RMS Configuration

RMS Configuration

Before you can use an RMS with Cisco IPICS or perform the RMS management tasks that are described in "Administration Console: System Administrator Tasks," you must configure the RMS. Cisco IPICS will not support an RMS that is not configured as described in this appendix.

When you set up an RMS, follow these guidelines:

•Configure at least two T1 controllers and assign DS0 groups to each controller. In addition, allocate only as many DS0s on a controller as the RMS can support simultaneously. The ports that you allocate must start with port 0 and must be sequential. Typically, a controller will support 24 DS0s, but your controller may support fewer, depending on the number of available DSPs. Allocating more DS0s than a controller has resources to support can cause loss of voice and voice quality issues.

•Configure T1 controllers for individual voice ports by including this command in the router configuration.

DS0-group DS0-group-number timeslots timeslot-list type e&m-lmr
Where:

–DS0-group DS0-group number identifies the DS0 group and must be a a value from 0 to 23. DS0 groups must start with 0 and must be sequential.

–timeslots timeslot-list specifies a single time-slot number. For T1, allowable values range from 1 to 24.

For example,
DS0-group 0 timeslots 24 type e&m-lmr
DS0-group 1 timeslots 1 type e&m-lmr
...
DS0-group 23 timeslots 23 type e&m-lmr
These commands specify the DS0 time slots that define logical voice ports on a T1 controller and specify the signaling type by which the router communicates with the PSTN.

If you want to configure only 12 DS0s, configure DS0 groups 0 through 11 in this example.

To configure an RMS to interact with the Cisco IPICS sever, perform the following steps.

Note The following steps uses sparse-dense-mode. The design of your multicast network may require you to use an ip pim mode other than sparse-dense-mode.

Procedure

Step 1 Configure DS0 groups on controllers by including the following commands in the router configuration.

Note The clock command should be used for only one of the two controllers in a loopback.

Use these commands for the first controller in a loopback pair:
Router(config)#controller T1 1/0
Router(config-controller)#framing esf
Router(config-controller)#clock source internal
Router(config-controller)#linecode b8zs
Router(config-controller)#cablelength short 133
Router(config-controller)#DS0-group 0 timeslots 24 type e&m-lmr
Router(config-controller)#DS0-group 1 timeslots 1 type e&m-lmr
Router(config-controller)#DS0-group 2 timeslots 2 type e&m-lmr
...
Router(config-controller)#no shutdown
Use these commands for the second controller in a loopback pair:
Router(config)#controller T1 1/1
Router(config-controller)#framing esf
Router(config-controller)#linecode b8zs
Router(config-controller)#cablelength short 133
Router(config-controller)#DS0-group 0 timeslots 24 type e&m-lmr
Router(config-controller)#DS0-group 1 timeslots 1 type e&m-lmr
Router(config-controller)#DS0-group 2 timeslots 2 type e&m-lmr
...
Router(config-controller)#no shutdown
Step 2 Enable multicast routing in the router by including the IP multicast-routing command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#ip multicast-routing
Step 3 Create a virtual interface for multicast communication by including the following commands in the router configuration.
Router(config)#interface Vif1
Router(config-if)#ip address ip_address subnet_mask
Router(config-if)#ip pim sparse-dense-mode
Step 4 Create a loopback interface for voice signaling and media by including these command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#interface Loopback0
Router(config-if)#ip address ip_address subnet_mask
Router(config-if)#ip pim sparce-dense-mode
Step 5 Assign voice signaling and media to the loopback interface by including these command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#voice service voip 
Router(conf-voi-serv)#sip
Router(conf-serv-sip)#bind control source-interface Loopback0
Router(conf-serv-sip)#bind media source-interface Loopback0
Step 6 Enable multicast routing for each interface that will participate in multicast traffic by including this command in the router configuration for each participating interface:
Router(config-if)#ip pim sparse-dense-mode
Step 7 Create a voice class that will be applied to all voice configurations by including these command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#voice class permanent 1
Router(config-class)#signal timing oos timeout disabled
Router(config-class)#signal keepalive disabled
Router(config-class)#signal sequence oos no-action
Step 8 Create a cryptographic key to enable SSL (HTTPS) secure access from the Cisco IPICS server by including this command in the router configuration
Router(config)#ip http secure-server
Step 9 Enable log in through Telnet and SSH by including these command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#line vty 0 15
Router(config-line)#transport input telnet ssh
Router(config-line)#exec-timeout 22 0
Router(config-line)#privilege level 15
Router(config-line)#login local
Note Optimally, set exec-timeout to 22 (22 minutes). Setting to a shorter time such as 5 or 10 minutes can cause undesirable delays every time that Cisco IPICS accesses the router, such as when you make a change to a VTG. Setting a long time such as 60 minutes can cause authorized logins to accumulate and cause the router to run out of open lines. Do not set exec-timeout to 0.

Step 10 Take these actions:

a. Create a user name and password for the router by including this command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#username username privilege 15 password 0 password
b. Apply the same password to the enable password on the router by including this command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#enable password 0 password
You will enter this user name and password in the Cisco IPICS Administration Console when you configure the RMS.

Step 11 Configure SIP inactivity timeout by including these commands in the router configuration:
Router(config)#ip rtcp report interval 5001
Router(config)#gateway
Router(config-gateway)#timer receive-rtcp 5
Step 12 Configure the list of codecs that Cisco IPICS will support by including these command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#voice class codec 1 
Router(config-class)#codec preference 1 g729r8 
Router(config-class)#codec preference 2 g711ulaw
Step 13 Create the following inbound dial peer by including the following commands in the router configuration.

These commands cause the default SIP PMC connection to have vad off.
Router(config)#dial-peer voice 555 voip
Router(config-dial-peer)#voice-class codec 1
Router(config-dial-peer)#session protocol sipv2
Router(config-dial-peer)#incoming called-number .
Router(config-dial-peer)#no vad
Step 14 Reset the router command prompt by including this command in the router configuration:
Router(config)#no prompt
Step 15 Execute the following command and verify that the output reflects the modifications that you have made in this procedure:
Router#show running-config
Step 16 Execute the following command to save the changes that you have made:

Router#copy running-config startup-config
