From what I have read when setting up IP trunking between two Avaya’s you require a C-LAN card for the signalling and a MedPro for the trunks (Bearers), thus two IP addresses are required for each node. With most other vendors only one IP address is used for a Gateway when setting up IP trunking. The question is can you use IP trunking between an Avaya and another Vendor. If any one has set this up any advice would be appreciated on how to set up the AVAYA.

Well, not exactly, but here's a simplistic overview: The MedPro is basically your CODEC ... your TDM to IP compression module, if you will. It converts the TDM voice into IP packets. Traffic routing from traditional TDM trunks to IP Phones, traditional TDM phones to IP Trunks, or from an IP Phone to a traditional TDM phone will require a MedPro. However, IP endpoint to IP endpoint traffic will not require a MedPro because the traffic is already packetized. Additionally, the MedPro IP address is used by the PBX (and other entities) but the MedPro's resources are allocated dynamically. When you set up IP trunking you do not reference the MedPro's IP address.

Yes. Others have successfully set up h.323 trunking between an Avaya CM other products (G3V6 TN464F PRI D Channel Problem).
