ISDN Calling Commands


This chapter describes the commands used to configure Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) calling, such as on-demand dialing and security.

Configuring Directory Numbers

This section describes the association between the ISDN directory numbers, the service profile identification numbers (SPIDs) and the analog telephone port(s) of the router.


Note   Detailed information regarding the commands discussed in this chapter are provided in the Cisco 700 Series Router Command Reference.


SPIDs and Directory Numbers

SPIDS are in common use only in North America. If you are using ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) service in North America, your telephone service provider might assign zero, one, or two SPIDs to your BRI line, depending on what kind of switch the service provider uses. For 5ESS Custom switches, no SPID is assigned if the service provider is using a point-to-point switch, and one SPID is usually assigned for a multipoint switch. For DMS-100, NI1 and NI1-compliant switches, two SPIDs are usually assigned. All other switch types usually do not use SPIDs.

If your BRI line is assigned two SPIDs, it is suggested that you use the first SPID directory number for data calls and the second SPID directory number for the incoming voice calls to reduce the chances a data call will be disconnected when the router receives incoming voice calls.

SPIDs define the services available to the router. SPID numbers are determined by your service provider. For example, a directory number is considered a service and is associated with a SPID. A SPID can have more than one directory number associated with it. Cisco 700 series routers support up to three directory numbers for each SPID and up to two SPIDs, for a total of six directory numbers.

Analog Telephone Ports

The analog telephone ports are basic telephone service (POTS) ports, as opposed to an ISDN telephone port, such as the S/T port. The POTS ports are mapped to the directory numbers.

Cisco 765, Cisco 766, Cisco 775, and Cisco 776 routers have two analog telephone ports. The phone numbers for the ports are assigned using the set phone command. However, if your BRI line is assigned zero or one SPID, only one analog telephone port can be used at one time. If your BRI line is assigned two SPIDs, both analog telephone ports can be used simultaneously.

If no directory numbers are associated (mapped) to the POTS ports, the default function of analog telephones is dependent on the number of SPIDs assigned to the ISDN BRI line. Table 5-1 describes the default behavior of the POTS ports if your SPIDs and directory numbers are defined and you do not use the set phone command to configure the POTS ports.

2 An X indicates that the behavior applies for this configuration.


Data Over Voice Bearer Service

This section applies only to North American analog telephone services.

The router recognizes the difference between a data call and a voice call. In some tariff areas, voice calls are less expensive than data calls. Cisco 700 series routers support incoming and outgoing DOV calls. DOV calls are data calls made over the BRI (voice) line using Voice Bearer Capability (VBC).

If a directory number has been configured for DOV, incoming data calls with VBC are routed to the LAN through the Ethernet port, as shown in Figure 5-1. Incoming voice calls are forwarded to the analog (voice) device over the analog telephone port, as shown in Figure 5-2.

Figure 5-1 Data Call with VBC

Figure 5-2 Voice Call over VBC Line

The set dov command instructs the router to treat incoming calls to a specified directory number as data calls. (Before using the set phone command to configure DOV, you must set the directory number with the correct SPID, as described in the section "Configuring Directory Numbers," in this chapter.)

Any call received on the port that has been associated with this directory number is treated as DOV and is forwarded to the LAN. One or two directory numbers can be configured for DOV with the set phone command.

The set speed command with the voice keyword sets VBC on for outgoing DOV calls, enabling the features of VBC and DOV.

Automatic Data Call Disconnect

You can automatically disconnect a data call when a voice call is made or received and two data calls are in progress. The set voicepriority command determines if a data call will be disconnected when the router makes or receives a voice call.

If the priority is set to always, data calls are always bumped in favor of voice calls.

If the priority is set to conditional, the data call is disconnected from one channel if the data call can continue over another channel.

If the priority is set to never, data calls are never bumped in favor of voice calls.

If the priority is set to disable, data calls are handled as indicated by the set phone DOV command.

The voice priority mode is dependent on several factors, including the following:

Whether one or two ISDN B channels have data calls in progress

If two ISDN B channels have data calls in progress, whether the B channels are connected to the same destination or to different destinations

Distinctive Ringing

Cisco 700 series routers have a Distinctive Ring Manager (DRM) that can support distinctive ringing cadences for up to six external devices using the set phone command. These external devices can be a telephone or fax machine. Each POTS interface can support up to three devices.

call

To make a manual ISDN call on a specified link to a specified telephone number, use the call command.

CAll [object] [number]

Syntax Description

object

Can consist of a link or a channel.

number

The telephone number of the remote ISDN device. If no telephone number is entered, the router calls the number configured in the current profile with the set number command. If no number is entered and the current profile has not been configured with a number, this command has no effect.


Default

None

Command Mode

System or profile mode

Usage Guidelines

The object parameter can take one of these forms:

1 Connection

A logical data stream that connects the unit to the remote device. A connection can have multiple links associated with it. The syntax format for connection is as follows:

C# 

2 Link

A logical 64/56-kbps data path assigned to users, numbered sequentially beginning with one. The unit is limited to two links. The two syntax formats for link are as follows:

L# or # 

The # parameter can be either 1 or 2.

The three syntax formats for a connection and an associated link are as follows:

C#/L# or C#/# or #/# 

3 Channel

Channels provide a physical data path over the WAN. Channels are one or more time slots kept in sequence through the WAN that do not require any kind of inverse multiplexing. The unit can support 64-kbps channels or (in INS release only) 128-kbps channels. The syntax format for a channel is as follows:

CH#  

The # parameter can be 1 or 2.

If no link number is specified, the call is placed on both links. If no destination telephone number is specified, the unit uses the number configured for the current profile.

Example

The following example makes a manual call on the second link to 408 555-1212 while in profile mode for profile 2503:

Host:2503> call 2 4085551212

Related Commands

set button
set number

demand

To specify when an on-demand ISDN call will be made, use the demand command.

DEmand [link] [THreshold = kbps] [DUration= seconds] [SOurce =WAN | LAn | BOth]

Syntax Description

link

Specifies the link with which all the following parameters are associated.

THreshold

Minimum data rate (in kbps) that must exist on the channel before the call will be made. The range is 0 to 128.1

Inband negotiation traffic (traffic that terminates at the router) is not taken into account for the threshold level.

DUration

Length of time (in seconds) that the traffic is to be above the data threshold before the call is made. The range is 1 to 255.

SOurce

Source of traffic that is counted.

WAN

Traffic received from the ISDN line.

LAn

Traffic received from the LAN.

BOth

The value of LAN or the ISDN traffic, whichever is higher.

1 The data rate measured is the data that the router intends to forward across the ISDN line, so the data rate might actually exceed the physical capacity of the line.


Default

Channel 1—threshold 0 duration 1 source lan
Channel 2—threshold 48 duration 1 source both

Command Mode

System or profile mode

Usage Guidelines

On-demand dialing must be enabled with the set auto command.

Example

The following example determines when on-demand dialing will take place for profile 2503:

Host:2503> demand 1 threshold 10 duration 2 source lan

This specifies that link 1 will dial if 10 kbps is continuously exceeded for 2 seconds.

Related Commands

set auto
set delay
set ppp callback
set ppp negotiation retry
set ppp negotiation count
set ppp bacp
set ringback
set timeout
timeout
show negotiation

disconnect

To manually terminate an ISDN call, use the disconnect command.

DIsconnect [object | ALl]

Syntax Description

object

ISDN B channel or link. Can be 1 or 2. If no channel or link is entered, any connected calls are terminated.

ALl

Disconnects all calls.


Default

None

Command Mode

Profile mode

Usage Guidelines

The object parameter can take one of these forms:

1 Connection

A logical data stream that connects the unit to the remote device. A connection can have multiple links associated with it. The syntax format for a connection is as follows:

C# 

2 Link

A logical 64/56-kbps data path assigned to users, numbered sequentially beginning with one. The unit is limited to two links. The two syntax formats for link are as follows:

L# or # 

The # parameter can be either 1 or 2.

The three syntax formats for a connection and an associated link are as follows:

C#/L# or C#/# or #/# 

3 Channel

Channels provide a physical data path over the WAN. Channels are one or more time slots kept in sequence through the WAN that do not require any kind of inverse multiplexing. The unit can support 64-kbps channels or (in INS release only) 128-kbps channels. The syntax format for a channel is as follows:

CH#  

The # parameter can be 1 or 2.

The router may automatically reconnect the call after using the disconnect command. This can occur if on-demand dialing is enabled and a telephone number has been entered with the set number command. If the router receives enough packets to meet the demand threshold parameters, a new call is made.

Examples

The following example disconnects a call on the first link:

Host> disconnect 1

The following example disconnects any calls on both links of the current connection:

Host> disconnect

Related Command

set number

establish

To reassign a released service profile identifier (SPID) to the router, use the establish command.

EStablish [spidid]


Note   This command is applicable to US switches only.


Syntax Description

spidid

Specify the number of the SPID you are establishing (1 or 2) as set by the set spid command.


Default

None

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

This command is applicable only in the United States. It reassigns one of the SPIDs after it has been released to a device other than the router. For example, if you have two SPIDs and the router is using both of them for data, one of the SPIDs has to be released if an ISDN phone is to be used.

Example

The following example reassigns the SPID ID2 to the router following a release:

establish 2

The following is a typical sequence of events:

1 A unit has two calls established.

2 A call is disconnected by the user to free the B channel.

3 User releases the second SPID by entering: REL 2. The message "Terminal Identifier Unassigned" displays.

4 The same SPID is activated by the user in another ISDN TE on the same DSL.

5 Use of the other TE is finished and the user frees the SPID.

6 User reactivates the SPID in the unit by entering: ES 2.

7 A second channel call is made by the user of the unit.

Related Command

release

release

To release the Layer 2 link and Terminal Identifier (TEI) Unassigned associated with a SPID so that it can be used by another device on the same ISDN line (SBus), use the release command.

RElease [spidid]

Syntax Description

spidid

Specify the number of the SPID you are releasing (1 or 2) as set by the set spid command. (North America only.)


Default

None

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

Use this command when your ISDN line only supports two SPIDs and one B channel per SPID (DMS-100). When released, the SPID still resides in memory, so you do not have to reenter the SPID. To reassign the SPID back to the router, use the establish command.

Example

The following example releases the Channel 1 SPID from the router so that it can be used by another device on the same ISDN line:

Host> release 1 

Related Command

establish

reset directory number

To delete one or all of the directory numbers, use the reset directory number command.

REset DIrectorynumber ALl | number [.subaddress]

Syntax Description

ALl

Deletes all the directory numbers entered with the set directory number or set phone command.

number

Deletes the specified directory number that has been entered with the set directory number or set phone command.

.subaddress

Subaddress of a device on a multipoint ISDN line. Can consist of 1 to 10 digits.


Default

None

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

If you reset all of the directory numbers, the RCAPI number is automatically reset.

Example

To delete a directory number entered with the set directory number use one of the following commands:

Host> reset di all 

Host> reset di 14085559020

Related Commands

set directory number
set phone
set rcapi number

reset phone

To disassociate a directory number that has been associated with an interface, use the reset phone command.

DOV

All of the DOV (Data Over Voice) directory numbers set are disassociated (a maximum of two).


Default

None

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

This command applies only to routers with analog telephone support.

Example

To disassociate a directory number that has been entered with the set phone command:

Host> reset phone1

Related Command

set phone

set aoctimeout

To extend the connection (after the idle time out has expired) based on the frequency of the Advise of Charge During Call (AOC-D), use the set aoctimeout command. The feature is also known as the fee pulse mode.

SEt AOctimeout ON [seconds] | OFf


Note   This command is applicable only in the NET3 image (Europe).


Syntax Description

ON

Enables the action time.

seconds

The seconds required to terminate the logical connection. We recommend using the default value. This parameter has a range of 1 to 120 seconds.

OFf

Disables the action time.


Default

4 seconds

Command Mode

Profile mode

Usage Guidelines

The aoctimeout command can only be used in conjunction with the set timeout command. Before using this command, configure the set timeout command parameters, threshold kbps and duration seconds.

Example

The following example enables the use of AOC-D supplemental service:

Host: set aoctimeout on

Related Command

set timeout

set alawvoice

To set voice encoding, use the set alawvoice command.

SEt ALawvoice ON | OFf


Note   This command is applicable only in the NET3 image (Europe).


Syntax Description

ON

Voice encoding is set to A-law.

OFf

Voice encoding is set to micro-law (

m
-law or Mu-law).


Default

On

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

For the NET3 switch type, the set alawvoice command changes the voice encoding to micro-law for countries such as Taiwan. Most countries that use the NET3 switch type use A-law voice encoding. This command is needed for countries (such as Taiwan) that require micro-law.

Example

The following example sets voice encoding to A-law:

Host> set alawvoice on

set auto

To enable or disable on-demand dialing, use the set auto command.

SEt [link] AUto ON | OFf

Syntax Description

link

Link on which on-demand dialing is enabled or disabled. Can be set to 1 or 2. If no link is specified, on-demand dialing is enabled or disabled on both links.

ON

Enables on-demand dialing.

OFf

Disables on-demand dialing.


Default

channel 1—enabled (on)
channel 2—enabled (on)

Command Mode

Profile mode

Example

The following example disables on-demand dialing for the second channel:

Host> set 2 auto off

Related Commands

demand
set ppp callback
set ppp negotiation retry
set ppp negotiation count
set ppp bacp
set ringback
set timeout
show negotiation

set autodetection

To enable or disable automatic service profile identifiers (SPID) detection, use the set autodetection command.

SEt AUTODetection ON | OFf


Note   This command is available only in the US image.


Syntax Description

ON

Specifies a North American switch with auto detection enabled. You must enter the directory number, including the area code.

OFf

Disables the auto detection feature. You must enter the SPID numbers and switch type.


Default

Off

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

The auto-SPID and auto-switch detection features simplify the use of ISDN terminal equipment because there are fewer parameters to enter. Before the feature is enabled, the user only enters the local directory numbers and area code. No SPID number or switch type is required. This reduces the possibility of mistakes made by the user or the carrier.

During the detection process, the control software tries to register SPIDs with the switch based on the local directory numbers and area code. After a successful registration, the control software stores the detected SPIDs and switch type in NVRAM, as if they were entered by the user.

If auto detection fails to register SPIDs with the ISDN switch, the system prompts the user with an error message. The user will be required to manually enter SPID number(s) and switch type.

The auto-detection feature only applies to North American ISDN switches, usually a 5ESS Custom, DMS-100 Custom, NI1, or NI2 switch. The auto-detection mechanism might not work with any other switch, such as Siemens switch.

The user can enter up to six directory numbers in software Release 4.0(1) and higher, three for each interface. Including the area code helps the auto detection software speed up the registration process.

The following limitations are inherit in SPID auto detection.

If the service provider has assigned SPIDs that cannot be generated by the search table, the feature does not work.

The test call does not work if other router features are attempting to make calls while detection is in progress. It is recommended that the LAN not be connected to the router while detection is in progress.

You must not attempt to make a voice call while SPID detection is in progress.

An incoming call can cause the feature to fail or to incorrectly determine that the test call was successful.

The detection procedure requires approximately 30 seconds for each table entry. The current table size suggests a maximum time of approximately 12 minutes to complete the SPID detection process.

The SPID detection procedure places a burden on the switch connected to the Cisco 700 series router. Therefore, the feature disables itself after it has finished the process. It is recommended that the feature is used only during installation and that it be invoked sparingly.

Example

The following example disables on-demand dialing for the second channel:

Host> set 1 directorynumber 4085551234
Host> set 2 directorynumber 4085552345
Host> set autodetection on

Related Commands

BackupNUmber

1 to 20-digit telephone number of a device.

.subaddress

Subaddress of a device on a multipoint ISDN line. Can consist of 1 to 10 digits.


Command Mode

Profile mode

Usage Guidelines

Cisco 700 series routers can place a call to a backup telephone number when an outgoing call is made. The call might not be successful because the receiving side is busy or does not answer. Cisco 700 series routers support second number fail-over for manual and auto data calls. Both the called number and the backup numbers must be configured.

Example

The following example sets up a backup number:

Host> set backupnumber 18885551212

Related Command

version

set delay

To set the time between unsuccessful demand call attempts, use the set delay command.

SEt [link] DElay seconds

Syntax Description

link

Link to which the delay time applies. If no link is entered, the delay time is set for both links.

DElay

Number of seconds between unsuccessful call attempts. This value can be between 10 and 32767 seconds. Another call is attempted when the delay time has expired only if the parameters set by the demand command are met.


Default

Link 1—30 seconds
Link 2—30 seconds

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

The delay time applies to all ISDN demand call attempts.

If the routers at both ends of an ISDN connection are configured with on-demand dialing enabled and the same delay time, unsuccessful calls can lead to a nonterminating error condition. This condition occurs when each router repeatedly tries to call the other at exactly the same delay time. Neither call will be successful, and both routers will repeat the call attempt at the same delay interval.

Example

The following example sets the first channel to retry demand calls every 15 seconds:

Host> set 1 delay 15

Related Command

demand
set backup number

set directorynumber

To enter the router directory number, use the set directorynumber command.

SEt [spidid] DIrectorynumber = number [.subaddress]


Note   The SPID ID is applicable to U. S. switches only.


Syntax Description

spidid

The SPID ID can be 1 or 2. Depending on your ISDN service provider, your line might be assigned one or two SPIDs.

If no SPID ID is specified, the directory number is associated with SPID1 in the case of switches with SPIDs.

number

The directory number assigned by the telephone company. Can have 2 to 20 digits. For Cisco 760 and Cisco 770 series routers, a maximum of six directory numbers are allowed. For Cisco 750 series routers, a maximum of two directory numbers are allowed.

.subaddress

Subaddress of a device on a multipoint ISDN line. Can have 1 to 10 digits.


Default

No directory number is configured.

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guideline

To delete a directory number, use the reset directory number command.

The show voicerouting command confirms the directory numbers are correctly associated with the analog telephone ports. The following example shows the output from the show voicerouting command.

Interface     VoicePriority  VoicePriority   Call    Directory    Ring
                   In             Out       Waiting  Number      Cadence
 PHONE1        ALWAYS         ALWAYS        ON       5551234
 PHONE2        ALWAYS         ALWAYS        ON       5551235
 DOV           N/A            N/A           N/A
 UNSPECIFIED   N/A            N/A           N/A

Examples

The following example (shown in abbreviated form) associates directory number 5551234 with the first SPID and directory number 5551235 with the second SPID.

766> set 1 di 5551234
766> set 2 di 5551235

If your BRI line is not assigned SPIDs, use the set directory number command without the spidid argument to configure the router with the directory numbers, for example:

766> set di 5551234

Usage Guidelines

This command applies only to European ISDN Net3 and 1TR6 switches.

Example

Host> set internaltones none

set multidestination

To enable multidestination dialing, use the set multidestination command.

SEt MUltidestination ON | OFf

Syntax Description

ON

Enables multidestination dialing. The router, through the use of profiles, is able to connect to multiple remote locations over ISDN.

OFf

Disables multidestination dialing. If the router attempts to connect with two different remote routers, the connection to the second router is refused.


Default

Off (disabled)

Command Mode

System mode

Usage Guidelines

When setting multidestination, make sure you are not creating a bridging loop.

Example

The following example enables multidestination dialing:

Host> set multidestination on

set number

To enter the ISDN telephone number that each link calls, use the set number command.

Usage Guidelines

Customers and Internet service providers (ISPs) in areas served by carriers providing flat-rate ISDN can have their lines connected permanently. This overrides any timeout and threshold parameters. It also allows the flexibility of having one or more channels permanently up.

This feature is not dependent on the switch for permanent connections and can work on any switch type.

On power up, the router tries to bring up all permanent connections. If for any reason a connection gets disconnected, the router attempts to reconnect.

If permanent mode is specified for more than one link on a single profile, all links come up only if Multilink PPP is configured. If the D channel is configured for permanent mode, it comes up only if no other B channels are active.

If the idling D channel configured for permanent mode is disconnected, it will not come up if any B channel is already connected, until the B channel call is discontinued. Permanent mode can be configured for three links only, two B channels and the D channel, across all profiles. If you enter this command after having configured it for two B channels and the D channel, an error message displays on the console screen.

The permanent mode setting overrides only timeout and threshold parameters and not other events such as

Manual call disconnects.

Pressing the make/break switch (Cisco 770 series routers only).

Overrides from voice priority settings.

These events cause the line to be disconnected, but in permanent mode the router attempts to restore the line immediately.

Note   This command applies only to routers with analog telephone support.


Syntax Description

PHONE1 PHONE2

The telephone interface to which the voice calls will be routed. If no interface has been associated with an incoming voice call, the default routing will be to PHONE1.

DOV

(Data Over Voice) If a directory number is associated with the DOV interface, all incoming voice calls to that number will be treated as data over voice calls and routed to the Ethernet interface.

number

The directory number associated with that interface. There is one directory number per telephone interface. Two directory numbers can be assigned to be data over voice.

.subaddress

Subaddress of a device on a multipoint ISDN line. This number can have 1 to 10 digits.

ring1

Specifies the ringing cadence. If the ringing cadence is not specified, the original country's tone is generated. Ring 1 signals DRM to route the incoming call to output port 1.

ring2

Specifies the ringing cadence. If the ringing cadence is not specified, the original country's tone is generated. Ring 2 signals DRM to route the incoming call to output port 2.
