permit hostname (SIP)

To store hostnames used during validatation of initial incoming INVITE messages, use the permit hostname command in SIP-ua configuration mode. To remove a stored hostname, use the no form of this command.

permit hostname dns: domain name

no permit hostname

Syntax Description

dns: domain name

Domain name in DNS format. Domain names can be up to 30 characters in length; domain names exceeding 30 characters will be truncated.


Command Modes

SIP-ua configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.4(9)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The permit hostname command allows you to specify hostnames in FQDN (fully qualified domain name) format used during validation of incoming initial INVITE messages. The length of the hostname can be up to 30 characters; hostnames exceeding 30 characters will be truncated. You can store up to 10 hostnames by repeating the permit hostname command.

Once configured, initial INVITEs with a hostname in the requested Universal Resource Identifier (URI) are compared to the configured list of hostnames. If there is a match, the INVITE is processed; if there is a mismatch, a "400 Bad Request - Invalid Host" is sent, and the call is rejected.


Note Before Software Release 12.4(9)T, hostnames in incoming INVITE-request messages were only validated when they were in IPv4 format; now you can specify hostnames in fully qualified domain name (FQDN) format.


Examples

The following example show you how to set the hostname to sip.example.com:

Router(config)# sip-ua
Router(conf-sip-ua)# permit hostname dns:sip.example.com

phone context

To filter out uniform resource identifiers (URIs) that do not contain a phone-context field that matches the configured pattern, use the phone context command in voice URI class configuration mode. To remove the pattern, use the no form of this command.

phone context phone-context-pattern

no phone context

Syntax Description

phone-context-pattern

Cisco IOS regular expression pattern to match against the phone context field in a SIP or TEL URI. Can be up to 32 characters.

12.3(4)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command with at least one other pattern-matching command, such as host, phone number, or user-id; using it alone does not result in any matches on the voice class.

You cannot use this command if you use the pattern command in the voice class. The pattern command matches on the entire URI, whereas this command matches only a specific field.

Examples

The following example sets a match on the phone context in the URI voice class:

voice class uri 10 tel
 phone number ^408

Modification

12.4(2)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the STC application, which enables certain features on analog FXS endpoints that use Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) for call control.

Use this command to set the feature access code (FAC) for the directed pickup feature. Use this command only if you want to change the code from its default (6).


Note This command is not supported for Cisco CallManager.


To use the directed pickup feature on a phone, dial the FAC prefix and the FAC that has been configured with this command (or the default if this command has not been used). Then dial the number that is ringing. For example, if the prefix is ** (the default), the feature access code is 6 (the default), and the ringing extension is 310, dial **6310 to pick up the call.

The directed pickup feature can also be used to retrieve the last call that was parked at a call-park slot by this extension. To retrieve the last parked call, dial the following sequence: FAC prefix, directed pickup FAC, and asterisk (*). The default is **6*.

If you set the directed pickup FAC code to a value that is already in use for another code, you receive a warning message. If you configure a duplicate code, the system implements the first matching feature in the order of precedence shown in the output of the show stcapp feature codes command.

The show running-config command displays nondefault FACs only. The show stcapp feature codes command displays all feature access codes.

Examples

The following example sets a feature access code prefix of two pound signs (##) and a directed pickup code of 3. After these values are configured, a phone user presses ##3 and the ringing extension number to pick up the incoming call.

Router(config)# stcapp feature access-code
Router(stcapp-fac)# prefix ##
Router(stcapp-fac)# call forward all 2
Router(stcapp-fac)# call forward cancel 4
Router(stcapp-fac)# pickup local 6

playout-delay (dial peer)

To tune the playout buffer on digital signal processors (DSPs) to accommodate packet jitter caused by switches in the WAN, use the playout-delay command in dial peer configuration mode. To reset the playout buffer to the default, use the no form of this command.

playout-delay {fax milliseconds | maximum milliseconds | minimum {default | low | high} | nominal milliseconds}

no playout-delay {fax | maximum | minimum | nominal}

Syntax Description

fax milliseconds

Amount of playout delay that the jitter buffer should apply to fax calls, in milliseconds. Range is from 0 to 700. Default is 300.

maximum milliseconds

(Adaptive mode only) Upper limit of the jitter buffer, or the highest value to which the adaptive delay is set, in milliseconds.

Range is from 40 to 1700, although this value depends on the type of DSP and how the voice card is configured for codec complexity. (See the codec complexity command.) Default is 200.

If the voice card is configured for high codec complexity, the highest value that can be configured for maximum for compressed codecs is 250 ms. For medium-complexity codec configurations, the highest maximum value is 150 ms.

Voice hardware that does not support the voice card complexity configuration (such as analog voice modules for the Cisco 3600 series router) has an upper limit of 250 ms.

minimum

(Adaptive mode only) Lower limit of the jitter buffer, or the lowest value to which the adaptive delay is set, in milliseconds. Values are as follows:

default40 ms. Use when there are normal jitter conditions in the network. This is the default.

low10 ms. Use when there are low jitter conditions in the network.

high40 ms. Use when there are high jitter conditions in the network.

nominal milliseconds

Amount of playout delay applied at the beginning of a call by the jitter buffer in the gateway, in milliseconds. In fixed mode, this is also the maximum size of the jitter buffer throughout the call.

Range is from 0 to 1500, although this value depends on the type of DSP and how the voice card is configured for codec complexity. Default is 200.

For non-conference calls when you are using DSPware version 4.1.33 or a later version, the following values are allowed. If the voice card is configured for high codec complexity, the highest value that can be configured for the nominal keyword for compressed codecs is 250 ms. For medium-complexity codec configurations, the highest nominal value is 150 ms.

For conference calls when you are using DSPware version 4.1.33 or a later version, the first decoder stream can be assigned a nominal value as high as 250 ms (high-complexity codec) or 150 ms (medium-complexity codec). Subsequent decoder streams are limited to the highest nominal value of 150 ms (high-complexity) or 80 ms (medium-complexity).

nominal milliseconds (continued)

Voice hardware that does not support the voice-card complexity configuration (such as analog voice modules for the Cisco 3600 series router) has an upper limit of 250 ms for the first decoder stream and 150 ms for subsequent decoder streams.

Note With DSPware versions earlier than 4.1.33, the highest nominal value that can be configured is 150 ms for high-complexity codec configurations and analog modules. The highest nominal value for medium-complexity codec configurations is 80 ms.

Usage Guidelines

Before Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T, this command was used in voice-port configuration mode. For Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T and later releases, in most cases playout delay should be configured in dial-peer configuration mode on the Voice over IP (VoIP) dial peer that is on the receiving end of the voice traffic that is to be buffered. This dial peer senses network conditions and relays them to the DSPs, which adjust the jitter buffer as necessary. When multiple applications are configured on the gateway, playout delay should be configured in dial-peer configuration mode. When there are numerous dial peers to configure, it might be simpler to configure playout delay on a voice port. If conflicting playout-delay values have been configured on a voice port and on a dial peer, the dial-peer configuration takes precedence.

Playout delay is the amount of time that elapses between the time at which a voice packet is received at the jitter buffer on the DSP and the time at which it is played out to the codec. In most networks with normal jitter conditions, the defaults are adequate and you will not need to configure this command.

In situations in which you want to improve voice quality by reducing jitter or you want to reduce network delay, you can configure playout-delay parameters. The parameters are slightly different for each of the two playout-delay modes, adaptive and fixed (see the playout-delay mode command).

In adaptive mode, the average delay for voice packets varies depending on the amount of interarrival variation that packets have as the call progresses. The jitter buffer grows and shrinks to compensate for jitter and to keep voice packets playing out smoothly, within the maximum and minimum limits that have been configured. The maximum limit establishes the highest value to which the adaptive delay is set. The minimum limit is the low-end threshold for the delay of incoming packets by the adaptive jitter buffer. Algorithms in the DSPs that control the growth and shrinkage of the jitter buffer are weighted toward the improvement of voice quality at the expense of network delay: jitter buffer size increases rapidly in response to spikes in network transmissions and decreases slowly in response to reduced congestion.

In fixed mode, the nominal value is the amount of playout delay applied at the beginning of a call by the jitter buffer in the gateway and is also the maximum size of the jitter buffer throughout the call.

As a general rule, if there is excessive breakup of voice due to jitter with the default playout-delay settings, increase playout delay times. If your network is small and jitter is minimal, decrease playout-delay times for a smaller overall delay.

When there is bursty jitter in the network, voice quality can be degraded even though the jitter buffer is actually adjusting the playout delay correctly. The constant readjustment of playout delay to erratic network conditions causes voice quality problems that are usually alleviated by increasing the minimum playout delay-value in adaptive mode or by increasing the nominal delay for fixed mode.

Use the show call active voice command to display the current delay, as well as high- and low-water marks for delay during a call. Other fields that can help determine the size of a jitter problem are ReceiveDelay, GapFillWith..., LostPackets, EarlyPackets, and LatePackets. The following is sample output from the show call active voice command:

VOIP:
 ConnectionId[0xECDE2E7B 0xF46A003F 0x0 0x47070A4]

Examples

The following example uses default adaptive mode with a minimum playout delay of 10 ms and a maximum playout delay of 60 ms on VoIP dial peer 80. The size of the jitter buffer is adjusted up and down on the basis of the amount of jitter that the DSP finds, but is never smaller than 10 ms and never larger than 60 ms.

Usage Guidelines

If there is excessive breakup of voice due to jitter with the default playout delay settings, increase the delay times. If your network is small and jitter is minimal, decrease the delay times to reduce delay.

Before Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T, the playout-delay command was configured in voice-port configuration mode. For Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T and later releases, in most cases playout delay should be configured in dial-peer configuration mode on the Voice over IP (VoIP) dial peer that is on the receiving end of the voice traffic that is to be buffered.

The maximum limit establishes the highest value to which the adaptive delay will be set. The minimum limit is the low-end threshold for incoming packet delay that is created by the adaptive jitter buffer. Algorithms in the DSPs that control the growth and shrinkage of the jitter buffer are weighted toward the improvement of voice quality at the expense of network delay: jitter buffer size increases rapidly in response to spikes in network transmissions and decreases slowly in response to reduced congestion.

In fixed mode, the nominal value is the amount of playout delay applied at the beginning of a call by the jitter buffer in the gateway and is also the maximum size of the jitter buffer throughout the call.

This command was introduced on the following platforms: Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, Cisco MC3810, and Cisco ICS 7750. The no-timestamps keyword was removed.


Usage Guidelines

Before Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T, this command was used only in voice-port configuration mode. For Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T and later releases, in most cases playout delay should be configured in dial peer configuration mode on the VoIP dial peer that is on the receiving end of the voice traffic that is to be buffered. This dial peer senses network conditions and relays them to the DSPs, which adjust the jitter buffer as necessary. When multiple applications are configured on the gateway, playout delay should be configured in dial peer configuration mode.


Tip When there are numerous dial peers to configure, it might be simpler to configure playout delay on a voice port. If conflicting playout delay values have been configured on a voice port and on a dial peer, the dial peer configuration takes precedence.


In most networks with normal jitter conditions, the default is adequate and you do not need to configure this command.

The default is adaptive mode, in which the average delay for voice packets varies depending on the amount of interarrival variation that packets have as the call progresses. The jitter buffer grows and shrinks to compensate for jitter and to keep voice packets playing out smoothly, within the maximum and minimum limits that have been configured.

Select fixed mode only when you understand your network conditions well, and when you have a network with very poor quality of service (QoS) or when you are interworking with a media server or similar transmission source that tends to create a lot of jitter at the transmission source. In most situations it is better to configure adaptive mode and let the DSP size the jitter buffer according to current conditions.

Examples

The following example sets adaptive playout-delay mode with a high (80 ms) minimum delay on a VoIP dial peer 80:

dial-peer 80 voip
 playout-delay mode adaptive
 playout-delay minimum high

Modification

12.2(2)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to select the type of forwarding method to be used for Euro-ISDN switches. This command does not affect any other switch types.

You can select one or more call-forwarding services at a time, but keep the following Euro-ISDN switch characteristics in mind:

Call forward unconditional (CFU) redirects a call without restriction and takes precedence over other call-forwarding service types.

Call forward busy (CFB) redirects a call to another number if the dialed number is busy.

Call forward no reply (CFNR) forwards a call to another number if the dialed number does not answer within a specified period of time.

If all three call-forwarding services are enabled, CFU overrides CFB and CFNR. The default is that no call-forwarding service is selected.

If you select the functional forwarding method, use the DTMF keypad commands in Table 29 to configure the call-forwarding service.

1 Where number is the telephone number to which your calls are forwarded.


When you enable or disable the call-forwarding service, it is enabled or disabled for four basic services: speech, audio at 3.1 kilohertz (kHz), telephony at 3.1 kHz, and telephony at 7 kHz. You should hear a dial tone after you enter the DTMF keypad command when the call-forwarding service is successfully enabled for at least one of the four basic services. If you hear a busy tone, the command is invalid or the switch does not support that service.

Examples

The following example gives forwarding control to the router:

Modification

12.2(2)T

This command was introduced on the Cisco 803 and Cisco 804.


Usage Guidelines

The pots prefix filter command is used to set a filter for prefix dialing. A maximum of ten filters can be set. Once the maximum number of filters have been configured, an additional filter is not accepted nor does it overwrite any of the existing filters.

To configure a new filter, remove at least one filter using the no pots prefix filter command.

You can set matching criteria for the filter using the * wildcard character. For example, if you configure the filter 1* and a dialed number starts with 1, the called number is not prefixed. Prefix filters can be of variable length. All configured prefix filters are compared to the number dialed, up to the length of the prefix filter. If there is a match, no prefix is added to the dialed number.

Examples

The following example configures five filters that prevent dial prefixes from being added to dialed numbers:

pots prefix filter 192
pots prefix filter 1
pots prefix filter 9
pots prefix filter 0800
pots prefix filter 08456

With these filters configured, a prefix is not added to the following dialed numbers:

192 Directory calls

100 Operator services

999 Emergency services

0800... Toll-free calls

08456...Calls on an Energis network information controller

This command was introduced on the Cisco 803 and Cisco 804.


Usage Guidelines

Only one prefix can be configured using this command. If a prefix already exists, the next prefix configured with this command overwrites the old prefix. Prefixes can be of variable length, up to five digits. The no pots prefix number command removes the prefix.

As numbers are dialed on the keypad, a comparison is made to the configured prefix filter. When a match is determined, the number is dialed without adding the prefix. In the unlikely event that the prefix filter has more digits than the dialed number, and the dialed number matches the first digits of the prefix filter, the prefix is not added to the dialed number. For example, if the prefix filter is 5554000 and you dial 555 and stop, the router considers the called number to be 555 and does not add a prefix to the number. This event is unlikely to occur because the number of digits in dialed numbers is typically greater than the number of digits in prefix filters.

Examples

The following example sets the prefix to 12345:

pots prefix number 12345

This prefix is added to any number dialed for analog or modem calls that do not match the prefix filter.

12.0(4)T

This command was modified to support VoFR dial peers on the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series.


Usage Guidelines

This command applies to POTS, VoIP, VoFR, and VoATM dial peers.

Use this command to indicate the preference order for matching dial peers in a rotary group. Setting the preference enables the desired dial peer to be selected when multiple dial peers within a hunt group are matched for a dial string.


Note If POTS and voice-network peers are mixed in the same hunt group, the POTS dial peers must have priority over the voice-network dial peers.


Use this command with the Rotary Calling Pattern feature described in the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Configuration Guide, Release 12.2 chapter "Configuring H.323 Gateways."

The hunting algorithm precedence is configurable. For example, if you wish a call processing sequence to go to destination A first, to destination B second, and to destination C third, you would assign preference (0 being the highest priority) to the destinations in the following order:

Preference 0 to A

Preference 1 to B

Preference 2 to C

Examples

The following example sets POTS dial peer 10 to a preference of 1, POTS dial peer 20 to a preference of 2, and VoFR dial peer 30 to a preference of 3:

dial-peer voice 10 pots
 destination pattern 5550150
 preference 1
 exit

dial-peer voice 20 pots
 destination pattern 5550150
 preference 2
 exit

dial-peer voice 30 vofr
 destination pattern 5550150
 preference 3
 exit

The following examples show different dial peer configurations:

Dialpeer        destpat         preference              session-target
1               4085550148      0 (highest)             jmmurphy-voip
2               408555          0                       sj-voip
3               408555          1 (lower)               backup-sj-voip
4               ..........      1                       0:D     (interface)
5               ..........      0                       anywhere-voip

If the destination number is 4085550148, the order of attempts is 1, 2, 3, 5, 4:

Dialpeer        destpat         preference
1               408555          0
2               4085550148      1
3               4085550         0
4 ..............4085550.........0

If the number dialed is 4085550148, the order is 2, 3, 4, 1.


Note The default behavior is that the longest matching dial peer supersedes the preference value.

Cisco Unified CME 4.1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command enables a phone to monitor the line status of directory numbers listed in a directory or call list, such as a missed calls, placed calls, or received calls list. Using this command in presence mode enables the BLF call-list feature for all phones. To enable the feature for an individual SCCP phone, use this command in ephone configuration mode. To enable the feature for an individual SIP phone, use this command in voice register pool configuration mode.

If this command is disabled globally and enabled in voice register pool or ephone configuration mode, the feature is enabled for that voice register pool or ephone.

If this command is enabled globally, the feature is enabled for all voice register pools and ephones regardless of whether it is enabled or disabled on a specific voice register pool or ephone.

To display a BLF status indicator, the directory number associated with a telephone number or extension must have presence enabled with the allow watch command.

For information on the BLF status indicators that display on specific types of phones, see the Cisco Unified IP Phone documentation for your phone model.

Examples

The following example shows the BLF call-list feature enabled for ephone 1. The line status of a directory number that appears in a call list or directory is displayed on phone 1 if the directory number has presence enabled.

Usage Guidelines

The pri-group (pri-slt) command provides another way to bind a D channel to a specific IUA AS. This option allows the RLM group to be configured at the pri-group level instead of in the D channel configuration. For example, a typical configuration would look like the following:

 controller t1 1/0/0
  pri-group timeslots 1-24 nfas_d pri nfas_int 0 nfas_group 1 iua asname 

Before you enter the pri-group command, you must specify an ISDN-PRI switch type and an E1 or T1 controller.

When configuring NFAS, you use an extended version of the pri-group command to specify the following values for the associated channelized T1 controllers configured for ISDN:

The range of PRI timeslots to be under the control of the D channel (timeslot 24).

The function to be performed by timeslot 24 (primary D channel, backup, or none); the latter specifies its use as a B channel.

The group identifier number for the interface under the control of a particular D channel.

The iua keyword is used to bind an NFAS group to the IUA AS.

When binding the D channel to an IUA AS, the as-name must match the name of an AS set up during IUA configuration.

Before you can modify a PRI group on a Media Gateway Controller (MGC), you must first shut down the D channel.

The following shows how to shut down the D channel:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)# interface Dchannel3/0:1
Router(config-if)# shutdown 

Examples

The following example configures the NFAS primary D channel on one channelized T1 controller, and binds the D channel to an IUA AS. This example uses the Cisco AS5400 and applies to T1, which has 24 timeslots and is used mainly in North America and Japan:

Router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-23 nfas-d primary nfas-int 0 nfas-group 1 
iua as5400-4-1

The following example applies to E1, which has 32 timeslots and is used by the rest of the world:

Router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-31 nfas-d primary nfas-int 0 nfas-group 1 
iua as5400-4-1

The following example configures ISDN-PRI on all time slots of controller E1:

Router(config)# controller E1 4/1
Router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-7,16

In the following example, the rlm-timeslot keyword automatically creates interface serial 4/7:11 (4/7:0:11 if you are using the CT3 card) for the D channel object on a Cisco AS5350. You can choose any timeslot other than 24 to be the virtual container for the D channel parameters for ISDN.

Router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-23 nfas-d primary nfas-int 0 nfas-group 0 
rlm-timeslot 3

Usage Guidelines

The pri-group command supports the use of DS0 time slots for Signaling System 7 (SS7) links, and therefore the coexistence of SS7 links and PRI voice and data bearer channels on the same T1 or E1 span. In these configurations, the command applies to voice applications.

In SS7-enabled Voice over IP (VoIP) configurations when an RLM group is configured, High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) resources allocated for ISDN signaling on a digital subscriber line (DSL) interface are released and the signaling slot is converted to a bearer channel (B24). The D channel will be running on IP. The chosen D-channel time slot can still be used as a B channel by using the isdn rlm-group interface configuration command to configure the NFAS groups.

NFAS allows a single D channel to control multiple PRI interfaces. Use of a single D channel to control multiple PRI interfaces frees one B channel on each interface to carry other traffic. A backup D channel can also be configured for use when the primary NFAS D channel fails. When a backup D channel is configured, any hard system failure causes a switchover to the backup D channel and currently connected calls remain connected.

NFAS is supported only with a channelized T1 controller and, as a result, must be ISDN PRI capable. Once the channelized T1 controllers are configured for ISDN PRI, only the NFAS primary D channel must be configured; its configuration is distributed to all members of the associated NFAS group. Any configuration changes made to the primary D channel will be propagated to all NFAS group members. The primary D channel interface is the only interface shown after the configuration is written to memory.

The channelized T1 controllers on the router must also be configured for ISDN. The router must connect to either an AT&T 4ESS, Northern Telecom DMS-100 or DMS-250, or National ISDN switch type.

The ISDN switch must be provisioned for NFAS. The primary and backup D channels should be configured on separate T1 controllers. The primary, backup, and B-channel members on the respective controllers should be the same configuration as that configured on the router and ISDN switch. The interface ID assigned to the controllers must match that of the ISDN switch.

You can disable a specified channel or an entire PRI interface, thereby taking it out of service or placing it into one of the other states that is passed in to the switch using the isdn service interface configuration command.

In the event that a controller belonging to an NFAS group is shut down, all active calls on the controller that is shut down will be cleared (regardless of whether the controller is set to primary, backup, or none), and one of the following events will occur:

If the controller that is shut down is configured as the primary and no backup is configured, all active calls on the group are cleared.

If the controller that is shut down is configured as the primary, and the active (In service) D channel is the primary and a backup is configured, then the active D channel changes to the backup controller.

If the controller that is shut down is configured as the primary, and the active D channel is the backup, then the active D channel remains as backup controller.

If the controller that is shut down is configured as the backup, and the active D channel is the backup, then the active D channel changes to the primary controller.

The expected behavior in NFAS when an ISDN D channel (serial interface) is shut down is that ISDN Layer 2 should go down but keep ISDN Layer 1 up, and that the entire interface will go down after the amount of seconds specified for timer T309.


Note The active D channel changeover between primary and backup controllers happens only when one of the link fails and not when the link comes up. The T309 timer is triggered when the changeover takes place.


Examples

The following example configures T1 controller 1/0 for PRI and for the NFAS primary D channel. This primary D channel controls all the B channels in NFAS group 1.

controller t1 1/0
 framing esf
 linecode b8zs
 pri-group timeslots 1-24 nfas_d primary nfas_int 0 nfas_group 1 

The following example specifies ISDN PRI on T1 slot 1, port 0, and configures voice and data bearer capability on time slots 2 through 6:

isdn switch-type primary-4ess
controller t1 1/0
 framing esf
 linecode b8zs
 pri-group timeslots 2-6

The following example configures a standard ISDN PRI interface:

! Standard PRI configuration:
controller t1 1
 pri-group timeslots 1-23 nfas_d primary nfas_int 0 nfas_group 0
 exit

! Standard ISDN serial configuration:
interface serial1:23
! Set ISDN parameters:
 isdn T309 4000
 exit

The following example configures a dedicated T1 link for SS7-enabled VoIP:

controller T1 1
 pri-group timeslots 1-23 nfas_d primary nfas_int 0 nfas_group 0 
 exit

! In a dedicated configuration, we assume the 24th timeslot will be used by ISDN.
! Serial interface 0:23 is created for configuring ISDN parameters.
interface Serial:24
! The D channel is on the RLM.
 isdn rlm 0
 isdn  T309 4000
 exit

The following example configures a shared T1 link for SS7-enabled VoIP. The rlm-group 0 portion of the pri-group timeslots command releases the ISDN PRI signaling channel.

controller T1 1
 pri-group timeslots 1-3 nfas_d primary nfas_int 0 nfas_group 0 rlm-group 0

12.2(11)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T.


Usage Guidelines

This command overrides the default progress indicator that is sent by the switch. This enables you to set the progress indicator at the H.323 gateway, if necessary, to ensure the proper end-to-end signaling for VoIP calls. This command sets the progress indicator only in messages from outbound dial peers that have a set destination pattern, configured by using the destination-pattern command. If a message contains multiple progress indicators, the progress_ind command overrides only the first progress indicator in the message.

The disable and no forms of the progress_ind command have the same result: The call messages are not intercepted by the session application, and the default progress indicator, if any, is forwarded unmodified.


Note A progress indicator that is configured by using the progress_ind command does not override the default progress indicator in a Progress message, if the Progress message is sent after backward cut-through has occurred (for example, because an Alert message with a progress indicator of 8 was sent before the Progress message).


Examples

The following example sets the progress indicator to 1 in progress and connect messages from POTS dial peer 3:

dial-peer voice 3 pots
 destination-pattern 55275
 progress_ind progress enable 1
 progress_ind connect enable 1
