Cisco High-Density Analog Voice and Fax Service Modules provide enterprises, managed services providers, and service providers the ability to directly connect public-switched telephone networks (PSTNs) and existing telephony equipment to Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers. The fixed-port (FXS) module provides Dual-Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) detection, voice compression and decompression, call progress tone generation, Voice Activity Detection (VAD), echo cancellation, and adaptive jitter buffering.
Cisco SM-X is a service module that can be inserted into the service module slots on Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers. Cisco SM-X provides VoIP connectivity to analog devices such as analog desk phones, analog conference room phones, fax machines and modems. Cisco SM-X provides a high number of FXS ports per RU on Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers.
The FXS port is used to connect analog phones, modems, fax machines, and speaker phones to an enterprise IP voice system, so you can use them as extensions to your Cisco or third-party IP call-control system. Having these devices tightly integrated with the IP-based phone system is advantageous for increased manageability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. The Direct Inward Dialing (DID) port is used to provide off-premises DID connection from the central office. It serves only incoming calls from the PSTN. Caller ID is not supported in DID mode.
Cisco SM-X double-wide service module has 72 FXS port network voice module.
The features of the SM-X-72FXS are as follows:
■Number of FXS Ports—72 (Port 0 to Port 71)
■Number of Ports Configurable as FXS-E—16 for 72FXS mode and 56 for 56FXS-E mode
■Max RENs/Port—5 REN/FXS Port and 2 REN/FXS-E Port
■Total REN: 72FXS—40 and 56FXS-E—30
The following table provides information about Cisco SM-X double-wide service module SKU:
The slot, bay, and port information for Cisco SM-X double-wide FXS service module is as follows:
Cisco SM-X double-wide service module is supported on Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers effective with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.7.1 and later.
The new generation of Cisco High-Density Analog Voice and Fax Service Modules improves upon the previous high-density analog and digital extension modules (EVMs). These improvements are as follows:
■ On-board Digital Signal Processor (DSP)— The FXS service module contains an onboard DSP and don’t require the router to have a dedicated packet voice DSP module (PVDM) on the motherboard. The DSP on the voice module is necessary for the voice features. It also provides for echo cancellation of up to 128-ms echo-tail length for demanding network conditions.
■ Support for Online Insertion and Removal (OIR)— The FXS service module supports Online Insertion and Removal (OIR), reducing the downtime required for new or replacement modules. The service modules can be inserted into the SM-X slot on Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers without powering off the router.
■ FXS-E (extended loops) support— FXS ports on the new modules support FXS-E with the following details:
–Higher loop current (35 mA) to accommodate specialty phones
–Longer loop length for loops with 26 AWG wire, up to 11,000 feet (3400 meters)
–Higher ringing voltage (65 Vrms, no load)
Note: Switching between the modes requires reload of the ISR chassis.
In addition to the above features, the service modules supports the following features:
■G722, iLBC, GSMAMR-NB, and Internet Speech Audio Codec (iSAC)
■Fax detection, pass-through, and relay (T.38)
■Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP)
■Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP)
■Noise reduction is on the roadmap
■Support for either FXS or DID functionality
Cisco High-Density Analog Voice and Fax Service Modules are ideal for analog phone deployments ranging from centralized to sparsely concentrated or distributed topologies. Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers offer many supplementary analog calling features, depending on the call control and signaling type used. All supplementary analog features are supported through the FXS service module. The analog interface on Cisco 4000 Series also supports Feature Access Codes (FACs) for invoking supplementary services.
FXS ports on the Cisco High-Density Analog Voice and Fax Service Modules support fax machines and modems. When using fax machines, the gateways support T.38 fax relay and fax pass-through. T.38 fax relay technologies allow transfer of faxes across the network with high reliability using less bandwidth than a voice call. All modems can be connected to the Cisco VG Series Gateways and are transferred over the network using modem pass-through.
The voice gateways support the following protocols:
■Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP)
■Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP)
■Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
■Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
■Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
■Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express redundancy support using Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)
■Call survivability: MGCP failover to an H.323 connection to the Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) router
■T.38 fax relay and modem pass-through
■Codec support: G.711, and G.729a
■RADIUS and TACACS+ for Telnet and authorization

This section contains the following warning statements. A warning means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before working on an equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and standard safety practices to prevent accidents.
This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.
Warning: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001
Warning: To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
Warning: Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026
Warning: This equipment contains a ring signal generator (ringer), which is a source of hazardous voltage. Do not touch the RJ-11 (phone) port wires (conductors), the conductors of a cable connected to the RJ-11 port, or the associated circuit-board when the ringer is active. The ringer is activated by an incoming call. Statement 1042
Warning: For connections outside the building where the equipment is installed, the following ports must be connected through an approved network termination unit with integral circuit protection.
FXS Statement 1044
1. Shut down the electrical power to the slot in the router either by turning off the electrical power to the router or by issuing the online insertion and removal (OIR) commands. Leave the power cable plugged in to channel ESD voltages to ground. For more information on OIR, see the “Managing Cisco Enhanced Services and Network Interface Modules” chapter in the Cisco 4000 Series ISRs Software Configuration Guide..
2. Remove all network cables from the rear panel of the router.
3. Remove the blank faceplates installed over the network interface module slot that you intend to use.
Tip: Save blank faceplates for future use.
4. Align the module with the guides in the chassis walls or slot divider and slide it gently into the NIM slot on the router.
5. Push the module into place until you feel the edge connector seat securely into the connector on the router backplane. The module faceplate should contact the chassis rear panel.
6. Using a number 1 Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the captive screws on the network interface module.
7. Connect the module to the network and reenable the power to the slot in the router.
■Obtain two-wire line service from your service provider or from a PBX.
■Complete your company’s dial plan.
■Establish a working telephony network based on your company’s dial plan.
■Establish a working connection to the network.
■Install appropriate voice interface hardware on the router
■Gather the following information about the telephony connection of the voice port:
