Asterisk config mgcp.conf

[general]
port = 2427
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

[dlinkgw] ; on my setup I put the mac address here which is set as the word with which to authenticate
host = 192.168.0.64
callgroup=1
context = default
callerid=”David” <ext3> ; This will apply to all lines “line” after until callerid is defined again
line => aaln/1
callgroup=2
context = internal_callers
callerid=”John” <ext3>
line => aaln/2
line => * ; for some reason on my dlink it doesn’t work unless I have this line.

[192.168.0.123]
context=from-mgcp
host=192.168.0.123
threewaycalling=yes
;transfer=yes allows FLASH transfers and requires threewaycalling
callwaiting=yes
;is there a way to operate MGCP devices behind NAT?
nat=no
canreinvite=yes
callgroup=0,2-5
pickupgroup=0,1
cancallforward=yes
callerid=”Sven Svoboda” <1234>
accountcode=BillingSvoboda
mailbox=5444@from-mgcp
line => aaln/1

Please note

When typing “reload” on the console, the asterisk doesnt reread the mgcp.conf. You have to restart Asterisk. After v0.7.2 a patch was introduced that supposedly fixes this behaviour and allows the use of “reload”. See bug note #1114.
Use the “mailbox=1234@context” notation if your mailbox is not located in the default context! With the advent of Voicemail2 (and the removal of voicemail version 1 in the end of 2003 from the Asterisk code) voicemail has become context sensitive.

Cisco 7960 MGCP sample config

I have noticed that sometimes 7960 will hang or reboot but chan_mgcp is rock solid.
