CME Ad-Hoc Conference Setup

Simon Birtles

In short;

  • Configure “Conference Hardware” under “telephony-service” then “voice register global”
  • Create dspfarm conference bridge profile
  • Associate conference bridge profile with sccp ccm group
  • add sdspfarm tag to telephony service
  • Create ephone-dn for AdHoc Conference number (used behind the scenes)
  • Check dspfarm profile session numbers, sdspfarm units and transcode sessions if external parties will be in on conference and XCODE is required.
Need to look at why we needed 4 sessions for XCODE , poss both calls plus DTMF ?

Tracing a call through IOS CME with CFB and XCODE.

This shows a conf in session on CME, with two local phones (SIP & SCCP) and one remote SIP phone (CUCM connected). The remote SIP phone is restrcited to G.729 over the trunk to CME from CUCM. The CME CFB is configured for G.711 only.
The two local phones connected using G.711 to the CFB, the remote phone (BR1) uses G.729 over the WAN to the XCODE on the CME router which XCODEs to G.711 and onwards to the CFB.

How do we see this in show commands;

I have been in the IT sector for over 20 years with a primary focus on solutions around networking architecture & design in Data Center and WAN. I have held two CCIEs (#20221) for over 12 years with many retired certifications with Cisco and Microsoft. I have worked in demanding and critical sectors such as finance, insurance, health care and government providing solutions for architecture, design and problem analysis. I have been coding for as long as I can remember in C/C++ and Python (for most things nowadays). Locations that I work without additional paperwork (incl. post Brexit) are the UK and the EU including Germany, Netherlands, Spain and Belgium.

    Your description helped me with this topic. The items you listed on “in short” session organize the ideas and clarify the steps required.

    Great contribution!
