1-Port Multiflex Trunk Interface Cards

This section describes the following Cisco 1-port multiflex trunk interface cards:

•1-Port T1/E1 Multiflex Trunk Interface Card (VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1)

•1-Port E1 Multiflex Trunk Interface Card with G.703 support (VWIC2-1MFT-G703)

•1-Port T1/E1 Multiflex Trunk Interface Card with voice-only support (VIC2-1MFT-T1/E1)

The Cisco 1-port T1/E1 multiflex interface cards provide voice and data access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) domain through time-division multiplexing (TDM) ports. The multiflex trunk interface cards are single-port trunk interfaces for voice, data, and integrated voice and/or data applications. These cards provide basic structured service for T1/E1 networks. The cards include an integrated data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU).

The E1 multiflex VWICs with G.703 support allow unstructured E1 traffic that conforms to the ITU-T G.703 standard.

You can distinguish among multiflex interface cards by looking at the labeling on the faceplates. The interface card type is shown with a label on the bottom left corner of the face plate. Figure 1 shows a sample 1-port multiflex trunk interface card.

Figure 1 1-Port T1/E1 Multiflex Trunk Interface Card (VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1)

Connecting the 1-Port Multiflex Trunk Interface Card

Follow these steps to connect a 1-port multiflex trunk interface card using a straight-through RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C cable:

Step 1 Make sure that the router is turned off.

Step 2 Connect one end of the cable to the T1 or E1 port on the card.

Note Shielded cables [STP Cat 5] should be used on E1 ports.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the cable to the T1 or E1 wall jack (RJ-48C) at your site, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Connecting the 1-Port Multiflex Trunk Interface Card to the T1 Wall Jack

Step 4 Turn on power to the router.

Step 5 Check that the CD LED goes on, indicating that the internal DSU/CSU is communicating with the DSU/CSU at the T1 or E1 service provider's central office (CO).

2-Port Multiflex Trunk Interface Cards

This section describes the Cisco 2-port T1/E1 multiflex interface cards:

•2-Port T1/E1 Multiflex Trunk Interface Card (VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1)

•2-Port E1 Multiflex Trunk Interface Card with G.703 support (VWIC2-2MFT-G703)

•2-Port T1/E1 Multiflex Trunk Interface Card with voice-only support (VIC2-2MFT-T1/E1)

The Cisco 2-port T1/E1 multiflex interface cards provide voice and data access to the PSTN domain through TDM ports. They are dual-port trunk interfaces for voice, data, and integrated voice and/or data applications. These cards provide basic structured service for T1 or E1 networks and unstructured service for fractional E1 networks. The cards include an integrated DSU/CSU. Some cards also support the drop-and-insert process, which adds data to a T1 or E1 data stream, or which terminates data from a T1 or E1 data stream to other devices connected to the drop-and-insert equipment.

The E1 VWICs with G.703 support allow unstructured E1 traffic that conforms to the ITU-T G.703 standard.

You can distinguish among T1 and E1 interface cards by looking at the labeling on the faceplates. The interface card type is shown with a label on the bottom left corner of the face plate. Figure 3 shows a sample 2-port multiflex trunk interface card..

See Figure 3 for a sample 2-port multiflex trunk interface card.

Note The following configuration tasks assume that you have properly configured the clock source for the T1/E1 controller. For detailed information about the TDM clock configuration, please refer to the Clock Configuration for Cisco 1751/1760 Routers online document. See the "Software Configuration Information" section for additional documentation resources.

T1/E1 Data Configuration

The procedures in this section describe how to configure your digital T1/E1 VWIC for WAN data traffic.

For detailed information about configuring voice ports on a Digital T1/E1 Packet Voice Trunk Network Module, refer to the Configuring Digital T1 Packet Voice Trunk Network Modules on Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series Routers online document and the Configuring Digital E1 Packet Voice Trunk Network Modules on Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series Routers online document. See the "Software Configuration Information" section for additional documentation resources.

Repeat the following procedure for each controller:
Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router#configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode. Skip this step if you are already in terminal configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)# card type {t1 | e1} subslot
Sets or changes the card type to support either T1 (t1) or E1 (e1) circuits.

•subslot Specifies the VWIC slot number. Range can be 0 to 3, depending on host module or platform.

•When the command is used for the first time, the configuration takes effect immediately.

•A subsequent change in the card type will not take effect unless you enter the reload command or reboot the router.
Step 3

Router(config)#controller {T1 | E1} slot/port

Enters controller configuration mode for T1 or E1 controller at the slot/port location specified. Skip this step if you are already in controller configuration mode.

Step 4

Router(config-controller)#framing
{esf | sf}

or

Router(config-controller)#framing {crc4 | no-crc4}

Specifies the framing type designated by your service provider. Extended Superframe (ESF) and Super Frame (SF) are for T1 circuits whereas cyclic redundancy check 4 (CRC4) and NO-CRC4 are for E1 circuits.

The default setting for T1 Framing is esf. The default setting for E1 framing is crc4.

Step 5

Router(config-controller)#linecode {ami | b8zs}

or

Router(config-controller)#linecode hdb3

Specifies the line code type designated by your service provider.

Alternate mark inversion (AMI) is used on older T1 circuits and references signal transitions with a binary 1, or mark.

Binary 8 zero substitution (B8ZS), a more reliable method, is more popular; B8ZS is recommended for PRI configurations as well. B8ZS encodes a sequence of eight zeros in a unique binary sequence to detect line-coding violations.

High density binary 3 (HDB3) is used on E1 circuits.

The default setting for the T1 line code is b8Zs.
Step 6
Router(config-controller)# clock source {line [primary | bits] | internal} [independent]
Specifies the clock source:

•When both ports are set to line clocking with no primary specification, port 0 is the default primary clock source and port 1 is the default secondary clock source.

–When both ports are set to line and one port is set as the primary clock source, the other port is by default the backup or secondary source and is loop-timed.

–If one port is set to clock source line and the other is set to clock source internal, the internal port recovers clock from the clock source line port if the clock source line port is up. If it is down, then the internal port generates its own clock.

–If both ports are set to clock source internal, there is only one clock source—internal.

–The optional keywords primary and bits have no effect on this feature.

•NMSI Mode:

–The independent keyword expands on the clock source internal and clock source line to specify that the port can operate on an independent clocking domain. Currently, on a 2-port VWIC-MFT, if both ports are configured as clock source line, the 2-port is really looped, which means that it's getting the clock from the first port. With NMSI mode, this dependency no longer exists, so the keyword independent means that both ports can be independently clocked.

Note When NMSI mode is configured, the controller will support only one channel-group. If you try to configure more than one channel-group, the following error message will occur:
router(config-controller)#channel-group 2 
timeslots 3
%Channel-group already created.
%Only 1 channel-group can be configured 
with independent clocking.
%Insufficient resources to create channel 
group
When configuring between clock source independent and no clock source independent, the channel-group has to be removed.
Step 7

Router(config-controller)#channel-group channel-group-no timeslots timeslot-list

Enter this command to set up channel groups for WAN data services.

The channel-group-no parameter is a value from 0 to 23 for T1 and from 0 to 30 for E1.

The timeslot-list parameter is a single number, numbers separated by commas, or a pair of numbers separated by a hyphen to indicate a range of time slots. The valid range is from 1 to 24 for T1. For E1, the range is from 1 to 31.

Note Only a speed of 64-Kbps is supported on Cisco 1700 series routers.

Step 8

Router(config-controller)#no shutdown

Activates the controller.

Step 9

Router(config-controller)#exit

Exits configuration mode.

Step 10

Router(config)#interface serial slot/port:channel-group-no

Enters interface configuration mode for a serial interface that you specify by slot and port. The channel-group-no portion of the command is required only for channelized T1 or E1 interfaces.

Step 11

Router(config-if)#encapsulation {atm-dxi | frame-relay | hdlc | lapb | ppp | smds | x25}

Configures synchronous serial encapsulation. The default encapsulation is hdlc.

Step 12

Router(config-if)#ip address ip-address mask

Assigns the IP address and subnet mask to the interface.

Step 13

Router(config-if)#end

Exits interface configuration mode.
T1/E1 Data Configuration Examples

This section shows an example of a digital T1/E1 VWIC configured for WAN data traffic.

The channel-group 0 command is configured so that the service provider can send Frame Relay link management information (LMI) on the T1 or E1 controller for Frame Relay data services. This command automatically creates serial interface 1/0:0.

Interface Serial 1/0:0 is where all the WAN and Layer 3 protocol details are configured; for example, Frame Relay encapsulation or IP addresses. See Figure 5 for a diagram of the examples.

Router(config)#controller T1 slot/port

Enters controller configuration mode for T1 controller at the slot/port location specified.

Skip this step if you are already in controller configuration mode.

Step 5

Router(config-controller)#framing {esf | sf}

Specifies the framing type designated by your service provider, Extended Superframe (ESF) and Super Frame (SF).

The default setting for the T1 framing is esf.

Step 6

Router(config-controller)#linecode {ami | b8zs}

Specifies the line code type designated by your service provider.

Alternate mark inversion (AMI) is used on older T1 circuits and references signal transitions with a binary 1, or mark.

Binary 8 zero substitution (B8ZS), a more reliable method, is more popular; B8ZS is recommended for PRI configurations as well. B8ZS encodes a sequence of eight zeros in a unique binary sequence to detect line coding violations.

The default setting for the T1 line code is b8Zs.

Step 7

Router(config-controller)#ds0-group ds0-group-no timeslots timeslot-list [type {e&m-delay-dial | e&m-immediate-start | e&m-wink-start | fxo-ground-start | fxo-loop-start | fxs-ground-start | fxs-loop-start}]

Defines the T1 channels and the signaling method the router uses to connect to the PBX or CO for use by voice calls.

The ds0-group-no is a value from 0 to 23 that identifies the DS0 group. The ds0-group command automatically creates a logical voice port that is numbered as follows:

With the slot/port:ds0-group-no parameter, although only one voice port is created, applicable calls are routed to any channel in the group.

The timeslot-list parameter is a single number, numbers separated by commas, or a pair of numbers separated by a hyphen that indicates a range of time slots. For T1, allowable values are from 1 to 24. To map individual DS0 time slots, define additional groups. The system maps additional voice ports for each defined group.

Selection of the signaling method type depends on the connection that you are making.

E&M allows connection for PBX trunk lines (tie lines) and telephone equipment. The wink and delay settings both specify confirming signals between the transmitting and receiving ends, whereas the immediate setting stipulates no special off-hook/on-hook signals.

FXO connects a CO to a standard PBX interface, where permitted by local regulations; the interface is often used for off-premises extensions.

FXS allows the connection of basic telephone equipment and PBXs.

Loop-start is a way of signaling that a line is seized by allowing current to flow through the 2 wires (tip and ring) to get dial tone. Ground-start signals that a line is seized by momentarily grounding one of the wires, typically the ring wire.

If you do not specify the type keyword, the default setting for the time slot type is e&m-wink-start.

Step 8

Router(config-controller)#end

Exits to the privileged EXEC mode.

Note To change or delete the configuration of the ds0-group, you must shut down the voice port, and then use the no ds0-group command.

T1/E1 Drop-and-Insert Configuration

Drop-and-insert technology is one way to integrate old PBX technologies with Voice over IP (VoIP). Drop-and-insert technology is sometimes called TDM cross-connect.

With VoIP, you can digitally cross-connect 64-Kbps DS0 channels on one T1/E1 to 64-Kbps DS0 channels on another T1/E1 within the same slot. With drop-and-insert, individual 64-Kbps DS0 channels can be transparently passed and uncompressed between T1/E1 ports, without passing through a DSP. The channel traffic is sent between a PBX and a CO switch (PSTN) or other telephony device, allowing the use of some PBX channels for long-distance service through the PSTN, while the router compresses other channels for interoffice VoIP calls.

In addition, drop-and-insert can cross-connect a telephony switch (from the CO or PSTN) to a channel bank to provide external analog connectivity.

Note For detailed information about configuring voice ports, see the Configuring Digital T1 Packet Voice Trunk Network Modules on Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series Routers online document and the Configuring Digital E1 Packet Voice Trunk Network Modules on Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series Routers online document.

See the "Software Configuration Information" section for a list of additional documentation.

The following steps configure your T1/E1 VWIC for drop-and-insert capability.

Repeat the following procedure for each controller:
Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router#configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Skip this step if you are already in terminal configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)# card type {t1 | e1} subslot
Sets or changes the card type to support either T1 (t1) or E1 (e1) circuits.

•subslot Specifies the VWIC slot number. Range can be 0 to 3, depending on host module or platform.

•When the command is used for the first time, the configuration takes effect immediately.

•A subsequent change in the card type will not take effect unless you enter the reload command or reboot the router.
Step 3

Router(config)#controller {T1 | E1} slot/port

Enters controller configuration mode for T1 or E1 controller at the slot/port location specified.

Skip this step if you are already in controller configuration mode.

Step 4

Router(config-controller)# tdm-group tdm-group-no timeslots timeslot-list [type {e&m | fxo [ground-start | loop-start] | fxs [ground-start | loop-start]}]

Used only when you need TDM groups for the drop-and-insert (also called TDM cross-connect) function with a 2-port T1/E1 trunk multiflex interface card.

The tdm-group-no parameter is a value from 0 to 23 for T1, and from 0 to 30 for E1.

The timeslot-list parameter is a single number, numbers separated by commas, or a pair of numbers separated by a hyphen that indicate a range of time slots. For T1, allowable values are from 1 to 24. For E1, allowable values are from 1 to 31.

The number of time slots must be the same on both ports for them to be cross-connected.

If you do not specify the type keyword, the tdm-group can only be used for drop-and-insert clear channel (data).

Selection of the signaling method for type depends on the connection that you are making. The fxs and fxo options allow you to specify a ground-start or loop-start line. Loop-start is a way of signaling that a line is seized by allowing current to flow through the 2 wires (tip and ring) to get dial tone. Ground-start signals that a line is seized by momentarily grounding one of the wires, typically the ring wire.

E&M allows connection for PBX trunk lines (tie lines) and telephone equipment. The wink and delay settings both specify confirming signals between the transmitting and receiving ends, whereas the immediate setting stipulates no special off-hook/on-hook signals.

FXO connects a CO to a standard PBX interface, where permitted by local regulations; the interface is often used in order for off-premises extensions.

FXS allows the connection of basic telephone equipment and PBXs.

Note The group numbers for controller groups must be unique. For example, a TDM group should not have the same ID number as a DS0 group.

Step 5

Router(config-controller)#no shutdown

Activates the controller.

Step 6

Router(config-controller)#exit

Exits controller configuration mode.

Step 7

Router(config)#connect id {T1 | E1} slot/port tdm-group-no-1 {T1 | E1} slot/port tdm-group-no-2

This global configuration command sets up the connection between two T1/E1 TDM groups of time slots on the trunk interfaces—for the drop-and-insert capability.

The id parameter is a name for the connection. Identify each T1/E1 controller by its slot/port location.

The tdm-group-no-1 and tdm-group-no-2 parameters identify the TDM group numbers (from 1 to 31) on the specified controller. (These groups were set up in Step 4.)

Note The cross-connection must occur on the same slot, but different ports.

Step 8

Router(config-tdm-conn)#end

Exits to privileged EXEC mode.

Please note the following:

•The tdm-group 2 timeslots 13-24 type e&m command defines drop-and-insert capability by setting the time slots from each T1 that will be used in the digital cross-connect.

•If you include the type keyword with a signaling type, the drop-and-insert cross-connect ensures that the specified signaling (on-hook and off-hook) is passed between the DS0s. It also uses the signaling bits to signal busyout if one of the T1s goes down.

•If you do not use the type keyword, the drop-and-insert cross-connect is clear-channel (data) and does not interpret any signaling.

•The connect tdm1 T1 1/0 2 T1 1/1 3 command activates the drop-and-insert digital cross-connect between the T1s. The tdm1 parameter is just a name for the cross-connect, and the name can be any word, any number, or any series of letters.

•The Activity LED does not light when the port is using the drop-and-insert feature.

•You can verify drop-and-insert connections by using the show connection command.

Verifying Controller Settings

The show controllers t1/e1 command displays the status of T1 or E1 controllers and displays information about clock sources for the ports, as shown in the sample output below:

============================================
1   tdm1    T1 1/0 02    T1 1/1 03   UP
T1/E1 PRI Configuration

The following steps configure your T1/E1 VWIC for PRI capability. For detailed information about configuring voice ports for T1/E1 PRI, refer to the Configuring ISDN Interfaces for Voice online document. See the "Software Configuration Information" section for a list of additional resources.

Note T1/E1 PRI supports only voice calls. Data calls are not supported. The pri-group can only be configured in slot 0 and slot 1.

Repeat the following procedure for each controller:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router#configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode. Skip this step if you are already in terminal configuration mode.

Step 2

Router(config)#card type {T1 | E1} sub_slot-num

Defines the card type.

This step must be performed during the initial configuration of the VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1 or the VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 before you can gain access to the controller.

Step 3

Router(config)#tdm clock {T1 | E1} slot/port both {export | import}

Configures the TDM clock for the T1 or E1 controller at the slot/port location specified.

Note The payload type for the TDM clock must be configured as both to create a pri-group.

For detailed information about TDM clock configuration, please refer to the Clock Configuration for Cisco 1751/1760 Routers online document.

Step 4

Router(config)#isdn switch-type switch-type

Select a service provider switch type that accommodates the PRI. The switch types are as follows:

•primary-4ess Lucent 4ESS switch type for the U.S.

•primary-5ess Lucent 5ESS switch type for the U.S.

•primary-dms100 Northern Telecom DMS-100 switch type for the U.S.

•primary-net5 NET5 switch type for UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia

•primary-ni National ISDN Switch type for the U.S.

•primary-ntt NTT switch type for Japan

•primary-qsig QSIG switch type

Step 5

Router(config)#controller {T1 | E1} slot/port

Enters controller configuration mode for T1 or E1 controller at the specified slot/port location.

Skip this step if you are already in controller configuration mode.

Step 6

Router(config-controller)#framing {esf | sf}

or

Router(config-controller)#framing {crc4 | no-crc4}

Specifies the framing type designated by your service provider.

Extended Superframe (ESF) and Super Frame (SF) are for T1 circuits, whereas cyclic redundancy check 4 (CRC4) and NO-CRC4 are for E1 circuits.

The default setting for T1 framing is esf. The default setting for E1 framing is crc4.

Step 7

Router(config-controller)#linecode {ami | b8zs}

or

Router(config-controller)#linecode hdb3

Specifies the line code type designated by your service provider.

Alternate mark inversion (AMI) is used on older T1 circuits and references signal transitions with a binary 1, or mark.

Binary 8 zero substitution (B8ZS), a more reliable method, is more popular; B8ZS is recommended for PRI configurations as well. B8ZS encodes a sequence of eight zeros in a unique binary sequence to detect line-coding violations.

The default setting for T1 line code is b8zs.

High density binary 3 (HDB3) is used on E1 circuits.

Step 8

Router(config-controller)#pri-group timeslots range

Configures the PRI group for either T1 or E1 to carry voice traffic. For T1, available time slots are from 1 to 24 (with time slot 24 used for D-channel signaling). For E1, the available time slots are from 1 to 31 (with time slot 16 used for D-channel signaling).

You can configure the PRI group to include all the time slots available, or you can configure a select group of time slots for the PRI group. For example, if only time slots 1 through 10 are in the PRI group, enter pri-group timeslots 1-10. If the PRI group includes all the channels available for T1 (channels 1 through 24), enter pri-group timeslots 1-24. If the PRI group includes all channels available for E1 (channels 1 through 31), enter pri-group timeslots 1-31.

When a PRI group is configured, T1 time slot 24 or E1 time slot 16 is automatically assigned to handle D-channel signaling.

Step 9

Router(config-controller)#interface serial slot/port:n

Specifies the D-channel interface. For n, the D-channel number, use:

•slot/port:23 on a T1 PRI

•slot/port:15 on an E1 PRI

Step 10

Router(config-if)#isdn switch-type {primary-4ess | primary-5ess | primary-dms100 | primary-net5 | primary-ni | primary-ntt | primary-qsig | primary-ts014}

Selects a service provider switch type that accommodates PRI.

This will override the ISDN switch type in the global configuration mode for this interface.

Note Only primary-net5, primary-qsig, and primary-ni switch types support network side configuration.

Step 11

Router(config-if)#isdn protocol-emulate {user | network}

Configures the Layer 2 and Layer 3 port protocol emulation as appropriate.

Enter user to configure the port as a slave. This is the default setting.

Enter network to configure the port as a master.

Note

Step 12

Router(config-if)#no shutdown

Activates the interface.

Step 13

Router(config-if)#end

Exits to the privileged EXEC mode.

Please note the following caveats:

•NFAS (Non-Facility Associated Signaling) is not supported on Cisco 1700 series routers.

•If you create a pri-group and there are insufficient DSPs, you are still allowed to create all the time slots, but some of the voice ports are not created. Therefore, calls cannot be placed on those channels. You must remove those time slots or mark them as out of service by using the isdn service b_chan <channel> state 2 command on the serial interface.

T1/E1 QSIG Configuration

This section shows a sample configuration of a digital E1 VWIC that the router connects to a PBX or PSTN using E1 QSIG. For detailed information about configuring voice ports for T1/E1 QSIG, refer to the Configuring ISDN Interfaces for Voice online document. See the "Software Configuration Information" section for a list of additional resources.

Repeat the following procedure for each controller:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router#configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode. Skip this step if you are already in terminal configuration mode.

Step 2

Router(config)#card type {T1 | E1} sub_slot-num

Defines the card type.

This step must be performed during the initial configuration of the VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1 or the VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 before you can gain access to the controller.

Step 3

Router(config)#tdm clock {T1 | E1} slot/port both {export | import}

Configures the TDM clock for T1 or E1 controller at the slot/port location specified.

Note The payload type for the TDM clock must be configured as both in order to create a pri-group.

For detailed information about TDM clock configuration, please refer to the Clock Configuration for Cisco 1751/1760 Routers online document.

Step 4

Router(config)#isdn switch-type primary-qsig

Configures the ISDN switch type to support QSIG signaling.

Step 5

Router(config)#controller {T1 | E1} slot/port

Enters controller configuration mode for T1 or E1 controller at the specified slot/port location.

Skip this step if you are already in controller configuration mode.

Step 6

Router(config-controller)#framing {esf | sf}

or

Router(config-controller)#framing {crc4 | no-crc4}

Specifies the framing type designated by your service provider. Extended Superframe (ESF) and Super Frame (SF) are for T1 circuits, whereas cyclic redundancy check 4 (CRC4) and NO-CRC4 are for E1 circuits.

The default setting for T1 framing is esf. The default setting for E1 framing is crc4.

Step 7

Router(config-controller)#linecode {ami | b8zs}

or

Router(config-controller)#linecode hdb3

Specifies the line code type designated by your service provider.

Alternate mark inversion (AMI) is used on older T1 circuits and references signal transitions with a binary 1, or mark.

Binary 8 zero substitution (B8ZS), a more reliable method, is more popular; B8ZS is recommended for PRI configurations as well. B8ZS encodes a sequence of eight zeros in a unique binary sequence to detect line-coding violations.

The default setting for T1 linecode is b8zs.

High density binary 3 (HDB3) is used on E1 circuits.

Step 8

Router(config-controller)#pri-group timeslots range

Configures the PRI group for either T1 or E1 to carry voice traffic. For T1, the available time slots are from 1 to 24 (with time slot 24 used for D-channel signaling). For E1, the available time slots are from 1 to 31 (with time slot 16 used for D-channel signaling).

You can configure the PRI group to include all the time slots available, or you can configure a select group of time slots for the PRI group. For example, if only time slots 1 through 10 are in the PRI group, enter pri-group timeslots 1-10. If the PRI group includes all the channels available for T1 (channels 1 through 24), enter pri-group timeslots 1-24. If the PRI group includes all channels available for E1 (channels 1 through 31), enter pri-group timeslots 1-31.

When a PRI group is configured, T1 time slot 24 or E1 time slot 16 is automatically assigned to handle D-channel signaling.

Step 9

Router(config-controller)#no shutdown

Activates the controller.

Step 10

Router(config-controller)#interface serial slot/port:n

Specify the D-channel interface. For n, the D-channel number, use:

•slot/port:23 on a T1 QSIG

•slot/port:15 on an E1 QSIG

Step 11

Router(config-if)#isdn switch-type primary-qsig

Configures the ISDN switch type to support QSIG signaling.

This overrides the switch type in the global configuration mode.

Step 12

Router(config-if)#isdn protocol-emulate {user | network}

Configures the Layer 2 and Layer 3 port protocol emulation.

Enter user to configure the port as a slave. This is the default setting.

Enter network to configure the port as a master.

Step 13

Router(config-if)#no shutdown

Activates the interface.

Step 14

Router(config-if)#end

Exits to the privileged EXEC mode.

T1/E1 QSIG Configuration Example

This section shows a sample configuration of a digital E1 VWIC that the router connects back-to-back to a PBX or PSTN using E1 QSIG. See Figure 9 for a diagram of the example.

E1 R2 Signaling Configuration

R2 signaling is channelized E1 signaling used in Europe, Asia, and South America. It is equivalent to the channelized T1 signaling used in North America. There are two types of R2 signaling: line signaling and interregister signaling. R2 line signaling includes R2 digital, R2 analog, and R2 pulse. R2 interregister signaling includes R2 compelled, R2 noncompelled, and R2 semi-compelled. These signaling types are configured using the ds0-group command under controller E1.

Many countries and regions have their own E1 R2 variant specifications, which supplement the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) Q.400-Q.490 recommendation for R2 signaling. Unique E1 R2 signaling parameters for specific countries and regions are set by issuing the cas-custom channel-no command followed by the country name command.

Cisco's implementation of R2 signaling has dialed number identification service (DNIS) support turned on by default. If you enable the ani option, the DNIS information is still collected. Specifying the ani option does not disable DNIS collection. DNIS is the number being called. ANI is the number from which the call is placed. For example, if you are configuring router A to call router B, the DNIS number is assigned to router B, and the ANI number is assigned to router A. ANI is similar to caller ID.

Repeat the following procedure for each E1 controller:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router#configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode. Skip this step if you are already in terminal configuration mode.

Step 2

Router(config)#card type {T1 | E1} sub_slot-num

Defines the card type. This step must be performed during the initial configurationbefore you can gain access to the controller.

Step 3

Router(config)#controller E1 slot/port

Enters controller configuration mode for E1 controller at the specified slot/port location. Skip this step if you are already in controller configuration mode.

Step 4

Router(config-controller)#ds0-group ds0-group-no timeslots timeslot-list type signal-type

Configures R2 channel-associated signaling on the E1 controller.

Replace the signal-type variable with any of the following choices for R2 analog, R2 digital, or R2 pulse:

r2-analog [dtmf | r2-compelled | r2-non-compelled | r2-semi-compelled]

or

r2-digital [dtmf | r2-compelled | r2-non-compelled | r2-semi-compelled]

or

r2-pulse [dtmf | r2-compelled | r2-non-compelled | r2-semi-compelled]
timeslots (1-31)

Step 5

Router(config-controller)#cas-custom channel-no

Enters cas-custom mode. In this mode, you can localize E1 R2 signaling parameters, such as specific R2 country settings for Hong Kong.

The channel-no parameter specifies a single channel group number, which can be from 0 through 30.

For the customization to take effect, the channel number used in the cas-custom command must match the channel number specified by the ds0-group command.

Step 6

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#framing {crc4 | no-crc4}

Specifies the framing type designated by your service provider. Cyclic redundancy check 4 (CRC4) and NO-CRC4 are for E1 circuits.

The default setting for E1 framing is crc4.

Step 7

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#linecode hdb3

Specifies the line code type designated by your service provider.

High density binary 3 (HDB3) is used on E1 circuits.

Step 8

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#no shutdown

Activates the controller.

Step 9

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#country name use-defaults

Specifies the local country, region, or corporation to use with R2 signaling. Replaces the name variable with one of the supported country names.

Cisco strongly recommends that you include the use-defaults option, which engages the default settings for a specific country. The default setting for all countries is ITU.

Step 10

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#ani-digits

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#answer-signal

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#caller-digits

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#category

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#default

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#dnis-digits

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#invert-abcd

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#ka

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#kd

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#metering

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#nc-congestion

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#unused-abcd

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#request-category

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#ani-timeout

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#answer-guard-time

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#dnls-complete

Router(config-ctrl-cas)#groupa-calledid-end

(Optional) Further customizes the R2 signaling parameters.

Some switch types require you to fine tune your R2 settings. Do not change these parameters unless you understand your switch requirements.

For nearly all network scenarios, the country name use-defaults command configures your country's local settings. You should not need to perform this step.

Note To change or delete the configuration of the ds0-group, you must shut down the voice port, and then use the no ds0-group command.

Q.931 User-Side and Network-Side Switch Support

Cisco platforms support Q.931 user- and network-side switch types for ISDN call processing. User-side PRI enables the Cisco platform to provide a standard ISDN PRI user-side interface to the PSTN. Network-side PRI enables the Cisco platform to provide a standard Digital T1/E1 Packet voice Trunk Network Module.

For a description of the commands used to configure VoIP, refer to the "Voice-Related Commands" chapter in the Multiservice Applications Command Reference. For complete VoIP configuration instructions, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 12.1 Multiservice Applications Configuration Guide.

Configuring Switch Types for ISDN PRI Q.931 Support

The QSIG protocol provides signaling for Private Integrated services Network Exchange (PINX) devices. It is based on the ISDN Q.931 standard. Using QSIG PRI signaling, the router can route incoming voice calls from a PINX across a WAN to a peer router, which can then transport the signaling and voice packets to a second PINX.

To configure QSI signaling support, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

Configuring Protocol Emulation for ISDN PRI Support

Routers and PBXs are traditionally customer premises equipment (CPE) with respect to the PSTN interfaces. For VoIP applications, it is desirable to interface access servers to PBXs with the access server representing the PSTN.

This feature enables the access server to provide a standard ISDN PRI network-side and user-side interface to the PBXs and to mimic the behavior of legacy phone switches. To a PBX, the access server functions as a Net5 PRI switch. No change in PBX capability or behavior is required.

To configure ISDN PRI network-side and user-side support, complete the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

Configuration Example

The example below shows how a Cisco 1700 series router can be configured for E1 and PRI with network-side support using VoIP. All commands used with this feature are documented in the IOS command references. The isdn protocol-emulate command was revised in Cisco IOS Release 12.1 for configuration of Q.931 PRI signaling.

The following example shows a router configuration for ISDN PRI signaling:

Cisco Product Security Overview

Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

From this site, you can perform these tasks:

•Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.

•Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.

•Register to receive security information from Cisco.

A current list of security advisories and notices for Cisco products is available at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt

If you prefer to see advisories and notices as they are updated in real time, you can access a Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed from this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you might have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

•Emergencies — security-alert@cisco.com

•Nonemergencies — psirt@cisco.com

Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work from encrypted information that is compatible with PGP versions 2.x through 8.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one that has the most recent creation date in this public key server list:

http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=psirt%40cisco.com&op=index&exact=on

In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

•1 877 228-7302

•1 408 525-6532

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support Website

The Cisco Technical Support Website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support Website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support Website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
