Channelized E1 and Channelized T1 Setup Commands

Channelized E1 and Channelized T1 Setup Commands

This chapter describes commands needed to configure channelized E1 and channelized T1 for the following:

In Cisco IOS Release 11.3, all commands supported on the Cisco 7500 series are also supported on the Cisco 7000 series.

autodetect encapsulation

To enable automatic detection of the encapsulation types in operation over a point-to-point link to a specified serial or ISDN interface, use the autodetect encapsulation interface configuration command. To disable automatic, dynamic detection of the encapsulation types in operation on a link, use the no form of this command.

autodetect encapsulation encapsulation-type
no autodetect encapsulation
Syntax Description
encapsulation-type One or both of the encapsulation keywords v120 and ppp.
Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Release 11.2.

At least one encapsulation type is required in the command, but you can specify additional encapsulation types.

Use this command to enable the specified 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 dynamically.

This command 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 five packets exchanged over the link, whichever is first.

cas-group (controller e1)

To configure an E1 controller on a Cisco AS5200 with channel associated signaling (also known as robbed bit signaling), use the cas-group controller configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable channel associated signaling for one or more timeslots.

cas-group channel timeslots range type signal
no cas-group channel timeslots range type signal
Syntax Description
channel Single channel group number, in the range 0 to 30.
timeslots range One or more ranges of timeslot values, in the range 1 to 31. You can specify timeslot ranges (for example, 1-31), individual timeslots separated by commas (for example 1, 3, 5), or a combination of the two (for example 1-3, 8, 17-31). The 16th timeslot is not specified in the command line, because it is reserved for transmitting the channel signaling.
type signal Specifies the type of channel associated signaling. Choose one of the following signal types to configure:

· e&m-fgb--Specifies ear and mouth channel signaling with feature group b support.

· e&m-fgd--Specifies ear and mouth channel signaling with feature group d support.

· fxs-loopstart-- Specifies foreign exchange system loopstart signaling support.

· fxs-groundstart--Specifies foreign exchange system ground start signaling support.

· sas-loopstart--Specifies specific access station loopstart signaling support.

· sas-groundstart--Specifies specific access station ground start signaling support.

Default

No channel associated signaling is configured on the controller.

Command Mode

Controller configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

Use this command to configure support for incoming and outgoing call signals (such as on-hook and off-hook) on each E1 controller.

If you specify the timeslot range 1-31 at the router prompt, the system software automatically uses the 16th timeslot to transmit the channel associated signaling.

Example

The following example configures timeslots 1-30 with ear and mouth channel signaling with feature group b support on a Cisco AS5200. Because the signaling is transmitted through the 16th timeslot, this timeslot is not brought up or displayed in the output.

no isdn answer2 [called-party-number][:subaddress]
Syntax Description
called-party-number (Optional) Telephone number of the called party. At least one value--called-party-number or subaddress--must be specified.
:subaddress (Optional) Subaddress number, 20 or fewer characters long, used for ISDN multipoint connections. At least one value--called-party-number or subaddress--must be specified.

Use the colon (:) when you configure both the called party number and the subaddress, or when you configure only the subaddress.

Default

The router does not verify the called-party or subaddress number.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

If you do not specify the isdn answer1 or isdn answer2 command, all calls are processed and/or accepted. If you specify the isdn answer1 or isdn answer2 command, the router must verify the incoming called-party number and the subaddress before processing and/or accepting the call. The verification proceeds from right to left for the called-party number; it also proceeds from right to left for the subaddress number.

You can configure just the called-party number or just the subaddress. In such a case, only that part is verified. To configure a subaddress only, include the colon (:) before the subaddress number.

You can declare a digit a "don't care" digit by entering it as an x or X. In such a case, any incoming digit is allowed.

Examples

In the following partial configuration example, 5552222 is the called-party number and 1234 is the subaddress:

interface serial 4/1:0
 isdn answer1 5552222:1234

In the following partial configuration example, only the subaddress is configured:

interface serial 4/1:0
 isdn answer1 :1234

isdn caller

To configure ISDN caller ID screening, use the isdn caller interface configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

isdn caller number
no isdn caller
number
Syntax Description
number Telephone number for which to screen. Specify an x or X to represent a single "don't-care" character. The maximum length of each number is 25 characters.
Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Release 11.2 F.

This command configures the router to accept calls from the specified number.

Caller ID screening is available on Cisco 7200 and 7500 series, Cisco 4000 series, Cisco 3000 series, and Cisco 2500 series routers that have one or more BRIs.

The maximum length of each number is 25 characters. You can specify up to 64 numbers per interface.


Note Caller ID screening requires a local switch that is capable of delivering the caller ID to the router. If you enable caller ID screening but do not have such a switch, no calls are allowed in.
Examples

The following example configures the router to accept a call with a delivered caller ID equal to 4155551234:

isdn caller 4155551234

The following example configures the router to accept a call with a delivered caller ID having 41555512 and any numbers in the last two positions:

isdn caller 41555512xx

isdn calling-number

To configure an ISDN PRI serial interface to present a billing number of the device making the outgoing call, use the isdn calling-number interface configuration command. To remove a previously configured calling number, use the no form of this command.

isdn calling-number calling-number
no isdn calling number
Syntax Description
calling-number Number of the device making the outgoing call; only one entry is allowed and it is limited to 16 digits.
Default

No calling number is presented.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

An interface can have only one ISDN calling-number entry.

This command is intended for use when the network offers better pricing on calls in which devices present the calling number (that is, the billing number). The calling number information is included in the outgoing Setup message.


Note This command can be used with all ISDN PRI switches.
Example

In the following example, the T1 controller is configured and then the D channel interface is configured to present the billing number 4233570925 when it makes outgoing calls:

controller t1 1/1
 framing esf 
 linecode b8zs

isdn fast-rollover-delay

To specify the time delay between successive attempts to dial out to a number, use the isdn fast-rollover-delay interface configuration command.

isdn fast-rollover-delay seconds
Syntax Description
seconds Number of seconds to delay before dialing the next dialer map after receiving an ISDN message indicating the current call will not succeed.
Default

This command is disabled by default. If enabled, the default value of the timer is 0 seconds.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared at Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

This command provides a timer separate from the dialer wait-for-carrier timer to control the amount of time that elapses before calls are redialed. This delay is provided to allow the old call to be torn down completely before the new call is attempted.

When using PPP callback, this command specifies the time delay before the callback is done. This command is necessary on some ISDN switches because the new call may be attempted before the old call is completely torn down. This causes the call back to fail.

Use this command when all the following conditions are true:

If this has occurred, set isdn fast-rollover-delay to 5 seconds and try again.

A delay of 5 seconds should cover most cases. Configure sufficient delay to make sure the ISDN RELEASE_COMPLETE message has been sent or received before making the fast rollover call. Use the debug isdn q931 command to display this information.

Example

The following partial example sets the fast-rollover delay that is suggested when all the conditions specified above are true.

isdn fast-rollover-delay 5

isdn incoming-voice data

To answer incoming voice calls at a configured rate (overriding the incoming data rate in the call), use the isdn incoming-voice data interface configuration command.

isdn incoming-voice data [56 | 64]
Syntax Description
56 Answers all voice calls at 56 kbps.
64 Answers all voice calls at 64 kbps.
Default

None

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

When used without a keyword, this command checks the bearer capacity.

If this command is used, the dialing side must dial at 56 kbps.

Ordinarily, a data device ignores incoming voice calls, but the tariff structure for data and voice calls might make it less expensive to do "data over voice" calls.

Example

The following partial example for channelized T1 configures the D channel (hence, all B channels) to answer all incoming voice calls at 56 kbps:

interface serial 0:23
 isdn incoming-voice data 56

isdn not-end-to-end

For incoming calls, to override the speed that the network reports it will use to deliver the call data, use the isdn not-end-to-end interface configuration command.

isdn not-end-to-end {56 | 64}
Syntax Description
56 Answers all voice calls at 56 kbps.
64 Answers all voice calls at 64 kbps.
Default

The default line speed is 64 kbps.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command might be needed to handle incoming calls properly. Although a call might originate at a speed of 56 kbps, the network or internetworking networks might improperly deliver the call to the user at a speed of 64 kbps. This creates a speed mismatch and causes the data to be garbled. Enabling this command makes the router look more closely at the information elements of the incoming call to determine a speed.

A speed mismatch can occur when the source and destination ISDN ports do not belong to the same network.

Example

In the following example, the line speed for incoming calls is set to 56 kbps:

isdn not-end-to-end 56

isdn sending-complete

To specify that the Sending Complete information element (IE) is included in the outgoing SETUP message, use the isdn sending-complete interface configuration command.

isdn sending-complete
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments and keywords.

Default

This command is disabled by default.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Some switches in some countries want a Sending Complete information element to be included in the outgoing SETUP message to indicate that the entire number is included. The Sending Complete IE is needed for Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the isdn sending-complete command forces it to be sent.

Example
interface serial 0:15

linecode

Use the linecode controller configuration command to select the line-code type for the T1 or E1 line.

linecode {ami | b8zs | hdb3}
Syntax Description
ami Specifies alternate mark inversion (AMI) as the line-code type. Valid for T1 or E1 controllers; the default for T1 lines.
b8zs Specifies B8ZS as the line-code type. Valid for T1 controller only.
hdb3 Specifies high-density bipolar 3 (hdb3) as the line-code type. Valid for E1 controller only; the default for E1 lines.
Defaults

AMI is the default for T1 lines.

High-density bipolar 3 is the default for E1 lines.

Command Mode

Controller configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command in configurations where the router or access server must communicate with T1 fractional data lines. The T1 service provider determines which line-code type, either ami or b8zs, is required for your T1 circuit. Likewise, the E1 service provider determines which line-code type, either ami or hdb3, is required for your E1 circuit.

Example

The following example specifies B8ZS as the line-code type:

Default

This command is disabled.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

This command applies only when the remote CSU/DSU device supports the function. It is used for testing the data communication channels. The loopback usually is performed at the line port, rather than the DTE port, of the remote CSU/DSU.

For a multiport interface processor (MIP) connected to a network via a channelized T1 link, the loopback remote interface configuration command applies if the remote interface is served by a DDS line (56 kbps or 64 kbps) and the device at the remote end is a CSU/DSU. In addition, the CSU/DSU at the remote end must react to latched DDS CSU loopback codes. Destinations that are served by other types of lines or that have CSU/DSUs that do not react to latched DDS CSU codes cannot participate in an interface remote loopback. Latched DDS CSU loopback code requirements are described in AT&T specification TR-TSY-000476, "OTGR Network Maintenance Access and Testing."

To show interfaces currently in loopback operation, use the show interfaces loopback EXEC command.

Bursty Err Secs A second with fewer than 320 and more than 1 Path Coding Violation error, no Severely Errored Frame defects and no detected incoming AIS defects. Controlled slips are not included in this parameter.
Severely Err Secs For ESF signals, a second with one of the following errors: 320 or more Path Code Violation errors; one or more Out of Frame defects; a detected AIS defect.

For E1-CRC signals, a second with one of the following errors: 832 or more Path Code Violation errors; one or more Out of Frame defects.

For E1-noCRC signals, a second with 2048 Line Code Violations or more.

For D4 signals, a count of 1-second intervals with Framing Errors, or an Out of Frame defect, or 1544 Line Code Violations.

Unavail Secs A count of the total number of seconds on the interface.

Table 41 describes the fields in the show isdn active and show isdn history output displays.


Table  41: Show ISDN Active and Show ISDN History Field Descriptions
Field Description
History Table MaxLength Maximum number of entries that can be retained in the Call History table.
History Retain Timer Maximum number of seconds any entry can be retained in Call History table.
Call Type Type of call: incoming or outgoing.
Calling Number For incoming calls, the number from which the call was received.
Called Number For outgoing calls, the number to which the call was placed.
Duration Seconds Number of seconds the call lasted. Indicates whether the call is still active, and how many seconds it has lasted so far.
Remote Name Name of the host placing the call or the host called.
Time until Disconnect Number of seconds before the call is configured to disconnect because of the static idle timer for the map class or the interface.
Recorded Charges Units/Currency For outgoing calls, number of ISDN AOC charging units used or the currency cost of the call.

The following sample display shows the output of the show isdn service command when PRI is configured on a T1 controller:

Router# show isdn service
PRI Channel Statistics:
ISDN Se1/0:23, Channel (1-31)
  Activated dsl 0 
  State (0=Idle 1=Propose 2=Busy 3=Reserved 4=Restart 5=Maint)
  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

Table 42 describes the fields in the sample output of the show isdn service command.


Table  42: Show ISDN Service Field Descriptions
Field Description
ISDN Se1/0:23 ISDN PRI interface corresponding to serial interface 1/0:23.
Channel (1-31) Channel range "1-31" is a standard format for both T1 and E1 outputs, but the state value shown identifies whether the channel is used.
Activated dsl 0 The digital signal link (DSL) value is 0.
State (0=Idle 1=Propose 2=Busy 3=Reserved 4=Restart 5=Maint) Current state of each channel. Channels 24 through 31 are marked as reserved when the output is from T1.
Channel (1-31) Service (0=Inservice 1=Maint 2=Outofservice) Service state assigned to each channel. Channel 24 is marked as out of service.1

1 If channel 24 (marked as out of service) is configured as the NFAS primary D channel, NFAS will roll over to the backup D channel if one is configured. If channel 24 is a B channel, calls will not be accepted to it.
