Restrictions for Configuring the Digital J1 VIC

•Voice-only applications are supported.

•Separate clock output is not supported.

•Alarm-relay output is not supported.

•Per-channel loopback is not supported.

•Voice ports on the J1 interface cannot be configured using network-management software. They must be configured manually.

Information About the Digital J1 VIC

The digital J1 VIC provides the proper interface for directly connecting Cisco multiservice access routers to PBXs throughout Japan that use a J1 (2.048-Mbps TDM) interface.

It provides the software and hardware features required to connect to over 80 percent of the PBXs within Japan that use digital interfaces. This new J1 voice interface card (VIC) provides a TTC JJ-20.11 compliant interface between high-density voice network modules (NM-HDV) and a Japanese PBX.

The card supports 30 voice channels per port. It provides a single-port line interface in a VIC form factor. It is specifically designed to conform to the TTC JJ-20.10-12 standards that define the interface between a PBX and a time-division multiplexer.

Figure 19 shows the earlier solution offered to customers in Japan. A J1/T1 adapter box installed between the PBX and router provides the translation between J1 using coded mark inversion (CMI) line coding at a bit rate of 2.048 Mbps and a T1 line using either alternate mark inversion (AMI) or B8ZS line coding at a bit rate of 1.544 Mbps. Note that, with this solution, only 24 channels are supported instead of the full 30 channels of the J1 interface.

Figure 19 Solution Without J1 VIC

Figure 20 shows the solution using the digital J1 VIC. The interface is now between J1 and the VIC's TDM access (TDMA) bus. Note that now all 30 channels of the J1 interface are supported.

Figure 20 Solution with J1 VIC

Feature benefits include the following:

•Supports Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), H.248, H.323 (versions 1, 2, and 3), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and Cisco CallManager (with Cisco IP phones) in association with VoIP, VoFR, and VoATM

•Provides Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) alarm signaling per TTC JJ-20.11

•Delivers the same performance as the existing 30-channel E1 NM-HDV

•Allows enabling and disabling of individual DS0s or channels

Keywords and arguments are as follows: •ipv4:destination-address —IP address of the dial peer to receive calls. •dns:hostname—Domain-name server that resolves the name of the IP address. You can use wildcards by using source, destination, and dialed information in the hostname. Use one of the following macros with this keyword when defining the session target for VoIP peers: –$s$.—Source destination pattern is used as part of the domain name. –$d$.—Destination number is used as part of the domain name. –$e$.—Digits in the called number are reversed and periods are added between the digits of the called number. The resulting string is used as part of the domain name. –·$u$.—Unmatched portion of the destination pattern (such as a defined extension number) is used as part of the domain name.
Step 16	exit Example: Router(config-dialpeer)# exit	Exits the current mode.

Verifying Digital J1 VIC Configuration

To verify that the digital J1 VIC is configured correctly, use the show running-config command as shown in the"Configuration Examples for the Digital J1 VIC" section.

Monitoring and Maintaining the Digital J1 VIC

To monitor and maintain the J1 VIC, use the following commands:

•show controllers j1 slot/port—Displays statistics for the J1 link.

•show dial-peer voice—Displays configuration information for dial peers.

Troubleshooting Tips

Three digital loopback modes are possible for diagnostics and fault isolation:

•Line loopback loops the received signal (R-D) from the PBX to the transmit going back to the PBX.

•Local loopback loops the transmitted signal (T-D) from the host to the receive going back to the host.

•Isolation loopback routes PBX and TDM generated traffic back to their respective sources.

---

Note In the following figures, Tx=transmit interface and Rx=receive interface. Tip / Ring leads carry audio between the signaling unit and the trunking circuit.

---

Line Loopback

To place the controller into line loopback, use the loopback line command (Figure 21). Line loopback loops the receiver inputs to the transmitter outputs. The receive path is not affected by the activation of this loopback.

Figure 21 Line Loopback

Local Loopback

To place the controller into local loopback, use the loopback local command (Figure 22). To turn off loopback, use the no form of the command. Local loopback loops the transmit line encoder outputs to the receive line encoder inputs. The transmit path is not affected by the activation of this loopback.

---

Note Use this command only for testing purposes.

---

Figure 22 Local Loopback

Isolation Loopback

To place the controller into line loopback, use the loopback isolation command (Figure 23). Both line and local loopback are turned on.
