MX300 and MX200 standalone

[Youssef Aoufi]

Hi there,

I want to make a demo with one MX300 G2 and MX200 G2 for a customer.

I want to use both endpoints in a standalone mode, the customer doesn't have any vcs or cucm. ( Point to point call);

I read in the following thread that i must use H323 to be able to make calls directly:

https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12340271/cisco-mx300-tcs-standalone

Here are the settings for both devices:

• MX300

-------------

IP address: 192.168.1.229

mask : /24

default GW: 192.168.1.250

h323 mode: Direct

H323 Alias  E164 : 2003

H323 Alias ID: youssef.aoufi@company.com

Default call protocol: H323

• MX200

-------------

IP address: 192.168.1.230

mask : /24

default GW: 192.168.1.250

h323 mode: Direct

H323 Alias  E164 : 2004

H323 Alias ID: user.test@company.com

Default call protocol: H323

The main problem is that i don't know how to dial :

if i dial 2004 from the MX300 i receive the following message: cannot connect call

If i dial: user.test@company.com from the MX300 i receive the following message: cannot connect call

If i dial: 192.168.1.230 from the MX300 i receive the following message: cannot connect call

If i dial: 2004@192.168.1.230 from the MX300 i receive the following message: could not place call to sip:2004@192.168.1.230.

I think i am missing something.

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi there,

Issue resolved, The H323 mode was disabled on the MX300.

Hi Youssef/All,

I am new to the VOIP world and in a similar situation doing a demo for a client. I was referring to your post for the details and its been a lot helpful for me.

One question, might sound silly but can I connect the systems directly using a lan cable end to end  between a MX300 and a MX800 or does it need to go through a switch? I have limited resources to do the testing so your valuable suggestions would be much helpful.
