Modem over ISDN BRI for the
Cisco 3640 Router
Feature Summary
The Modem over Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) feature for the Cisco 3640 modular access router lowers the cost of remote access by offering high-speed modem and ISDN connectivity for mobile customers, home-offices, and other remote-access users. Branch offices and enterprises can support analog modem users who call over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) into BRI interfaces in Cisco 3640 routers.
Analog modem calls arrive at a speed of 33.6 kilobits per second (kbps) via the PSTN. The router's digital modems accept the modem calls at connection speeds as fast as 56 kbps, adhering to the V.90 standard. As shown in , the Cisco 3640 router in this way provides rapid access to email and other network services.
Figure 1 Modem over ISDN BRI Feature
Benefits
The following are benefits of using Modem over ISDN BRI:
•
Supports cost-effective and readily available BRI service
•
Provides remote modem users with rapid Internet and LAN/WAN access
•
Allows flexible remote access application support
List of Terms
BRI—Basic Rate Interface. ISDN interface composed of two B channels and one D channel for circuit-switched communication of voice, video, and data.
ISDN—Integrated Services Digital Network. Communication protocol, offered by telephone companies, that permits telephone networks to carry data, voice, and other source traffic.
NM—network module.
POTS—Plain Old Telephone Service. Basic telephone service supplying standard single-line telephones, telephone lines, and access to the public switched telephone network.
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. PSTN refers to the local telephone company.
SPID—service profile identifier. Number that some service providers use to define the services to which an ISDN device subscribes. The ISDN device uses the SPID when accessing the switch that initializes the connection to a service provider.
TEI—terminal endpoint identifier. In ISDN, a number that identifies a specific connection endpoint within a service access point.
VIC—voice interface card.
WIC—wide-area network (WAN) interface card.
Restrictions
This feature requires specific hardware and software:
•
At least one of the digital modem network modules listed below—the number in the model name indicates the number of digital modems that can be connected to the module.
•
NM-6DM
•
NM-12DM
•
NM-18DM
•
NM-24DM
•
NM-30DM
These digital modem network modules do not have their own network connections, but instead handle analog calls passing through other router interfaces. BRI modules can provide their ISDN connectivity. Other modules, such as Ethernet, can provide connectivity to the LAN. The digital modem module acts as a pool of available modems that can be used for both incoming and outgoing calls. Digital modem network modules do not support BRI VIC or WIC interfaces.
•
At least one of the following Cisco BRI network modules:
•
NM-4B-S/T—Four-port ISDN BRI network module, minimum version 800-01236-03
•
NM-4B-U—Four-port ISDN BRI with integrated NT-1 network module, minimum version 800-01238-06
•
NM-8B-S/T—Eight-port ISDN BRI network module, minimum version 800-01237-03
•
NM-8B-U—Eight-port ISDN BRI with integrated NT-1 network module, minimum version 800-01239-06
The version level is available from the show diag command, which displays the version number as the part number. If your BRI network module is a version lower than those cited above or you need more details, see Cisco Connection Online (CCO) for the field notice, Using Digital Modems with the Cisco 3600 Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Network Module Upgrade (access product field notices are at http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/770/42.html). If your existing Cisco BRI network module is one of those listed above and does not support the Modem over ISDN BRI feature, Cisco will upgrade the module at no charge.
•
To support the Modem over ISDN BRI feature, V.90 modem portware—for instructions on downloading this software or obtaining it otherwise, see the Cisco 3600 Series Modem Portware Upgrade Configuration Note on CCO.
Platforms
This feature is supported on the Cisco 3640 router.
Note
Due to Cisco 3620 slot limitations, the Modem over ISDN BRI feature is not supported on the Cisco 3620 router.
Prerequisites
Before you can configure a Cisco 3640 router to provide Modem over ISDN BRI connectivity, you must perform the tasks listed below:
•
Obtain BRI service from your telecommunications provider. The BRI line must be provisioned at the switch to support voice calls.
•
Install a four-port or eight-port BRI network module into your Cisco router. Depending on the type of network module and your BRI service, you might also need to install an external network terminator (NT-1).
•
Install a supported digital modem network module into the Cisco 3640 router.
•
After the system comes up, make sure enough buffers are in the free list of the buffer pool that matches the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of your BRI interface. If not, you must reconfigure buffers so the BRI interfaces function properly. To check the MTU of your interfaces, use the show interfaces bri command. The show buffers command displays the free buffer space. Use the buffers global configuration command to make adjustments to initial buffer pool settings and to the limits at which temporary buffers are created and destroyed.
For details about software configuration, see the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 software document, Dial Solutions Configuration Guide. For more information about the physical characteristics of the BRI network modules and their digital modem support, or instructions on how to install the network or modem modules, either see the Cisco 3600 series Network Module Hardware Installation Guide that came with your BRI network module or view the up-to-date information on CCO.
Supported MIBS and RFCs
None.
Configuration Tasks
The Modem over ISDN BRI feature is part of interface configuration for BRI. You configure the BRI interface after you have configured the ISDN global characteristics, which are switch type and TEI negotiation timing. These characteristics can also be defined for each BRI interface, as shown in the steps below. For details on the global and interface configuration commands, see the Cisco IOS software document, Dial Solutions Configuration Guide.
To set up the BRI interface characteristics, set the global parameters and then configure each interface separately. Perform the following configuration tasks:
Verify
To verify the ISDN BRI interface configuration, use the commands demonstrated below. The text shown in bold displays the results of configuration steps such as those shown in the "Configuration Tasks" section.
Step 1
The show running-config command in EXEC mode shows the current configuration running on the terminal. The example below shows some of the command output that is relevant to B RI configuration tasks.
Note
The show startup-config shows the configuration stored in NVRAM or in a location specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment variable.
