R1 Modified Signaling for the Cisco AS5800 Access Server
R1 Modified Signaling for the Cisco AS5800 Access Server
Feature Summary
Enabling R1 Modified Signaling allows a Cisco AS5800 universal access server to talk to central office trunks that also use R1 Modified Signaling. R1 Signaling is an international signaling standard that is common to channelized T1/E1 networks; however, Cisco only has made this feature available in Taiwan. You can configure a channelized T1/E1 interface to support different types of R1 Modified Signaling, which is used in older analog telephone networks.
Note
This type of signaling is not the same as ITU R1 signaling; it is R1 signaling modified for Taiwan specifically.
Note
In the future, R1 Modified Signaling will be available in Turkey as well as Taiwan.
Benefits
Cisco now supports native R1 signaling on both E1 and T1 interfaces. This version of software supports R1 signaling customized for Taiwan only. This feature allows enterprises and service providers to fully interoperate with the installed Taiwanese telecommunications standards, providing interoperability in addition to the vast array of Cisco's IOS troubleshooting and diagnostic capability. This will provide customers with a seamless, single-box, solution for their Taiwan signaling requirements.
List of Terms
line signaling—States of call setup on the Trunk A/B/C/D signaling bits.
R1 Trunk—A type of trunk to carry telephony traffic.
register signaling—Multi-frequency tone signaling in the voice channel.
Restrictions
The following are restrictions to the use of R1 Modified Signaling:
•
Because different line signaling uses different A/B/C/D bit definitions to represent the line state, users need to know the configuration of the T1/E1 trunk before configuring the cas-group. If the wrong type of provision is configured, the access server might interpret the wrong A/B/C/D bit definitions and behave strangely.
•
Cisco access servers with Microcom modems cannot support this feature.
Platforms
This feature is supported on the Cisco AS5800 universal access server.
Note
This feature is already available on the Cisco AS5200 and Cisco AS5300 access servers.
Prerequisites
The following are hardware and software prerequisites to enable R1 Modified Signaling:
•
Cisco AS5800 access server (without a Microcom modem)
•
Cisco IOS Release 11.3(5)AA or later
•
MICA feature module
