Feature Overview

The ATM Software Segmentation and Reassembly (SAR) feature allows the Cisco 2600 series to carry voice and data traffic over ATM networks using AAL2 and AAL5 and allows the Cisco 3660 to support AAL2 voice traffic.

For the Cisco 2600 series, this feature works in conjunction with the T1/E1 multiflex voice/WAN interface card (VWIC), which is plugged into a WIC slot to provide one ATM WAN interface at a T1/E1 rate supporting up to 24/30 channels of voice.

T1/E1 ATM support is a time-to-market feature that helps service providers take advantage of the inherent quality of service (QoS) features of ATM multiservice applications. FR-ATM (FRF.5 and FRF.8) internetworking is supported on the Cisco 2600 series.

On the Cisco 3660 a T1 IMA network module is used as the IMA interface providing a maximum of one ATM IMA interface that supports up to 48/60 voice channels. Up to eight T1/E1s and multiple IMA groups are permitted, but only the first IMA group supports voice over AAL2 for up to 48/60 voice channels. NM-IMA already supports AAL5 on both the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series (not just 3660).

The Cisco 2600 Series T1/E1 ATM portion of this feature provides a shared implementation of the ATM features currently available on the Cisco MC3810 with the Cisco 2600 series.

The figure below illustrates the ATM AAL2 nonswitched trunking feature connecting two private branch exchanges (PBXs) together without the call agent (CA).

Figure 1ATM AAL2 Non-Switched Trunking Solution


The next two figures below illustrate CA solutions. In these solutions, a CA provides business voice services traditionally offered by a circuit-based PBX.

In the figure below, the trunking gateway (the Cisco 3660 platform) requires support of incoming and outgoing multi-frequency signaling for the barge-in and busy-line verify features. The residential gateway (the Cisco uBR924 cable access router) must support the CLASS features and 911 capability.

Benefits

AAL2 and AAL5 Functionality

Adds AAL2 and AAL5 functionality to the Cisco 2600 series and AAL2 to the Cisco 3660 on an IMA network module. AAL2 and AAL5 are the most bandwidth-efficient, standards-based trunking methods for transporting compressed voice, voice-band data, and frame-mode data over ATM infrastructures.

Economical ATM SAR Option

Provides robust, low-cost addition of ATM software SAR functionality to the Cisco 2600 series.

Lower Overhead and Better QoS

Enhances continued use of existing ATM infrastructure, providing traditionally high ATM QoS.

Restrictions

Cisco 2600 Series and Cisco 3660

  • Analog voice modules are not supported for AAL2 feature. (IP over ATM AAL5 is supported.)

Cisco 2600 Series

  • SS7 and bisync protocol cannot be used when this feature is active.
  • Only one T1/E1 multiflex VWIC is supported, setting the number of allowable T1/E1 ATM interfaces to one.
  • Only the Cisco 2650 and Cisco 2651 support end-to-end, Network Traceable Reference (NTR) clocking. For the NTR clock to work correctly, the T1/E1 multiflex VWIC must be placed in slot zero of the Cisco 2650 and Cisco 2651. In the case where a two-port T1/E1 multiflex VWIC is installed in slot zero, either of the two ports can be configured for support, but only one can be supported.
  • The T1/E1 ATM feature requires that the T1/E1 multiflex VWIC be placed in slot zero.

Cisco 3660

  • Only one IMA group can support AAL2 voice. If there are multiple IMA groups, then only the first IMA group supports AAL2 voice.
  • Two T1/E1s are supported for ATM and 48/60 voice ports for PBX.
  • Only the T1/E1 IMA network module supports AAL2 voice. This feature does not support OC3/T3/E3 network modules.
  • The T1/E1 IMA network module does not support an NTR clock.

Cisco 2620XM

  • When the traffic is sent with rate 100pps (256 bytes size), some cells are lost on the router where VWIC-1MFT-E1 is configured as ATM port. There is no workaround to this limitation. For a detailed description, see Traffic Shaping on Cisco 3810 Routers at the following URL:

Prerequisites

T1/E1 multiflex VWICs on Cisco 2600 series routers must be plugged into slot zero. The Cisco 3660 must be configured with a T1/E1 IMA Network Module. PBX voice requires a Digital T1/E1 Packet Voice Trunk Network Module Interface to be installed in the network module slot in the Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660.

You can configure the following four features on the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3660 routers:

  • AAL2 Trunking with CAS
  • AAL2 Trunking with common channel signaling (CCS)
  • MGCP CAS
  • MGCP Primary Rate Interface (PRI) Backhaul

Configuration Tasks for AAL2 Trunking with CAS

See the following sections for configuration tasks for AAL2 Trunking with CAS on Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3660:

Configuring ATM on Cisco 2600 Series

This section describes the ATM configuration tasks necessary to support Voice over ATM using AAL2 on the Cisco 2600 series.


Note
If any DS0 groups (CAS groups), channel groups, or clear channels are configured on T1/E1 controller 0, you must remove them before configuring VoATM. Because ATM uses all of the DS0 time slots on the controller, the ATM configuration cannot take place if any DS0s on controller 0 are used by other applications.

You must perform the VoATM configuration on the Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 concentrators at both ends of the ATM link.


Note
When verifying your ATM PVC connectivity, note that you cannot enter the ping command over a voice PVC because the command applies to data only. If you have data and voice PVCs set to the same destination, you can enter the ping command over the data PVC.

To configure a Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 series concentrator to support VoATM on a T1/E1 trunk, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

13.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# end

14.    Router# show atm vc


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
Router(config)# controller t1 e1 0/0 

Selects the T1 or E1 controller 0/0.

 
Step 2
Router(config-controller)# mode atm

Example:

 

Specifies that the controller will support ATM encapsulation and create ATM interface 0/0.

 
Step 3
Router(config-controller)# framing framing type 

Specifies the T1 framing type as extended superframe or esf.

When the controller is set to ATM mode, the Controller framing is automatically set to Extended SuperFrame (esf) on T1 and to crc4 on E1.

 
Step 4
Router(config-controller)# linecode linecode type 

Specifies the T1 line code type as b8zs.

The linecode is automatically set to b8zs on T1 and to HDB3 on E1.

 
Step 5
Router(config-controller)# no shutdown 

Ensures that the controller is activated.

 
Step 6
Router(config-controller)# exit 

Exits controller configuration mode.

 
Step 7
Router(config)# interface atm slot/port subinterface-number multipoint |point-to-point]]  

Enters interface configuration mode to configure ATM interface 0/0 or an ATM subinterface.

For subinterfaces, the default is multipoint.

 
Step 8
Router(config-if)# pvcword ] { vpi/vci | vci 

Creates an ATM PVC for voice traffic and enter ATM virtual circuit configuration mode.

vpi= 0 to 255

vci= 1 to 1023

word= optional PVC identifier (letters only); if you assign a PVC identifier, you can use it to specify this PVC when configuring network dial peers

Note    AAL2 encapsulation is not supported for interim local management interface (ilmi) and Q signaling ATM adaption layer (qsaal) PVCs.
 
Step 9
Router ( config-if-atm-vc ) # encapsulation aal2 

Sets the encapsulation of the PVC to support AAL2 voice traffic. This automatically creates channel identifiers (CIDs) 1 through 255.

 
Step 10
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rtpeak-rate average-rate [ burst 

Configures the PVC for variable-bit-rate real-time (VBRrt) (voice) traffic. Guidelines for setting the peak rate, average rate, and burst size are as follows:

  • Peak rate--If it does not exceed your carrier's allowable rate, set to the line rate (for example, 1536 kbps for T1-ATM).
  • Average rate--Calculate according to the maximum number of calls the PVC will carry times the bandwidth per call. The following formulas give you the average rate in kbps:

G.711 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 85

G.726 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 43

G.729 with 20 byte sample size--max calls x 22

G.729 with 30 byte sample size--max calls x 15

If voice activity detection (VAD) is enabled, the bandwidth usage is reduced by as much as 12 percent with the maximum number of calls in progress. With fewer calls in progress, bandwidth savings are less.

  • Burst size--Set the burst size as large as possible, and never less than the minimum burst size.

Guidelines are as follows:

The minimum burst size is 4 x the number of voice calls.

The maximum burst size is the maximum allowed by the carrier.

You can calculate the value using the calculator at the following URL:

http://www-vnt/SPUniv/DSP/Codec_Calc1.asp

(Optional) Configures transmission of end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells on a PVC, optionally specifies the number of seconds between loopback cells, and optionally enable operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) management of the connection.

The range for frequency is 0 to 600. The default is 10.

 
Step 12
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retryup-count down-count retry-frequency 

(Optional) Specifies OAM management parameters for verifying connectivity of a PVC connection. This command is supported only if OAM management is enabled.

  • The value of up-count is the number of OAM loopback cell responses received to change the PVC connection to up. The range is 1 to 600; the default is 3.
  • The value of down-count is the number of OAM loopback cell responses not received to change the PVC connection to down. The range is 1 to 600; the default is 5.
  • The value of retry-frequency is the number of seconds between loopback cells sent to verify the down state of a PVC. The range is 1 to 1000; the default is 1.
Note    Enter the oam retry command only once with all the arguments in the order shown. The first number always specifies up-count ; the second down-count , and the third retry-frequency .
 
Step 13
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# end 

Exits configuration mode.

 
Step 14
Router# show atm vc 

Verifies the ATM PVC configuration.

Configuring End-to-End Clocking

The following commands can be used to configure the Cisco 3660 only when there is a time-division multiplexing (TDM) switch module on board. For the Cisco 2600 series, these commands are automatically allowed.


Note
When verifying your ATM PVC connectivity, note that you cannot enter the ping command over a voice PVC because the command applies to data only. If you have data and voice PVCs set to the same destination, you can enter the ping command over the data PVC.
SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# network-clock-participate{nm | wic} slot

2.    For Cisco 2600 series:

3.    Router(config) network-clock-select priority t1 slot/port

4.    Router(config) network-clock-select priority t1 slot/port

5.    Router(config) voice-card slot


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
Router(config)# network-clock-participate{nm | wic} slot 

Enables the Cisco 2600 series router or the Cisco 3660 to receive clock signals from the VWIC by entering the keyword wic and the slot number 0 on the router.

 
Step 2
For Cisco 2600 series:

Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate {nm | wic} slot



Example:



Example:

For Cisco 3660:



Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate {nm} slot

 

Enables the Cisco 2600 series router or the Cisco 3660 to receive clock signals from the network module by entering the keyword nm and the slot number 1 on the router.

 
Step 3
Router(config) network-clock-select priority t1 slot/port 

Names a source to provide timing for the network clock and to specify the selection priority for this clock source. The priority selection is 1 or 2 .

Use the no form of this command to cancel the selection.

 
Step 4
Router(config) network-clock-select priority t1 slot/port 

Assigns priority 1 to ATM interface 0/0 and priority 2 to controller 1/0.

 
Step 5
Router(config) voice-card slot 

Enters voice-card configuration mode and sets codec complexity. For slot, use a value from 0 to 3 that describes the card location in the module.

 

Configuring a CAC Master for AAL2 Voice

This section describes the configuration tasks necessary to configure call admission control (CAC) for AAL2 voice. The commands and procedures in this section are common to the Cisco 2600 series and the Cisco 3660 routers.

You can configure a Cisco 2600 series router or a Cisco 3660 as either a CAC master or a CAC slave. By default, this is a CAC slave. You typically configure a CAC master at one end of an ATM trunk and a CAC slave at the opposite end.

Configuring Dial Peers for AAL2 Voice

For more information on dial peers and dial-peer configuration, see the "Configuring Voice over ATM" chapter in the Cisco IOS Multiservice Applications Configuration Guide, Release 12.1.

Configuring Network Dial Peers to Support AAL2

To configure a network dial peer for Voice over ATM (VoATM), specify a unique tag number, an ATM, a virtual circuit number, and a channel identifier (CID).

To configure VoATM dial peers, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# dial-peer voicetag voatm

2.    Router(config-dial-peer)# destination-pattern string

3.    Router(config-dial-peer)# session protocol aal2-trunk

4.    Router(config-dial-peer)# session target atm 0/0 pvc word | vpi/vci | vci } cid

5.    Router(config-dial-peer)# codec aal2 profile itut |custom profile-number codec

6.    Router(config-dial-peer)# dtmf-relay

7.    Router(config-dial-peer)# signal-type ext-signal transparent

8.    Router(config-dial-peer)# no vad

9.    Router(config-dial-peer)# exit

10.    Repeat Step 1 through Step 9


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
Router(config)# dial-peer voicetag voatm 

Defines a VoATM dial peer for VoATM and enters dial-peer configuration mode.

The tag identifies the dial peer. Each tag on any one router must be unique.

 
Step 2
Router(config-dial-peer)# destination-pattern string 

Configures the dial peer's destination pattern.

The string is a series of digits that specify the E.164 or private dialing plan telephone number. Valid entries are the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through D. The following special characters can be entered in the string:

  • The star (*) and the pound sign (#) can be used in a dial string, but not as leading characters (for example *650 is not permitted).
  • The period (.) can be entered as a wildcard digit. Network dial peers typically use wildcards to represent a range of destination telephone numbers (for example, 1408555.... for all numbers in area code 408 with the 555 prefix).
  • The comma (,) can be used only in prefixes, and is used to insert a 1-second pause.
  • The timer (T) character can be used to configure variable-length dial plans.
 
Step 3
Router(config-dial-peer)# session protocol aal2-trunk 

Configures the session protocol to support AAL2-trunk permanent (private line) trunk calls.

 
Step 4
Router(config-dial-peer)# session target atm 0/0 pvc word | vpi/vci | vci } cid

Example:

(for Cisco 2600 series)



Example:

For Cisco 3660:



Example:

router(config-dial-peer)# session target atm <slot>/ima <group#>

 

Configures the ATM session target for the dial peer. Be sure to specify atm 0/0 as the interface for the PVC.

Use word to identify the PVC if a word name was assigned when the PVC was created in the Configuring ATM on Cisco 2600 Series.

Use word to identify the PVC if a word name was assigned when the PVC was created in the Configuring ATM on Cisco 3660.

 
Step 5
Router(config-dial-peer)# codec aal2 profile itut |custom profile-number codec 

Specifies a codec profile for the DSP.

Profile options are itut 1, itut 2, itut 7, custom 100, and custom 110.

The default is itut 1 with codec G.711 u-law.

See the "Command Reference" section for the codec options available for each AAL2 profile.

Note    Use this command instead of the codec (dial-peer)command for AAL2 trunk applications.
 
Step 6
Router(config-dial-peer)# dtmf-relay 

(Optional) If the codec type is a low bit-rate codec such as g729 or g723, specify support for dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) relay to improve end-to-end transport of DTMF tones. DTMF tones do not always propagate reliably with low bit-rate codecs.

DTMF relay is disabled by default.

 
Step 7
Router(config-dial-peer)# signal-type ext-signal transparent 

(Optional) Defines the type of ABCD signaling packets that are generated by the voice port and sent over the ATM network. The signal type must be configured to the same setting at both ends of the PVC.

Enter ext-signal for common channel signaling (CCS). ABCD signaling packets are not sent.

Enter transparent for nonswitched trunks using channel associated signaling (CAS). ABCD signaling bits are passed transparently to the ATM network.

 
Step 8
Router(config-dial-peer)# no vad 

(Optional) Disables voice activity detection (VAD) on the dial peer. VAD is enabled by default.

 
Step 9
Router(config-dial-peer)# exit 

Exits from the dial-peer configuration mode.

 
Step 10
Repeat Step 1 through Step 9
 

Configures additional VoATM dial peers.

Configuration Tasks for AAL2 Trunking with CCS

See the following sections for configuration tasks for AAL2 Trunking with CCS on Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3660:

Configuring ATM on the Cisco 2600 Series

This section describes the ATM configuration tasks necessary to support Voice over ATM using AAL2 on Cisco 2600 series.


Note
If any DS0 groups (CAS groups), channel groups, or clear channels are configured on T1/E1 controller 0, you must remove them before configuring VoATM. Because ATM uses all of the DS0 time slots on the controller, the ATM configuration cannot take place if any DS0s on controller 0 are used by other applications.

You must perform the VoATM configuration on the Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 concentrators at both ends of the ATM link.


Note
When verifying your ATM PVC connectivity, note that you cannot enter the ping command over a voice PVC, because the command applies to data only. If you have data and voice PVCs set to the same destination, you can enter the ping command over the data PVC.

To configure a Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 series concentrator to support VoATM on a T1/E1 trunk, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# controller t1 e1 0/0

2.    Router(config-controller)# mode atm

3.    Router(config-controller)# framing framing type

8.    Router(config-if)# pvcword ] { vpi/vci | vci

9.    Router ( config-if-atm-vc ) # encapsulation aal2

10.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rtpeak-rate average-rate [ burst

11.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam-pvc manage] [ frequency

12.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retryup-count down-count retry-frequency

13.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# end

14.    Router# show atm vc


DETAILED STEPS

Creates an ATM PVC for voice traffic and enters ATM virtual circuit configuration mode.

vpi= 0 to 255

vci= 1 to 1023

word= optional PVC identifier (letters only); if you assign a PVC identifier, you can use it to specify this PVC when configuring network dial peers

Note    AAL2 encap is not supported for ilmi and qsaal PVCs.
 
Step 9
Router ( config-if-atm-vc ) # encapsulation aal2 

Sets the encapsulation of the PVC to support AAL2 voice traffic. This automatically creates channel identifiers (CIDs) 1 through 255.

 
Step 10
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rtpeak-rate average-rate [ burst 

Configures the PVC for variable-bit-rate real-time (voice) traffic. Guidelines for setting the peak rate, average rate, and burst size are as follows:

  • peak-rate--If it does not exceed your carrier's allowable rate, set to the line rate (for example, 1536 kbps for T1-ATM).
  • average-rate--Calculate according to the maximum number of calls the PVC will carry times the bandwidth per call. The following formulas give you the average rate in kbps:

G.711 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 85

G.726 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 43

G.729 with 30 byte sample size--max calls x 15

G.729 with 20 byte sample size--max calls x 22

G.729 with 30 byte sample size--max calls x 15

If voice activity detection (VAD) is enabled, the bandwidth usage is reduced by as much as 12 percent with the maximum number of calls in progress. With fewer calls in progress, bandwidth savings are less.

  • burst--Set the burst size as large as possible, and never less than the minimum burst size.

Guidelines are as follows:

The minimum burst size is 4 x the number of voice calls.

The maximum burst size is the maximum allowed by the carrier.

Configuring a CAC Master for AAL2 Voice

This section describes the configuration tasks necessary to configure call admission control (CAC) for AAL2 voice. The commands and procedures in this section are common to the Cisco 2600 series and the Cisco 3660.

You can configure a Cisco 2600 series router or a Cisco 3660 as either a CAC master or a CAC slave. By default, this is a CAC slave. You typically configure a CAC master at one end of an ATM trunk and a CAC slave at the opposite end. A Cisco 2600 series router or a Cisco 3660 configured as a master always performs CAC during fax/modem upspeed. A Cisco 2600 series router or a Cisco 3660 configured as a slave sends a request for CAC to the CAC master.

To configure a Cisco 2600 series router or a Cisco 3660 as a CAC master, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# voice service voatm

2.    Router(config-voice-service)# session protocol aal2

Configuring Dial Peers for AAL2 Voice

For more information on dial peers and dial-peer configuration, see the "Configuring Voice over ATM" chapter in the Cisco IOS Multiservice Applications Configuration Guide, Release 12.1.

Configuring Network Dial Peers to Support AAL2

To configure a network dial peer for Voice over ATM (VoATM), specify a unique tag number, an atm, a virtual circuit number, and channel identifier (CID).

To configure VoATM dial peers, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# dial-peer voicetag voatm

2.    Router(config-dial-peer)# destination-pattern string

3.    Router(config-dial-peer)# session protocol aal2-trunk

4.    Router(config-dial-peer)# session target atm 0/0 pvc word | vpi/vci | vci } cid

5.    Router(config-dial-peer)# codec aal2 profile itut |custom profile-number codec

6.    Router(config-dial-peer)# dtmf-relay

7.    Router(config-dial-peer)# signal-type ext-signal transparent

8.    Router(config-dial-peer)# no vad

9.    Router(config-dial-peer)# exit

10.    Repeat Step 1 through Step 9


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
Router(config)# dial-peer voicetag voatm 

Defines a VoATM dial peer for VoATM and enter dial-peer configuration mode.

The tag identifies the dial peer. Each tag on any one router must be unique.

 
Step 2
Router(config-dial-peer)# destination-pattern string 

Configures the dial peer's destination pattern.

The string is a series of digits that specify the E.164 or private dialing plan telephone number. Valid entries are the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through D. The following special characters can be entered in the string:

  • The star (*) and the pound sign (#) can be used in a dial string, but not as leading characters (for example *650 is not permitted).
  • The period (.) can be entered as a wildcard digit. Network dial peers typically use wildcards to represent a range of destination telephone numbers (for example, 1408555.... for all numbers in area code 408 with the 555 prefix).
  • The comma (,) can be used only in prefixes, and is used to insert a 1-second pause.
  • The timer (T) character can be used to configure variable-length dial plans.
 
Step 3
Router(config-dial-peer)# session protocol aal2-trunk 

Configures the session protocol to support AAL2-trunk permanent (private line) trunk calls.

 
Step 4
Router(config-dial-peer)# session target atm 0/0 pvc word | vpi/vci | vci } cid

Example:

(for Cisco 2600 series)



Example:

For Cisco 3660:



Example:

router(config-dial-peer)# session target atm <slot>/ima <group#>

 

Configures the ATM session target for the dial peer. Be sure to specify atm 0/0 as the interface for the PVC.

Use word to identify the PVC if a word name was assigned when the PVC was created in the Configuring ATM on Cisco 2600 Series.

Use word to identify the PVC if a word name was assigned when the PVC was created in the Configuring ATM on Cisco 3660.

 
Step 5
Router(config-dial-peer)# codec aal2 profile itut |custom profile-number codec 

Specifies a codec profile for the DSP.

Profile options are itut 1, itut 2, itut 7, custom 100, and custom 110.

The default is itut 1 with codec G.711 u-law.

See the "Command Reference" section for the codec options available for each AAL2 profile.

Note    Use this command instead of the codec (dial-peer)command for AAL2 trunk applications.
 
Step 6
Router(config-dial-peer)# dtmf-relay 

(Optional) If the codec type is a low bit-rate codec such as g729 or g723, specify support for DTMF relay to improve end-to-end transport of DTMF tones. DTMF tones do not always propagate reliably with low bit-rate codecs.

DTMF relay is disabled by default.

 
Step 7
Router(config-dial-peer)# signal-type ext-signal transparent 

(Optional) Defines the type of ABCD signaling packets that are generated by the voice port and sent over the ATM network. The signal type must be configured to the same setting at both ends of the PVC.

Enter ext-signal for common channel signaling (CCS). ABCD signaling packets are not sent.

Enter transparent for nonswitched trunks using channel associated signaling (CAS). ABCD signaling bits are passed transparently to the ATM network.

 
Step 8
Router(config-dial-peer)# no vad 

(Optional) Disables voice activity detection (VAD) on the dial peer. VAD is enabled by default.

 
Step 9
Router(config-dial-peer)# exit 

Exits from the dial-peer configuration mode.

 
Step 10
Repeat Step 1 through Step 9
 

Configures additional VoATM dial peers.

  • peak rate--If it does not exceed your carrier's allowable rate, set to the line rate (for example, 1536 kbps for T1-ATM).
  • average rate--Calculate according to the maximum number of calls the PVC will carry times the bandwidth per call. The following formulas give you the average rate in kbps:

For VoIP:

G.711 with 169 or 80 byte sample size: max calls x 128K

G.726 with 40 byte sample size: max calls x 85K

G.729a with 10 byte sample size: max calls x 85K

For VoAAL2:

G.711 with 40 byte sample size: max calls x 85K

G.726 with 40 byte sample size: max calls x 43K

G.729a with 30 byte sample size: max calls x 15K

If voice activity detection (VAD) is enabled, the bandwidth usage is reduced by as much as 12 percent with the maximum number of calls in progress. With fewer calls in progress, bandwidth savings are less.

  • burst-- Set the burst size as large as possible, and never less than the minimum burst size. Guidelines are as follows:

The minimum burst size is 4 times the number of voice calls.

The maximum burst size is the maximum allowed by the carrier.

Configuring ATM on the Cisco 2600 Series

This section describes the ATM configuration tasks necessary to support Voice over ATM using AAL2 on Cisco 2600 series.


Note
If any DS0 groups (CAS groups), channel groups, or clear channels are configured on T1/E1 controller 0, you must remove them before configuring VoATM. Because ATM uses all the DS-0 time slots on the controller, the ATM configuration cannot take place if any DS0s on controller 0 are used by other applications.

You must perform the VoATM configuration on the Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 concentrators at both ends of the ATM link.


Note
When verifying your ATM PVC connectivity, note that you cannot enter the ping command over a voice PVC, because the command applies to data only. If you have data and voice PVCs set to the same destination, you can enter the ping command over the data PVC.

To configure a Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 series concentrator to support VoATM on a T1/E1 trunk, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# controller t1 e1 0/0

2.    Router(config-controller)# mode atm

3.    Router(config-controller)# framing framing type

7.    Router(config)# interface atm slot/port subinterface-number multipoint |point-to-point]]

8.    Router(config-if)# pvcword ] { vpi/vci | vci

9.    Router ( config-if-atm-vc ) # encapsulation aal2

10.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rtpeak-rate average-rate [ burst

11.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam-pvc manage] [ frequency

12.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retryup-count down-count retry-frequency

13.    Router(config-if-atm-vc)# end

14.    Router# show atm vc


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
Router(config)# controller t1 e1 0/0 

Selects the T1 or E1 controller 0/0.

 
Step 2
Router(config-controller)# mode atm

Example:

 

Specifies that the controller will support ATM encapsulation and create ATM interface 0/0.

 
Step 3
Router(config-controller)# framing framing type 

Specifies the T1 framing type as extended super frame or esf.

When the controller is set to ATM mode, the Controller framing is automatically set to Extended SuperFrame (esf) on T1 and to crc4 on E1.

 
Step 4
Router(config-controller)# linecode linecode type 

Specifies the T1 linecode type as b8zs.

The linecode is automatically set to b8zs on T1 and to hdb3 on E1.

 
Step 5
Router(config-controller)# no shutdown 

Ensures that the controller is activated.

 
Step 6
Router(config-controller)# exit 

Exits controller configuration mode.

 
Step 7
Router(config)# interface atm slot/port subinterface-number multipoint |point-to-point]]  

Enters interface configuration mode to configure ATM interface 0/0 or an ATM subinterface.

For subinterfaces, the default is multipoint.

 
Step 8
Router(config-if)# pvcword ] { vpi/vci | vci 

Creates an ATM PVC for voice traffic and enters ATM virtual circuit configuration mode.

vpi= 0 to 255

vci= 1 to 1023

word= optional PVC identifier (letters only); if you assign a PVC identifier, you can use it to specify this PVC when configuring network dial peers

Note    AAL2 encap is not supported for ilmi and qsaal PVCs.
 
Step 9
Router ( config-if-atm-vc ) # encapsulation aal2 

Sets the encapsulation of the PVC to support AAL2 voice traffic. This automatically creates channel identifiers (CIDs) 1 through 255.

 
Step 10
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rtpeak-rate average-rate [ burst 

Configures the PVC for variable-bit-rate real-time (voice) traffic. Guidelines for setting the peak rate, average rate, and burst size are as follows:

  • peak-rate--If it does not exceed your carrier's allowable rate, set to the line rate (for example, 1536 kbps for T1-ATM).
  • average-rate--Calculate according to the maximum number of calls the PVC will carry times the bandwidth per call. The following formulas give you the average rate in kbps:

G.711 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 85

G.726 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 43

G.729 with 30 byte sample size--max calls x 15

G.729 with 20 byte sample size--max calls x 22

G.729 with 30 byte sample size--max calls x 15

If voice activity detection (VAD) is enabled, the bandwidth usage is reduced by as much as 12 percent with the maximum number of calls in progress. With fewer calls in progress, bandwidth savings are less.

  • burst--Set the burst size as large as possible, and never less than the minimum burst size.

Guidelines are as follows:

The minimum burst size is 4 x the number of voice calls.

The maximum burst size is the maximum allowed by the carrier.

The range for frequency is 0 to 600. The default is 10.

 
Step 12
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retryup-count down-count retry-frequency 

(Optional) Specifies OAM management parameters for verifying connectivity of a PVC connection. This command is supported only if OAM management is enabled.

  • The value of up-count is the number of OAM loopback cell responses received to change the PVC connection to up. The range is 1 to 600; the default is 3.
  • The value of down-count is the number of OAM loopback cell responses not received to change the PVC connection to down. The range is 1 to 600; the default is 5.
  • The value of retry-frequency is the number of seconds between loopback cells sent to verify the down state of a PVC. The range is 1 to 1000; the default is 1.
Note    Enter the oam retry command only once with all the arguments in the order shown. The first number always specifies up-count ; the second down-count , and the third retry-frequency .
 
Step 13
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# end 

Exits configuration mode.

 
Step 14
Router# show atm vc 

Verifies the ATM PVC configuration.

Configuring ATM on the Cisco 2600 Series

This section describes the ATM configuration tasks necessary to support Voice over ATM using AAL2 on Cisco 2600 series.


Note
If any DS0 groups (CAS groups), channel groups, or clear channels are configured on T1/E1 controller 0, you must remove them before configuring VoATM. Because ATM uses all of the DS0 time slots on the controller, the ATM configuration cannot take place if any DS0s on controller 0 are used by other applications.

You must perform the VoATM configuration on the Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 concentrators at both ends of the ATM link.


Note
When verifying your ATM PVC connectivity, note that you cannot enter the ping command over a voice PVC because the command applies to data only. If you have data and voice PVCs set to the same destination, you can enter the ping command over the data PVC.

To configure a Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 series concentrator to support VoATM on a T1/E1 trunk, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# controller t1 e1 0/0

Example:

 

Specifies that the controller will support ATM encapsulation and create ATM interface 0/0.

 
Step 3
Router(config-controller)# framing framing type 

Specifies the T1 framing type as Extended SuperFrame (esf).

When the controller is set to ATM mode, the Controller framing is automatically set to Extended SuperFrame (esf) on T1 and to crc4 on E1.

 
Step 4
Router(config-controller)# linecode linecode type 

Specifies the T1 linecode type as b8zs.

The linecode is automatically set to b8zs on T1 and to hdb3 on E1.

 
Step 5
Router(config-controller)# no shutdown 

Ensures that the controller is activated.

 
Step 6
Router(config-controller)# exit 

Exits controller configuration mode.

 
Step 7
Router(config)# interface atm slot/port subinterface-number multipoint |point-to-point]]  

Enters interface configuration mode to configure ATM interface 0/0 or an ATM subinterface.

Step 8
Router(config-if)# pvcword ] { vpi/vci | vci 

Creates an ATM PVC for voice traffic and enters ATM virtual circuit configuration mode.

vpi= 0 to 255

vci= 1 to 1023

word= optional PVC identifier (letters only); if you assign a PVC identifier, you can use it to specify this PVC when configuring network dial peers

Note    AAL2 encap is not supported for ilmi and qsaal PVCs.
 
Step 9
Router ( config-if-atm-vc ) # encapsulation aal2 

Sets the encapsulation of the PVC to support AAL2 voice traffic. This automatically creates channel identifiers (CIDs) 1 through 255.

 
Step 10
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rtpeak-rate average-rate [ burst 

Configures the PVC for variable-bit-rate real-time (voice) traffic. Guidelines for setting the peak rate, average rate, and burst size are as follows:

  • peak-rate--If it does not exceed your carrier's allowable rate, set to the line rate (for example, 1536 kbps for T1-ATM).
  • average-rate--Calculate according to the maximum number of calls the PVC will carry times the bandwidth per call. The following formulas give you the average rate in kbps:

G.711 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 85

G.726 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 43

G.729 with 30 byte sample size--max calls x 15

G.729 with 20 byte sample size--max calls x 22

DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
Router(config)# interface atm slot/ima grp# [subinterface-number [multipoint | point-to-point]] 

Enters interface configuration mode to configure ATM interface 0/0 or an ATM subinterface.

Note    To configure an IMA group on each ATM interface, enter the IMA group and group number.

The default for subinterfaces is multipoint.

For all Scenarios : Set up three subinterfaces for point-to-point.

 
Step 2
Router(config-if)# pvc [name] vpi/vci 

Creates an ATM PVC for voice traffic and enters ATM virtual circuit configuration mode.

Note    AAL2 encap is not supported for ilmi and qsaal PVCs.
 
Step 3
Router ( config-if-atm-vc ) # encapsulation aal2 

Sets the encapsulation of the PVC to support AAL2 voice traffic. This automatically creates channel identifiers (CIDs) 1 through 255.

 
Step 4
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rtpeak-rate average-rate [ burst 

Configures the PVC for variable-bit-rate real-time (voice) traffic. Guidelines for setting the peak rate, average rate, and burst size are as follows:

  • peak rate--If it does not exceed your carrier's allowable rate, set to the line rate (for example, 1536 kbps for T1-ATM).
  • average rate--Calculate according to the maximum number of calls the PVC will carry times the bandwidth per call. The following formulas give you the average rate in kbps:

G.711 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 85

G.726 with 40 or 80 byte sample size--max calls x 43

G.729 with 30 byte sample size--max calls x 15

G.729 with 20 byte sample size--max calls x 22

G.729 with 10 byte sample size--max calls x 43

If voice activity detection (VAD) is enabled, the bandwidth usage is reduced by as much as 12 percent with the maximum number of calls in progress. With fewer calls in progress, bandwidth savings are less.

  • burst size--Set the burst size as large as possible, and never less than the minimum burst size. Guidelines are as follows:

The minimum burst size is 4 x the number of voice calls.

The maximum burst size is the maximum allowed by the carrier.

You can calculate the value using the calculator at the following URL:

http://www-vnt/SPUniv/DSP/Codec_Calc1.asp

 
Step 5
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam-pvc manage] [ frequency 

(Optional) Configures transmission of end-to-end F5 OAM loopback cells on a PVC, optionally specify the number of seconds between loopback cells, and optionally enable OAM management of the connection.

The range for frequency is 0 to 600. The default is 10.

 
Step 6
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# oam retryup-count down-count retry-frequency 

(Optional) Specifies OAM management parameters for verifying connectivity of a PVC connection. This command is supported only if OAM management is enabled.

  • The value of up-count is the number of OAM loopback cell responses received to change the PVC connection to up. The range is 1 to 600; the default is 3.
  • The value of down-count is the number of OAM loopback cell responses not received to change the PVC connection to down. The range is 1 to 600; the default is 5.
  • The value of retry-frequency is the number of seconds between loopback cells sent to verify the down state of a PVC. The range is 1 to 1000; the default is 1.
Note    Enter the oam retry command only once with all the arguments in the order shown. The first number always specifies up-count ; the second down-count , and the third retry-frequency .
 
Step 7

Exits configuration mode.

 
Step 8
Router# show atm vc 

Verifies the ATM PVC configuration.

 
Step 9
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# vbr-rtpeak-rateaverage-rate [burst ] 

Configures the PVC for the variable-bit-rate real-time (voice) traffic. Guidelines for setting the peak rate, average rate, and burst size are as follows:

  • peak rate--If it does not exceed your carrier's allowable rate, set to the line rate (for example, 1536 kbps for T1-ATM).
  • average rate--Calculate according to the maximum number of calls (max calls) the PVC will carry times the bandwidth per call. The following formulas give you the average rate in kbps:

for VoIP:

G.711 with 40 or 80 byte sample size: max calls x 128K

G.726 with 40 byte sample size: max calls x 85K

G.729a with 10 byte sample size: max calls x 85K

for VoAAL2:

G.711 with 40 byte sample size: max calls x 85K

G.726 with 40 byte sample size: max calls x 43K

G.729a with 10 byte sample size: max calls x 43K

If voice activity detection (VAD) is enabled, the bandwidth usage is reduced by a s much as 12 percent with the maximum number of calls in progress. With fewer calls in progress, bandwidth savings are less.

  • burst--Set the burst size as large as possible, and never less than the minimum burst size. Guidelines are as follows:

The minimum burst size is 4 x the number of voice calls.

The maximum burst size is the maximum allowed by the carrier.

You can calculate the value using the calculator at the following URL:

Configuring a CAC Master for AAL2 Voice

This section describes the configuration tasks necessary to configure call admission control (CAC) for AAL2 voice. The commands and procedures in this section are common to the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3660.

You can configure a Cisco 2600 series router or a Cisco 3660 as either a CAC master or a CAC slave. By default, this is a CAC slave. You typically configure a CAC master at one end of an ATM trunk and a CAC slave at the opposite end. A Cisco 2600 series router or a Cisco 3660 configured as a master always performs CAC during fax/modem upspeed. A Cisco 2600 series router or a Cisco 3660 configured as a slave sends a request for CAC to the CAC master.

Configuring Backhaul Session Manager

The backhaul session manager operates on the media gateway and enables signaling applications to backhaul signaling information to a remote or local virtual switch controller (VSC), and also provides redundancy and transparent management of transport paths.

To configure the backhaul session manager, log on to the media gateway and complete the following tasks as required for your application:

Creating Session Sets and Groups and Sessions

To create session sets, session groups, and sessions on the Cisco media gateway, complete the following steps starting in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# backhaul-session-manager

2.    Router(config-bsm)# set set-name client ft nft

3.    Router(config-bsm)# group group-name set set-name

4.    Router(config-bsm)# session groupgroup-name remote_ip remote_port local_ip local_port priorit y


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
Router(config)# backhaul-session-manager 

Enters backhaul session manager configuration mode.

 
Step 2
Router(config-bsm)# set set-name client ft nft 

Creates a session set and specifies its parameters:

  • set-name --A word you select to identify the session-set
  • client --Required for PRI backhaul; specifies that the session set function as a client
  • Fault-tolerance option:
    • ft = fault-tolerant
    • nft = non-fault-tolerant
Note    For fault-tolerant operation, you must configure more than one group in this session set. If only one group will be configured in this session-set, you must specify nft.
Note    If you configure the session set for non-fault-tolerant operation, you should also configure the Cisco VSC3000 for non-fault-tolerant operation. See the Configuring the Cisco VSC3000.
 
Step 3
Router(config-bsm)# group group-name set set-name 

Adds a new session group to a specified session set.

  • group-name --A word you select to identify the new session group
  • set-name --The session-set to which you are adding the new session group

Repeat this step to add additional session groups to a session set.

 
Step 4
Router(config-bsm)# session groupgroup-name remote_ip remote_port local_ip local_port priorit y 

Adds a session to a session group and specifies the interfaces and selection priority for the session.

  • group-name --The session group to which you are adding this session.
  • remote_ip --IP address of the Cisco VSC3000 server at the remote end of this backhaul link.
  • remote_port --The UDP port number on the Cisco VSC3000 server at the remote end of this backhaul link; the range is 1024 to 9999. Make sure that this number is not already being used by another service on the Cisco VSC3000, such as MGCP.
  • local_ip --The IP address of the media gateway port used for signaling backhaul.
  • local_port --The UDP port number of the media gateway port used for signaling backhaul; the range is 1024 to 9999
  • priority --The priority within the session group. The range is 0 to 9999; 0 is the highest priority.
Note    Although the Cisco IOS software allows you to configure multiple sessions with the same priority in a session group, Cisco Systems recommends that the priority of each session be unique within a session group.

Repeat this step to create additional sessions in a session group.

 

Changing Default Values of Session-Group Parameters

If you need to change the default values of session-group parameters, complete the following commands as required, in backhaul-session-manager configuration mode:

Configuring Fast Ethernet for Signaling Backhaul Compatibility

If your media gateway has 10/100 BASE-T Fast Ethernet capability, configure the Fast Ethernet interface not to use auto negotiation.


Caution

When the Fast Ethernet interface is configured for auto-negotiation, it can take up to 2 seconds for this interface to be enabled when the interface has to initialize. Two examples where the interface initializes are execution of the no shut command and disconnection or reconnection of the Ethernet cable. Auto-negotiation affects the traffic flow on the Ethernet interface and can, therefore, interrupt the traffic flow on existing RUDP connections, causing them to fail. To avoid these problems, the Fast Ethernet interface should not be configured for auto-negotiation. Instead, set the duplex and speed parameters according to the requirements of the network.

To reconfigure the Fast Ethernet interface for specified duplex and speed operation, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# intEthernet-port-number

2.    Router(config-if)# duplex full half

3.    Router(config-if)# speed 10 100}

Step 4
Router(config-if)# exit 

Exits from interface configuration mode.

 

Configuring the Cisco VSC3000

The Cisco VSC3000 is the signaling controller software that provides call control and runs on a UNIX server such as a Sun Netra 1800. Man Machine Language (MML) is the user interface into the signaling controller software. You use this interface to configure parameters of your signaling controller software and to display information about the current settings.


Note
If the Cisco VSC3000 is set up for fault-tolerant operation, configure the backhaul session manager also for fault-tolerant operation. For more information, refer to the Cisco MGC Software Release 7 Provisioning Guide .

Verifying the Configuration

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Enter the show isdn statuscommand to verify successful ISDN configuration for backhaul. The following output shows that Layers 1, 2, 3 are enabled and active. Layer 3 shows the number of active ISDN calls.

2.    Enter the show backhaul-session-manager set all command to display all session sets. This set contains one group called grp1, and it is configured in fault-tolerant mode.

3.    Enter the show backhaul-session-manager group status all command to display the status of all session-groups.

4.    Enter the show backhaul-session-manager session all command to display all sessions.


DETAILED STEPS
Step 1   Enter the show isdn statuscommand to verify successful ISDN configuration for backhaul. The following output shows that Layers 1, 2, 3 are enabled and active. Layer 3 shows the number of active ISDN calls.

In the example below, notice that the Layer 2 protocol is Q.921, and the Layer 3 protocol is BACKHAUL. This verifies that it is configured to backhaul ISDN. Also, if you are connected to a live line, you should see that Layer 1 status is ACTIVE and that layer 2 state is MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED. This means that the ISDN line is up and active.



Example: 
Router# show isdn status
*00:03:34.423 UTC Sat Jan 1 2000
Global ISDN Switchtype = primary-net5
ISDN Serial1:23 interface
        dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = primary-net5
        L2 Protocol = Q.921  L3 Protocol(s) = BACKHAUL
    Layer 1 Status:        ACTIVE    Layer 2 Status:
        TEI = 0, Ces = 1, SAPI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
    Layer 3 Status:
        NLCB:callid=0x0, callref=0x0, state=31, ces=0 event=0x0
        NLCB:callid=0x0, callref=0x0, state=0, ces=1 event=0x0
        0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
    Activated dsl 0 CCBs = 0
    Number of active calls = 0
    Number of available B-channels = 23
    Total Allocated ISDN CCBs = 0
Router#
Step 2   Enter the show backhaul-session-manager set all command to display all session sets. This set contains one group called grp1, and it is configured in fault-tolerant mode.

Example: 
Router# show backhaul-session-manager set all
Session-Set
   Name   :set1
   State  :BSM_SET_OOS
 
   Mode   :Fault-Tolerant(FT) 
   Option :Option-Client
   Groups :1
   statistics 
        Successful switchovers:0 
        Switchover Failures:0 
        Set Down Count 0 
        Group:grp1

Possible states are:

SESS_SET_IDLE--A session set has been created.

SESS_SET_OOS--A session has been added to session group. No ACTIVE notification has been received from the Cisco VSC3000.

SESS_SET_ACTIVE_IS--An ACTIVE notification has been received over one in-service session group. STANDBY notification has not been received on any available session group(s).

SESS_SET_STNDBY_IS--A STANDBY notification is received, but no in-service active session group available.

SESS_SET_FULL_IS--A session group in-service that has ACTIVE notification, and at least one session group in-service has STANDBY notification.

SESS_SET_SWITCH_OVER--An ACTIVE notification is received on session group in-service, that had received STANDBY notification.

Step 3   Enter the show backhaul-session-manager group status all command to display the status of all session-groups.

The status is either Group-OutOfService (no session in the group has been established) or Group-Inservice (at least one session in the group has been established).

The Status (use) is either Group-Standby (the Cisco VSC3000 connected to the other end of this group will go into standby mode), Group-Active (the Cisco VSC3000 connected to the other end of this group will be the active Cisco VSC3000), or Group-None (the Cisco VSC3000 has not declared its intent yet).



Example: 
Router# show backhaul-session-manager group status all
Session-Group
Group Name   :grp1
   Set Name     :set1
   Status       :Group-OutOfService
   Status (use) :Group-None
Step 4   Enter the show backhaul-session-manager session all command to display all sessions.

The State is OPEN (the connection is established), OPEN_WAIT (the connection is awaiting establishment), OPEN_XFER (session failover is in progress for this session, which is a transient state), or CLOSE (this session is down, also a transient state). The session moves to OPEN_WAIT after waiting a fixed amount of time.

The Use-status field indicates whether PRI signaling traffic is being transported over this session. The field will be either OOS (this session is not being used to transport signaling traffic) or IS (this session is being used currently to transport all PRI signaling traffic). The User-status field indicates the connection status.



Example: 
Router# show backhaul-session-manager session all

Configuring MGCP POTS Dial Peer

To configure MGCP POTS dial peer on the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3660, complete the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Router(config)# dial-peer voice number pots

2.    Router(config-dial-peer)# application MGCPAPP

3.    Router(config-dial-peer)# port slot/port:ds0-group

4.    Router(config-dial-peer)# exit


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
Router(config)# dial-peer voice number pots 

Enters the dial-peer configuration mode for the POTS dial peer.

 
Step 2
Router(config-dial-peer)# application MGCPAPP 

Initiates MGCP for the voice ports.

 
Step 3
Router(config-dial-peer)# port slot/port:ds0-group


Example:

 

Associates the dial peer with a specific logical interface.

The value of slot is the router location where the voice port adapter is installed. Valid entries are from 0 to 3.

The value of port indicates the voice interface card location. Valid entries are 0 or 1.

Each defined DS0 group number is represented on a separate voice port. This allows you to define individual DS0s on the digital T1/E1 card.

 
Step 4
Router(config-dial-peer)# exit 

Exits dial-peer configuration mode.

 

Monitoring and Maintaining

Monitoring MGCP CAS PBX and AAL2 PVC Configurations

Use these commands at any time to monitor the MGCP configuration:

Command

Purpose

 
Router# show mgcp 
connection
 | endpoint
 | statistics

Displays all active MGCP connections on the router.

 
Router# debug mgcp [all | errors | events | packets | parser]

Turns on debugging for the gateway.

 
Router# clear mgcp statistics

Resets the MGCP statistical counters.

Monitoring and Maintaining Signaling Backhaul

Use the following commands as required to monitor and maintain the signaling backhaul sessions and the connection to the Cisco VSC3000:

Command

Purpose

 
Router# clear backhaul-session-manager group

Resets the statistics for all available session groups or a specified session group.

 
Router# show backhaul-session-manager set

Displays status, statistics, or configuration of all available session sets.

 
Router# show backhaul-session-manager group

Displays status, statistics, or configuration of all available session groups.

 
Router# show backhaul-session-manager session

Displays status, statistics, or configuration of all available sessions.

 
Router# show isdn status

Displays status of ISDN backhaul. If the connection to the Cisco VSC3000 is lost, the router shuts down Layer 2 so that it cannot receive more calls. When the Cisco VSC3000 connection is back up, you may use this to verify that Layer 2 was also brought back up correctly.

Glossary

AAL --ATM adaptat ion layer. Service-dependent sublayer of the data link layer. The AAL accepts data from different applications and presents it to the ATM layer in the form of 48-byte ATM payload segments. AALs consist of two sublayers: CS and SAR. AALs differ on the basis of the source-destination timing used, whether they use CBR or VBR, and whether they are used for connection-oriented or connectionless mode data transfer. At present, the four types of AAL recommended by the ITU-T are AAL1, AAL2, AAL3/4, and AAL5.

AAL2 --ATM adap tation layer 2. One of four AALs recommended by the ITU-T. AAL2 is used for connection-oriented services that support a variable bit rate, such as some isochronous video and voice traffic.

ATM-- Asynchronous Transfer Mode. International standard for cell relay in which multiple service types (such as voice, video, or data) are conveyed in fixed-length (53-byte) cells. Fixed-length cells allow cell processing to occur in hardware, thereby reducing transit delays. ATM is designed to take advantage of high-speed transmission media such as E3, SONET, and T3.

Backhaul --A scheme where telephony signaling is reliably transported from a gateway to a Media Gateway Controller across a packet switched network.

BGW --see Business Gateway

Business Gateway --An xGCP media gateway which is a business customer premises equipment that has connection(s) to the VoIP network as well as connection(s) to the user's telephony equipment (typically a PBX, a corporate LAN or WAN). Such gateways are used to eliminate or reduce the need for individual medium (voice, data, and so forth) connectivity.

CA --see Call Agent

Call Agent --An intelligent entity in an IP telephony network which handles call control in an MGCP model Voice over IP network.

CAS --channel associated signaling. A form of signaling that the circuit state is indicated by one or more bits of signaling status sent repetitively and associated with that specific circuit. CAS is used on a T1 line. With CAS, a signaling element is dedicated to each channel in the T1 frame. This type of signaling is sometimes called Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) because a bit is taken out (or robbed) from the user's data stream to provide signaling information to and from the switch.

CBR--constant bit rate. QoS class defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks. CBR is used for connections that depend on precise clocking to ensure undistorted delivery.

CCS --common channel signaling. A signaling system used in telephone networks that separates signaling information from user data. A specified channel is exclusively designated to carry signaling information for all other channels in the system.

CID --channel identifier

CLASS --Custom Local Area Subscriber Services, usually referred to as "Custom Calling" features

Codec --Coder-decoder. Device that typically uses pulse code modulation to transform analog signals into a digital bit stream and digital signals back into analog signals. In Voice over ATM, it specifies the voice coder rate of speech for a dial peer.

Dial peer --An addressable call endpoint. In Voice over ATM, there are two kinds of dial peers: POTS and VoATM.

DS-0 --digital signal level 0. Framing specification used in transmitting digital signals over a single channel at 64-kbps on a T1 facility. A 64-K B-channel on an E1 or T1 WAN interface.

DTMF --dual tone multifrequency. A type of signaling that combines two distinct frequencies to generate a tone for each digit or character dialed. Sometimes referred to as Touchtone. This analog dial signaling uses two distinct tones to represent dialing digits.

E&M --Stands for 2-wire or 4-wire interfaces with separate signaling paths (from "Ear and Mouth", also "recEive and transMit"). E&M is a trunking arrangement generally used for two-way switch-to-switch or switch-to-network connections. Cisco's analog E&M interface is an RJ-48 connector that allows connections to PBX trunk lines (tie lines). E&M connections are also available on E1 and T1 digital interfaces.

Fault Tolerance --The level of ability within a system to operate properly even if errors occur.

FXO --Foreign Exchange Office. An FXO interface connects to the PSTN's central office and is the interface offered on a standard telephone. Cisco's FXO interface is an RJ-11 connector that allows an analog connection to be directed at the PSTN's central office. This interface is of value for off-premise extension applications.

FXS --Foreign Exchange Station. An FXS interface connects directly to a standard telephone and supplies ring, voltage, and dial tone. Cisco's FXS interface is an RJ-11 connector that allows connections to basic telephone service equipment, keysets, and PBXs.

Layer 1 --This describes the Physical Layer of the OSI Reference Model defined in ITU X.200. It is responsible for the electric signal being sent and received. This can be viewed as a bit stream coming in, and going out, of the system. Scope must be considered when using this term. For example, Layer 1 on a T1 is 1.544 Mbps but Layer 1 on a DS-0 timeslot in the T1 is 64 kbps.

Layer 2 --This describes the Datalink Layer of the OSI Reference Model defined in ITU X.200. It is responsible for point-to-point delivery of a PDU. Layer 2 protocols have two basic classes: reliable (meaning delivery is guaranteed or an error is reported) and unreliable (meaning delivery may not occur with no indication to the upper layers).

Layer 3 --This describes the Network Layer of the OSI Reference Model defined in ITU X.200. It is responsible for the network routing and delivery of a message. Examples of Layer 3 protocols include X.25 Packet Layer Protocol and the Internet Protocol. Q.931 is not considered a Layer 3 protocol because it is not concerned with routing and delivery of a message but rather the message body itself.

Media Gateway --Equipment that connects the PSTN or a PBX with the VoIP network. It is controlled by a Call Agent via MGCP. A Media Gateway terminates facilities (trunks), packetizes the PCM stream into IP/ATM and/or forwards packets into the IP/ATM network. It performs these functions in reverse order for media streams flowing from the packet network to the PSTN.

MG --see Media Gateway.

MGC --Media Gateway Controller. A Media Gateway Controller provides call control capability to handle signaling traffic from a variety of sources. It also manages connections and resources of its Media Gateways. Can also be called a Call Agent.

MGCP --Media Gateway Control Protocol

Package --A set of parameter values that define a type of voice endpoint or connection. Examples include line-package, trunk-package, dtmf-package, and atm-package.

PBX --private branch exchange. Privately owned central switching office.

PCM--pulse code modulation. Technique of encoding analog voice into a 64-kbit data stream by sampling with eight-bit resolution at a rate of 8000 times per second.

PDU --protocol data unit. OSI term for packet.

PLAR --private line, automatic ringdown. Leased voice circuit that connects two single endpoints together. When either telephone handset is taken off-hook, the remote telephone automatically rings.

POTS --plain old telephone service. Basic telephone service supplying standard single line telephones, telephone lines, and access to the PSTN.

POTS dial peer --Dial peer connected via a traditional telephony network. POTS peers point to a particular voice port on a voice network device.

PRI --primary rate interface. ISDN interface to primary rate access. Primary rate access consists of a single 64-Kbps D channel plus 23 (T1) or 30 (E1) B channels for voice or data.

PSTN --Public Switched Telephone Network. General term referring to the variety of telephone networks and services in place worldwide. Sometimes called POTS.

RSIP--ReStart In Progress. MGCP command used to indicate that a span (or collection of spans) has come into service, has gone out of service, or is about to go out of service.

SPVC --soft permanent virtual circuit. A generic term for any communications medium that is permanently provisioned at the end points, but switched in the middle. In ATM, there are two kind of SPVCs: smart permanent virtual path connections (SPVPCs) and Smart permanent virtual channel connections (SPVCC).
