Safety Information

Warning For safety information you need to know before working on your Cisco universal gateway, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Setting Up the Chassis

You can install the chassis in a rack or set it on a desktop. Select the procedure that best meets the needs of your network:

•Rack-Mounting the Chassis

•Desktop Installation

Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Rack-Mounting the Chassis

This section describes how to rack-mount the chassis. The universal gateway arrives with 19-inch rack-mount brackets and larger brackets for use with a 23- or 24-inch rack.

Cisco AS5350 Rack-Mount Brackets

Cisco AS5400 Rack-Mount Brackets

The following information will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:

•Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each unit generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.

•When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated in the rack.

•Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air through the chassis. The best placement of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack, which can be found by experimenting with different configurations.

•When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating the equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to allow the unit under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.

•Install the chassis and external devices to which it will connect in a contiguous stack.

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and equipment to rack-mount the chassis:

•Number 2 Phillips screwdriver (not included)

•Medium flat-blade screwdriver (not included)

•Screws for attaching the chassis to the rack (not included)

•Standard rack-mount brackets (included)

•Screws for attaching the brackets to the chassis (included)

Attaching Brackets

Attach the mounting brackets to the chassis as shown, using the screws provided. Attach the second bracket to the opposite side of the chassis.

Note The chassis may be installed with either the front or rear panel facing forward.

Desktop Installation

For desktop or shelf mounting, use the rubber "feet" shipped on a black adhesive strip with the chassis. They protect the chassis and provide a nonskid surface.

The location of the chassis is extremely important for proper operation. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult. The following information will help you to plan the location of the chassis:

•Plan for access to both front and rear panels of the chassis.

•Ensure that the room where the chassis operates has adequate ventilation. Remember that electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate ventilation

To attach the rubber feet, take the following steps:

Step 1 Locate the rubber feet that shipped with the chassis.

Step 2 Place the universal gateway upside-down on a smooth, flat surface.

Step 3 Peel the rubber feet off the black adhesive strip and place them adhesive-side down at each corner of the underside of the chassis.

Step 4 Place the universal gateway top-side up on a flat, smooth, secure surface.

Caution Do not place anything on top of the universal gateway that weighs more than 10 lb (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top could damage the chassis.

Chassis Ground Connection

You must connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground using the ground lug (provided) and size AWG 6 (13 mm2) wire.

To attach the chassis ground, take the following steps:

Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to expose approximately 0.75 in. (20 mm) of conductor.

Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size.

Step 3 Attach the ground lug to the chassis. Use a medium flat-blade screwdriver and the screws supplied with the ground lug. Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m).

Step 4 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a suitable grounding point at your site.

Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Step 2 Note the orientation of the DC power supply. The power supply cord should have three wires: 48 VDC Return, -48 VDC, and a safety ground (green wire).

Warning The illustration shows the DC power supply terminal block. Wire the DC power supply using the appropriate wire terminations at the wiring end, as illustrated. The proper wiring sequence is ground to ground, return to return, and negative to negative. Note that the ground wire should always be connected first and disconnected last. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Step 3 Strip off a quarter of an inch (1/4 in. [0.625 cm]) of insulation on the safety ground, 48 VDC Return, and -48 VDC input wires.

Note If you are installing a redundant power supply in the Cisco AS5350, you should attach appropriate sized spade terminals to the stripped ends of the ground and input wires.

Step 4 Install the safety grounds (green wire) into the terminal block ground connectors and tighten the locking screws. Ensure that no bare wire is exposed.

Note For central office installations, we recommend using a copper 6 AWG green ground wire with one end connected to reliable earth. The other end of the wire should be crimped onto the double-hole lug provided in the installation pack. The lug should be secured to the mating holes on either side of the chassis with the two screws included in the accessory pack.

Step 5 Insert the 48 VDC Return wires into the terminal block positive connectors (+) and tighten the locking screws. Ensure that no bare wire is exposed.

Caution Do not overtorque the terminal block contact screws. The recommended torque is 5.0 in.-lb (0.56 N-m).

Step 6 Insert the -48 VDC wires into the terminal block negative connectors (-) and tighten the locking screws. Ensure that no bare wire is exposed.

Step 7 Make sure that the power supply wires are secured to cable strain-relief clamps with cable ties.

Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Step 8 Power up the universal gateway. The internal power supply fan should power on.

5 Power Up the Universal Gateway

Note The information in this document applies to the Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, and Cisco AS5400HPX universal gateways.

Note Unless specifically noted, all references to the Cisco AS5400 also apply to the Cisco AS5400HPX.

Checklist for Power Up

You are ready to power up the Cisco universal gateway if the following steps are completed:

•Chassis is securely mounted.

•Power and interface cables are connected.

•Your PC terminal emulation program is configured for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

•You have selected passwords for access control.

•You have determined the IP addresses for the Ethernet and serial interfaces.

Power-Up Procedure

Perform this procedure to power up your Cisco universal gateway and verify that it goes through its initialization and self-test. When this is finished, the Cisco universal gateway is ready to configure.

Note To view the boot sequence through a terminal session, you must have a console connection to the Cisco universal gateway before it powers on. To connect to the console, refer to the "Connect a Console Terminal" section.

Move the power switch to the ON position. The system board OK LED should come on and messages will begin to appear in your terminal emulation program window.

Caution Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop. Any keys pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop, which might cause the universal gateway to power off and start over. It takes a few minutes for the messages to stop.

Note The displayed messages depend on the Cisco IOS software release and cards installed in your system. The screen displays in this section are for reference only and might not exactly reflect the messages on your console.

Configuring Local AAA Security

Configure authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) to perform log in authentication by using the local username database. The login keyword authenticates EXEC shell users. Additionally, configure PPP authentication to use the local database if the session was not already authenticated by login.

AAA (called triple A) is the Cisco IOS security model used on all Cisco devices. AAA provides the primary framework through which you set up access control on the Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400.

The same authentication method is used on all interfaces. AAA is set up to use the local database configured on the gateway. This local database is created with the username configuration commands.

Step 1 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when your prompt changes to Gateway(config)#.
Gateway# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Gateway(config)#
Step 2 Create a local login username database in global configuration mode. In this example, the administrator's username is admin. The remote client's login username is Harry.
Gateway(config)# username admin password adminpasshere
Gateway(config)# username Harry password Harrypasshere
Step 3 Configure local AAA security in global configuration mode. You must enter the aaa new-model command before the other two authentication commands.
Gateway(config)# aaa new-model
Gateway(config)# aaa authentication login default local
Gateway(config)# aaa authentication ppp default if-needed local
Step 4 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Gateway(config)# Ctrl-Z
Gateway#
Step 5 Log in with your username and password:

Caution After you have configured AAA security, all access will require a username and password. Make sure that your login name and password are working before you exit or reboot. If you are unable to get back into your universal gateway, refer to the password recovery instructions at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/474/pswdrec_as5300.shtml
Gateway# login
User Access Verification
Username: admin
Password:
Gateway#
Tip To save the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM. Refer to the "Saving Configuration Changes" section.

Note For comprehensive information about how to implement a Cisco AAA-based security environment, see the relevant documents at Cisco Product Documentation > Network Security > Cisco IOS Technology-Specific Security Features.

Configure Basic Dial Access

To commission a basic dial access service perform the following tasks:

•Create two loopback interfaces.

•Bring up the Fast Ethernet interface.

•Add an IP route to the default gateway.

Step 1 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when your prompt changes to Gateway(config)#.
Gateway# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Gateway(config)#
Step 2 Assign the IP addresses as in the following example, and create an IP route to the default gateway:
Gateway(config)# interface loopback 0
Gateway(config-if)# ip address 172.22.99.1 255.255.255.255
Gateway(config-if)# exit
Gateway(config)# interface loopback 1
Gateway(config-if)# ip address 172.22.90.1 255.255.255.0
Gateway(config-if)# exit
Gateway(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/0
Gateway(config-if)# ip address 172.28.186.55 255.255.255.240
Gateway(config-if)# no shutdown
Gateway(config-if)# exit
Gateway(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.28.186.49
In this example:

•Interface loopback 0—Identifies with a unique and stable IP address. One unique IP address from a common block of addresses is assigned to each device in the IP network. This technique makes security-filtering easy for the Network Operations Center (NOC). One class C subnet used for device identification can support 254 distinct devices with unique loopback addresses.

•Interface loopback 1—Hosts a pool of IP addresses for the remote nodes. In this way, one route, instead of 254 routes, is summarized and propagated to the backbone. Pick the IP address for loopback 1 from the range of addresses that you will assign to the local address pool.

Step 3 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Gateway(config)# Ctrl-Z
Gateway#
Step 4 Verify that the Fast Ethernet interface is up. Ping the default gateway to verify this.
Gateway# ping 172.28.186.49
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.28.186.49, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms
Tip To save the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM. Refer to the "Saving Configuration Changes" section

Note An 80 percent ping-success rate is normal for the first time you ping an external device. The universal gateway does not have an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entry for the external device. A 100 percent success rate is achieved the next time you ping the device.

Configuring the Asynchronous Group Interface

This section shows how to configure asynchronous interfaces. Asynchronous group interfaces allow administrators to easily configure a large number of asynchronous interfaces by allowing them to clone from one managed copy. This can also reduce the number of lines in the configuration, because each individual asynchronous interface configuration can be replaced by at least one group-async. To assign the asynchronous interfaces to a group-async interface, first determine the number of asynchronous lines that need to be aggregated. This can be determined from the running configuration.

Step 1 Enter the enable command and password to go to privileged EXEC mode. You are in privileged EXEC mode when the prompt changes to Gateway#.
Gateway> enable
Password: password
Gateway# 
Step 2 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when the prompt changes to Gateway(config)#.
Gateway# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Gateway(config)#
Step 3 Place all asynchronous interfaces in a single group, so that you configure the same parameters quickly on all interfaces at one time:
Gateway(config)# interface group-async 1
Gateway(config-if)#
Step 4 Define the slot/port group range of the interface. The range that you specify depends on the number of asynchronous interfaces you have on your gateway. If your gateway has 108 asynchronous interfaces, you can specify group-range 1/1 1/107.
Gateway(config-if)# group-range slot/port slot/port
Building configuration...
Gateway(config-if)#
Step 5 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Gateway(config-if)# Ctrl-Z
Gateway#
Tip To save the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM. Refer to the "Saving Configuration Changes" section.

Configuring a Channelized T1 or E1 DFC

This section shows how to configure channelized T1 or E1. On a Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400, you can allocate the available channels for channelized E1 and T1 in the following ways:

•All channels can be configured to support ISDN PRI.

•If you are not running ISDN PRI, all channels can be configured to support robbed-bit signaling (also known as channel-associated signaling).

•All channels can be configured in a single channel group.

•Mix and match channels supporting ISDN PRI, channel grouping, and channel-associated signaling (CAS).

•Mix and match channels supporting ISDN PRI, channel grouping, and robbed-bit signaling across the same T1 line. For example, on the same channelized T1 you can configure the pri-group timeslots 1-10,24 command, channel-group 11 timeslots 11-16 command, and ds0-group 17 timeslots 17-23 type e&m-fgb command. This is an unusual configuration because it requires you to align the correct range of time slots on both ends of the connection.

Note For configuration information about leased-line or nondial use, see the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide, available online.

•Note the following:

–The controller must report being up.

–No errors should be reported.

If you are having trouble:

•First decide if the problem is because of the T1 or E1 line or with a particular channel group. If the problem is with a single channel group, you have a potential interface problem. If the problem is with the T1 or E1 line, or with all channel groups, you have a potential controller problem.

•To troubleshoot your E1 or T1 controllers, first check that the configuration is correct. The framing type and line code should match to what the service provider has specified. Then check channel group and PRI-group configurations, especially to verify that the time slots and speeds are what the service provider has specified. At this point, the show controller t1 or show controller e1 commands should be used to check for T1 or E1 errors. Use the command several times to determine if error counters are increasing, or if the line status is continually changing. If this is occurring, you need to work with the service provider.

•Another common reason for failure is the dial-tdm-clock priority setting. The default setting is a free-running clock that causes clock slip problems if not set properly.

Configuring a Channelized T3 DFC

Your CT3 card offers 28 individual T1 channels (bundled in the T3) for serial transmission of voice and data. The CT3 link supports the maintenance data link channel in C-bit parity mode and also payload and network loopbacks. The T1s multiplexed in the CT3 link support facilities data link (FDL) in extended super frame (ESF) framing.

Note The CT3 controller numbering convention is dfc-slot/port in CLI commands. DFC slot numbering starts from the motherboard and works up from left to right. Slot 0 is reserved for the motherboard. The DFC slots are numbered sequentially from 1 to 7. Port number value is always 0. Under the CT3, the CT1 controller numbering convention is dfc-slot/port:channel in CLI commands. Port numbering values range from 1 to 28.

Configuring ISDN PRI

Channelized T1 ISDN PRI offers 23 B channels and 1 D channel. Channelized E1 ISDN PRI offers 30 B channels and 1 D channel. Channel 24 is the D channel for T1, and channel 16 is the D channel for E1. ISDN provides out-of-band signaling using the D channel for signaling and the B channels for user data.

For a complete description of the commands mentioned in this chapter, refer to the Dial Solutions Command Reference.

You can access this document at Cisco Product Documentation > Cisco IOS Software > Cisco IOS Software Release you are using > Configuration Guides and Command References > Command reference for your application.

Request PRI Line and Switch Configuration from a Telco Service Provider

Before configuring ISDN PRI on your Cisco universal gateway, you must order a correctly provisioned ISDN PRI line from your telecommunications service provider.

This process varies from provider to provider on a national and international basis. However, some general guidelines follow:

•Determine if the outgoing B channel calls are made in ascending or descending order. The Cisco IOS software default is descending order; however, if the switch from the service provider is configured for outgoing calls made in ascending order, the universal gateway can be configured to match the switch configuration of the service provider.

•Ask for delivery of calling line identification. Providers sometimes call this CLI or automatic number identification (ANI).

•If the gateway will be attached to an ISDN bus (to which other ISDN devices might be attached), ask for point-to-multipoint service (subaddressing is required) and a voice-and-data line.

Configure ISDN PRI by executing the following steps:

Step 1 Use the enable command and password to enter privileged EXEC mode. You are in privileged EXEC mode when the prompt changes to Gateway#.
Gateway> enable
Password: password
Gateway# 
Step 2 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when the prompt changes to Gateway(config)#.
Gateway# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Gateway(config)#
Step 3 Select a service provider switch type that matches your service provider switch:
Gateway(config)# isdn switch-type switch-type

Step 4 Specify the T1 controller you want to configure.

Note The CT1/E1 controller numbering convention is dfc-slot/port in CLI commands. DFC slot numbering starts from the motherboard and works up from left to right. Slot 0 is reserved for the motherboard. The DFC slots are numbered sequentially from 1 to 3 for the Cisco AS5350 and 1 to 7 for the Cisco AS5400. Port numbering is from 0 to 7, depending on the trunk DFC installed.

The CT3 controller numbering convention is dfc-slot/port in CLI commands. DFC slot numbering starts from the motherboard and works up from left to right. Slot 0 is reserved for the motherboard. The DFC slots are numbered sequentially from 1 to 3 for the Cisco AS5350 and 1 to 7 for the Cisco AS5400. Port number value is always 0. Under the CT3, the CT1 controller numbering convention is dfc-slot/port:channel in CLI commands. Channel values range from 1 to 28. For illustrations showing the slot locations, see the "Slot Numbering" section
Gateway(config)# controller t1 1/0
or
Gateway(config)# controller t3 7/0:16
or

Specify the E1 controller you want to configure.
Gateway(config)# controller e1 1/0
Note When you configure the CT1or CE1 controller, a corresponding D-channel serial interface is created automatically.

Step 5 Specify the PRI channels:
Gateway(config-controller)# pri-group [timeslots range]
Note For CT1 ISDN PRI—If you do not specify the time slots, the specified controller is configured for 23 B channels and 1 D channel. B channel numbers range from 1 to 23; channel 24 is the D channel for T1. Corresponding serial interface numbers range from 0 to 23. In commands, the D channel is interface serial slot/port:23—for example, interface serial 1/0:23.

Note For CE1 ISDN PRI—If you do not specify the time slots, the specified controller is configured for 30 B channels and 1 D channel. B channel numbers range 1 to 31; channel 16 is the D channel for E1. Corresponding serial interface numbers range 0 to 30. In commands, the D channel is interface serial slot/port:15—for example, interface serial 1/0:15.

Step 6 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Gateway(config-controller)# Ctrl-Z
Gateway#
Tip To save the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM. Refer to the "Saving Configuration Changes" section.

.
Note Your Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400 supports a total of 248 ISDN channels per ingress DFC. If you are configuring individual T1 channels of your CT3 for backup links or serial backhaul connections, the CT1s must be configured into channel-groups—each channel-group using 24 time slots or channels. For example, to configure 6 CT1s (6x24), 144 ISDN channels are in use, leaving a remainder of 104 (248-144) channels for ISDN use.

In the following show running-config example, five CT1s are configured into channel-groups:

If you are having trouble:

•If the Layer 1 Status is "Deactivated," make sure that the cable connection is not loose or disconnected. This status message indicates a problem at the physical layer.

•There may be a problem with your telco, or the framing and line code types you entered may not match your telco's. A Layer 2 error indicates that the universal gateway cannot communicate with the telco. There is a problem at the data link layer.

Configuring the D Channels for ISDN Signaling

The ISDN D channels carry the control and signaling information for your ISDN calls—for both circuit-switched data calls, and analog modem calls.

The D channel notifies the central office switch to send the incoming call to particular time slots on the Cisco universal gateway. Each one of the B channels carries data or voice. The D channel carries signaling for the B channels. The D channel identifies if the call is a circuit-switched digital call or an analog modem call. Analog modem calls are decoded and then sent off to the onboard modems. Circuit-switched digital calls are directly relayed to the ISDN processor in the gateway.

When you configured your ISDN PRI on the CT1 or CE1 controller, you automatically created a serial interface that corresponds to the PRI group time slots. This interface is a logical entity that is associated with the specific controller. After the serial interface is created, you must configure the D channel serial interface that carries signaling. The configuration applies to all the PRI B channels (time slots) for that PRI group.

The following table shows the logical contents of a ISDN PRI interface used in a T1 network configuration. The logical contents includes 23 B channels, one D channel, 24 time slots, and 24 virtual serial interfaces (total number of Bs + D).

Relationship of ISDN PRI Components for T1

Note When you configure your CT1 controller for an Non-Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) backup D channel, a serial interface is automatically created only when your primary D channel fails.

To configure ISDN signaling, follow these steps:

Step 1 Enter the enable command and password to go to privileged EXEC mode. You are in privileged EXEC mode when the prompt changes to Gateway#.
Gateway> enable
Password: password
Gateway# 
Step 2 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when the prompt changes to Gateway(config)#.
Gateway# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Gateway(config)#
Step 3 Enter serial interface configuration mode. After configuring the CT1 controller, a corresponding D-channel serial interface is automatically created. For example, serial interface 1/0:23 is the D channel for CT1 controller 1. You must configure each serial interface to receive incoming signaling and send outgoing signaling.

Note On a CE1 PRI line, the serial interface for the D channel is 1/0:15.
Gateway(config)# interface serial 1/0:23
Gateway(config-if)#
Step 4 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface:
Gateway(config-if)# ip address 172.16.254.254 255.255.255.0
Step 5 Configure all incoming voice calls.

Note This command has two possible keywords: data and modem. You must use the modem keyword to enable both modem and voice calls. The modem keyword represents bearer capabilities of speech.
Gateway(config-if)# isdn incoming-voice modem
Step 6 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Gateway(config-if)# ctrl-z
Gateway#
Tip To save the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM. Refer to the "Saving Configuration Changes" section.

Configuring the Universal Port Dial Feature Card and Lines

Rather than the more traditional line/modem one-to-one correspondence, lines are mapped to a service process element (SPE) that resides on the universal port DFC. Associated SPE firmware serves a function similar to modem code on a MICA modem.

One SPE provides services for six ports, with additional ports per SPE. Busyout and shutdown can be configured at the SPE or port level.

The universal port DFC performs the following functions:

•Converts pulse code modulation (PCM) bitstreams to digital packet data.

•Forwards converted and packetized data to the main processor, which examines the data and forwards it to the backhaul egress interface.

•Supports all modem standards (such as V.34 and V.42bis) and features, including dial-in and dial-out.

Note For detailed information about the universal port DFC CLI commands, refer to Monitoring Voice and Fax Services on the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal Gateway, available online at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121newft/121limit/121x/121xm/121xm_5/ftupspe.htm

SPE Firmware

SPE firmware is automatically downloaded to a universal port DFC from the Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400 when you boot the system for the first time or when you insert a universal port DFC while the system is operating. When you insert DFCs while the system is operating, the Cisco IOS image recognizes the cards and downloads the required firmware to the cards.

The SPE firmware image is bundled with the universal gateway Cisco IOS image. The SPE firmware image uses an auto detect mechanism, which enables the universal port DFC to service multiple call types. An SPE detects the call type and automatically configures itself for that operation. The firmware is upgradable independent of Cisco IOS upgrades, and different firmware versions can be configured to run on SPEs in the same DFC.

The universal port DFC supports the modem standards and features listed in the following table.

Configure Clocking

The time-division multiplexing (TDM) bus on the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 backplane can receive an input clock from one of four basic sources on the universal gateway:

•A CT1/CE1 card

•A CT3 card

•An external T1/E1 clock source feed directly through the building integrated timing supply (BITS) interface port on the motherboard

Note Building integrated timing supply (BITS) is a single building master timing supply. BITS generally supplies DS1- and DS0-level timing throughout an office. In North America, BITS are the clocks that provide and distribute timing to a wireline network's lower levels.

•Free-running clock provides clock from an oscillator

Dial Feature Card Ports

The TDM bus can be synchronized with any DFC cards. On the CT1/CE1 DFCs, each port receives the clock from the T1/E1 line. The CT3 DFC uses an M13 multiplexer to receive the DS1 clock. Each port on each DFC trunk slot has a default clock priority. Also, clock priority is configurable through the dial-tdm-clock priority CLI command.

External Clock

The TDM bus can be synchronized with an external clock source that can be used as an additional network reference. If no clocks are configured, the system uses a primary clock through a software-controlled default algorithm. If you want the external T1/E1 clock (via the BITs interface) as the primary clock source, you must configure it using the dial-tdm-clock priority CLI command; the external clock is never selected by default.

The BITs interface requires a T1 line composite clock reference set at 1.544 MHz and an E1 line composite clock reference set at 2.048 MHz.

Free-Running Clock

If there is no good clocking source from a DFC card or an external clock source, then select the free-running clock from the local oscillator using the dial-tdm-clock priority CLI command.

To configure the clock source and clock source priority used by the TDM bus, follow these steps:

Step 1 Use the enable command and password to enter privileged EXEC mode. You are in privileged EXEC mode when the prompt changes to Gateway#.
Gateway> enable
Password: password
Gateway# 
Step 2 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when the prompt changes to Gateway(config)#.
Gateway# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Gateway(config)#
Step 3 Perform Step a or Step b, depending on your configuration:

a. Step a configures the CT1/CE DFC clock priority, trunk slot, and port that is providing the clocking source. Priority range is defined as a value from 1 to 99. DFC slot is defined as a value from 1 to 7. DS1 port number controller is defined as a value from 0 to 7.

Note DS1 port specifies T1 port.
Gateway(config)# dial-tdm-clock priority priority# {external | freerun | slot/ds1 port}
b. Step b configures the CT3 DFC clock priority, trunk slot, and port that is providing the clocking source. Priority range is defined as a value from 1 to 99.

DFC slot is defined as a value from 1 to 7. DS3 port specifies the T3 port. DS1 port number controller is defined as a value between 1 and 28.
Gateway(config)# dial-tdm-clock priority priority# {external | freerun | slot/ds3 port:ds1 port}
Step 4 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Gateway(config)# Ctrl-Z
Gateway#
Tip To save the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM. Refer to the "Saving Configuration Changes" section.

Clocking Configuration Examples

In the following example, a BITS clock is set at priority 1:
Gateway(config)# dial-tdm-clock priority 1 external
Gateway(config)# exit
Gateway#
In the following example, a trunk clock from an 8 PRI CT1 DFC is set at priority 2 and uses slot 4 and ds1 port (controller) 6:
Gateway(config)# dial-tdm-clock priority 2 4/6
Gateway(config)# exit
In the following example, a trunk clock from a CT3 DFC is set at priority 2 and uses slot 1, ds3 port 0, and ds1 port 19:
Gateway(config)# dial-tdm-clock priority 2 1/0:19
Gateway(config)# exit
In the following example, free-running clock is set at priority 3:
Gateway(config)# dial-tdm-clock priority 3 free
Gateway(config)# exit
Verify

You can verify the system primary and backup clocks, the status of all trunk DFC controller clocks, and information about and the history of the last 20 TDM clock changes and the events that caused them.

•Verify your default system clocks and clock history by using the show tdm clocks command (this example is for T1/E1):

Tip The most common reason for clock slip problems is that the dial-tdm-clock priority parameter is set improperly. Change the default setting for dial-tdm-clock priority from free-running clock to a setting that matches your system requirements.

Saving Configuration Changes

To prevent the loss of the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM, by following these steps:

Step 1 Enter the enable command and password to go to privileged EXEC mode. You are in privileged EXEC mode when the prompt changes to Gateway#.
Gateway> enable
Password: password
Gateway# 
Step 2 Save the configuration changes to NVRAM so that they are not lost during resets, power cycles, or power outages:
Gateway# copy running-config startup-config
Step 3 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Gateway(config-if)# Ctrl-Z 
Gateway#
Voice over IP

Prerequisites

Before you can configure your universal gateway to use Voice over IP, you must first do the following:

•Establish a working IP network. For more information about configuring IP, refer to the appropriate release of the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide.
You can access this document at Cisco Product Documentation > Cisco IOS Software Configuration >
Cisco IOS Software Release you are using > Configuration Guides and Command References.

•Complete basic configuration for the universal gateway, which includes, as a minimum, the following tasks:

–Complete your company's dial plan.

–Establish a working telephony network based on your company's dial plan.

•Integrate your dial plan and telephony network into your existing IP network topology. Merging your IP and telephony networks depends on your particular IP and telephony network topology. In general, Cisco recommends the following suggestions:

–Use canonical numbers wherever possible. It is important to avoid situations in which numbering systems are significantly different on different routers or universal gateways in your network.

–Make routing and dialing transparent to the user—for example, avoid secondary dial tones from secondary switches, where possible.

Configuration Tasks

•Configure your IP network for real-time voice traffic

You need to have a well-engineered network end-to-end when running delay-sensitive applications such as VoIP. Fine-tuning your network to adequately support VoIP involves a series of protocols and features geared toward quality of service (QoS). It is beyond the scope of this quick start guide to explain the specific details relating to wide-scale QoS deployment. To configure your IP network for real-time voice traffic, you must consider the entire scope of your network, then select the appropriate QoS tool or tools.

It is important to remember that QoS must be configured throughout your network—not just on the universal gateway devices running VoIP—to improve voice network performance. Not all QoS techniques are appropriate for all network routers. Edge routers and backbone routers in your network do not necessarily perform the same operations; the QoS tasks they perform might also differ. To configure your IP network for real-time voice traffic, you must consider the functions of both edge and backbone routers in your network, then select the appropriate QoS tool or tools.

To configure QoS, refer to the relevant chapters of the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide. You can access this document at Cisco Product Documentation > Cisco IOS Software Configuration > Cisco IOS Software Release you are using > Configuration Guides and Command References.

•Configure dial peers

Configuring dial peers is the key to setting up dial plans and implementing voice over a packet network. Dial peers are used to identify call source and destination endpoints and to define the characteristics applied to each call leg in the call connection.

For more information about VoIP, refer to the Cisco IOS Multiservice Applications Configuration Guide. You can access this document at Cisco Product Documentation > Cisco IOS Software > Cisco IOS Software Release you are using > Configuration Guides and Command References.

Where to Go Next

For additional specialized configuration procedures, refer to the appropriate Cisco IOS software configuration documentation on the Documentation CD-ROM and on Cisco.com:
