No early media for ISDN->SIP->ISDN
Hi,

I've a Cisco 5300 running firmware image c5300-js-mz.122-15.T12.bin that
interacts with SipExpressRouter (SER) from iptel.org.

Following scenario: a caller from ISDN calls a number which is routed
thru the C5300 to SER, where it is forwarded back to ISDN via the C5300
again. In this, and only in this scenario, the caller doesn't hear any
early media (no ringback, no announcements etc).

It works like charm when I for example call from a Cisco ATA to ISDN via
C5300 and vice versa.

When I configure "voice call send-alert" at the C5300, the PROGRESS is
converted to ALERT and I hear a ringback tone, but other early media
like announcements are also overwritten by a ringback tone.
I've also tried "progress_ind setup enable 3", 8 for alert and 8 for
proceed, without any success.

I've alread studied (hopefully) all available Cisco documentation (voice
commands for Firmware 12.2-T, the "Interworking Signaling Enhancements
for H.323 and SIP VoIP", the "PSTN Callers not Hearing any Ring Back
When they Call IP Phones", "Troubleshooting No Ringback Tone on
ISDN-VoIP (H.323) Calls" and so on).

Any hints?

Regards,
Andy
