CME – using transcoding resources on a separate chassis

Posted: July 26, 2006 by cciestudy in Callmanager Express

You can use transcoding resources available on a separate chassis with CME. You can go upto 5 sdspfarm sessions. CME will share all available resources.

CME configs:

ip source-address 10.1.11.4 port 2000 ———– 10.1.11.4 is the CME router.

sdspfarm units 2
sdspfarm transcode sessions 2
sdspfarm tag 1 mtp0013c3443150 —- this transcoder is on the same box as CME. Lets call this trancoder 1. This is on NM-HDV2
sdspfarm tag 2 mtp0009b7da6540 —- this transcoder is on a different box. Lets call this transcoder 2. This is on NM-HDV

Transcoder 1 configs:

voice-card 1
dspfarm
dsp service dspfarm

sccp local FastEthernet0/0
sccp ccm 10.1.11.4 identifier 1
sccp
!
sccp ccm group 1
associate ccm 1 priority 1
associate profile 1 register mtp0013c3443150
!
dspfarm profile 1 transcode
codec g711ulaw
codec g711alaw
codec g729ar8
codec g729abr8
codec gsmfr
codec g729r8
codec g729br8  ————— g729r8 and g729br8 are not there by default
maximum sessions 1
associate application SCCP

Transcoder 2 configs:

voice-card 1
dsp service dspfarm

sccp local FastEthernet0/0
sccp
sccp ccm 10.10.10.1 priority 1
!
dspfarm transcoder maximum sessions 4
dspfarm
!

Two calls were placed to force the transcoding and CME did utilize each transcoder (The number of transcoding sessions per transcoder was set to 1)

sh sccp connection output on Transcoder 1: (call1)

PSTNSw#sh sccp conn
sess_id conn_id stype mode codec ripaddr rport sport

1 1 xcode sendrecv g729 10.1.11.4 2000 17040
1 2 xcode sendrecv g711u 10.1.11.4 2000 16416

Total number of active session(s) 1, and connection(s) 2
sh sccp connection output on Transcoder 2: (call2)

br2#sh sccp conn

    I have quite a high credit rating and was careless enough to get several credit cards for which I was pre-approved by email. Now I realize they are too many and I was late with payments for 2 of them. Fortunately, I got a balance transfer credit card and moved the most part of my debt there, as I found the advice and the application form at

    available citi cards balance transfers

    I tried the NM-HDV configuration in my lab (I have a CME on a 3745) with the NM-HDV local and am having an issue where if I do a show sccp connection it shows the transcoding sessions, but I’m getting no audio on my call (I’m calling from a CCM phone through H323 to CME and into voicemail). Any suggestions? I checked the configuration that you have listed and mine pretty much matches up (with the obvious exception of mac addresses, etc).
