1 Unified CM does not support QSIG protocol directly, but only through a MGCP gateway. In such cases Unified CM also supports DPNSS, ISDN, and T1 CAS protocols.
2 VG248 and VG224 supports SCCP. ISR platforms can also register their FXS ports to Cisco Unified Communication Manager through SCCP.

Cisco Unified Communications Application Program Interfaces

Cisco Unified Communications Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provide you with the flexibility to customize the capabilities of many Cisco Collaboration components.

The following table shows the call control signaling APIs that are supported by each component.
