Information About ISDN BRI

The Cisco IOS software provides an enhanced Multiple ISDN Switch Types feature that allows you to apply an ISDN switch type to a specific ISDN interface and configure more than one ISDN switch type per router. This feature allows both ISDN BRI and ISDN PRI to run simultaneously on platforms that support both interface types. Cisco IOS software supports both the ISDN BRI and the ISDN PRI.

ISDN BRI provides two bearer (B) channels, each capable of transferring voice or data at 64 kb/s, and one 16 kb/s data (D) signaling channel, which is used by the telephone network to carry instructions about how to handle each of the B channels. ISDN BRI (also referred to as 2 B + D) provides a maximum transmission speed of 128 kb/s, but many users use only half the available bandwidth. This section covers the following topics:

Requesting BRI Line and Switch Configuration from a Telco Service Provider

Before configuring ISDN BRI on your Cisco router, you must order a correctly configured ISDN line from your telecommunications service provider. This process varies from provider to provider on a national and international basis. However, some general guidelines follow:

  • Ask for two channels to be called by one number.
  • Ask for delivery of calling line identification. Providers sometimes call this CLI or automatic number identification (ANI).
  • Ask for a point-to-point service and a data-only line if the router will be the only device attached to the BRI.
  • Ask for point-to-multipoint service (subaddressing is required) and a voice-and-data line if the router will be attached to an ISDN bus (to which other ISDN devices might be attached).

When you order ISDN service for switches used in North America, request the BRI switch configuration attributes specified in Table 1 .

Interface Configuration

The Cisco IOS software also provides custom features for configuring the ISDN BRI interface. The interface provides capabilities like call screening, called party-number verification, and ISDN default cause code override. For European and Australian customers, the interface provides Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS)-plus-ISDN-subaddress binding to allow multiple binds between a dialer profile and an ISDN B channel.

Multiple ISDN Switch Types Feature

The Cisco IOS software provides an enhanced Multiple ISDN Switch Types feature that allows you to apply an ISDN switch type to a specific ISDN interface and configure more than one ISDN switch type per router. This feature allows both ISDN BRI and ISDN PRI to run simultaneously on platforms that support both interface types.

This section covers the following topics:

Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations

Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.1, encapsulation techniques such as Frame Relay, High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), Link Access Procedure, Balanced-Terminal Adapter (LAPB-TA), and X.25 could support only one ISDN B-channel connection over the entire link. HDLC and PPP could support multiple B channels, but the entire ISDN link needed to use the same encapsulation. The Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations feature introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.1 allows various encapsulation types and per-user configurations on the same ISDN B channel at different times depending on the type of incoming call.

With the Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations feature, once calling line identification (CLID) binding is completed, the topmost interface is always used for all configuration and data structures. The ISDN B channel becomes a forwarding device, and the configuration on the D channel is ignored, thereby allowing the different encapsulation types and per-user configurations. Dynamic multiple encapsulations provide support for packet assembler/disassembler (PAD) traffic and X.25 encapsulated and switched packets. For X.25 encapsulations, the configurations reside on the dialer profile.

Dynamic multiple encapsulation is especially important in Europe, where ISDN is relatively expensive and the maximum use of all the 30 B channels on the same ISDN link is desirable. Further, the feature removes the need to statically dedicate channels to a particular encapsulation and configuration type, and improves channel usage.

Figure 1 shows a typical configuration for an X.25 network in Europe. The Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations feature allows the use of all the 30 B channels, and supports calls that originate in diverse areas of the network and converge on the same ISDN PRI.

Figure 1 European X.25 Network

 

Interface Configuration Options

You can also optionally configure the snapshot routing for the ISDN interfaces. Snapshot routing is a method of dynamically learning remote routes and keeping the routes available for a specified period of time, even though routing updates are not exchanged during that period.

To place calls on an ISDN interface, you must configure the interface with dial-on-demand routing (DDR). For configuration information about ISDN by using DDR, see the “Dial-on-Demand Routing Configuration” part of this publication. For command information, refer to the Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Command Reference .

To configure the bandwidth on demand, see the modules “Configuring Legacy DDR Spokes” or “Configuring Legacy DDR Hubs” in the Cisco IOS Dial Solutions Configuration Guide.

ISDN Cause Codes

A cause code is an information element (IE) that indicates why an ISDN call failed or was disconnected. When the originating gateway receives a Release Complete message, it generates a tone corresponding to the cause code in the message.

Table 2 lists the default cause codes that the VoIP (Voice over IP) gateway sends to the switch when a call fails at the gateway, and the corresponding tones that it generates.

 

Table 2 Cause Codes Generated by the Cisco VoIP Gateway

Cause Code
Description
Explanation
Tone

1

Unallocated (unassigned) number

The ISDN number is not assigned to any destination equipment.

Reorder

3

No route to destination

The call was routed through an intermediate network that does not serve the destination address.

Reorder

16

Normal call clearing

Normal call clearing has occurred.

Dial

17

User busy

The called system acknowledged the connection request but was unable to accept the call because all B channels were in use.

Busy

19

No answer from user (user alerted)

The destination responded to the connection request but failed to complete the connection within the prescribed time. The problem is at the remote end of the connection.

Reorder

28

Invalid number format

The connection could not be established because the destination address was presented in an unrecognizable format or because the destination address was incomplete.

Reorder

34

No circuit/channel available

The connection could not be established because no appropriate channel was available to take the call.

Reorder

For a complete list of ISDN cause codes that are generated by the switch, refer to “Appendix B: ISDN Switch Types, Codes and Values” in the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference .

Although the VoIP gateway generates the cause codes listed in Table 2 by default, there are commands introduced in previous Cisco IOS releases that can override these defaults, thereby allowing the gateway to send different cause codes to the switch. The following commands override the default cause codes:

  • isdn disconnect-cause —Sends the specified cause code to the switch when a call is disconnected.
  • isdn network-failure-cause —Sends the specified cause code to the switch when a call fails because of internal network failures.
  • isdn voice-call-failure —Sends the specified cause code to the switch when an inbound voice call fails with no specific cause code.

When you implement these commands, the configured cause codes are sent to the switch; otherwise, the default cause codes of the voice application are sent. For a complete description of these commands, refer to the Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Command Reference .

How to Configure ISDN BRI

To configure ISDN lines and interfaces, perform the following tasks:

See the Monitoring and Maintaining ISDN Interfaces sections on page 452 and the “Troubleshooting ISDN Interfaces” section on page 453 in this module for tips on maintaining your network. See the section “Configuration Examples for Configuring ISDN BRI” section on page 455 for sample configurations.

Specifies an IP address for the interface.

Step 5

end

 

Router# end

Exits interface configuration mode.

Specifying ISDN SPIDs

Some service providers use service profile identifiers (SPIDs) to define the services subscribed to by the ISDN device that is accessing the ISDN service provider. The service provider assigns the ISDN device one or more SPIDs when you first subscribe to the service. If you are using a service provider that requires SPIDs, your ISDN device cannot place or receive calls until it sends a valid, assigned SPID to the service provider when accessing the switch to initialize the connection.

Currently, only the DMS-100 and NI switch types require SPIDs. The AT&T 5ESS switch type may support a SPID, but we recommend that you set up the ISDN service without SPIDs. In addition, SPIDs have significance only at the local access ISDN interface. Remote routers never receive the SPID.

A SPID is usually a seven-digit telephone number with some optional numbers. However, service providers may use different numbering schemes. The DMS-100 switch type has two SPIDs — one for each B channel.

The isdn spid1 and isdn spid2 commands enable the router to define the SPIDs and the local directory number (LDN) on the router.

SUMMARY STEPS

2. configure terminal

3. interface bri number

4. isdn spid1 word

5. isdn spid2 word

Step 6

end

 

Router# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

The LDN is optional but might be necessary if the router is to answer calls made to the second directory number.

Configuring Encapsulation on ISDN BRI

Each ISDN B channel is treated as a synchronous serial line, and the default serial encapsulation is HDLC. The Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations feature allows incoming calls over ISDN to be assigned an encapsulation type such as Frame Relay, PPP, and X.25, based on CLID or DNIS. PPP encapsulation is configured for most ISDN communication.

Perform this task to configure encapsulation on the ISDN BRI.

Step 5

end

 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

Verifying the Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations Feature

To verify dialer interfaces configured for binding and to see statistics on each physical interface bound to the dialer interface, use the show interfaces command.

The following example shows that the output under the B channel keeps all the hardware counts that are not displayed under any logical or virtual access interface. The line in the report that states “Interface is bound to Dialer0 (Encapsulation LAPB)” indicates that this B interface is bound to the dialer 0 interface and that the encapsulation running over this connection is LAPB, not PPP, which is the encapsulation configured on the D interface and inherited by the B channel.

Any protocol configuration and states should be displayed from the dialer interface 0.

Encapsulation Configuration Notes

The router might need to communicate with devices that require a different encapsulation protocol or the router might send traffic over a Frame Relay or X.25 network. The Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations feature provides bidirectional support of all serial encapsulations except Frame Relay.

To configure the router for automatic detection of encapsulation type on incoming calls, or to configure encapsulation for Cisco 700 and 800 series (formerly Combined) router compatibility, see the section “Configuring Automatic Detection of Encapsulation Type” in the module “Configuring ISDN Special Signaling” in this publication.

Configuring Network Addressing

Perform this task to configure network addressing.

This task supports the primary goals of network addressing:

  • Define the packets that are interesting and those that will cause the router to make an outgoing call.
  • Define the remote host where the calls are going.
  • Specify whether broadcast messages will be sent.
  • Specify the dialing string to be used in the call.

Intermediate steps that use shared argument values tie the host identification and dial string to the interesting packets to be sent to that host.

Step 9

exit

 

Router(config)# exit

Exits global configuration mode.

German networks allow semipermanent connections between customer routers with BRIs and the 1TR6 basic rate switches in the exchange. Semipermanent connections are less expensive than leased lines.


Note The access list reference in Step 8 of this task is an example of the access-list commands allowed by different protocols. Some protocols might require a different command form or might require multiple commands. Refer to the relevant protocol module in the network protocol configuration guide (the Cisco IOS Novell IPX Configuration Guide, for example) for more information about setting up access lists for a protocol.


For more information about defining outgoing call numbers, see the modules “Configuring Legacy DDR Hubs” and “Configuring Legacy DDR Spokes” in the Cisco IOS Dial Solutions Configuration Guide.

Configuring TEI Negotiation Timing

Perform this task to configure terminal endpoint identifier (TEI) negotiation timing.

The isdn tei command enables the router to apply the TEI negotiation to a specific BRI interface.

You can configure the ISDN TEI negotiation on individual ISDN interfaces. The TEI negotiation is useful for switches that may deactivate Layers 1 or 2 when there are no active calls. Typically, this setting is used for ISDN service offerings in Europe and connections to DMS-100 switches that are designed to initiate the TEI negotiation.

By default, TEI negotiation occurs when the router is powered up. The TEI negotiation value configured on an interface overrides the default or global TEI value. For example, if you configure isdn tei first-call globally and isdn tei powerup on BRI interface 0, then the TEI negotiation powerup is the value applied to BRI interface 0. It is not necessary to configure TEI negotiation unless you wish to override the default value ( isdn tei powerup) .

Determines when ISDN TEI negotiation occurs.

Step 5

end

 

Router(config-if)# exit

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

Configuring CLI Screening

Perform this task to configure CLI screening.

CLI screening adds a level of security by allowing you to screen incoming calls. You can verify that the calling line ID is from an expected origin. CLI screening requires a local switch that is capable of delivering the CLI to the router.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface bri number

4. isdn caller word

Configures caller ID screening.

Step 5

end

 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.


Note If caller ID screening is configured and the local switch does not deliver caller IDs, the router rejects all calls.



Note In releases prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.1, ISDN accepted all synchronous calls and performed some minimal CLI screening before accepting or rejecting a call. Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.1, DDR provides a separate process that screens for the profile of the caller. The new screening process also checks that enough resources are available to accept the call and that the call conforms to predetermined rules. When the call is found acceptable, the screening process searches for a matching profile for the caller. The call is accepted only when there is a matching profile.


Configuring Called-Party Number Verification

Perform this task to configure called-party number verification.

When multiple devices are attached to an ISDN BRI, you can ensure that only a single device answers an incoming call by verifying the number or subaddress in the incoming call against the configured number or subaddress or both of the device.

You can specify that the router verifies the called-party number or subaddress number in the incoming setup message for ISDN BRI calls, if the number is delivered by the switch. You can do so by configuring the number that is allowed.

Specifies that the router verify a called-party number or subaddress number in the incoming setup message.

Step 5

isdn answer2 [ called-party-number ] [ : subaddress ]

 

Router(config-if)# isdn answer2 [567][:45903]

Specifies that the router verify a second called-party number or subaddress number in the incoming setup message.

Step 6

end

 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

Verifying the called-party number ensures that only the desired router responds to an incoming call. If you want to allow an additional number for the router, you can configure it, too.

Configuring ISDN Calling Number Identification

A router with an ISDN BRI interface might need to supply the ISDN network with a billing number for outgoing calls. Some networks offer better pricing on calls that display the number. When configured, this information is included in the outgoing call Setup message.

Perform this task to configure the interface to identify the billing number.

The isdn calling-number command can be used with all switch types except German 1TR6 ISDN BRI switches.

Configuring the Line Speed for Calls Not ISDN End to End

Perform this task to configure the line speed for calls that are not ISDN from end to end.

When calls are made at 56 kb/s but delivered by the ISDN network at 64 kb/s, the incoming data can get corrupted. However, on ISDN calls, if the receiving side is informed that the call is not an ISDN call from end to end, the ISDN network can set the line speed for the incoming call.

Step 5

end

 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

Configuring a Fast Rollover Delay

Perform this task to configure a fast rollover delay.

Sometimes a router attempts to dial a call on an ISDN B channel before the previous call is completely torn down. The fast rollover fails because the second call is made to a different number before the B channel is released from the unsuccessful call. This failure might occur in the following ISDN configurations:

  • The two B channels of the BRI are not configured as a hunt group, but have separate numbers defined.
  • The B channel is not released by the ISDN switch until after Release Complete signal is processed.

You need to configure this delay if a BRI on a remote peer has two phone numbers configured one for each B channel you are dialing into this BRI. You also need to configure this delay if you have a dialer map for each phone number and the first call succeeds but a second call fails with no channel available.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface bri number

4. isdn fast-rollover-delay seconds

Step 5

end

 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

A delay of 5 seconds should cover most cases. Configure sufficient delay to ensure the ISDN RELEASE_COMPLETE message has been sent or received before making the fast rollover call. Use the debug isdn q931 command to display this information. This pattern of failed second calls is a rare occurrence.

Overriding ISDN Application Default Cause Codes

Perform this task to override ISDN application default cause codes.

The ISDN Cause Code Override function is useful for overriding the default cause code of ISDN applications. When this feature is implemented, the configured cause code is sent to the switch; otherwise, default cause codes of the application are sent.

Configuring ISDN Semipermanent Connections

German networks allow semipermanent connections between customer routers with BRI interfaces and the 1TR6 basic rate switches in the exchange. Australian networks allow semipermanent connections between ISDN PRI interfaces and the TS-014 primary rate switches in the exchange. Semipermanent connections are better priced than leased lines.

Configuring BRI interfaces for semipermanent connection requires only a keyword that indicates the semipermanent connections when you are setting up network addressing as described in the previous section of this module.

To configure a BRI for semipermanent connections, follow this procedure:


Step 1 Set up the ISDN lines and ports as described in the sections “Configuring the ISDN BRI Switch” and “Specifying Interface Characteristics for an ISDN BRI” . For ISDN PRI, see the section “How to Configure ISDN PRI” in the module “Configuring ISDN PRI” .

Step 2 Configure DDR on a selected interface, as described in the “Dial-on-Demand Routing Configuration” part of this publication.

Step 5

end

 

Router(config)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

Configuring ISDN BRI for Leased-Line Service

To configure ISDN BRI for leased-line service, perform the tasks in one of the following sections as needed and available:

  • Configuring Leased-Line Service at Normal Speeds (Available in Japan and Germany)
  • Configuring Leased-Line Service at 128 Kb/s (Available only in Japan)

Note When an ISDN BRI interface is configured for access over leased lines, it is no longer a dialer interface, and signaling over the D channel no longer applies. Although the interface is called interface bri n, it is configured as a synchronous serial interface having the default High-Level Data Link (HDLC) encapsulation. However, the Cisco IOS commands that set the physical characteristics of a serial interface (such as the pulse time) do not apply to this interface.


Configuring Leased-Line Service at Normal Speeds

This service is offered in Japan and Germany and no call setup or teardown is involved. Data is placed on the ISDN interface similar to the way data is placed on a leased line connected to a serial port.

The isdn leased-line bri command enable the router to configure the BRI to use the ISDN connection as a leased-line service. The no isdn leased-line bri command removes the leased-line configuration from a specified ISDN BRI interface.

Specifies the combined B1 and B2 channels leased lines.

Step 4

end

 

Router(config)# end

Exits global configuration mode.

Configuring Leased-Line Service at 128 Kb/s

The Cisco IOS software supports leased-line service at 128 kb/s via ISDN BRI. This service combines two B channels into a single pipe. This feature requires one or more ISDN BRI hardware interfaces that support channel aggregation, and service provider support for ISDN channel aggregation at 128 kb/s. When this software first became available, service providers offered support for ISDN channel aggregation at 128 kb/s only in Japan.

The isdn leased-line bri commands enable the router to configure the BRI to use the ISDN connection as a leased-line service at 128kb/s.


Note This feature is not supported on the Cisco 2500 series router because its BRI hardware does not support channel aggregation.


The no isdn leased-line bri command command removes the leased-line configuration from a specified ISDN BRI interface.

  • debug q921 —Checks Layer 2 (data link layer).
  • debug isdn events —Checks the network layer.
  • debug q931—Checks the network layer.
  • debug dialer—Checks the network layer.
  • show dialer—Checks the network layer.

Refer to the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference for more information about the debug commands.
