|
12.0(7)XK |
This command was introduced on the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series and on the Cisco MC3810. |
12.1(2)T |
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T. |
12.2(2)T |
The answer keyword was added. |
Usage Guidelines
The battery-reversal command applies to FXO and FXS voice ports. On Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers, only analog voice ports in VIC-2FXO-M1 and VIC-2FXO-M2 voice interface cards are able to detect battery reversal; analog voice ports in VIC-2FXO and VIC-2FXO-EU voice interface cards do not detect battery reversal. On digital voice ports, battery reversal is supported only on E1 Mercury Exchange Limited Channel Associated Signaling (MEL CAS); it is not supported in T1 channel associated signaling (CAS) or E1 CAS.
FXS ports normally reverse battery upon call connection. If an FXS port is connected to an FXO port that does not support battery reversal detection, you can use the no battery-reversal command on the FXS port to prevent unexpected behavior.
FXO ports in loopstart mode normally disconnect calls when they detect a second battery reversal (back to normal). You can use the no battery-reversal command on FXO ports to disable this action.
The battery-reversal command restores voice ports to their default battery-reversal operation.
If an FXO voice port is connected to the PSTN and supports battery reversal, use the battery-reversal command with the answer keyword to configure answer supervision. This configures the FXO voice port to detect when a call is answered in order to provide correct billing information.
If the voice port, PSTN, or PBX does not support battery reversal, do not use the battery-reversal command because it prevents outgoing calls from being connected. Use the supervisory answer dualtone command instead.
If an FXO port or its peer FXS port does not support battery reversal, avoid configuring battery-reversal or battery-reversal answer on the FXO port. On FXO ports that do not support battery reversal, the battery-reversal command can cause unpredictable behavior, and the battery-reversal answer command prevents calls from being answered. To ensure that battery reversal answer is disabled on FXO ports that do not support battery reversal, use the no battery-reversal command.
Examples
The following example disables battery reversal on voice port 1/0/0 on a router:
The following example enables battery reversal to provide answer supervision on voice port 1/0/0 on a router:

bearer-capability clear-channel
To specify the information transfer capability of the bearer capability information element (IE) in the outgoing ISDN SETUP message for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) early-media calls that negotiate the clear-channel codec, use the bearer-capability clear-channel command in SIP configuration mode. To reset the information transfer capability of the bearer capability IE to speech (default), use the no form of this command.
bearer-capability clear-channel {speech | udi | rdi | audio | tones | video}
no bearer-capability clear-channel
Syntax Description
speech |
Specifies speech as the information transfer capability (default). |
udi |
Specifies untrestricted digital information (UDI). |
rdi |
Specifies restricted digital information (RDI). |
audio |
Specifies 3.1 kHz audio. |
tones |
Specifies UDI with tones and announcements. |
video |
Specifies video as the information transfer capability. |
Command Default
The default information transfer capability setting for the bearer-capability IE is speech.
Command Modes
SIP configuration (conf-serv-sip)
Command History
|
|
12.4(15)T |
This command was introduced. |
Usage Guidelines
When a Cisco voice gateway receives a SIP early-media call and negotiates the clear-channel codec, the default for the information transfer capability octet (octet 3) of the bearer capability IE in the outgoing ISDN SETUP message is set to speech. Use the bearer-capability clear-channel command to change the information transfer capability of the bearer capability IE to a different value.
Note Changing the information transfer capability of the bearer capability IE affects only SIP early-media calls. The information transfer capability value is always speech for SIP delayed-media calls, even when the clear-channel codec is negotiated.
You can display the current information transfer capability setting for the bearer capability IE using the show running-config command. To show only voice service configuration information, limit the display output to the section on voice service (see the "Examples" section).
Note When the information transfer capability is set to the default value (speech), the output of the show running-config command does not include the bearer-capability information line.
Examples
The following examples show how to configure the information transfer capability of the bearer capability IE to UDI to allow for 64 kb/s data transfer over ISDN and how to display the current setting.
Use the following commands to change the information transfer capability setting in the bearer capability IE to udi:
bearer-capability clear-channel udi
Use the following command to display the current information transfer capability setting:
Router# show running-config | section voice service
bearer-capability clear-channel udi
billing b-channel
To enable the H.323 gateway to access B-channel information for all H.323 calls, use the billing b-channel command in H.323 voice service configuration mode. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
billing b-channel
no billing b-channel
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Default
B-channel information is disabled.
Command Modes

sip |
Enters SIP configuration mode from voice service VoIP configuration mode. |
bind interface
To bind an interface to a Cisco CallManager group, use the bind interface command in SCCP Cisco CallManager configuration mode. To unbind the selected interface, use the no form of this command.
bind interface {dynamic | interface-type interface-number}
no bind interface {dynamic | interface-type interface-number}
Syntax Description
dynamic |
The transcoder interface is chosen based on the remote IP address. |
interface-type |
Type of selected interface. |
interface-number |
Number of the selected interface. |
Command Default
Interfaces are not associated with any Cisco CallManager group.
Command Modes
SCCP Cisco CallManager configuration
Command History
|
|
12.3(8)T |
This command was introduced. |
15.1(3)T1 |
This command was modified. The dynamic keyword was added. |
Usage Guidelines
Normally a firewall only opens certain addresses or port combination to the outside world and those addresses can change dynamically. The VoIP technology requires the use of more than one address or port combination to pass information. The bind interface command allows administrators to dictate the use of one network to transport the signaling and another network to transport the media by assigning an interface to a Cisco CallManager group for a specific interface for the signaling or media application.
The selected interface is used for all calls that belong to the profiles that are associated to this Cisco CallManager group. If the dynamic keyword is configured, the transcoder interface is chosen based on the remote address. If the interface is not configured, the Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) selects the best interface IP address in the gateway. Interfaces are selected according to user requirements. If there is only one group interface, configuration is not needed.
Note Only one interface can be selected. A given interface can be bound to more than one Cisco CallManager group.
Examples
The following example binds the interface to a specific Cisco CallManager group:
Router(config-sccp-ccm)#
bind interface fastethernet 2:1

block
To configure global settings to drop (not pass) specific incoming Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) provisional response messages on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE), use the block command in voice service SIP configuration mode. To disable a global configuration to drop incoming SIP provisional response messages, use the no form of this command.
block {180 | 181 | 183} [sdp {absent | present}]
no block {180 | 181 | 183}
Syntax Description
180 |
Specifies that incoming SIP 180 Ringing messages should be dropped (not passed to the other leg). |
181 |
Specifies that incoming SIP 181 Call is Being Forwarded messages should be dropped (not passed to the other leg). |
183 |
Specifies that incoming SIP 183 Session in Progress messages should be dropped (not passed to the other leg). |
sdp |
(Optional) Specifies that either the presence or absence of Session Description Protocol (SDP) information in the received response determines when the dropping of specified incoming SIP messages takes place. |
absent |
Configures the SDP option so that specified incoming SIP messages are dropped only if SDP is absent from the received provisional response. |
present |
Configures the SDP option so that specified incoming SIP messages are dropped only if SDP is present in the received provisional response. |
Command Default
Incoming SIP 180, 181, and 183 provisional responses are forwarded.
Command Modes
Voice service SIP configuration (conf-serv-sip)
Command History

|
12.4(22)YB |
This command was introduced. Only SIP 180 and SIP 183 messages are supported on Cisco UBEs. |
15.0(1)M |
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M. |
15.0(1)XA |
This command was modified. Support was added for SIP 181 messages on the Cisco IOS SIP gateway, SIP-SIP Cisco UBEs, and the SIP trunk of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME). |
15.1(1)T |
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)T. |
Usage Guidelines
Use the block command in voice service SIP configuration mode to globally configure Cisco IOS voice gateways and Cisco UBEs to drop specified SIP provisional response messages. Additionally, you can use the sdp keyword to further control when the specified SIP message is dropped based on either the absence or presence of SDP information.
To configure settings for an individual dial peer, use the voice-class sip block command in dial peer voice configuration mode. To disable global configurations for dropping specified incoming SIP messages on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco UBE, use the no block command in voice service SIP configuration mode.
Note This command is supported only on outbound dial peers—it is nonoperational if configured on inbound dial peers. You should configure this command on the outbound SIP leg that sends out the initial INVITE message. Additionally, this feature applies only to SIP-to-SIP calls and will have no effect on H.323-to-SIP calls.
Examples
The following example shows how to globally configure dropping of incoming SIP provisional response messages:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# voice service voip
Router(conf-voi-serv)# sip
Router(conf-serv-sip)# block 181
The following example shows how to globally configure dropping of incoming SIP with SDP provisional response messages:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# voice service voip
Router(conf-voi-serv)# sip
Router(conf-serv-sip)# block 183 sdp present
The following example shows how to globally configure dropping of incoming SIP without SDP provisional response messages:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# voice service voip
Router(conf-voi-serv)# sip
Router(conf-serv-sip)# block 180 sdp absent
The following example shows how to globally configure passing all specified incoming SIP provisional response messages (except for those on individual dial peers that are configured to override the global configuration):
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# voice service voip
Router(conf-voi-serv)# sip
Router(conf-serv-sip)# no block 181

block-caller
To configure call blocking on caller ID, use the block-caller command in dial peer voice configuration mode. To disable call blocking on caller ID, use the no form of this command.
block-caller number
no block-caller number
Syntax Description
number |
Specifies the telephone number to block. You can use a period (.) as a digit wildcard. For example, the command block-caller 5.51234 blocks all numbers beginning with the digit 5, followed by any digit, and then sequentially followed by the digits 5, 1, 2, 3, and 4. |

12.1(2)XF |
This command was introduced on the Cisco 800 series routers. |
12.1(5)T |
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T. |
This command is available on Cisco 800 series routers that have plain old telephone service (POTS) ports. For each dial peer, you can enter up to ten caller ID numbers to block. The routers do not accept additional caller ID numbers if ten numbers are already present. In that case, a number must be removed before another caller ID number can be added for blocking.
If you do not specify the block-caller command for a local directory, all voice calls to that local directory are accepted. If you specify the block-caller command for a local directory, the router verifies that the incoming calling-party number does not match any caller ID numbers in that local directory before processing or accepting the voice call. Each specified caller ID number and incoming calling-party number is compared from right to left, up to the number of digits in the specified caller ID number or incoming calling-party number, whichever has fewer digits.
This command is effective only if you subscribe to caller ID service. If you enable call blocking on caller ID without subscribing to the caller ID service, the routers do not perform the verification process on calling-party numbers and do not block any calls.
Examples
The following example configures a router to block calls from a caller whose caller ID number is 408-555-0134.

This command was implemented on the Cisco 2600s series and Cisco 3600 series. On the Cisco MC3810, the voice-port busyout command was eliminated in favor of this command. |
12.1(2)T |
The command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T. |
Usage Guidelines
If a voice port is in the forced busyout state, only the no busyout forced command can restore the voice port to service.
To avoid conflicting command-line interface (CLI) commands, do not use the busyout forced command and the ds0 busyout command on the same controller.
Examples
The following example forces analog voice port 3/1/1 on a Cisco 3600 router into the busyout state:
The following example forces digital voice port 0/0:12 on a Cisco 3600 router into the busyout state:

Usage Guidelines
When you place a voice port in the busyout monitor state, the voice port monitors the specified interface and enters the busyout state when the interface is down. This down state forces the rerouting of calls.
The busyout monitor command monitors only the up or down status of an interface—not end-to-end TCP/IP connectivity.
When an interface is operational, a busied-out voice port returns to its normal state.
This feature can monitor LAN, WAN, and virtual subinterfaces.
A voice port can monitor multiple interfaces at the same time. To configure a voice port to monitor multiple interfaces, reenter the busyout monitor command for each additional interface to be monitored.
If you specify more than one monitored interface for a voice port, all the monitored interfaces must be down to trigger busyout on the voice port.
You can combine in-service and out-of-service monitoring on a voice port. The following rule describes the action if monitored interfaces change state. A voice port is busied out if either of the following occurs:
•Any interface monitored for coming into service comes up.
•All interfaces monitored for going out of service go down.
Examples
The following example shows configuration of analog voice port 1/2 to busy out if serial port 0 or 1 comes into service:
busyout monitor serial 0 in-service
busyout monitor serial 1 in-service
The following example shows configuration of digital voice port 1/2/2 on a Cisco 3600 series router to busy out if serial port 0 goes out of service:
voice-port 1/2/2
busyout monitor serial 0
The following example shows configuration of the voice port to monitor two serial interfaces and an Ethernet interface. When all these interfaces are down, the voice port is busied out. When at least one interface is operating, the voice port is put back into a normal state.
busyout monitor ethernet 0/0
busyout monitor serial 1/0
busyout monitor serial 2/0
The following example shows configuration of the voice port to be busied out in case of a keepalive failure:

alarm blue |
Shutdown state with a blue alarm, also known as an alarm-indication signal (AIS). |
Command Default
Default voice busyout behavior without this command is a forced busyout.
Default voice busyout behavior for PRI depends on whether or not the ISDN switch type supports service messages:
•If the switch type supports service messages, default voice busyout behavior is to transmit B-channel out-of-service (OOS) messages and to keep the D channel active. D-Channel service-messages are supported on the following ISDN switch-types: NI, 4ESS (User Side only), 5ESS (User Side only), DMS100.
•If the switch type does not support service messages, default voice busyout behavior is to bring down the D channel.
•For switch-types not specified above, the D-channel is taken down when the busyout monitor action graceful is configured.

12.3(7)T |
The busyout monitor action shutdown command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)T and support was added for the Cisco IAD2430 series. |
12.4(6)T |
The busyout monitor action graceful and busyout monitor action shutdown commands were introduced to replace the busyout action graceful and busyout action shutdown commands. |
12.4(9)T |
The busyout monitor action command was introduced to combine the busyout monitor action graceful and busyout monitor action shutdown commands. The shutdown alarm blue keywords were added. |
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to control busyout behavior that is triggered by the busyout monitor command.
This command with the graceful keyword busies out the voice port immediately or, if there is an active call on this voice port, waits until the call is over.
This command with the shutdown keyword has the following attributes:
•Before Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)T, when voice busyout is triggered on a PRI voice port, the D channel is deactivated until the busyout trigger is cleared. Some ISDN switch types, however, support in-service and OOS Q.931 messages that permit B channels to be taken out of service while still keeping the D channel active. Starting in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)T for these ISDN switch types, OOS messages are sent and the D channel is kept active when a voice busyout is triggered.
•This keyword is available only for PRI voice ports.
•For switch-types not specified above, the D-channel is be taken down when the busyout monitor action graceful command is configured.
Examples
The following example shows analog voice-port busyout state set to graceful:

Usage Guidelines
A voice port can monitor multiple interfaces at the same time. To configure a voice port to monitor multiple interfaces, enter the busyout monitor probe command for each additional interface to be monitored.
Caution
The
busyout monitor probe command is effective only if the call fallback function is enabled on the source router, and the SAA responder is enabled on the target router. To enable the call fallback function, you must enter the
call fallback active command for the
busyout monitor probe command to work.
The SAA probe is transmitted periodically with a period determined by the call fallback function.
Low thresholds of ICPIF, loss, and delay result in early busyout when the link deteriorates, thereby raising the voice minimum quality level. High thresholds prevent busyout until loss and delay are long, allowing transmission of lower-quality voice.
Caution
If thresholds are set too low, the link can alternate between in-service and out-of-service states, causing repeated interruptions of traffic.
Before the introduction of the grace-period keyword to the busyout monitor probe command, the loss of SAA probe connectivity was sufficient to immediately enforce busyout, causing service and connectivity problems in some networks because busyout conditions could occur frequently and abruptly. To improve busyout monitoring via SAA probes, the grace-period setting allows for an additional timer that must expire before a busyout condition is enforced. That is, the SAA probes and the period of grace must both expire before a busyout condition is invoked. If the SAA IP connectivity is restored within the period of grace, the busyout condition does not occur.
Note To disable the grace-period option, you must first enter the no busyout monitor probe command and then re-enter the busyout monitor probe command without the grace-period option.
The grace-period keyword is not available in Cisco IOS Release 12.3T.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure analog voice port 1/1/0 to use an SAA probe with a G.711a-law profile to probe the link to two remote interfaces that have IP addresses and to busy out the voice port if SAA probe connectivity is lost for at least 5 seconds. Both links have a loss exceeding 25 percent or a packet delay of more than 1.5 seconds.
busyout monitor probe 209.165.202.128 codec g711a loss 25 delay 1500 grace-period 45

The busyout seize command is valid for both analog and digital voice ports. On digital voice ports, the busyout actions are valid whether the busyout results from a voice-port busyout event or from the ds0-busyout command.
The voice port returns to an idle state when the event that triggered the busyout disappears.
Table 1 describes the busyout actions for the busyout seize settings on each voice port type.
The busyout action for E and M voice ports is to seize the far end by setting lead busy.
