Configuring SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements

Last Updated: December 14, 2011

This section provides information on configuring the Simple Gateway Control Protocol (SGCP) Restart In Progress (RSIP) and Audit Endpoint (AUEP) Enhancements feature. The feature provides enhancements to SGCP for disconnected RSIP and audit endpoints requested by call agents.

Feature benefits include the following:

Provides SGCP 1.5 gateways with the ability to synchronize endpoints with call agents after the disconnected procedure has occurred.

Prerequisites for SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements

Configure SGCP 1.5 on the gateway.

Restrictions for SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements

This feature applies only to SGCP 1.5 gateways.
This feature does not apply to MGCP gateways.

Information About SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements

The SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements feature provides additional messaging capabilities that allow an endpoint on a Simple Gateway Control Protocol (SGCP) 1.5 gateway to synchronize with a call agent after the endpoint returns to service from the disconnected procedure. The additional messaging capabilities provide the following:

A special disconnected Restart In Progress (RSIP) message that the gateway sends to the call agent as a result of the disconnected procedure.
Additional fields in the Audit Endpoint (AUEP) command that the call agent uses to query the endpoint's status when contact is reestablished.

Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) provides this ability automatically, but it must be explicitly configured for SGCP networks, as described in the How to Configure SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements.

An endpoint may lose contact with its call agent because the call agent is temporarily off line or because of faults in the network. When a gateway recognizes that an endpoint has lost its communication with the call agent, it initiates the disconnected procedure. The disconnected procedure requires the endpoint to send RSIPs to the call agent and also to guarantee that the first message that the call agent sees from the endpoint is an RSIP command. The endpoint continues to attempt to send RSIPs at the intervals prescribed by the disconnected procedure until an attempt is successful. The RSIP identifies itself as an RSIP that was generated from a disconnected procedure rather than from a restart. The following output is seen on the gateway:

Disconnected RSIP sent from gateway
00:04:27:RSIP 7 ds1-3/2@RouterA SGCP 1.5
RM:disconnected

On receipt of a disconnected RSIP message, the call agent may decide to send an AUEP command to query the status of endpoints and synchronize endpoints. The SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements feature provides the following additional fields of information in the AUEP:

I--List of connection identifiers for current connections on the endpoint
ES--Event state of the endpoint (off-hook or on-hook)
RM--Restart method for the endpoint, which is one of the following:
- Graceful--Endpoints are being taken out of service after a delay; the call agent should not make new connections.
- Forced--Endpoints were abruptly taken out of service; connections were lost.
- Restart--Endpoints with no connections will be returned to service after a delay.
- Disconnected--Endpoints are being returned to service after the disconnected procedure.

How to Configure SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements

Configuring SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements
Verifying SGCP RSIP Configuration

Configuring SGCP RSIP and AUEP Enhancements

To configure enhanced restart and endpoint audit messaging capabilities on an SGCP gateway, use the following command in global configuration mode:

	Command	Purpose
	Router(config)# mgcp sgcp disconnect notify	Enables enhanced endpoint synchronization with a call agent after a disconnected procedure. The command is disabled by default.

Verifying SGCP RSIP Configuration

To verify your configuration, enter the show mgcp command. The following example shows that disconnected RSIP is enabled.
