Table 6 FXS Analog Interface Module Fax and Modem Transport Parameters 

Parameter Name
Description
Default

Fax relay enable

Enables/disables fax relay support in the gateway. Enabling this parameter will result in the gateway attempting fax relay negotiation as part of the call setup. If it is enabled but the far end does not support fax relay, the fax call will switch to pass-through mode.

Checkbox checked

Fax error correction mode (ECM) override

ECM occurs in some higher-end fax models that enable fax pages to be transmitted error free. If ECM is enabled, the transmission has a low tolerance to jitter and packet loss. This results in a higher number of failed fax calls. For better reliability (even with higher packet loss), ECM needs to be disabled. ECM is disabled by enabling the checkbox.

Checkbox checked

Maximum fax rate

Defines the maximum fax transmission rate to be used during the fax call. This can be used to restrict the bandwidth utilized for fax transmission.

14400

Fax payload size

Configures the size of the fax payload (fax data) carried over the real-time transport protocol (RTP). The value can range between 20 and 48.

20

Non standard facilities country code

Overrides the country code passed by the fax machine with the value defined. Setting the value to default (65535) results in the gateway passing the country code values received from the fax machine to the far end. If the value is not the default, then the gateway will pass the configured value as the country code to the far end. It will suppress the actual country code passed by the fax machine. The country code can be received by the gateway from the far end through ISDN. For details about the nonstandard facilities country code, refer to the T.35 specification.

65535

Non standard facilities vendor code

Overrides the vendor/provider code passed by the fax machine with the value defined. Setting the value to default (65535) results in the gateway passing the vendor code values received from the fax machine to the far end. If the value is not the default, the gateway passes the configured value as the vendor code to the far end. It will suppress the actual vendor code passed by the fax machine. The vendor code can be received by the gateway from the far end through ISDN. For details about the nonstandard facilities vendor code, refer to the T.35 specification.

65535

Fax/Modem Packet Redundancy

Enables packet redundancy support for fax and modem calls. Packet redundancy support results in retransmission of packets in case of problems. Enabling redundancy can have a negative impact on performance.

Checkbox unchecked

Named service event (NSE) type

NSE type attempts to standardize the transfer of tones over the real-time transport protocol (RTP). Two NSE standards exist in Cisco products: one for Cisco IOS gateways and one for non-Cisco IOS gateways. The Catalyst 6500 series switch 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module supports both standards. You need to configure the right NSE type based on the network setup. If the module needs to talk to a Cisco IOS gateway (a VG200 or AS5300 for example), set this option to IOS Gateway. If the gateways need to talk to other non-Cisco IOS gateways (such as a WS-X6608-E1/T1, VG248, WS-X6624-FXS, or another WS-SVC-CMM-24FXS), set this option to non-IOS Gateway.

Non-IOS Gateway


Usage Guidelines and Restrictions

This section provides usage guidelines and restrictions for CMM:

The recommended voice activity detection (VAD) setting for CMM is off.

Important Notes in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY

The following section describes important notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY.

Release Upgrade Notice

The CMM wscmm-i6s-mz.123-8.XY image contains a new bundle 4.4.X DSPware infrastructure. Once downloaded, this software will perform an automatic FPGA upgrade to version 10 (hex 0xA) in order to take advantage of the new bundle 4.4.X DSPware infrastructure.

After the upgrade, power cycling CMM is required. If you have an ACT module on CMM, you must reconfigure the ACT module with the new FastEthernet interface instead of Ethernet. Any other CMM release before wscmm-i6s-mz.123-8.XY image will require an automatic bundle FPGA upgrade to version 10 (hex 0xA).


Note The Automatically Upgrading Feature Cards FPGA and Downgrading Feature Cards FPGA are both applicable to all versions of Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY and should be referred to when upgrading or downgrading.


Important Notes in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY

The following section describes important notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY. Please read the entire release note before downloading and installing the CMM 12.3(8)XY image. See the following sections:

Downgrading Feature Cards FPGA

Software Upgrade Procedure

Booting a Specific CMM Image

Ethernet to FastEthernet Interface Change Notice

Media Termination Point Port Density

Automatically Upgrading Feature Cards FPGA

The first time you are loading the Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY image, any FPGA EPLD B on T1/E1/FXS module and any FPGA EPLD A on the FXS module with a version not set to 10(hex 0xA) will be upgraded automatically to version 10(hex 0xA). This upgrade is necessary to work with the Cisco IOS software 12.3(8)XY image.

1. It is important that you avoid doing the following:

a. Do not change or save the configuration during FPGA download because feature cards are not enabled, and configurations for these modules will be lost.

b. Do not reload CMM during the FPGA download. The feature cards may be corrupted if the download is not completed. Downloading each FPGA may take up to six minutes, and you must wait for each individual download to complete.


Note When upgrading the FPGA via Telnet into CMM directly, you need to turn on the terminal monitor to see the messages.

Example:

CMM#term monitor ?
<cr> 

2. You will be prompted to power-cycle CMM when the download is completed. This must be done for feature cards to function. To power cycle CMM, you must perform the following steps from the Catalyst Supervisor administrator:

a. From Cisco Catalyst OS: enter set module power down x; then enter set module power up x.


Note Entering reset <mod x> from the switch or reload from CMM is not adequate.


b. From Cisco IOS: enter hw-module module x reset.

An alternative method to the above steps is to remove CMM from the Catalyst 6000chassis and then insert CMM into the chassis again. Before hot swapping CMM, refer to the safety precautions and port adapter removal procedures in the Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series CMM Installation and Configuration Note at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/cfgnotes/78_14107.htm

3. Do not load earlier Cisco IOS images (any image before Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY) because this may crash CMM or corrupted feature cards.

4. Enter show wscmm sprom slot# to see the output of FPGA. Look for 'EPLD B' to verify that the version number is set to 10 (hex 0XA) after the upgrade.

5. For the FXS module, enter the show wscmm sprom slot# command to see the output of FPGA. Look for 'EPLD A' to verify that the version number is set to 0xA after the upgrade.

Sample screen logs for upgrade FPGA output are shown in the following section.

Sample Upgrade Screen Logs

In the following examples, the first log shows an upgrade EPLD B on E1, and the second log shows an upgrade EPLD A on FXS.

Downgrading Feature Cards FPGA

If you need to run an image earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY after upgrading FPGA to version 10 (hex 0XA), FPGA must be downgraded to version 2 for CMM to function correctly. For more information, see the following jam message link:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cmm

Use the following downgrade procedure.

1. Make sure that anokha_t1_e1.jam and or anokha_fxs.jam files are in bootflash.

2. If CMM is booted from bootflash, make sure that Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY and ZP3 images are in bootflash.

3. Enter copy running-config bootflash:filename.save to save the current running configuration to bootflash.

4. While CMM is running the Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY image, enter the test fpga downgrade slot# command.

5. Repeat step 4. for all feature cards in CMM.


Note When downgrading the FPGA via Telnet into CMM directly, you need to turn on the terminal monitor to see the messages.

Example:

CMM#term monitor ?
<cr> 

6. Reload CMM with the Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY image to download the FPGA code. The download occurs during bootup.

7. After the download is complete for all feature cards, add boot system flash bootflash:wscmm-i6s-mz.xxxZP3 in the running configuration. This will make CMM boot up with ZP3 image at the next reboot. You can save the configuration to bootflash, because the configuration for CMM was saved in Step 3 to be used after downgrading FPGA.

8. Reload CMM with the Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY image. If you run the non-ZP image, CMM may crash and corrupt the feature cards.

9. After CMM boots up with the Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY image, enter the copy bootflash:filename.save running-config command to recover the configuration for the feature cards.

10. Enter the write memory command to save the configuration.

11. Enter the show wscmm sprom slot# command to see the output of FPGA. Look for 'EPLD B' to verify that the version number is set to version 2 after the downgrade.

Sample screen logs for downgrade FPGA output are shown in the following section.

Software Upgrade Procedure

Use the following procedure to upgrade your software.


Note If you are transitioning from a ZC, ZP, or XN image to an XY image, an automatic FPGA upgrade is involved. See the "Automatically Upgrading Feature Cards FPGA" section.


Obtaining a New Image to Bootflash:

Use the following procedure to obtain a new image into bootflash. Use the dir bootflash: command to ensure that there is enough space in the bootflash: directory to hold the new image.

CMM# dir bootflash:

Directory of bootflash:/
1  -rw-    10503084                    <no date>  wscmm-i6s-mz.123-8.XY4.fc2
33030140 bytes total (22526992 bytes free)

Note If there is not enough free memory, retain one stable CMM image and delete the unwanted images. It is important to hold one stable CMM image in the bootflash: directory.


After deleting the unwanted images, enter the squeeze bootflash: command to recover the free memory. Proceed with the software upgrade as follows:

CMM# copy tftp bootflash:

Address or name of remote host []? 192.1.2.201

Source filename []? wscmm-i6s-mz.123-8.XY2

Destination filename [wscmm-i6s-mz.123-8.XY2]?

Accessing tftp://192.1.2.201/wscmm-i6s-mz.123-8.XY2...

Erase bootflash:before copying? [confirm]n

Loading wscmm-i6s-mz.123-8.XY2 from 192.1.2.201 (via GigabitEthernet1/0):

Booting a Specific CMM Image

To store images and configure the system to boot a specific CMM image, Cisco recommends that you store two images in the CMM bootflash: the golden (existing) image and the new image. You should store the golden image in the first boot location and the new image in the second boot location. Then configure the image that needs to be booted up to the golden image using the following commands:

CMM# configure terminal
CMM(conf)> boot system bootflash: cmm-golden-image
CMM(conf)> config-register 0x2

By setting the configuration register to 0x2, the default booting from bootflash: is enabled. The booting will take place from the first file. The boot system command overrides the default booting from bootflash:. Hence it is important to have the golden image (the image that needs to be booted) as the first file in the bootflash: and also to set the command boot system bootflash: cmm-golden-image to boot with the golden image. By setting the boot system bootflash: cmm-golden-image, there is no chance of accidentally booting up with an unwanted image.

Setting the configuration register to 0x01 would use the first image from the bootflash:.The recommended setting for the configuration register is 0x2 and the configuration of the boot system bootflash: cmm-golden-image.

If you have console access to the CMM module and wish to enter ROMMOM every time the CMM reloads, you can configure the config-register to be 0x0.


Note Setting the configuration register to 0x0 puts the CMM in ROMMON mode and you must manually reboot from ROMMON if there is a reload or crash. Therefore, the configuration register setting of 0x0 is not recommended for use in production environments where there may not be a person available to boot the CMM manually after a reload or crash: A person with CMM console access must be available at the site.


Ethernet to FastEthernet Interface Change Notice

If you are running an earlier CMM Cisco IOS image and have WS-SVC-CMM-ACT modules on board, loading Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY image for the first time will change the Ethernet interfaces corresponding to the WS-SVC-CMM-ACT modules to FastEthernet interfaces with no IP address configured and in the shutdown state.

We recommend that you save and record the Ethernet interface configurations before upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)XY and that you reconfigure the FastEthernet interface once CMM is up and running.

CSCsa42286: FCS counters increasing for CMM ports

Symptoms: A Cat6k with CMM module may see FCS errors increasing on the CMM ports when repeating the show counters x command on the supervisor, where x is the slot the CMM resides in. There isn't any impact seen at this time; the problem appears to be cosmetic only.

Conditions: Sup2 running 7.6(8) and CMM running 12.3(8)XY1. It's not known at this time whether the problem is seen with other supervisors or different code versions on either the supervisor or CMM.

Workaround: There is no known workaround.


Note Entering the clear counters command on the supervisor does not clear the CMM port counters.


Resolved Caveats in Release 12.3(8)XY3

CSCef28503: MGCP GW not sending DLCX with E: during RTPLOSS

Symptoms: An MGCP gateway (GW) does not send a DLCX message with the proper reason code (E:) when an RTP loss occurs because the Ethernet interface through which the RTP transfer occurs on the GW is shut down.

Because the GW does not notify the CA about the RTP loss via a DLCX message with the proper reason code, the CA continues to send MGCP messages to the GW and vice versa in a normal way. However, these MGCP messages do not reach the GW or CA because the Ethernet interface on the GW is shut down, preventing the deletion of existing connections on the GW.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco platform that functions as an MGCP GW and that has a single interface to the CA and terminating GW.

Workaround: Delete the connections on the MGCP GW manually through MGCP CLIs.

Manual Configuration in the Absence of CMM-Specific XML Files

If you do not have the CMM-specific XML files or do not want to install CMM-specific XML files, you need to perform the following tasks:


Note The problem requiring manual configuration in the absence of CMM-specific XML files has been resolved in the Cisco CallManager 3.2(2c)spF-rc3 support patch. If you load this patch, you do not need to perform the following configuration commands.


Configure the clock source line primary and clock source line secondary under T1/E1 controllers as per your requirements. The secondary clock source is a backup for the primary clock source, and CMM supports secondary clock sources from 1 to 17. CMM must have clock source line primary and clock source line secondary configured to avoid any clock slips.

The default configuration for CMM is "Cisco Fax Relay." To run "Fax pass through calls," supplement the default configuration with the following two commands:

mgcp modem pass through voip mode cisco

no ccm fax protocol cisco

The default configuration for "echo cancel coverage" is set to 64 ms. This default can be changed as needed under voice-port configuration.

The default configuration for "input gain" and "output attenuation" is set to 0 dB. This default can be changed as needed under voice-port configuration.

The manual configuration is lost on a reload if you set CMM for a configuration download from Cisco CallManager. If you lose the configuration, you must reconfigure. To retain the manual configuration, disable the automatic configuration download from Cisco CallManager before reloading CMM.
