To configure common options used for all MGCP devices (phones), perform the following steps:

  1. Open the UCx Web-based Configuration Utility
  2. From the PBX tab, select PBX Configuration
  3. From the left side column, select MGCP Settings
  4. Review the configured defaults
  5. If you made any changes in the settings for MGCP phones, press the Submit Changes button to save the configuration

You should review and change the default values for some of the options as required:

Advanced General Settings

If you want to change the default port number (2727) that is used by the UCx system for communication with MGCP phones (for example for security reasons), enter the desired port number in the Bind Port field. This requires MGCP phones to be set to use the alternate Port number as well.
