN to play ring back. There is no ANN involve in this call. So looks like the issue is with ANN/CUCM process..

I am not sure why TAC is taking forever to respond..escalate to P1 and you should get an engineer on the line..

I think I understand the impact and priority of the issue and hence It cannot be P1 Deji, as the calls are connecting successfully and issue lies on the ringback tone only.

Very interesting thread, but no CSC expert could resolve it. So something new to TAC as well. It needs to be escalated only when it misses the SLA.

//Suresh Please rate all the useful posts.

Escalating to P1 doesn't mean to get quicker resolution, customer has to understand cisco support like the way cisco understand their customers. Hope I'm not wrong. Cheers. Have a nice weekend to one and all. 

//Suresh Please rate all the useful posts.

This is service impacting and if it were me I would escalate this especially since I have had no update for over 2 days now. Infact I am almost tempted to open a case for Anthony and get an engineer right away!! Escalating means I will get someone to look at it right away..It shouldn't take 72hrs for cisco to respond

Wish you could have already done it on Anthony's behalf and let the CSC know the solution. I'd have rated with 5 stars. ;-)
