Signaling Overview
Channelized T1 and channelized E1 can be configured for ISDN PRI, synchronous serial, and asynchronous serial communications.
Channelized T1 and channelized E1 are supported by corresponding controllers. Each T1 or E1 controller has one physical network termination, but it can have many virtual interfaces, depending on the configuration.
In-Band and Out-of-Band Signaling
The terms in-band and out-of-band indicate whether various signals—which are used to set up, control, and terminate calls—travel in the same channel (or band) with voice calls or data made by the user, or whether those signals travel in a separate channel (or band).
ISDN, which uses the D channel for signaling and the B channels for user data, fits into the out-of-band signaling category.
Robbed-bit signaling, which uses bits from specified frames in the user data channel for signaling, fits into the in-band signaling category.
Channel-associated signaling (CAS), which uses E1 time slot 16 (the D channel) for signaling, fits into the out-of-band signaling category.
Channelized E1 and T1 on Cisco Devices
You can allocate the available channels for channelized E1 or T1 in the following ways:
•
All channels can be configured to support ISDN PRI. Channelized T1 ISDN PRI offers 23 B channels and 1 D channel. Channelized E1 ISDN PRI offers 30 B channels and 1 D channel. Channel 24 is the D channel for T1, and channel 16 is the D channel for E1.
•
If you are not running ISDN PRI, all channels can be configured to support robbed-bit signaling, which enables a Cisco modem to receive and send analog calls.
•
All channels can be configured in a single channel group. For configuration information about this leased line or nondial use, see the "Configuring Serial Interfaces" chapter in the Cisco IOS Interface Configuration Guide.
•
Mix and match channels supporting ISDN PRI and channel grouping.
•
Mix and match channels supporting ISDN PRI, robbed-bit signaling, and channel grouping across the same T1 line. For example, on the same channelized T1 line you can configure the pri-group timeslots 1-10 command, channel-group 11 timeslots 11-16 command, and cas-group 17 timeslots 17-23 type e&m-fgb command. This is a rare configuration because it requires you to align the correct range of time slots on both ends of the connection.
See the sections "PRI Groups and Channel Groups on the Same Channelized T1 Controller Example," "Robbed-Bit Signaling Examples," and the "ISDN CAS Examples" at the end of this chapter.
How to Configure ISDN PRI
This section describes tasks that are required to get ISDN PRI up and running. This section does not address routing issues, dialer configuration, and dial backup. For information about those topics, see the chapters in the "Dial-on-Demand Routing" part of this manual.
To configure ISDN PRI, perform the tasks in the following sections:
•
Requesting PRI Line and Switch Configuration from a Telco Service Provider (Required)
•
Configuring Channelized E1 ISDN PRI (As required)
•
Configuring Channelized T1 ISDN PRI (As required)
•
Configuring the Serial Interface (Required)
•
Configuring NSF Call-by-Call Support (Primary-4ESS Only)
•
Configuring Multiple ISDN Switch Types (Optional)
•
Configuring B Channel Outgoing Call Order (Optional)
•
Performing Configuration Self-Tests (Optional)
See the section "Monitoring and Maintaining ISDN PRI Interfaces" later in this chapter for tips on maintaining the ISDN PRI interface. See the end of this chapter for the "ISDN PRI Examples" section.
Note
After the ISDN PRI interface and lines are operational, configure the D-channel interface for dial-on-demand routing (DDR). The DDR configuration specifies the packets that can trigger outgoing calls, specifies whether to place or receive calls, and provides the protocol, address, and phone number to use.
Requesting PRI Line and Switch Configuration from a Telco Service Provider
Before configuring ISDN PRI on your Cisco router, you need to order a correctly provisioned ISDN PRI line from your telecommunications service provider.
This process varies dramatically from provider to provider on a national and international basis. However, some general guidelines follow:
•
Verify if the outgoing B channel calls are made in ascending or descending order. Cisco IOS default is descending order however, if the switch from the service providers is configured for outgoing calls made in ascending order, the router can be configured to match the switch configuration of the service provider.
•
Ask for delivery of calling line identification. Providers sometimes call this CLI or automatic number identification (ANI).
•
If the router will be attached to an ISDN bus (to which other ISDN devices might be attached), ask for point-to-multipoint service (subaddressing is required) and a voice-and-data line.

Configuring Channelized T1 ISDN PRI
To configure ISDN PRI on a channelized T1 controller, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# isdn switch-type switch-type
|
Selects a service provider switch type that accommodates PRI. (Refer to Table 2 for a list of supported PRI switch type keywords.)
|
Step 2
|
Router(config)# controller t1 slot/port
or
Router(config)# controller t1 number

|
Defines the line code as binary 8 zero substitution (B8ZS).
|
Step 5
|
Router(config-controller)# pri-group [timeslots
range]2
|
Configures ISDN PRI.
If you do not specify the time slots, the controller is configured for 23 B channels and 1 D channel.
|
If you do not specify the time slots, the specified controller is configured for 24 B channels and 1 D channel. The B channel numbers range from 1 to 24; channel 24 is the D channel for T1. Corresponding serial interfaces numbers range from 0 to 23. In commands, the D channel is interface serial controller-number:23. For example, interface serial 0:23.
Configuring the Serial Interface
When you configure ISDN PRI on the channelized E1 or channelized T1 controller, in effect you create a serial interface that corresponds to the PRI group time slots. This interface is a logical entity associated with the specific controller. After you create the serial interface by configuring the controller, you must configure the D channel serial interface. The configuration applies to all the PRI B channels (time slots).
To configure the D channel serial interface, perform the tasks in the following sections:
•
Specifying an IP Address for the Interface (Required)
•
Configuring Encapsulation on ISDN PRI (Required)
•
Configuring Network Addressing (Required)
•
Configuring ISDN Calling Number Identification (As Required)
•
Overriding the Default TEI Value (As Required)
•
Configuring a Static TEI (As Required)
•
Configuring Incoming ISDN Modem Calls (As Required)
•
Filtering Incoming ISDN Calls (As Required)
•
Configuring the ISDN Guard Timer (Optional)
•
Configuring Inclusion of the Sending Complete Information Element (Optional)
•
Configuring ISDN PRI B-Channel Busyout (Optional)
Specifying an IP Address for the Interface
To configure the D channel serial interface created for ISDN PRI, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# interface serial slot/port:23
Router(config)# interface serial number:23
or
Router(config)# interface serial slot/port:15
Router(config)# interface serial number:15
|
Specifies D channel on the serial interface for channelized T1 and begins interface configuration mode.
Specifies D channel on the serial interface for channelized E1 and begins interface configuration mode.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-if)# ip address ip-address
|
Specifies an IP address for the interface.
|
When you configure the D channel, its configuration is applied to all the individual B channels.
Configuring Encapsulation on ISDN PRI
PPP encapsulation is configured for most ISDN communication. However, the router might require a different encapsulation for traffic sent over a Frame Relay or X.25 network, or the router might need to communicate with devices that require a different encapsulation protocol.
Configure encapsulation as described in one of the following sections:
•
Configuring PPP Encapsulation
•
Configuring Encapsulation for Frame Relay or X.25 Networks
•
Configuring Encapsulation for Combinet Compatibility
In addition, the router can be configured for automatic detection of encapsulation type on incoming calls. To configure this feature, complete the tasks in the "Configuring Automatic Detection of Encapsulation Type of Incoming Calls" section.
Note
See the sections "Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations" and "Configuring Encapsulation on ISDN BRI" in the chapter "Configuring ISDN BRI" for information about the Cisco Dynamic Multiple Encapsulations feature.
Configuring PPP Encapsulation
Each ISDN B channel is treated as a serial line and supports HDLC and PPP encapsulation. The default serial encapsulation is HDLC. To configure PPP encapsulation, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
|
Configures PPP encapsulation.
|
Configuring Encapsulation for Frame Relay or X.25 Networks
If traffic from this ISDN interface crosses a Frame Relay or X.25 network, the appropriate addressing and encapsulation tasks must be completed as required for Frame Relay or X.25 networks.
See the sections "Sending Traffic over Frame Relay, X.25, or LAPB Networks" in the chapter "Configuring Legacy DDR Spokes" for more information about addressing, encapsulation, and other tasks necessary to configure Frame Relay or X.25 networks.
Configuring Encapsulation for Combinet Compatibility
Historically, Combinet devices supported only the Combinet Proprietary Protocol (CPP) for negotiating connections over ISDN B channels. To enable Cisco routers to communicate with those Combinet bridges, the Cisco IOS software supports the CPP encapsulation type.
To enable routers to communicate over ISDN interfaces with Combinet bridges that support only CPP, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config-if)# encapsulation cpp
|
Specifies CPP encapsulation.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-if)# cpp callback accept
|
Enables CPP callback acceptance.
|
Step 3
|
Router(config-if)# cpp authentication
|
Enables CPP authentication.
|
Most Combinet devices support PPP. Cisco routers can communicate over ISDN with these devices by using PPP encapsulation, which supports both routing and fast switching.
Cisco 700 and 800 series routers and bridges (formerly Combinet devices) support only IP, IPX, and bridging. For AppleTalk, Cisco routers automatically perform half-bridging with Combinet devices. For more information about half-bridging, see the section "Configuring PPP Half-Bridging" in the "Configuring Media-Independent PPP and Multilink PPP" chapter in this publication.
Cisco routers can also half-bridge IP and IPX with Combinet devices that support only CPP. To configure this feature, you only need to set up the addressing with the ISDN interface as part of the remote subnet; no additional commands are required.
Configuring Automatic Detection of Encapsulation Type of Incoming Calls
You can enable a serial or ISDN interface to accept calls and dynamically change the encapsulation in effect on the interface when the remote device does not signal the call type. For example, if an ISDN call does not identify the call type in the Lower Layer Compatibility fields and is using an encapsulation that is different from the one configured on the interface, the interface can change its encapsulation type at that time.
This feature enables interoperation with ISDN terminal adapters that use V.120 encapsulation but do not signal V.120 in the call setup message. An ISDN interface that by default answers a call as synchronous serial with PPP encapsulation can change its encapsulation and answer such calls.
Automatic detection is attempted for the first 10 seconds after the link is established or the first 5 packets exchanged over the link, whichever is first.
To enable automatic detection of encapsulation type, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# autodetect encapsulation
encapsulation-type
|
Enables automatic detection of encapsulation type on the specified interface.
|
You can specify one or more encapsulations to detect. Cisco IOS software currently supports automatic detection of PPP and V.120 encapsulations.
Configuring Network Addressing
When you configure networking, you specify how to reach the remote recipient. To configure network addressing, use the following commands in interface configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config-if)# dialer map protocol
next-hop-address name hostname speed 56|64
dial-string[:isdn-subaddress]
or
|
Defines the protocol address of the remote recipient, host name, and dialing string; optionally, provides the ISDN subaddress; sets the dialer speed to 56 or 64 kbps, as needed.
|
|
Router(config-if)# dialer map protocol
next-hop-address name hostname spc [speed 56 |
64] [broadcast] dial-string[:isdn-subaddress]
|
(Australia) Uses the spc keyword that enables ISDN semipermanent connections.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-if)# dialer-group group-number
|
Assigns the interface to a dialer group to control access to the interface.
|
Step 3
|
Router(config-if)# dialer-list dialer-group
list access-list-number
|
Associates the dialer group number with an access list number.
|
Step 4
|
Router(config-if)# access-list
access-list-number {deny | permit} protocol
source address source-mask destination
destination-mask
|
Defines an access list permitting or denying access to specified protocols, sources, or destinations.
|
Australian networks allow semipermanent connections between customer routers with PRIs and the TS-014 ISDN PRI switches in the exchange. Semipermanent connections are offered at better pricing than leased lines.
Packets that are permitted by the access list specified by the dialer-list command are considered interesting and cause the router to place a call to the identified destination protocol address.
Note
The access list reference in Step 4 of this task list 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. See the relevant chapter in the appropriate network protocol configuration guide (for example, the Cisco IOS AppleTalk and Novell IPX Configuration Guide) for more information about setting up access lists for a protocol.
For more information about defining outgoing call numbers, see the sections "Configuring Access Control for Outgoing Calls" in the chapters "Configuring Legacy DDR Spokes" or "Configuring Legacy DDR Hubs" later in this publication.
Configuring ISDN Calling Number Identification
A router might need to supply the ISDN network with a billing number for outgoing calls. Some networks offer better pricing on calls in which the number is presented. When configured, the calling number information is included in the outgoing Setup message.
To configure the interface to identify the billing number, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# isdn calling-number
calling-number
|
Specifies the calling party number.
|
This command can be used with all ISDN PRI switch types.
Overriding the Default TEI Value
You can configure ISDN terminal endpoint identifier (TEI) negotiation on individual ISDN interfaces. 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 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. On PRI interfaces connecting to DMS 100 switches, the router will change the default TEI setting to isdn tei first-call. To apply TEI negotiation to a specific PRI interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# isdn tei [first-call | powerup]
|
Determines when ISDN TEI negotiation occurs.
|
Configuring a Static TEI
Depending on the telephone company you subscribe to, you may have a dynamically or statically assigned terminal endpoint identifier (TEI) for your ISDN service. By default, TEIs are dynamic in Cisco routers. To configure the TEI as a static configuration, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# isdn static-tei tei-number
|
Configures a static ISDN Layer 2 TEI over the D channel.
|
Configuring Incoming ISDN Modem Calls
All incoming ISDN analog modem calls that come in on an ISDN PRI receive signaling information from the ISDN D channel. The D channel is used for circuit-switched data calls and analog modem calls.
To enable all incoming ISDN voice calls to access the call switch module and integrated modems, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# isdn incoming-voice {modem [56 |
64]}
|
Routes incoming ISDN modem calls to the call switch module.
|
The settings for the isdn incoming-voice interface command determine how a call is handled based on bearer capability information, as follows:
•
isdn incoming-voice voice—Calls bypass the modem and are handled as a voice call.
•
isdn incoming-voice data—Calls bypass the modem and are handled as digital data.
•
isdn incoming-voice modem—Calls are passed to the modem and the call negotiates the appropriate connection with the far-end modem.
Refer to the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Command Reference, Release 12.2, for more information about using the isdn incoming-voice interface configuration command to configure incoming ISDN voice and data calls.
Filtering Incoming ISDN Calls
You may find it necessary to configure your network to reject an incoming call with some specific ISDN bearer capability such as nonspeech or nonaudio data. To filter out unwanted call types, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# isdn reject {{cause cause-code}
|{data [56 | 64]} | piafs | v110 | v120 | vod |
voice {[3.1khz | 7khz | speech]}}
|
Rejects an incoming ISDN BRI or PRI call based on type.
|
Note
When the ISDN interface is configured for incoming voice with the isdn incoming-voice voice command (see the previous section "Configuring Incoming ISDN Modem Calls"), and bearer capability indicates the call as unrestricted digital data (i = 0x8890), the call is handled as voice over data (use vod keyword).
Verifying the Call Reject Configuration
To verify that calls are being rejected, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Enable the following debug commands at the privileged EXEC prompt:
•
debug isdn event
•
debug isdn event detail
•
debug isdn q931
•
debug isdn q931 l3trace
Step 2
Configure the appropriate isdn reject command. The following example configures the network to reject all incoming data calls on ISDN interfaces 4 through 23:
Router(config)# interface serial 4:23
Router(config-if)# isdn reject data
Step 3
Build the configuration and then monitor the debug command output for the following string, which indicates that the call was rejected:
ISDN <TYPE:NUMBER>: Rejecting call id <CALLID> isdn calltype screening failed
Step 4
Enter the show isdn status EXEC command to display a detailed report of the ISDN configuration, including status of Layers 1 through 3, the call type, and the call identifier.
Step 5
Turn off the debugging messages by entering the no form of the debug command—no debug isdn event detail, for example— or by entering the undebug form of the command—undebug isdn q931, for example.
Configuring the ISDN Guard Timer
Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 12.2, the ISDN guard timer feature implements a new managed timer for ISDN calls. Because response times for authentication requests can vary, for instance when using DNIS authentication, the guard timer allows you to control the handling of calls.
To configure the ISDN guard timer, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# isdn guard-timer msecs
|
Enables the guard timer and sets the number of milliseconds for which the access server waits for RADIUS to respond before rejecting or accepting (optional) a call.
|
For more information about configuring RADIUS, and to see sample ISDN PRI guard timer configurations, refer to the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide.
Configuring Inclusion of the Sending Complete Information Element
In some geographic locations, such as Hong Kong and Taiwan, ISDN switches require that the Sending Complete information element be included in the outgoing Setup message to indicate that the entire number is included. This information element is generally not required in other locations.
To configure the interface to include the Sending Complete information element in the outgoing call Setup message, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# isdn sending-complete
|
Includes the Sending Complete information element in the outgoing call Setup message.
|
Configuring ISDN PRI B-Channel Busyout
To allow the busyout of individual ISDN PRI B channels, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# interface serial
controller:timeslot
|
Enters interface configuration mode for a D-channel serial interface.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-if)# isdn snmp busyout b-channel
|
Allows the busyout of individual PRI B channels via SNMP.
|
Configuring NSF Call-by-Call Support
Network-Specific Facilities (NSF) are used to request a particular service from the network or to provide an indication of the service being provided. Call-by-call support means that a B channel can be used for any service; its use is not restricted to a certain preconfigured service, such as incoming 800 calls or an outgoing 800 calls. This specific NSF call-by-call service supports outgoing calls configured as voice calls.
This NSF call-by-call support feature is vendor-specific; only routers connected to AT&T Primary-4ESS switches need to configure this feature. This feature is supported on channelized T1.
To enable the router for NSF call-by-call support and, optionally, to place outgoing voice calls, complete the following steps:
Step 1
Configure the controller for ISDN PRI.
Step 2
Configure the D channel interface to place outgoing calls using the dialer map command with a dialing-plan keyword. You can enter a dialer map command for each dialing plan to be supported.
Step 3
Define the dialer map class for that dialing plan.
To define the dialer map class for the dialing plan, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|

Configuring Multiple ISDN Switch Types
You can apply an ISDN switch type on a per-interface basis, thus extending the existing global isdn switch-type command to the interface level. This allows PRI and BRI to run simultaneously on platforms that support both interface types.
A global ISDN switch type is required and must be configured on the router before you can configure a switch type on an interface.
To configure multiple ISDN switch types for a PRI interface using a channelized E1 or channelized T1 controller, use the following command in global configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config)# isdn switch-type switch-type
|
Applies a global ISDN switch type.
|
You must ensure that the ISDN switch type is valid for the ISDN interfaces on the router. Table 2 lists valid ISDN switch types for BRI and PRI interfaces.
Note
When you configure an ISDN switch type on the channelized E1 or T1 controller, this switch type is applied to all time slots on that controller. For example, if you configure channelized T1 controller 1:23, which corresponds to serial interface 1, with the ISDN switch type keyword primary-net5, then all time slots on serial interface 1 (and T1 controller 1) will use the Primary-Net5 switch type.
The following restrictions apply to the Multiple ISDN Switch Types feature:
•
You must configure a global ISDN switch type using the existing isdn switch-type global configuration command before you can configure the ISDN switch type on an interface. Because global commands are processed before interface level commands, the command parser will not accept the isdn switch-type command on an interface unless a switch type is first added globally. Using the isdn switch-type global command allows for backward compatibility.
•
If an ISDN switch type is configured globally, but not at the interface level, then the global switch type value is applied to all ISDN interfaces.
•
If an ISDN switch type is configured globally and on an interface, the interface level switch type supersedes the global switch type at initial configuration. For example, if the global BRI switch-type keyword basic-net3 is defined and the interface-level BRI switch-type keyword is basic-ni, the National ISDN switch type is the value applied to that BRI interface.
•
The ISDN global switch type value is only propagated to the interface level on initial configuration or router reload. If you reconfigure the global ISDN switch type, the new value is not applied to subsequent interfaces. Therefore, if you require a new switch type for a specific interface, you must configure that interface with the desired ISDN switch type.
•
If an ISDN global switch type is not compatible with the interface type you are using or you change the global switch type and it is not propagated to the interface level, as a safety mechanism, the router will apply a default value to the interface level, as indicated in Table 4.

If, for example, you reconfigure the router to use global switch type keyword basic-net3, the router will apply the primary-net5 ISDN switch type to PRI interfaces and the basic-net3 ISDN switch type to any BRI interfaces. You can override the default switch assignment by configuring a different ISDN switch type on the associated interface.
Configuring B Channel Outgoing Call Order
You can configure the router to select the first available B channel in ascending order (channel B1) or descending order (channel B23 for a T1 and channel B30 for an E1). To configure the optional task of selecting B channel order for outgoing calls for PRI interface types, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# isdn bchan-number-order
{ascending | descending}
|
Enables B channel selection for outgoing calls on a PRI interface (optional).
|
Before configuring the ISDN PRI on your router, check with your service vendor to determine if the ISDN trunk call selection is configured for ascending or descending order. If there is a mismatch between the router and switch with regard to channel availability, the switch will send back an error message stating the channel is not available. By default, the router will select outgoing calls in descending order.
Performing Configuration Self-Tests
To test the ISDN configuration, use the following EXEC commands as needed. Refer to the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference for information about the debug commands.
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router> show controllers t1 slot/port
|

How to Configure Robbed-Bit Signaling for Analog Calls over T1 Lines
Some Cisco access servers support robbed-bit signaling for receiving and sending analog calls on T1 lines. Robbed-bit signaling emulates older analog trunk and line in-band signaling methods that are sent in many networks.
In countries that support T1 framing (such as the United States and Canada), many networks send supervisory and signaling information to each other by removing the 8th bit of each time slot of the 6th and 12th frame for superframe (SF) framing. For networks supporting extended superframe (ESF) framing, the 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th frames are affected. This additional signaling information is added to support channel banks in the network that convert various battery and ground operations on analog lines into signaling bits.
Robbed-bit signaling configured on a Cisco access server enables integrated modems to answer and send analog calls. Robbed bits are forwarded over digital lines. To support analog signaling over T1 lines, robbed-bit signaling must be enabled.
Note
The signal type configured on the access server must match the signal type offered by your telco provider. Ask your telco provider which signal type to configure on each T1 controller.
The Cisco access server has two controllers: controller T1 1 and controller T1 0, which must be configured individually.
To configure robbed-bit signaling support for calls made and received, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# controller t1 0
|
Enables the T1 0 controller and begins controller configuration mode.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-controller)# cablelength long
dbgain-value dbloss-value
|
If the channelized T1 line connects to a smart jack instead of a CSU, sets pulse equalization (use parameter values specified by your telco service provider).
|
Step 3
|
Router(config-controller)# framing esf
|
Sets the framing to match that of your telco service provider, which in most cases is esf.
|
Step 4
|
Router(config-controller)# linecode b8zs
|
Sets the line-code type to match that of your telco service provider, which in most cases is b8zs.
|
Step 5
|
Router(config-controller)# clock source line
primary
|
Configures one T1 line to serve as the primary or most stable clock source line.
|
Step 6
|
Router(config-controller)# cas-group
channel-number timeslots range type signal
|
Configures channels to accept voice calls.
This step creates interfaces that you can configure.
|
Step 7
|
Router(config-controller)# fdl {att | ansi}
|
Sets the facilities data-link exchange standard for the CSU, as specified by your telco service provider.
|
If you want to configure robbed-bit signaling on the other T1 controller, repeat Steps 1 through 7, making sure in Step 5 to select T1 controller line 1 as the secondary clock source.
If you want to configure ISDN on the other controller, see the section "How to Configure ISDN PRI" in this chapter. If you want to configure channel groupings on the other controller, see the chapter "Configuring Synchronous Serial Ports" in this publication; specify the channel groupings when you specify the interface.
See the section "Robbed-Bit Signaling Examples" at the end of this chapter for configuration examples.
How to Configure CAS
The following sections describe how to configure channel-associated signaling in Cisco networking devices for both channelized E1 and T1 lines:
•
CAS on Channelized E1
•
CAS on T1 Voice Channels
CAS on Channelized E1
Cisco access servers and access routers support CAS for channelized E1 lines, which are commonly deployed in networks in Latin America, Asia, and Europe. CAS is configured to support channel banks in the network that convert various battery and ground operations on analog lines into signaling bits, which are forwarded over digital lines.
CAS is call signaling that is configured on an E1 controller and enables the access server to send or receive analog calls. The signaling uses the16th channel (time slot); thus, CAS fits in the out-of-band signaling category.
Once CAS is configured on a single E1 controller, remote users can simultaneously dial in to the Cisco device through networks running the R2 protocol (see specifications for your particular network device for the number of dialins supported).
The R2 protocol is an international signaling standard for analog connections. Because R2 signaling is not supported in the Cisco access servers, an E1-to-E1 converter is required.
Figure 1 illustrates that, because the Cisco access servers have more than one physical E1 port on the dual E1 PRI board, up to 60 simultaneous connections can be made through one dual E1 PRI board.
Figure 1 Remote PC Accessing Network Resources Through the Cisco AS5000 Series Access Server
Note
For information on how to configure an Anadigicom E1-to-E1 converter, see to the documentation that came with the converter.
Note
The dual E1 PRI card must be installed in the Cisco access server before you can configure CAS. To identify the hardware platform or software image information associated with a feature, use the Feature Navigator on Cisco.com to search for information.
Configuring CAS for Analog Calls over E1 Lines

|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# controller e1 number
|
Defines the controller location in the Cisco access server by unit number (choices for the number argument are 1 or 2) and begins controller configuration mode.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-controller)# cas-group channel-number
timeslots range type signal
|
Configures CAS and the R2 signaling protocol on a specified number of time slots.

|
Specifies one E1 line to serve as the primary or most stable clock source line.
|
If you do not specify the time slots, CAS is configured on all 30 B channels and one D channel on the specified controller.
See the section "ISDN CAS Examples" for configuration examples.
Configuring CAS on a Cisco Router Connected to a PBX or PSTN
To define E1 channels for the CAS method by which the router connects to a PBX or PSTN, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# controller e1 slot/port
|
Specifies the E1 controller that you want to configure with R2 signaling and begins controller configuration.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-controller)# ds0-group ds0-group-no
timeslots timeslot-list type {e&m-immediate |
e&m-delay | e&m-wink | fxs-ground-start |
fxs-loop-start |fxo-ground-start | fxo-loop-start}
|
Configures channel-associated signaling and the signaling protocol on a specified number of time slots.
|
Step 3
|

|
Step 5
|
Router(config-controller)# clock source line primary1

|
If you do not specify the time slots, channel-associated signaling is configured on all 30 B channels and one D channel on the specified controller.
CAS on T1 Voice Channels
Various types of CAS signaling are available in the T1 world. The most common forms of CAS signaling are loop-start, ground-start, and recEive and transMit (E&M). The biggest disadvantage of CAS signaling is its use of user bandwidth to perform signaling functions. CAS signaling is often referred to as robbed-bit-signaling because user bandwidth is being "robbed" by the network for other purposes. In addition to receiving and placing calls, CAS signaling also processes the receipt of DNIS and ANI information, which is used to support authentication and other functions.
This configuration allows the Cisco access servers to provide the automatic number identification/dialed number identification service (ANI/DNIS) delimiter on incoming T1/CAS trunk lines. The digit collection logic in the call switching module (CSM) for incoming T1 CAS calls in dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) is modified to process the delimiters, the ANI digits, and the DNIS digits.
As part of the configuration, a CAS signaling class with the template to process ANI/DNIS delimiters has to be defined. This creates a signaling class structure which can be referred to by its name.
This feature is only functional in a T1 CAS configured for E&M-feature group b (wink start). E&M signaling is typically used for trunks. It is normally the only way that a central office (CO) switch can provide two-way dialing with direct inward dialing. In all the E&M protocols, off-hook is indicated by A=B=1, and on-hook is indicated by A=B=0. If dial pulse dialing is used, the A and B bits are pulsed to indicate the addressing digits.
For this feature, here is an example of configuring for E&M-feature group b:
ds0-group 1 timeslots 1-24 type e&m-fgb dtmf dnis
In the original Wink Start protocol, the terminating side responds to an off-hook from the originating side with a short wink (transition from on-hook to off-hook and back again). This wink tells the originating side that the terminating side is ready to receive addressing digits. After receiving addressing digits, the terminating side then goes off-hook for the duration of the call. The originating endpoint maintains off-hook for the duration of the call.
Configuring ANI/DNIS Delimiters for CAS Calls on CT1
To configure the signaling class and ANI/DNIS delimiters, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# signaling-class cas name
|
Names the signaling class and begins interface configuration mode.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-if)# profile incoming template
|
Defines the template to process the ANI/DNIS delimiter.
|
Step 3
|
|
Return to global configuration mode.
|
Step 4
|
Router(config)# controller t1 slot/port/number
|
Enables this feature for a T1 controller and begins controller configuration mode.
|
Step 5
|
Router(config-controller)# cas-custom channel
|
Specifies a single channel group number.
|
Step 6
|
Router(config-ctrl-cas)# class name
|
Enables the ANI/DNIS delimiter feature by specifying the template.
|
To disable the delimiter, use the command no class under the cas-custom configuration.
To remove the signaling class, use the configuration command no signaling-class cas. When removing a signaling class, make sure the signaling class is no longer used by any controllers; otherwise, the following warning will be displayed:
% Can't delete, signaling class test is being used
How to Configure Switched 56K Digital Dial-In over Channelized T1 and Robbed-Bit Signaling
Internet service providers (ISPs) can provide switched 56-kbps access to their customers using a Cisco AS5000 series access server. Switched 56K digital dial-in enables many services for ISPs. When using traditional ISDN PRI, the access server uses the bearer capability to determine the type of service. However when providing switched 56K over a CT1 RBS connection, the digital signal level 0 (DS0s) in the access server can be configured to provide either modem or 56-kbps data service. The dial-in user can access a 56-kbps data connection using either an ISDN BRI connection or a 2- or 4-wire switched 56-kbps connection. The telco to which the access server connects must configure its switches to route 56-kbps data calls and voice (modem) calls to the appropriate DS0.
Likewise, an enterprise can provide switched 56-kbps digital dial-in services to its full time telecommuters or small remote offices using ISDN PRI or a CT1 RBS connection.
Switched 56K digital dial-in offers the following benefits:
•
Enables ISDN BRI clients to connect to a Cisco access server over switched 56K and T1 CAS.
•
Provides switched 56K dial-in services over T1 CAS to remote clients that do not have access to ISDN BRI, for example, a remote PC making digital calls over a 2- or 4-wire switched 56-kbps connection and a CSU.
The following prerequisites apply to the Switched 56K Digital Dial-In feature:
•
The remote device could be an ISDN BRI end point such as a terminal adapter or BRI router. In this scenario, the CSU/DSU is irrelevant. For 2- or 4-wire switched 56K remote clients, the remote endpoint must be compatible with the service of the carrier. Different carriers may implement different versions of switched 56K end points.
•
A CSU/DSU must be present at the remote client side of the connection. Otherwise, switched 56K connections are not possible. The Cisco access servers have built-in CSU/DSUs.
•
The telco must configure its side of the T1 connection to deliver 56-kbps data calls to the correct range of DS0s. If you do not want to dedicate all the DS0s or time slots on a single T1 to switched 56K services, be sure to negotiate with the telco about which DS0s will support switched 56K and which DS0s will not.
•
Cisco IOS Release 11.3(2)T or later must be running on the access server.
The following restrictions apply to Switched 56K digital dial-in:
•
A Cisco access server only supports incoming switched 56K calls. Dialing out with switched 56K is not supported at this time.
•
Switched 56K over E1 is not supported. Only switched 56K over T1 is supported.
•
Analog modem calls are not supported over DS0s that are provisioned for switched 56K. For a configuration example, see the section "Switched 56K and Analog Modem Calls over Separate T1 CAS Lines Example" later in this chapter.
•
Certain types of T1 lines, such as loop start and ground start, might not support this service. Contact your telco vendor to determine if this feature is available.
Switched 56K Scenarios
The following scenarios are provided to show multiple applications for supporting switched 56K over T1 CAS:
•
Switched 56K and Analog Modem Calls into T1 CAS
•
Basic Call Processing Components
•
ISDN BRI Calls into T1 CAS
Switched 56K and Analog Modem Calls into T1 CAS
Figure 2 shows a sample network scenario using switched 56K. Two remote PCs are dialing in to the same Cisco access server to get access to the Internet. The desktop PC is making switched 56K digital calls through an external CSU/DSU. The laptop PC is making analog modem calls through a 28.8-kbps modem. The Cisco access server dynamically assigns IP addresses to each node and forwards data packets off to the switched 56K channels and onboard modems respectively.
Figure 2 PCs Making Switched 56K and Analog Modem Calls into a Cisco AS5000 Series Access Server
For the startup running configuration on the Cisco access server shown in Figure 2, see the section "Comprehensive Switched 56K Startup Configuration Example" later in this chapter.
Basic Call Processing Components
Figure 3 shows the basic components that process switched 56K calls and analog modem calls on board a Cisco access server. Switched 56K and modem calls are signaling using robbed-bit signaling. Digital switched 56K calls utilize logical serial interfaces just like in ISDN PRI. Modem calls utilize asynchronous interfaces, lines, and modems.
Note
The BRI terminal must originate its calls with a bearer capability of 56 kbps.
Figure 3 Processing Components for Switched 56K Calls Versus Analog Modem Calls
Note
The Cisco IOS software does enable you to configure one T1 controller to support both switched 56K digital calls and analog modem calls. In this scenario, Figure 3 would show all calls coming into the access server through one T1 line and controller. However, you must negotiate with the telco which DS0s will support switched 56K services and which DS0s will not. On the access server, analog modem calls are not supported over DS0s that are provisioned for switched 56K. For an example software configuration, see the section "Mixture of Switched 56K and Modem Calls over CT1 CAS Example" at the end of this chapter.
ISDN BRI Calls into T1 CAS
Figure 4 shows how switched 56K functionality can be used to forward ISDN BRI network traffic to a Cisco access server that is configured for switched 56K robbed-bit signaling over CT1.
Note
The BRI terminal must originate its calls with a bearer capability of 56 kbps.
Figure 4 Remote PC Making BRI Digital Calls via Switched 56K to a Cisco AS5000 Series Access Server
For a configuration example on the Cisco access server, see the section "Comprehensive Switched 56K Startup Configuration Example" at the end of this chapter.
How to Configure Switched 56K Services
This section describes how to configure switched 56K services on a Cisco access server. After the cas-group command is enabled for switched 56K services, a logical serial interface is automatically created for each 56K channel, which must also be configured.

|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# controllers t1 number
|
Specifies a T1 controller and begins controller configuration mode.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-controller)# framing {sf | esf}
|
Sets the framing.
|
Step 3
|
Router(config-controller)# linecode {ami | b8zs}
|
Defines the line code.
|
Step 4
|
Router(config-controller)# clock source {line
{primary | secondary} | internal}
|
Specifies the clocking.
|
Step 5
|
Router(config-controller)# cas-group channel
timeslots range type signal
|
Configures robbed-bit signaling for a range of time slots. A logical serial interface is automatically created for each switched 56K channel.
|
Step 6
|
Router(config-controller)# exit
|
Exits controller configuration mode.
|
Step 7
|
Router(config)# interface serial number:number
|
Specifies logical serial interface, which was dynamically created when the cas-group command was issued, and configures the core protocol characteristics for the serial interface.
|
For configuration examples, see the section "Switched 56K Configuration Examples" later in this chapter.
How to Configure E1 R2 Signaling
R2 signaling is an international signaling standard that is common to channelized E1 networks. However, there is no single signaling standard for R2. The International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Q.400-Q.490 recommendation defines R2, but a number of countries and geographic regions implement R2 in entirely different ways. Cisco addresses this challenge by supporting many localized implementations of R2 signaling in its Cisco IOS software.
The following sections offer pertinent information about the E1 R2 signaling feature:
•
E1 R2 Signaling Overview
•
Configuring E1 R2 Signaling
•
Configuring E1 R2 Signaling for Voice
•
Monitoring E1 R2 Signaling
•
Verifying E1 R2 Signaling
•
Troubleshooting E1 R2 Signaling
E1 R2 Signaling Overview
R2 signaling is channelized E1 signaling used in Europe, Asia, and South America. It is equivalent to channelized T1 signaling in North America. There are two types of R2 signaling: line signaling and interregister signaling. R2 line signaling includes R2 digital, R2 analog, and R2 pulse. R2 interregister signaling includes R2 compelled, R2 noncompelled, and R2 semicompelled. These signaling types are configured using the cas-group command for Cisco access servers, and the ds0-group command for Cisco routers.
Many countries and regions have their own E1 R2 variant specifications, which supplement the ITU-T Q.400-Q.490 recommendation for R2 signaling. Unique E1 R2 signaling parameters for specific countries and regions are set by entering the cas-custom channel command followed by the country name command.
The Cisco E1 R2 signaling default is ITU, which supports the following countries: Denmark, Finland, Germany, Russia (ITU variant), Hong Kong (ITU variant), and South Africa (ITU variant). The expression "ITU variant" means that there are multiple R2 signaling types in the specified country, but Cisco supports the ITU variant.
Cisco also supports specific local variants of E1 R2 signaling in the following regions, countries, and corporations:
• Argentina
|
• Laos1
|
• Australia
|
• Malaysia
|
• Bolivia1
|
• Malta1
|
• Brazil
|

|
• East Europe2
|

|
• South Africa (Panaftel variant)
|
• Ecuador LME
|
• Telmex corporation (Mexico)
|
• Greece
|
• Telnor corporation (Mexico)
|

|
• Hong Kong (uses the China variant)
|
• Uruguay
|
• Indonesia
|
• Venezuela
|
• Israel
|
• Vietnam
|
• Korea
|
|
Note
Only MICA technologies modems support R2 functionality. Microcom modems do not support R2.
The following are benefits of E1 R2 signaling:
•
R2 custom localization—R2 signaling is supported for a wide range of countries and geographical regions. Cisco is continually supporting new countries.
•
Broader deployment of dial access services—The flexibility of a high-density access server can be deployed in E1 networks.
Cisco's implementation of R2 signaling has DNIS support turned on by default. If you enable the ani option, the collection of DNIS information is still performed. Specifying the ani option does not disable DNIS collection. DNIS is the number being called. ANI is the number of the caller. For example, if you are configuring router A to call router B, then the DNIS number is assigned to router B, the ANI number is assigned to router A. ANI is similar to Caller ID.
Figure 5 shows a sample network topology for using E1 R2 signaling with a Cisco AS5800. All four controllers on the access server are configured with R2 digital signaling. Additionally, localized R2 country settings are enabled on the access server.

Configuration examples are supplied in the "Configuration Examples for Channelized E1 and Channelized T1" section at the end of this chapter.
Configuring E1 R2 Signaling
To configure support for E1 R2 signaling on the Cisco access servers, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# controller e1 slot/port
|
Specifies the E1 controller that you want to configure with R2 signaling and begins controller configuration mode.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-controller)# cas-group channel
timeslots range type signal
Replace the signal argument with any of the following choices under R2 analog, R2 digital, or R2 pulse:
r2-analog [dtmf | r2-compelled [ani] |
r2-non-compelled [ani] | r2-semi-compelled [ani]]
or
r2-digital [dtmf | r2-compelled [ani] |
r2-non-compelled [ani] | r2-semi-compelled [ani]]
or
r2-pulse [dtmf | r2-compelled [ani] |
r2-non-compelled [ani] | r2-semi-compelled [ani]]
|
Configures R2 channel associated signaling on the E1 controller. For a complete description of the available R2 options, see the cas-group command.
The R2 part of this command is defined by the signal argument in the cas-group command.
|
For an E1 R2 configuration example, see the section "E1 R2 Signaling Procedure."
Configuring E1 R2 Signaling for Voice
To configure E1 R2 signaling on systems that will be configured for voice, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
|
Command
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
Router(config)# controller E1 slot/port
|
Specifies the E1 controller that you want to configure with R2 signaling and begins controller configuration mode.
|
Step 2
|
Router(config-controller)# ds0-group channel
timeslots range type signal
Replace the signal argument with any of the following choices under R2 analog, R2 digital, or R2 pulse:
r2-analog [dtmf | r2-compelled [ani] |
r2-non-compelled [ani] | r2-semi-compelled [ani]]
or
r2-digital [dtmf | r2-compelled [ani] |
r2-non-compelled [ani] | r2-semi-compelled [ani]]
or
r2-pulse [dtmf | r2-compelled [ani] |
r2-non-compelled [ani] | r2-semi-compelled [ani]]
|
Configures R2 channel-associated signaling on the E1 controller. For a complete description of the available R2 options, see the ds0-group (controller e1) command reference page.
|
Step 3
|
Router(config-controller)# cas-custom channel
|
Enters cas-custom mode. In this mode, you can localize E1 R2 signaling parameters, such as specific R2 country settings for Hong Kong.
For the customization to take effect, the channel number used in the cas-custom command must match the channel number specified by the ds0-group command.
|
Step 4
|
Router(config-ctrl-cas)# country name use-defaults
|
Specifies the local country, region, or corporation specification to use with R2 signaling. Replaces the name variable with one of the supported country names.
Cisco strongly recommends that you include the use-defaults option, which engages the default settings for a specific country. The default setting for all countries is ITU.
See the cas-custom command reference page for the list of supported countries, regions, and corporation specifications.
|
Step 5
|
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# ani-digits
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# answer-signal
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# caller-digits
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# category
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# default
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# dnis-digits
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# invert-abcd
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# ka
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# kd
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# metering
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# nc-congestion
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# unused-abcd
• Router(config-ctrl-cas)# request-category
|
(Optional) Further customizes the R2 signaling parameters. Some switch types require you to fine tune your R2 settings. Do not tamper with these commands unless you fully understand your switch's requirements.
For nearly all network scenarios, the country name use-defaults command fully configures your country's local settings. You should not need to perform Step 5.
See the cas-custom command reference page for more information about each signaling command.

Troubleshooting E1 R2 Signaling
If a connection does not come up, check for the following:
•
Loose wires, splices, connectors, shorts, bridge taps, and grounds
•
Backward send and receive
•
Mismatched framing types (for example, CRC-4 versus no CRC-4)
•
Send and receive pair separation (crosstalk)
•
Faulty line cards or repeaters
•
Noisy lines (for example, power and crosstalk)
If you see errors on the line or the line is going up and down, check the following:
•
Mismatched line codes (HDB3 versus AMI)
•
Receive level
•
Frame slips due to poor clocking plan
If problems persist, enable the modem management Call Switching Module (CSM) debug mode, using the debug modem csm command, as shown immediately below in the "Debug E1 R1 Signaling Using the debug modem Command" section.

Enabling R1 Modified Signaling in Taiwan
Enabling R1 modified signaling allows a Cisco universal access server to communicate with central office trunks that also use R1 modified signaling. R1 modified signaling is an international signaling standard that is common to channelized T1/E1 networks. Cisco IOS Release 12.1 supports R1 modified signaling customized for Taiwan only. You can configure a channelized T1/E1 interface to support different types of R1 modified signaling, which is used in older analog telephone networks.
This feature allows enterprises and service providers to fully interoperate with the installed Taiwanese telecommunications standards, providing interoperability in addition to the vast array of Cisco IOS troubleshooting and diagnostic capability. This feature will provide customers with a seamless, single-box solution for their Taiwan signaling requirements.
Note
This type of signaling is not the same as ITU R1 signaling; it is R1 signaling modified for Taiwan specifically. In the future, R1 modified signaling will be supported by the Cisco AS5800 access server, and will also be available in Turkey.
The following restrictions are for the use of R1 modified signaling:
•
Because different line signaling uses different A/B/C/D bit definitions to represent the line state, you must understand the configuration of the T1/E1 trunk before configuring the CAS group. If the wrong type of provision is configured, the access server might interpret the wrong A/B/C/D bit definitions and behave erratically.
•
Cisco access servers (Cisco AS5300, and Cisco AS5800) with Microcom modems cannot support this feature.
•
You must know the configuration of the T1/E1 trunk before configuring the cas-group. If there is a trunk provisioning mismatch, performance problems may occur.
R1 Modified Signaling Topology
Figure 7 illustrates a service provider using R1 signaling with E1 and a Cisco AS5200 access server. The network topology would be the same for T1 or a Cisco AS5300 access server.

Troubleshooting Channelized E1 and T1 Channel Groups
Each channelized T1 or channelized E1 channel group is treated as a separate serial interface. To troubleshoot channel groups, first verify configurations and check everything that is normally checked for serial interfaces. You can verify that the time slots and speed are correct for the channel group by checking for CRC errors and aborts on the incoming line.
Note
None of the Cisco channelized interfaces will react to any loop codes. To loop a channelized interface requires that the configuration command be entered manually.
Two loopbacks are available for channel groups and are described in the following sections:
•
Interface Local Loopback
•
Interface Remote Loopback
Interface Local Loopback
Interface local loopback is a bidirectional loopback, which will loopback toward the router and toward the line. The entire set of time slots for the channel group is looped back. The service provider can use a BERT test set to test the link from the central office to your local router, or the remote router can test using pings to its local interface (which will go from the remote site, looped back at your local site, and return to the interface on the remote site).
To place the serial interface (channel group) into local loopback, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# loopback local
|
Places the serial interface (channel group) in local loopback.
|
Interface Remote Loopback
Remote loopback is the ability to put the remote DDS CSU/DSU in loopback. It will work only with channel groups that have a single DS0 (1 time slot), and with equipment that works with a latched CSU loopback as specified in AT&T specification TR-TSY-000476, "OTGR Network Maintenance Access and Testing." To place the serial interface (channel group) in remote loopback, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router(config-if)# loopback remote interface
|
Places the serial interface (channel group) in remote loopback.
|
Using the loopback remote interface command sends a latched CSU loopback command to the remote CSU/DSU. The router must detect the response code, at which time the remote loopback is verified.

PRI Groups and Channel Groups on the Same Channelized T1 Controller Example
The following example shows a channelized T1 controller configured for PRI groups and for channel groups. The pri-group command and the channel-group command cannot have overlapping time slots; note the correct time slot configuration in this example.
channel-group 0 timeslot 1-6
channel-group 1 timeslot 7
channel-group 2 timeslot 8
channel-group 3 timeslot 9-11
The same type of configuration also applies to channelized E1.
Robbed-Bit Signaling Examples
This section provides sample configurations for the T1 controllers on the Cisco access server. You can configure the 24 channels of a channelized T1 to support ISDN PRI, robbed-bit signaling, channel grouping, or a combination of all three. The following samples are provided:
•
Allocating All Channels for Robbed-Bit Signaling Example
•
Mixing and Matching Channels—Robbed-Bit Signaling and Channel Grouping
Allocating All Channels for Robbed-Bit Signaling Example
The following example configures all 24 channels to support robbed-bit signaling feature group B on a Cisco access server:
cas-group 1 timeslots 1-24 type e&m-fgb
Mixing and Matching Channels—Robbed-Bit Signaling and Channel Grouping
The following example shows you how to configure all 24 channels to support a combination of ISDN PRI, robbed-bit signaling, and channel grouping. The range of time slots that you allocate must match the time slot allocations that your central office chooses to use. This is a rare configuration due to the complexity of aligning the correct range of time slots on both ends of the connection.
The following configuration creates serial interfaces 0 to 9, which correspond to ISDN PRI time slots 1 to 10 (shown as serial 1:0 through serial 1:9). The serial line 1:23 is the D channel, which carries the analog signal bits that dial the phone number of the modem and determine if a modem is busy or available. The D channel is automatically created and assigned to time slot 24.
! ISDN PRI is configured on time slots 1 through 10.
! Channelized T1 data is transmitted over time slots 11 through 16.
channel-group 11 timeslots 11-16
! The channel-associated signal ear and mouth feature group B is configured on
! virtual signal group 17 for time slots 17 to 23, which are used for incoming
! and outgoing analog calls.
cas-group 17 timeslots 17-23 type e&m-fgb
There is no specific interface, such as the serial interface shown in the earlier examples, that corresponds to the time-slot range.

Switched 56K T1 Controller Procedure
The following procedure shows how to configure one T1 controller on a Cisco access server to support switched 56K digital calls. The Cisco access server has four controllers, which are numbered 0 to 3. If you want all four T1 controllers to support switched 56K calls, then repeat this procedure on each controller.
Step 1
Enter global configuration mode using the configure terminal command:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 2
Specify a T1 controller with the controller t1 number command. Replace the number variable with a controller number from 0 to 3.
Router(config)# controller t1 1
Step 3
Configure robbed-bit signaling on a range of time slots, then specify switched 56K digital services using the cas-group command. In this example, all calls coming into controller T1 1 are expected to be switched 56K data calls, not analog modem calls.
Router(config-controller)# cas-group 1 timeslots 1-24 type e&m-fgb service data
Note
Be sure your signaling type matches the signaling type specified by the central office or telco on the other end. For a list of supported signaling types and how to collect DNIS, refer to the cas-group command description for the E1 controller card in the Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Command Reference.
Step 4
Set the framing for your network environment. You can choose ESF (enter framing esf) or SF (enter framing sf).
Router(config-controller)# framing esf
Step 5
Set the line-code type for your network environment. You can choose AMI encoding (enter linecode ami) or B8ZS encoding (enter linecode b8zs).
Router(config-controller)# linecode b8zs
Mixture of Switched 56K and Modem Calls over CT1 CAS Example
The following example configures one T1 controller to accept incoming switched 56K digital calls and analog modem calls over the same T1 CAS line. Time slots 1 through 10 are provisioned by the telco to support switched 56K digital calls. Time slots 11 through 24 are provisioned to support analog modem calls. Due to the DS0s provisioning, it is impossible for analog modems calls to be sent over the DS0s that map to time slots 1 through 10.

Switched 56K and Analog Modem Calls over Separate T1 CAS Lines Example
The following example configures one Cisco access server to accept 50 percent switched 56K digital calls and 50 percent analog modem calls. The controllers T1 0 and T1 1 are configured to support the switched 56K digital calls using the cas-group 1 timeslots 1-24 type e&m-fgb service digital command. Controllers T1 2 and T1 3 are configured to support analog modem calls.

Comprehensive Switched 56K Startup Configuration Example
The startup configuration in this section runs on the Cisco access server, as shown in Figure 2. This configuration is for an IP dial-in scenario with a mix of switched 56K calls and modem calls. Switched 56K digital calls come into controllers T1 0 and T1 1. Analog modem calls come into controllers T1 2 and T1 3.
In this example, the switched 56K clients are single endpoints in a remote node configuration. If each switched 56K client were instead a router with a LAN behind it without port address translation (PAT) turned on, then a static address, subnet mask, and route must be configured for each remote endpoint. This configuration would best done through RADIUS.
After a T1 time slot is configured with robbed-bit signaling using the cas-group command with the service data option, a logical serial interface is instantly created for each switched 56K channel. For example, signaling configured on all 24 time slots of controller T1 1 dynamically creates serial interfaces S0:0 through S0:23. You must then configure protocol support on each serial interface. No interface group command exists for serial interfaces, unlike asynchronous interfaces via the interface group-async command. Each serial interface must be individually configured. In most cases, the serial configurations will be identical. To streamline or shorten this configuration task, you might consider using a dialer interface, as shown in the following example.
Note
In the following example, only analog modem calls encounter the group asynchronous and line interfaces. Switched 56K calls encounter the logical serial interfaces and dialer interface.

Mixing and Matching Channels—CAS and Channel Grouping Example
The following interactive example shows you how to configure an E1 controller to support a combination of CAS and channel grouping. The range of time slots that you allocate must match the time slot allocations that your central office chooses to use. This configuration is rare because of the complexity of aligning the correct range of time slots on both ends of the connection.
Time slots 1 through 15 are assigned to channel group 1. In turn, these time slots are assigned to serial interface 0 and virtual channel group 1 (shown as serial 0:1).

E1 R2 Signaling Procedure
The following procedure configures R2 signaling and customizes R2 parameters on controller E1 2 of a Cisco AS5300 access server. In most cases, the same R2 signaling type is configured on each E1 controller.
Step 1
Enter global configuration mode using the configure terminal command:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 2
Specify the E1 controller that you want to configure with R2 signaling using the controller e1 number global configuration command. A controller informs the access server how to distribute or provision individual time slots for a connected channelized E1 line. You must configure one E1 controller for each E1 line.
Router(config)# controller e1 2
Step 3
Configure CAS with the cas-group channel timeslots range type signal command. The signaling type forwarded by the connecting telco switch must match the signaling configured on the Cisco AS5300 access server. The Cisco IOS configuration options are r2-analog, r2-digital, or r2-pulse.
