Video calls between CME 7.1 and CUCM 7.1

[Anatoly Fedchik]

Hello,

I need advice.

There are two geo sites connected via Internet. First site contains CME(cisco2901)  another site contains  ASA + ISR 2811+CUCM. On first site, cisco ip phones registered on CME on second site on the CUCM.

I need to setup video calls(VT Advantage) between sites. I plan to perform it with sip trunk between CME and CUCM. Will it work or maybe i need consider another solution?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Video should work once you have an operational H.323/SIP network for voice calls between both systems.

Hello,

1) Yes, please use sip trunk as the interface between cme and cucm.

2) Please note: officially  cme sip trunk video is only supported for cme1—sip trunk---cme2 type set up, but for  basic call you could try to setup cucm to use early media on the sip  trunk. cme by default would use early media and it should work.

3) For configuration guide on CME Video, you can refer http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmevideo.html#wp1027101 

4) For interfacing CME with CUCM, please remember to configure below command on CME:

       voice service voip
        sip
          asymmetric payload full

Hope this helps,

Vishal

I know this is a very old post, but I want to thank Vishal for the above.  I was troubleshooting one way video problem between CME and CUCM.  The asymmectric payload full command fixed it.
