Introduction

This document explains how Continuity Testing (COT) works for the Cisco PGW 2200 in configured signaling mode. COT is an automated diagnostic procedure performed in the Signaling System 7 (SS7) Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) between switches to ensure that circuits are in service and not experiencing excessive signal loss. This validation is performed by sending tones across the bearer channel. It is performed on a sampling basis. For instance, on 10 percent of the calls (in the Cisco PGW 2200, the sampling rate is defined by CotPercentage).

Prerequisites

Requirements

Background Information

Since the bearer path is distinct from the signaling path, SS7 requires specific means to validate the bearer channel before the call is established.

COT is requested by the Cisco PGW 2200 originating as an IAM request or as a separate SS7 ISUP message using the Continuity Check Request (CCR) or Circuit Reservation Message (CRM). Two types of COT are Loopback and Transponder (Tone check) methods (see the table). The destination Cisco PGW 2200 places the related circuit in either Loopback mode 2010 Hz or in Transponder mode 1780 Hz (see the table). The Loopback form of COT is used on 4-wire trunks. In the 2-wire case, when the originating switch sends a tone, the receiving switch sends a different frequency tone in response. This is the Transponder mode of COT. If the circuit testing fails during COT, alarm information is generated allowing diagnostic software to busy out the trunk, which can be checked with the man-machine language (MML) command rtrv-alms. Calls are prevented from being routed to the circuit and are COT failed.

Cisco PGW 2200 - SS7 COT Configuration and Troubleshooting in Signaling Mode

The Cisco PGW2200 software application performs the signaling and/or call control tasks. This section will talk about the signaling mode. The Cisco PGW 2200 sends NI2+ commands to NAS to transmit and detect tones or loopback circuit.

- Termination - The Cisco PGW 2200 receives an IAM, CCR or CRM indicating that COT is required.

Single Tone (Loop)

- Origination - The Cisco PGW 2200 sends an IAM, CCR, or CRM indicating that COT is required.

- Single Tone (Loop)

- Percentage Based (0 - 100%)

- The Cisco PGW 2200 MML tst-cot command.

SS7 COT Working

Look at an SS7 sniffer trace (Cisco Snooper PT-MTC) for an SS7 IAM message. This is used to check the message into the IAM on CONTINUITY CHECK IND which has a value equal to 1. This indicates that you need to do a CCR required on this circuit.

Note: No test is performed in case the value equals 0 (0 Continuity_check_not_required).

SS7 COT Configuration on the Cisco PGW 2200

If you want to check the configuration using MML, run the command prov-rtrv:sigsvcprop to find out the COT settings. You need to edit the properties.dat using MML commands to set-up the method (Loop or Tone) and tones (2010 and 1780) correctly.

SS7 COT Troubleshooting on the Cisco PGW 2200 in Signaling Mode

If you run into a COT test failure, this can be viewed on the Cisco PGW 2200 in a variety of ways. The simplest is to use the MML utility and the MML command rtrv-alms:cont to receive continuous alarm updates.

1. Clear alarms using the MML command clr-alm:<comp>:"<alm cat>".

Note: From Cisco PGW 2200 release 9.4(1) clr-alms is removed from the MML command (refer to Cisco bug ID CSCdy63984 (registered customers only) for further information). You can first retrieve the current alarm status using rtrv-alms. Entering help at the mml> prompt provides you with a listing of all MML commands.

2. Attempt to put the Circuit Identification Code (CIC) back into service (the remote end may not comply).

1. On the Cisco PGW 2200, use the MML command unblk-cic:<point code>:CIC=<number>. You can then retrieve the CIC status by using the MML command rtrv-cic:<point code>:CIC=<number> or use the rtrv-tc:all command.

2. On the NAS, use the configuration command isdn service dsl <dsl #> b_channel <channel #> state <0 = In service> available under the interface Serial0:15 interface command. You can then retrieve the B-channel status using the show isdn service command at the console log.

For example:

AS5300(config-if)#isdn service dsl 0 b_channel 1 state 0

3. Next, you can also run a manual COT testing again. Manual COT tests can be initiated on the Cisco PGW 2200 without requiring the SS7 network to initiate a COT test.

For example, on PGW2200a:

mml> tst-cot:<point code>:CIC=<number>

If you run into COT problems, issue the debug isdn q931 command on the NAS, as shown in this figure.

This figure xplains the MML tst-cot command and the CCR sent out to the SS7, including the debug isdn q931command output.

SS7 COT Troubleshooting on the Cisco PGW 2200 in Call Control

This section contains the MGCP COT callflow for the PGW 2200 Call Control situation. The Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) organizes the communication between a Media Gateway controller [Cisco PGW2200] and a Media Gateway [Cisco AS5xxx]. This section shows Cisco snooper trace detail for a hairpinning call with loopback COT' and a manual MML cot test from the PGW 2200.

In this figure, COT is initiated by the PSTN switch that sends the IAM request. This PSTN switch reports the test result using a SS7 COT message if successful or a SS7 Release message if failed. The Cisco PGW 2200 puts the related circuit either in loopback mode or in transponder mode. The Cisco PGW 2200 that receives an IAM requesting COT (or a CCR message) first checks for the ExtCOT parameter in the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/properties.dat file.

Hairpinning Call Example with Loopback COT

Upon recept of the SS7 IAM message with the CONTINUITY CHECK IND = 1 which means Continuity_check_required_on_this_circuit, the PGW 2200 recognizes that a continuity test has been requested. It immediately sends a CRCX CreateConnection message to the Cisco Gateway with a M: loopback to put a loopback on the incoming trunk.

You also can run the MML tst-cot command to execute a continuity test on a specified remote switch circuit.

- Format: tst-cot:<sig path>:CIC=<number>

- Description:

- * sig path—MML component name of a provisioning component signal path.

- * CIC=<number>—A numeric value which identifies the ISUP circuit identification code number.

For example, this MML command executes a continuity test on c7srv-bru7 for CIC-2:

PGW2200a mml>tst-cot:c7srv-bru7:cic=2

MGC-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2002-09-19 13:26:51.530 WET

M RTRV

SCNF

"c7srv-bru7"

/* Passed */

;

PGW2200a mml>

From the MGCP CRCX message, you can see the co1 of 2010 Hz or [co2 of 1780 Hz].
