Appendix B: Integrating Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified SRST to Use Cisco Unified SRST How to Use Cisco Unified SRST Gateways as a Multicast MOH Resource How to Use Cisco Unified SRST Gateways as a Multicast MOH Resource To use Cisco Unified SRST gateways as a multicast MOH resource, perform the following tasks: • Configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager for Cisco Unified SRST Multicast MOH, page 288 • Configuring Cisco Unified SRST for Multicast MOH from an Audio File, page 296 • Configuring Cisco Unified SRST for MOH from a Live Feed, page 306 For Cisco Unified CM 8.0 or later, see the Configuring MOH-groups for Cisco Unified SRST (fallback) section in the Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony 8.0 Music On Hold Enhancement document. Configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager for Cisco Unified SRST Multicast MOH The following sections describe the Cisco Unified CM configuration tasks for Cisco Unified SRST multicast MOH: • Configuring the MOH Audio Source to Enable Multicasting, page 289 • Enabling Multicast on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager MOH Server and Configuring Port Numbers and IP Addresses, page 290 • Creating an MRG and an MRGL, Enabling MOH Multicast, and Configuring Gateways, page 293 • Creating a Region for the MOH Server, page 295 • Verifying Cisco Unified Communications Manager Multicast MOH, page 296 To use Cisco Unified SRST gateways as multicast MOH resources, you must configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to multicast MOH to the required branch sites. To accomplish this, you must configure IP addresses, port numbers, the MOH source, and the MOH audio server. Even though the MOH routing is set up to prevent the Cisco Unified CM-sourced multicast MOH from actually reaching the WAN and the remote phones, the configured Cisco Unified CM MOH IP port and address information are still used by Cisco Unified CM to tell the phones which multicast IP address to listen to for MOH (for the MOH sourced by SRST). Configuring the MOH server involves designating a maximum number of hops for the audio source. A configuration of one hop keeps Cisco Unified CM multicast MOH packets from reaching the WAN, thus spoofing Cisco Unified CM and allowing Cisco Unified SRST multicast MOH packets to be sent from Cisco Unified SRST gateways to their component phones. For cases in which Cisco Unified CM multicast must reach gateways that do not run Cisco Unified SRST, use the Cisco IOS ip multicast boundary command to control where multicast packets go. After the MOH server is configured, the MOH server must be added to a Media Resource Group (MRG); the MRG is added to a Media Resource Group List (MRGL); and the designated Cisco Unified CM branch gateways are configured to use the MRGL. Five Cisco Unified CM windows are used to configure the MOH server, audio source, MRG, MRGL, and individual gateways. Figure 4 provides an overview of this process. The last Cisco Unified CM configuration task involves creating an MOH region that assigns MOH G.711 codec usage for the central site or sites and branch office or offices. 288 Cisco Unified SCCP and SIP SRST System Administrator Guide OL-13143-04

How to Use Cisco Unified SRST Gateways as a Multicast MOH
Resource
To use Cisco Unified SRST gateways as a multicast MOH resource, perform the following tasks:
Configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager for Cisco Unified SRST Multicast MOH,
page 288
Configuring Cisco Unified SRST for Multicast MOH from an Audio File, page 296
Configuring Cisco Unified SRST for MOH from a Live Feed, page 306
For Cisco Unified CM 8.0 or later, see the
Configuring MOH-groups for Cisco Unified SRST (fallback)
section in the
Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony 8.0 Music On Hold Enhancement
document
.
Configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager for Cisco Unified SRST
Multicast MOH
The following sections describe the Cisco Unified CM configuration tasks for Cisco Unified SRST
multicast MOH:
Configuring the MOH Audio Source to Enable Multicasting, page 289
Enabling Multicast on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager MOH Server and Configuring
Port Numbers and IP Addresses, page 290
Creating an MRG and an MRGL, Enabling MOH Multicast, and Configuring Gateways, page 293
Creating a Region for the MOH Server, page 295
Verifying Cisco Unified Communications Manager Multicast MOH, page 296
To use Cisco Unified SRST gateways as multicast MOH resources, you must configure
Cisco Unified Communications Manager to multicast MOH to the required branch sites. To accomplish
this, you must configure IP addresses, port numbers, the MOH source, and the MOH audio server.
Even though the MOH routing is set up to prevent the Cisco Unified CM-sourced multicast MOH from
actually reaching the WAN and the remote phones, the configured Cisco Unified CM MOH IP port and
address information are still used by Cisco Unified CM to tell the phones which multicast IP address to
listen to for MOH (for the MOH sourced by SRST).
Configuring the MOH server involves designating a maximum number of hops for the audio source. A
configuration of one hop keeps Cisco Unified CM multicast MOH packets from reaching the WAN, thus
spoofing Cisco Unified CM and allowing Cisco Unified SRST multicast MOH packets to be sent from
Cisco Unified SRST gateways to their component phones. For cases in which Cisco Unified CM
multicast must reach gateways that do not run Cisco Unified SRST, use the Cisco IOS
ip multicast
boundary
command to control where multicast packets go.
After the MOH server is configured, the MOH server must be added to a Media Resource Group (MRG);
the MRG is added to a Media Resource Group List (MRGL); and the designated Cisco Unified CM
branch gateways are configured to use the MRGL.
Five Cisco Unified CM windows are used to configure the MOH server, audio source, MRG, MRGL,
and individual gateways.
Figure 4
provides an overview of this process.
The last Cisco Unified CM configuration task involves creating an MOH region that assigns MOH G.711
codec usage for the central site or sites and branch office or offices.
