  • Q.SIG
    
    
  • Transparent Common Channel Signaling (T-CCS)
    
    
  • Feature group D (FG-D)
    
    
• PA-VXC-2TE1+ allowing for 120 calls of medium-complexity voice and fax calls
  
  
• PA-VXB-2TE1+ allowing for 48 calls of medium-complexity voice and fax calls
  
  
• PA-MCX-2/4/8 TE1 (multichannel 2/4/8 T1/E1) port adapter with ability to share DSP resources on DSP-enabled PA via the TDM bus of the Cisco 7200
  
  
• DSP farm capability allows for optimal DSP usage by non-DSP-enabled voice port adapters such as the PA-MCX-8TE1
  
  
  
  
  

• Transparent Common Channel Signaling (T-CCS) allows proprietary inter-PBX signaling to pass through a Cisco 7200
  
  
• Q.SIG support allows the Cisco 7200 voice gateway to terminate PBX signaling to allow inter-PBX communication for Q.SIG-compliant PBXs
  
  
• Feature group D support allows the voice gateway to pass ANI/DNIS and allow for alternate carrier selection
  
  
  
  
  

Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) Integration

• Cisco 7200 uses the Cisco SC2200 to access the carrier SS7 network
  
  
• Q.931 over IP (using NI2+, which is the extension of National ISDN protocol stack to support signaling control for the Cisco 7200 voice gateway)
  
  
• Cisco IOS^® Software Release 12.2(1)T
  
  
  
  
  

MGCP Backhaul

• Signaling is backhauled to a Cisco VSC3000
  
  
• Allows separation of call control and media streams,
  
  
• to support a scalable architecture with a Virtual Switch Controller (VSC3000) Call Agent controlling multiple Cisco 7200 voice gateways
  
  
• Support for standards-based Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), allowing the Cisco 7200 to receive instructions from the VSC3000
  
  
• Provides a scalable standards-based solution
  
  
• Provides a carrier-class solution
  
  
  
  
  

Voice over ATM Solutions

Cisco offers three different Voice over ATM solutions including: AAL2 VoATM, AAL-1 CES, and AAL5 (FRF.11 over AAL5)

AAL2 Voice over ATM

The Cisco 7200 voice gateway supports a ATM Forum standards-compliant voice over AAL2 solution. The primary application is to replace a public or private TDM network with an ATM network and offer voice services with ATM quality of service and AAL2 bandwidth efficiency.

• Supports G.711, G.729, and G.726 codecs with voice activity detection and silence suppression
  
  
• Supports fax relay and modem passthru
  
  
• Requires PA-VXC-2TE1+ and PA-A3 port adapters
  
  
• Requires Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(1)T
  
  

AAL1 Circuit Emulation Service (CES)

• Cisco 7200 combines circuit traffic from the CES ports with data traffic from the backplane of the Cisco 7200
  
  
• This application is useful where integration of circuit emulation (voice and video) traffic and packet (data) traffic is required over a public or private broadband ATM network
  
  
• Requires CES PA-A1 port adapter
  
  
  
  
  
• Has four T1 (1.54-Mbps) or E1 (2.0-Mbps) ports and can support both structured (n x 64 kbps) and unstructured ATM Forum-compliant CES, and a single port of either an OC-3 (155 Mbps) single-mode (SM) intermediate reach or a DS3 (45 Mbps) or E3 standards-based ATM interface
  
  

AAL5 (voice over FRF.11 over AAL5)

• The primary application is to terminate Cisco 3810 and
  
  
• Cisco 7200 AAL5 voice traffic onto the digital voice port adapter
  
  
• Connects central site Cisco 7200 to remote site Cisco 3810s via an ATM network
  
  
• Requires PA-VXC-2TE1+ port adapter
  
  
• Requires PA-A3 port adapter
  
  
• Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(3)T
  
  

VoIP Integration with Cisco AVVID

• Cisco 7200 voice gateway interprets and translates signaling from the PSTN or PBX to H.323
  
  
• Cisco 7200 can be used as either:
  
  
  • H.323 Gateway
    
    
  • H.323 Gatekeeper
    
    
    
    
    

For a more dense voice aggregation solution, Cisco also offers the 7200 Rack Density System (RDS) that features front-to-back airflow, cable management and rack mounting and management.
