We're in the process of configuring a pair of routers with E&M modules to
connect two offices. We are able to dial through the PBX, to the E&M
module on router 1, over the F/R to router 2, but all we get is dead air at
that point.

The same thing happens if we go the other way from the router 2 side. We
get all the way through then dead air. Looking at the call status, it says
it was sucessful. Does the last leg E&M pass the called extension numbers
as tones to the receiving PBX? Should the receiving PBX be providing a
dial tone? Thanks for any help.

try dtmf relay in dial-peer. also, try immediate forward signalling instead
of wink-start (if you are using wink-start).

What type of PBX are you using?

Do you have your E&M trunks pgm'd to provide dial tone? Do you need to
assign DTMF receivers to your E&M trunks?

Yes, the routers will pass digits to the pbx if you're not absorbing
them. Can you post your dial-peer and voice-port configs?

Does the remote phone ring (you will not hear the ring tone) ?

If it does then you've got your signalling (e and m) wires correct but
you've got the speech pairs wrong. I assume you are using 4-wire (you
should be in order to prevent echo).

Yo have got the signalling type correct such as immediate start or wink
start ? Cisco's web site has some great documents on this - just search
under E+M. Is your PBX a Siemens HiCom with the new type of E+M card ?

We're using Mitel ML200L's at both ends.

I'm not sure about the E&M trunks.

Your destination patterns are absorbing all your digits. No digits are
being sent to your remote PBX.

Here's one of mine...

dial-peer voice 2300 pots
destination-pattern 23..
port 2/0
prefix ,23
!
dial-peer voice 2301 pots
destination-pattern 23..
port 2/1
prefix ,23

Notice that the digits absorbed by the destination-pattern (23), I'm
reinserting on the trunk. The ',' is there to insert a pause, because the
Cisco will send the digits to Nortel Norstars before the Norstar has
assigned a receiver, causing the first digit to be missed (took me
forever to figure that out). The 2 digits represented by the '..' are
passed to the PBX after the prefix.

If this is your problem, you can place a call to the remote switch, then
when you get silence, dial the digits (on the phone you are using) that
the remote switch is expecting and see if your call gets sent to the
correct destination.

Okay, I'll give this a try. I think we did try dialing some digits after
one of the connects and nothing happened.

Thanks.
