Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(2)XA

Complete the following tasks before configuring this feature:

Ensure that the minimum software requirements are met.

For all platforms: Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XA or greater.

For the Cisco AS5300: VCware Version 9.10 or greater.

Configure IP routing.

For more information on IP routing, refer to the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide,  Release 12.2.

Configure voice ports.

For more information on configuring voice ports, refer to the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax 
Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.

Configure Voice over IP.

For more information on configuring Voice over IP, refer to the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax 
Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.

Set up the call agent or agents.

For more information on setting up call agents, refer to the documentation that accompanies the 
call agents used in your network configuration.

Set up the cable modems, if any.

For more information, see the documentation for the cable product as listed in the “Related 
Documents” section on page 4.

The set of tasks in the list below configures the MGCP 1.0 Including NCS 1.0 and TGCP 1.0 Profiles 
feature on a media gateway. The first task names the voice ports or DS1 groups that are serving as 
MGCP endpoints. This task also associates them with an MGCP service type or application. The second 
task starts the MGCP daemon. 

The last two tasks allow you to configure MGCP parameters to meet your requirements. MGCP 
parameters fall into one of two categories: global or profile-related. When you configure a global 
MGCP parameter value, it applies to all the MGCP endpoints on the gateway. When you configure a 
profile-related MGCP parameter value, it applies only to the endpoints associated with the MGCP 
profile that you are configuring at that moment (an MGCP profile is a user-defined subset of all the 
MGCP endpoints on the gateway). There is also a default MGCP profile by which you can configure 
profile-related parameters when endpoints do not belong to user-defined MGCP profiles. The different 
commands that configure global and profile-related MGCP parameters are listed in Table 2.

See the following sections for configuration tasks for the MGCP 1.0 Including NCS 1.0 and TGCP 1.0 
Profiles feature. Each task in the list indicates if the task is optional or required.

Identifying MGCP Endpoints (required)

Configuring Global MGCP Parameters (optional)

Configuring an MGCP Profile and Profile-Related MGCP Parameters (optional)
