signal

To specify the type of signaling for a voice port, use the signal command in voice-port configuration mode. To reset to the default, use the no form of this command.

Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) and Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) Voice Ports

signal { groundstart | loopstart [live-feed] }

no signal { groundstart | loopstart }

Ear and mouth (EandM) Voice Ports

signal { delay-dial | immediate | lmr | wink-start }

no signal { delay-dial | immediate | lmr | wink-start }

Centralized Automatic Message Accounting (CAMA) Ports

signal { cama { kp-0-nxx-xxxx-st | kp-0-npa-nxx-xxxx-st | kp-2-st | kp-npd-nxx-xxxx-st | kp-0-npa-nxx-xxxx-st-kp-yyy-yyy-yyyy-st } | groundstart | loopstart }

no signal { cama { kp-0-nxx-xxxx-st | kp-0-npa-nxx-xxxx-st | kp-2-st | kp-npd-nxx-xxxx-st | kp-0-npa-nxx-xxxx-st-kp-yyy-yyy-yyyy-st } | groundstart | loopstart }

Syntax Description

groundstart

Specifies the use of groundstart signaling. Used for FXO and FXS interfaces. Groundstart signaling allows both sides of a connection to place a call and to hang up.

Note

The CAMA version of this keyword is groundstart. Both forms operate identically.

loopstart

Specifies the use of loop start signaling. Used for FXO and FXS interfaces. With loopstart signaling, only one side of a connection can hang up. This is the default setting for FXO and FXS voice ports.

Note

The CAMA version of this keyword is loopstart. Both forms operate identically.

live-feed

(Optional) Enables an MOH audio stream from a live feed to be directly connected to the router through an FXO port.

delay-dial

The calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead. After a timing interval, the calling side looks at the supervision from the called side. If the supervision is on-hook, the calling side starts sending information as dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) digits; otherwise, the calling side waits until the called side goes on-hook and then starts sending address information. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces.

immediate

The calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead and sends address information as DTMF digits. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces.

lmr

Specifies the use of Land Mobile Radio signaling.

wink-start

The calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead then waits for a short off-hook "wink" indication on its M-lead from the called side before sending address information as DTMF digits. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces. This is the default setting for E&M voice ports.

cama

Selects and configures the port for 911 calls.

kp-0-npa-nxx-xxxx-st

10-digit transmission. The E.164 number is fully transmitted.

kp-0-npa-nxx-xxxx-st-kp-yyy-yyy-yyyy-st

Supports CAMA Signaling with ANI/Pseudo ANI (PANI).

kp-0-nxx-xxxx-st

7-digit automatic number identification (ANI) transmission. The Numbering Plan Area (NPA) or area code is implied by the trunk group and is not transmitted.

kp-2-st

Default transmission when the CAMA trunk cannot get a corresponding Numbering Plan Digit (NPD) digit in the lookup table, or when the calling number is fewer than ten digits in length. (NPA digits are not available.)

kp-npd-nxx-xxxx-st

8-digit ANI transmission, where the NPD is a single multifrequency (MF) digit that is expanded into the NPA. The NPD table is preprogrammed in the sending and receiving equipment (on each end of the MF trunk); for example: 0 = 415, 1 = 510, 2 = 650, 3 = 916

05550100 = (415) 555-0100, 15550100 = (510) 555-0100, and so on. NPD range is from 0 to 3.

Command Default

FXO and FXS interfaces: loopstart E&M interfaces: wink-start CAMA interfaces: loopstart

Command Modes

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to analog voice ports only. A voice port must be shut down and then activated before the configured values take effect.

For an E&M voice port, this command changes only the signal value for the selected voice port.

For an FXO or FXS voice port, this command changes the signal value for both voice ports on a voice port module (VPM). If you change the signal type for an FXO voice port on Cisco 3600 series routers, you need to move the appropriate jumper in the voice interface card of the voice network module. For more information about the physical characteristics of the voice network module, see the installation documentation that came with your voice network module.

Some PBXs miss initial digits if the E&M voice port is configured for immediate start signaling. Immediate start signaling should be used for dial pulse outpulsing only and only on circuits for which the far end is configured to accept digits within a few milliseconds of seizure. Delay dial signaling, which is intended for use on trunks and not lines, relies on the far end to return an off-hook indication on its M-lead as soon as the circuit is seized. When a receiver is attached, the far end removes the off-hook indication to indicate that it is ready to receive digits. Delay dial must be configured on both ends to work properly. Some non-Cisco devices have a limited number of DTMF receivers. This type of equipment must delay the calling side until a DTMF receiver is available.

To specify which VIC-2CAMA ports are designated as dedicated CAMA ports for emergency 911 calls, use the signal cama command. No two service areas in the existing North American telephony infrastructure supporting E911 calls have identical service implementations, and many of the factors that drive the design of emergency call handling are matters of local policy and therefore outside the scope of this document. Local policy determines which ANI format is appropriate for the specified Physical Service Access Point (PSAP) location.

The following four types of ANI transmittal schemes are based on the actual number of digits transmitted toward the E911 tandem. In each instance, the actual calling number is proceeded with a key pulse (KP) followed by an information (I) field or a NPD, which is then followed by the ANI calling number, and finally is followed by a start pulse (ST), STP, ST2P, or ST3P, depending on the trunk group type in the PSTN and the traffic mix carried.

The information field is one or two digits, depending on how the circuit was ordered originally. For one-digit information fields, a value of 0 indicates that the calling number is available. A value of 1 indicates that the calling number is not available. A value of 2 indicates an ANI failure. For a complete list of values for two-digit information fields, see SR-2275: Telcordia Notes on the Networks at www.telcordia.com .

7-digit transmission (kp 0 nxx xxxx st):

The calling phone number is transmitted, and the NPA is implied by the trunk group and not transmitted.

8-digit transmission (KP npd nxx xxxx st) :

The I field consists of single-digit NPD-to-NPA mapping. When the calling party number of 415-555-0122 places a 911 call, and the Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3600 series has an NPD (0)-to-NPA (415) mapping, the NPA signaling format is received by the selective router at the central office (CO).

Note

NPD values greater than 3 are reserved for signifying error conditions.

10-digit transmission (kp 0 npa nxx xxxx st)

The E.164 number is fully transmitted.

20-digit transmission (kp-0-npa-nxx-xxxx-st-kp-yyy-yyy-yyyy-st):

Twenty digits support (two 10 digit numbers) on FGD-OS in the following format, KP+II+10 digit ANI+ST+KP+7/10 digit PANI+ ST

kp-2-st transmission (kp-2-st):

kp-2-st transmission is used if the PBX is unable to out-pulse the ANI. If the ANI received by the Cisco router is not as per configured values, kp-2-st is transmitted. For example, if the voice port is configured for out-pulsing a ten-digit ANI and the 911 call it receives has a seven-digit calling party number, the router transmits kp-2-st.

Note

Emergency 911 calls are not rejected for an ANI mismatch. The call establishes a voice path. The E911 network, however, does not receive the ANI.

Examples

The following example configures groundstart signaling on the Cisco 3600 series as the signaling type for a voice port, which means that both sides of a connection can place a call and hang up:

voice-port 1/1/1
 signal groundstart

The following example configures a ten-digit ANI transmission:

Router(config)# 
voice-port 1/0/0
Router(config-voiceport)# signal cama kp-0-npa-nxx-xxxx-st

The following example configures 20-digit CAMA Signaling with ANI/Pseudo ANI:

Router(config-voiceport)# signal cama KP-0-NPA-NXX-XXXX-ST-KP-YYY-YYY-YYYY-ST

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the keepalive signaling interval, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. The voice class must then be assigned to a dial peer using the voice-class permanent (dial-peer) command.

To avoid sending keepalive signals to a multicasting network with no specified destination, we recommend that you use the disabledkeyword when configuring this command for use in networks that use connection trunk connections and multicasting.

Examples

The following example shows the keepalive signaling interval set to 3 seconds for voice class 10:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

12.1(3)T	This command was implemented on the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series.

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the signaling pattern, you must use the voice-class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. After you define the voice class, you assign it to a dial peer.

Idle Patterns

An idle state is generated if the router detects an idle signaling pattern coming from either direction. If an idle pattern is configured for only one direction (transmit or receive), an idle state can be detected only in the configured direction. Therefore, you should normally enter both the idle receive and the idle transmit keywords.

To suppress voice packets whenever the transmit or receive trunk is in the idle state, use the idle receive and idle transmit keywords in conjunction with the signal timing idle suppress-voice command.

OOS Patterns

An OOS state is generated differently in each direction under the following conditions:

If the router detects an oos transmit signaling pattern sent from the PBX, the router transmits the oos transmit signaling pattern to the network.
If the signal timing oos timeout timer expires and the router receives no signaling packets from the network (network is OOS), the router sends an oos receive signaling pattern to the PBX. (The oos receive pattern is not matched against the signaling packets received from the network; the receive packets indicate an OOS condition directly by setting the AIS alarm indication bit in the packet.)

To suppress voice packets whenever the transmit or receive trunk is in the OOS state, use the oos receive and oos transmitkeywords in conjunction with the signal timing oos suppress-voice command.

To suppress voice and signaling packets whenever the transmit or receive trunk is in the OOS state, use the oos receive and oos transmit keywords in conjunction with the signal timing oos suppress-all command.

PBX Busyout

To "busy out" a PBX if the network connection fails, set the oos receive pattern to match the seized state (busy), and set the signal timing oos timeout value. When the timeout value expires and no signaling packets are received, the router sends the oos receive pattern to the PBX.

Use the busy seized pattern only if the PBX does not have a specified pattern for indicating an OOS state. If the PBX has a specific OOS pattern, use that pattern instead.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, configures the signaling bit pattern for the idle receive and transmit states:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 signal pattern idle receive 0101
 signal pattern idle transmit 0101
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, configures the signaling bit pattern for the out-of-service receive and transmit states:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 signal pattern oos receive 0001
 signal pattern oos transmit 0001
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

The following example restores default signaling bit patterns for the receive and transmit idle states:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 signal timing idle suppress-voice
 no signal pattern idle receive
 no signal pattern idle transmit
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

The following example configures nondefault signaling bit patterns for the receive and transmit out-of-service states:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 signal pattern oos receive 0001
 signal pattern oos transmit 0001
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

Command History

Release	Modification
12.0(3)XG	This command was introduced on the Cisco MC3810 platform.
12.0(4)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)T.
12.0(7)XK	This command was modified to simplify the configuration process.
12.1(2)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T.
12.1(3)T	This command was implemented on the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series.
12.4(15)T10	This command was modified to add the resume-voice milliseconds option.

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the signal timing idle suppress-voice timer, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. The voice class must then be assigned to a dial peer.

The signal timing idle suppress-voicecommand is used when the signal-type command is set to transparent in the dial peer for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk connection. The router stops sending voice packets when the timer expires. Signaling packets are still sent.

To detect an idle trunk state, the router or concentrator monitors both transmit and receive signaling for the idle transmit and idle receive signaling patterns. These can be configured by the signal pattern idle transmit or signal pattern idle receive command, or they can be the defaults. The default idle receive pattern is the idle pattern of the local voice port. The default idle transmit pattern is the idle pattern of the far-end voice port.

In some circumstances, the default delay of 500 ms between the detection of incoming seizure and the opening of the audio path may cause a timing issue.

If, during this delay of 500 ms, the near-end originating PBX has already received the acknowledgement from the far-end PBX to begin playing out digits and the audio path is not yet open, the first Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) digit might be lost over the permanent trunk.

This loss of the first DTMF digit can occur if a Cisco voice gateway has the following trunk conditioning setting:

!
voice class permanent 1
signal pattern idle transmit 0000
signal pattern idle receive 0000
signal pattern oos transmit 1111
signal pattern oos receive 1111
signal timing idle suppress-voice 10
!

The resume-voice milliseconds option has been added in Release 12.4(15)T10 to modify the delay timer and reduce the wait time. We recommend that you specify a delay of less than 500 ms to avoid the loss of any digits due to the possible discrepancy between the detection of incoming seizure and the opening of the audio path.

The output of the show voice trunk-conditioning supervisory command has been modified in Release 12.4(15)T10 to report values for the suppress-voice and resume-voice keywords (of the signal timing idle suppress-voice command) as the "idle = seconds " and "idle_off = milliseconds " fields, respectively.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, sets the signal timing idle suppress-voice timer to 5 seconds for the idle state on voice class 10:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 signal pattern idle receive 0101
 signal pattern idle transmit 0101
 signal timing idle suppress-voice 5
 exit
 dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10
 signal-type transparent

The following example defines voice class 10, sets the idle detection time to 5 seconds, configures the trunk to use the default transmit and receive idle signal patterns, and applies the voice class configuration to VoFR dial peer 100:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 signal timing idle suppress-voice 5
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10
 signal-type transparent

Command History

Release	Modification
12.0(3)XG	This command was introduced on the Cisco MC3810.
12.0(4)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)T.
12.1(3)T	This command was implemented on the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series.

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring signal timing OOS parameters, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. You then assign the voice class to a dial peer.

The signal timing oos restart command is valid only if the signal timing oos timeout command is enabled, which controls the start time for the OOS state. The timer for the signal timing oos restart command does not start until the trunk is OOS.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, creates voice class 10, sets the OOS timeout time to 60 seconds and sets the restart time to 30 seconds:

voice-class permanent 10
 signal-keepalive 3
 signal pattern oos receive 0001
 signal pattern oos transmit 0001
 signal timing oos timeout 60
 signal timing oos restart 30

signaling forward

To configure global settings for transparent tunneling of Q-signaling (QSIG), Q.931, H.225, and ISDN User Part (ISUP) messages on a Cisco IOS voice gateway, use the signaling forward command in voice service VoIP configuration mode. To return to the default tunneling configuration for a gateway, use the no form of this command.

Cisco IOS H.323 Gateways

signaling forward { conditional | none | rawmsg | unconditional }

no signaling forward

Cisco IOS SIP Gateways

signaling forward { none | rawmsg | unconditional }

no signaling forward

Syntax Description

conditional

Specifies that tunneling on an H.323 gateway is determined by the target, which is defined using the session target command. This is the default setting for H.323 gateways.

Note

The conditional keyword is not supported on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) gateways. Instead, the default setting for SIP gateways is that no tunneling is configured (none).

none

Specifies that H.323 and SIP gateways do not forward Generic Transparency Descriptor (GTD), QSIG, or Q.931 payloads to any endpoint in the network. This is the default setting for SIP gateways.

rawmsg

Specifies that H.323 and SIP gateways tunnel H.225, QSIG (application-qsig), or Q.931 raw messages (application-Xq931) only, without GTD.

unconditional

Specifies unconditional tunneling and forwards GTD payload along with the QSIG or Q.931 message body even if the attached external route server has modified it. (The gatekeeper sends its own GTD back to itself.)

H.323 Gateway

conditional --messages are forwarded according to the target:
- Non-Registration, Admission, and Status (RAS) targets--only the original payload (without GTD) is forwarded to the H.323 endpoint.
- All other targets--GTD payload is forwarded along with the message body.

No transparent tunneling of QSIG or Q.931 messages is configured.

12.4(20)T

Support was added for QSIG and Q.931 tunneling over SIP on Cisco IOS voice gateways and the CUBE.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used on H.323 and SIP voice gateways to configure tunneling behavior. Depending on your specific Cisco router, platform, and network, you can use this command to configure tunneling behavior for various messages, such as QSIG, Q.931, H.225, and ISUP messages. To override the global setting for a gateway or to configure tunneling settings on a dial peer, use the signaling forward command in dial peer voice configuration mode.

For more specific information about controlling tunneling behavior using the signaling forward command, see the information included in the following sections:

QSIG and Q.931 Tunneling

Tunneling of QSIG and Q.931 on H.323 gateways is enabled by default for Cisco IOS gateway platforms supporting the signaling forward command. For QSIG and Q.931 tunneling on SIP gateways, however, you must configure at least one interface on both an ingress, or originating gateway (OGW), and an egress, or terminating gateway (TGW).

In addition to signaling forward settings, you must specify QSIG or Q.931 as the central office switch type on the ISDN interface for both the OGW and TGW on a SIP or H.323 network. Use the isdn switch-type command to enable and specify the switch type:

For tunneling QSIG messages, specify the primary-qsig switch type.
For tunneling Q.931 messages, specify any ISDN switch type except primary-qsig and primary-dpness.

Note

Cisco IOS SIP gateways do not support the primary-dpness switch type for tunneling of Q.931.

The table below displays QSIG and Q.931 tunneling behavior as determined by gateway voice class and configuration settings.

Table 1 QSIG Tunneling Behavior by Voice Class and Signaling Forward Setting
Signaling Forward Configuration	H.323 Gateway	SIP Gateway
conditional or no specified setting:	Default.	Not supported.
session target non-ras	Tunnels GTD payload with QSIG or Q.931 message bodies.	No tunneling.
session target ras	Tunnels only QSIG or Q.931 message bodies.	No tunneling.
none	No tunneling.	No tunneling.
rawmsg	Tunnels QSIG or Q.931 message bodies only.	Tunnels QSIG or Q.931 message bodies only.
unconditional	Tunnels GTD payload along with QSIG or Q.931 message bodies.	Tunnels GTD payload along with QSIG or Q.931 message bodies.

SS7 ISUP and H.225 Tunneling over H.323

ISUP defines the protocol and procedures used to configure, manage, and release trunk circuits that carry voice and data calls over the PSTN. ISUP is used for both ISDN and non-ISDN calls and is reconstructed on the basis of the protocol at the egress side of the network, without any concern for the ISDN or ISUP variant on the ingress side of the network.

When you specify that the ISDN (H.225) or ISUP information be provided in text format, the information can also be used by applications inside the core H.323 network such as, in a route server, which can use certain ISDN and ISUP information for routing decisions. Additionally, transporting ISUP encapsulated in GTD maintains compatibility with the H.323 protocol.

If the target is a RAS target, for a non-GTD signaling payload, the original payload is forwarded. For a GTD signaling payload, the payload is encapsulated in an admission request (ARQ)/disengage request (DRQ) message and sent to the originating gatekeeper. The gatekeeper conveys the payload to the Gatekeeper Transaction Message Protocol (GKTMP) and external route server for a flexible route decision based upon the ISUP GTD parameters. The gateway then conditionally forwards the GTD payload on the basis of the instruction from the route server.

To tunnel the ISUP GTD, you must configure the OGW and TGW to encapsulate SS7 ISUP messages in GTD format.

Note

If you specify primary-qsig as the isdn switch-type setting, you must assign network-side functionality (either at the global or dial-peer level) using the isdn protocol-emulate command.

Examples

The following example shows unconditional signal forwarding being set on a global basis, where the GTD payload is tunneled to endpoints over either H.323 or SIP:

Router> enable
Router# configure
 terminal
Router(config)# voice service voip
Router(conf-voi-serv)# signaling forward unconditional

The following example is sample output from the show running-config command when a router is globally configured with unconditional signal forwarding over SIP:

The gatekeeper conveys the payload to the Gatekeeper Transaction Message Protocol (GKTMP) and external route server for a flexible route decision based upon the ISUP GTD parameters. The gateway then conditionally forwards the GTD payload on the basis of the instruction from the route server.

To tunnel the ISUP GTD, you must configure a dial peer on both the OGW and TGW to encapsulate SS7 ISUP messages in GTD format.

Note

If you specify primary-qsig as the isdn switch-type setting, you must assign network-side functionality (either at the global or dial-peer level) using the isdn protocol-emulate command.

Examples

The following example shows unconditional signal forwarding being set on a SIP dial peer (overriding the global setting for the Cisco IOS voice gateway):

Router> enable
Router# configure
 terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer
 voice 1
Router(config-dial-peer)# signaling forward unconditional
Router(config-dial-peer)# session protocol sipv2

The following example is sample output from the show running-config command when a SIP dial peer is configured with unconditional signal forwarding:

Router# show running-config
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 2357 bytes

Note

The "session protocol sipv2" in the output indicates that this is a SIP dial peer.

The following example shows unconditional signal forwarding being set on an H.323 dial peer (overriding the global setting for the Cisco IOS voice gateway):

Router> enable
Router# configure
 terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer

signal-type

To set the signaling type to be used when connecting to a dial peer, use the signal-type command in dial-peer configuration mode. To reset to the default, use the no form of this command.

signal-type { cas | cept | ext-signal | transparent }

no signal-type

Syntax Description

cas	North American EIA-464 channel-associated signaling (robbed bit signaling). If the Digital T1 Packet Voice Trunk Network Module is installed, this option might not be available.
cept	Provides a basic E1 ABCD signaling protocol. Used primarily for E&M interfaces. When used with FXS/FXO interfaces, this protocol is equivalent to MELCAS.
ext -signal	External signaling. The digital signal processor (DSP) does not generate any signaling frames. Use this option when there is an external signaling channel, for example, CCS, or when you need to have a permanent "dumb" voice pipe.
transparent	Selecting this option produces different results depending on whether you are using a digital voice module (DVM) or an analog voice module (AVM). For a DVM: The ABCD signaling bits are copied from or transported through the T1/E1 interface "transparently" without modification or interpretation. This enables the handling of arbitrary or unknown signaling protocols. For an AVM: It is not possible to provide "transparent" behavior without interpreting the signaling information to read and write the correct state to the analog hardware. This option is mapped to be equal to cas.

Command Default

cas

Command Modes

Command History

Release	Modification
12.0(3)XG	This command was introduced on the Cisco 2600, Cisco 3600, and Cisco MC3810.
12.0(4)T	This command was implemented on the Cisco 7200 series.
12.0(7)XK	The cept and transparent keywords, previously supported only on the Cisco MC3810, are now supported on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, and 7200 series.
12.1(2)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) and Voice over ATM (VoATM) dial peers. It is used with permanent connections only (Cisco trunks and FRF.11 trunks), not with switched calls.

This command is used to inform the local telephony interface of the type of signaling it should expect to receive from the far-end dial peer. To turn signaling off at this dial peer, select the ext-signal option. If signaling is turned off and there are no external signaling channels, a "hot" line exists, enabling this dial peer to connect to anything at the far end.

When you connect an FXS to another FXS, or if you have anything other than an FXS/FXO or E&M/E&M pair, the appropriate signaling type on Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series routers is ext-signal (disabled).

If you have a digital E1 connection at the remote end that is running cept/MELCAS signaling and you then trunk that across to an analog port, you should make sure that you configure both ends for the cept signal type.

If you have a T1 or E1 connection at both ends and the T1/E1 is running a signaling protocol that is neither EIA-464, or cept/MELCAS, you might want to configure the signal type for the transparent option in order to pass through the signaling.

Examples

The following example disables signaling for VoFR dial peer 200:

dial-peer voice 200 vofr
 signal-type ext-signal
 exit

12.4(22)T	Support for IPv6 was added.

Usage Guidelines

If you use this command, you can also use the session target sip-server command on each dial peer instead of repeatedly entering the SIP server interface address for each dial peer. Configuring a SIP server as a session target is useful if a Cisco SIP proxy server (SPS) is present in the network. With an SPS, you can configure the SIP server option and have the interested dial peers use the SPS by default.

To reset this command to a null value, use the default command.

To configure an IPv6 address, the user must enter brackets [ ] around the IPv6 address.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, sets the global SIP server interface to the DNS hostname "3660-2.sip.com." If you also use the session target sip server command , you need not set the DNS hostname for each individual dial peer.

sip-ua
 sip-server dns:3660-2.sip.com
dial-peer voice 29 voip
 session target sip-server

The following example sets the global SIP server interface to an IPv4 address:

sip-ua
 sip-server ipv4:10.0.2.254

The following example sets the global SIP server interface to an IPv6 address. Note that brackets were entered around the IPv6 address:

sip-ua

soft-offhook

To enable stepped off-hook resistance during seizure, use the soft-offhook command in voice-port (FXO) configuration mode. To disable this command, use the no form of this command.

soft-offhook

no soft-offhook

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

This command is disabled by default, which means there is no stepped off-hook resistance during seizure.

Command Modes

Voice-port (FXO) configuration (config-voiceport)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.4(3f) 12.4(4)T4	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

An off-hook indication into a far-end ringing cadence ON condition can occur during glare conditions (outgoing seizure occurring at the same time as an incoming ring). This condition can also occur when the interface configuration includes the connection plar-opx command. If the connection plar-opx command is not configured, the FXO software waits for a ringing cadence to transition from ON to OFF prior to transitioning to the off-hook condition. (Glare can be minimized by configuring ground-start signaling.)

When the soft-offhook command is entered, the FXO hookswitch off-hook resistance is initially set to a midresistance value for outgoing or incoming seizure. This resistance limits the ringing current that occurs during seizure into ringing signals prior to far-end ring-trip. When ringing is no longer detected, hookswitch resistance is returned to its normal lower value. This prevents damage to the FXO line interface that may occur in locations with short loops and conventional ringing sources with low output impedance ringing sources that have the potential to deliver high current.

The soft-offhook command applies to the following FXO interface cards (which use the 3050i chipset):

EM-HDA-3FXS/4FXO (EVM-HD-8FXS/DID, FXO ports only)
EM-HDA-6FXO (on EVM-HD-8FXS/DID)
EM2-HDA-4FXO (NM-HDA-4FXS network module only)
VIC2-4FXO, VIC2-2FXO

Examples

The following example shows a sample configuration session to enable stepped off-hook resistance during seizure on voice port 1/0/0 on a Cisco 3725 router:

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# voice-port 1/0/0 
Router(config-voiceport)# soft-offhook

speed dial

To designate a range of digits for SCCP telephony control (STC) application feature speed-dial codes, use the speed dial command in STC application feature speed-dial configuration mode. To return the range to its default, use the no form of this command.

speed dial from digit to digit

no speed dial

Syntax Description

from digit

Starting number for the range of speed-dial codes. Range is 0 to 9 for one-digit codes; 00 to 99 for two-digit codes. Default is 1 for one-digit codes; 01 for two-digit codes.

Note

Range depends on the number of digits set with the digit command.

to digit

Ending number for the range of speed-dial codes. Range is 0 to 9 for one-digit codes; 00 to 99 for two-digit codes. Default is 9 for one-digit codes; 99 for two-digit codes.

Note

Range depends on the number of digits set with the digit command.

Command Default

The default speed-dial codes are 1 to 9 for one-digit codes; 01 to 99 for two-digit codes.

Command Modes

STC application feature speed-dial configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
12.4(2)T	This command was introduced.
12.4(6)T	The digit argument was modified to allow two-digit codes.

Usage Guidelines

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

Use this command to set the range of speed-dial codes only if you want to change the range from its default. The digit command determines whether speed-dial codes are one-digit or two-digit.

A maximum of nine one-digit or 99 two-digit speed-dial codes are supported. If you set the starting number to 0, the highest number you can set for the ending number is 8 for one-digit codes, or 98 for two-digit codes.

Note that the actual telephone numbers that are speed dialed are stored on Cisco CallManager or the Cisco CallManager Express system. The speed-dial codes that you set with this command are mapped to speed-dial positions on the call-control device. For example, if you set the starting number to 2 and the ending number to 7, the system maps 2 to speed-dial 1 and maps 7 to speed-dial 6.

You can enter numbers in this command in ascending or descending order. For example, the following commands are both valid:

Router(stcapp-fsd)# speed dial from 2 to 7
Router(stcapp-fsd)# speed dial from 7 to 2

To use the speed-dial feature on a phone, dial the STC application feature speed-dial (FSD) prefix and one of the speed-dial codes that has been configured with this command (or the default if this command was not used). For example, if the FSD prefix is * (the default) and the speed-dial codes are 1 to 9 (the default), dial *3 to dial the telephone number stored with speed-dial 3.

This command resets to its default range if you modify the value of the digit command. For example, if you set the digit command to 2, then change the digit command back to its default of 1, the speed-dial codes are reset to 1 to 9.

If the digit command is set to 2 and you configure a single-digit speed-dial code, the system converts the speed-dial code to two digits. For example, if you enter the range 1 to 5 in a two-digit configuration, the system converts the speed-dial codes to 11 to 15.

If you set any of the FSD codes in this range to a value that is already in use for another FSD 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 FSD codes only. The show stcapp feature codes command displays all FSD codes.

Examples

The following example sets an FSD code prefix of two pound signs (##) and a speed-dial code range of 2 to 7. After these values are configured, a phone user presses ##2 to dial the number that is stored with speed-dial 1 on the call-control system (Cisco CallManager or Cisco CallManager Express).

Router(config)# stcapp feature speed-dial
Router(stcapp-fsd)# prefix ##
Router(stcapp-fsd)# speed dial from 2 to 7
Router(stcapp-fsd)# exit

The following example shows how the speed-dial range that is set in the example above is mapped to the speed-dial positions on the call-control system. Note that the range from 2 to 7 is mapped to speed-dial 1 to 6.

Router# show stcapp feature codes
.
.
.
  stcapp feature speed-dial
    prefix ##
    redial ###
    speeddial number of digit(s) 1
    voicemail ##0
    speeddial1 ##2
    speeddial2 ##3
    speeddial3 ##4
    speeddial4 ##5
    speeddial5 ##6
    speeddial6 ##7

The following example sets a FSD code prefix of two asterisks (**) and a speed-dial code range of 12 to 17.

Router(config)# stcapp feature speed-dial
Router(stcapp-fsd)# prefix **
Router(stcapp-fsd)# digit 2
Router(stcapp-fsd)# speed dial from 12 to 17
Router(stcapp-fsd)# exit

srtp (dial peer)

To specify that Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) be used to enable secure calls for a specific VoIP dial peer, to enable fallback, and to override global SRTP configuration, use the srtpcommand in dial peer voice configuration mode. To disable secure calls, to disable fallback, and to override global SRTP configuration, use the no form of this command.

srtp [ fallback | system ]

no srtp [ fallback | system ]

Syntax Description

fallback	(Optional) Enables specific dial peer calls to fall back to nonsecure mode.
system	(Optional) Enables the global SRTP configuration that was set using the srtp command in voice service voip configuration mode. This is the default if the srtp command is enabled in dial peer voice configuration mode.

Command Default

Global SRTP configuration set in voice service voip configuration mode is enabled.

Command Modes

Dial peer voice configuration (config-dial-peer)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.4(6)T1	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can enable secure calls using the srtpcommand either at the dial peer level, or at the global level. The srtpcommand in dial peer voice mode configures call security at the dial-peer level and takes precedence over the global srtp command. Use the srtp command in dial peer voice configuration mode to enable secure calls for a specific dial peer. Use the no form of this command to disable secure calls.

Use the srtp fallback command to enable secure calls and allow calls to fallback to nonsecure mode for a specific dial peer. This security policy applies to all calls going through the dial peer and is not configurable on a per-call basis. Using the srtp fallback command to configure call fallback at the dial-peer level takes precedence over the global srtp fallback command. The no form of this command disables SRTP and fallback. If you disallow fallback using the no srtp fallback command, a call cannot fall back to nonsecure mode.

Use the srtp systemcommand to apply global level security settings to dial peers.

Examples

The following example enables secure calls and disallows fallback for a specific dial peer:

Router(config-dial-peer)# srtp

The following example enables secure calls and allows call fallback to nonsecure mode:

Router(config-dial-peer)# srtp fallback

The following example defaults call security to global level SRTP behavior:

Router(config-dial-peer)# srtp system

Command History

Release	Modification
12.4(6)T1	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the srtp command in voice service voip configuration mode to globally enable secure calls using SRTP media authentication and encryption. This security policy applies to all calls going through the gateway and is not configurable on a per-call basis. To enable secure calls for a specific dial peer, use the srtpcommand in dial-peer voice configuration mode. Using the srtpcommand to configure call security at the dial-peer level takes precedence over the global srtp command.

Use the srtp fallback command to globally enable secure calls and allow calls to fall back to RTP (nonsecure) mode. This security policy applies to all calls going through the gateway and is not configurable on a per-call basis. To enable secure calls for a specific dial peer, use the srtpcommand in dial-peer voice configuration mode. Using the srtp fallback command in dial-peer voice configuration mode to configure call security takes precedence over the srtp fallbackglobal command in voice service voip configuration mode. If you usethe no srtp fallback command, fallback from SRTP to RTP (secure to nonsecure) is disallowed.

Examples

The following example enables secure calls:

Router(config-voi-serv)# srtp

The following example enables call fallback to nonsecure mode:

Router(config-voi-serv)# srtp fallback

srtp negotiate

To enable the Cisco IOS Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) gateway to accept and send a Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) Audio/Video Profile (AVP) at the global configuration level, use the srtp negotiate command in voice service VoIP SIP configuration mode. To disable accepting and sending the RTP AVP, use the no form of this command.

srtp negotiate cisco

no srtp negotiate

Syntax Description

cisco

Allows an RTP to answer an Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) offer.

Command Default

Support for accepting and sending the RTP AVP at the global configuration level is disabled.

Command Modes

Voice service VoIP SIP configuration (conf-serv-sip)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.4(15)XY	This command was introduced.
12.4(20)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.
12.4(22)T	Support was extended to the Cisco Unified Border Element.
15.0(1)M	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M.

Usage Guidelines

The srtp fallback command enables a SIP gateway to allow SRTP fallback using SIP 4xx message responses. With the srtp negotiate command, a SIP gateway can be configured to accept and send an RTP (nonsecure) profile in response to an SRTP profile.

Use the srtp negotiate command in voice service SIP configuration mode to enable SRTP negotiation globally on a SIP gateway to accept and send nonsecure RTP profiles in response to SRTP offers. To override the global setting and specify this behavior for an individual dial peer on a Cisco IOS SIP gateway, use the voice-class sip srtp negotiate command in dial peer voice configuration mode.

There are two scenarios for SRTP negotiation when the srtp negotiate command is enabled:

On a SIP gateway with the srtp fallback command enabled, the gateway accepts RTP answers to SRTP offers.
On a SIP gateway with the srtp fallback command disabled, the gateway allows incoming SRTP calls and responds with an RTP answer.

These behaviors are accomplished using the “X-cisco-srtp-fallback” extension in the supported header of initial SIP messages involved in establishment of the session.

Examples

The following example shows how to accept and send an SRTP AVP at the global configuration level:

Device> enable
 
Device# configure
 terminal
Device(config)# voice
 service
 voip
 
Device(conf-voi-serv)# sip
Device(conf-serv-sip)# srtp negotiate cisco

The following example shows SRTP negotiation being enabled globally on a SIP gateway:

Device(conf-voi-serv)# sip
Device(conf-serv-sip)# srtp negotiate cisco

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(2)XB	This command was introduced.
12.2(2)XB1	This command was implemented on the Cisco AS5850.
12.2(8)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)T. Support for the Cisco AS5850 was not included in this release.
12.2(11)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T. This command is supported on the Cisco AS5850 in this release.
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5.

Usage Guidelines

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) on Cisco VoIP gateways uses DNS SRV queries to determine the IP address of the user endpoint. The query string has a prefix in the form of "protocol.transport." (RFC 2052) or "_protocol._transport." (RFC 2782). The selected string is then attached to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the next hop SIP server.

By configuring the value of 1, this command provides compatibility with older equipment that supports only RFC 2052.

Examples

The following example sets up the srv versioncommand in the RFC 2782 style (underscores surrounding the protocol):

Router(config)# sip-ua
Router(config-sip-ua)# srv version 2
