Voice over IP on Cisco 1750 Routers
Voice over IP on Cisco 1750 Routers
This document describes the Voice-over-IP (VoIP) feature on Cisco 1750 routers.
The following sections are included:
Feature Overview
The Cisco 1750 router is a voice-and-data capable router that provides VoIP functionality and can carry voice traffic (for example, telephone calls and faxes) over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Cisco voice support is implemented using voice packet technology.
In VoIP, the digital signal processor (DSP) segments the voice signal into frames and stores them in voice packets. These voice packets are transported by using IP in compliance with the International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunications (ITU-T) specification H.323, the specification for transmitting multimedia (voice, video, and data) across a network.
Because VoIP is a delay-sensitive application, you need to have a well-engineered, end-to-end network to use it successfully. Fine-tuning your network to adequately support VoIP involves using a series of protocols and features to improve quality of service (QoS). Traffic shaping considerations must also be considered to ensure the reliability of the voice connection.
To use the VoIP feature, you must have voice interface cards (VICs) installed in the Cisco 1750 router. For information about installing a VIC in the router, see the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide.
Benefits
•
Toll bypass: cost savings on intracompany voice calls, faxes, voice-mail storage and retrieval over the company intranet or the global Internet
•
Maintenance and management cost savings by using a single network to carry voice and data
•
Access to new business applications:
•
Intranet/Internet telephone
•
Web call centers and desktop video conferencing
•
Application or document sharing
•
Integrated messaging
•
Interoperability with existing telephony infrastructure: phones, fax machines, KTS, and PBX
•
Interoperability with H.323 clients such as Microsoft Netmeeting
Restrictions
The command session target loopback:rtp is disabled because it causes an unexpected router reload on a Cisco 1750 router. This command loops all voice data back to the originating source using Real-Time Transport Protocol [RTP] for VoIP dial peers. This error is documented as caveat number CSCdm62047.
Note
If you have an account with CCO, you can use Bug Navigator II to find caveats of any severity for any release. From CCO, log in and click on this path: Service & Support: Online Technical Support: Software Bug Toolkit. You can also find Bug Navigator II at http://www.cisco.com/support/bugtools.
Supported Platforms
The VoIP feature is supported on the Cisco 1750 router.
Configuration Tasks
Complete VoIP configuration instructions are described in the Cisco 1750 Router Voice over IP Configuration Guide and the Voice-over-IP Quick Start Guide. These documents are available on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM as follows:

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T or later, you can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This functionality is useful when you need to sort through large amounts of output, or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see.
To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the "pipe" character (|), one of the keywords begin, include, or exclude, and an expression that you want to search or filter on:
command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression
Following is an example of the show atm vc command in which you want the command output to begin with the first line where the expression "PeakRate" appears:
show atm vc | begin PeakRate
For more information on the search and filter functionality, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T feature module titled CLI String Search.
Configuration Examples
See the "Examples" headings in the section "Command Reference" for samples of the commands show controllers voice, show diag, and show voice dsp.
Command Reference
This section documents new and modified commands that configure the VoIP feature. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco 1750 Router Voice over IP Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 Command Reference publications.
show controllers voice
To display information about voice related hardware, use the show controllers voice privileged EXEC command.
show controllers voice
Syntax Description
This command contains no arguments or keywords.
Command Mode
Privileged EXEC.
Command History
Release ModificationCisco IOS Release 12.0(5)XQ
The command show voice dsp was introduced on the Cisco 1750 router.
Usage Guidelines
This command displays interface status information that is specific to voice-related hardware, such as, the registers of the TDM switch, the host port interface of the DSP, and the DSP firmware versions. The information displayed is generally only useful for diagnostic tasks performed by technical support.
Examples
The following is an example of the output from the show controllers voice command:
