Feature Summary
Table 1 Cisco IGX 8400 Universal Router Module Feature Summary
Feature |
Benefits |
Advanced Voice Busyout (AVBO) |
AVBO provides a way to busy out a voice port or DS0 group (timeslot) based on monitored network congestion to remote IP destinations. Service Assurance Agent (SAA) probes are sent periodically to IP destinations, and if the returned values exceed the configured thresholds, the voice interface can be busied out.
|
Any Call to Any Call with end-to-end Interoperability |
Interoperates with Cisco IP phones, analog phones, fax machine connections, and PBX connections to and from any other Cisco voice enabled product.
|
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) |
Supports debit and credit card (prepaid and post-paid calling card) applications.
|
AVVID Interoperable |
Interoperable within the Cisco AVVID architecture.
|
Call Admission Control using RSVP |
Uses Resource ReserVation Protocol (RSVP) to determine end-to-end. Resource availability before establishing a call across an IP infrastructure.
|
Circuit Switched Leased Line Replacement |
Businesses incur significant recurring monthly costs for leased lines purely for the interconnection of telecom PBXs and switches. This product gives these enterprises the ability to remove these costly rigid-bandwidth leased lines and replace them with flexible bandwidth lines, which will be used to carry data, voice, and video. The ability to support proprietary PBX signaling types exists by using connection trunking and transparent CCS.
|
Comfort Noise Generation |
While using VAD, the DSP at the destination emulates background noise from the source side, preventing the perception that a call is disconnected.
|
Connection Trunk |
Creates a tie-line replacement structure while only consuming bandwidth during a call (digital-to-digital or digital-to-analog).
|
DTMF Relay |
Carries DTMF tones/information out-of-band for clearer transmission and detection.
|
Extensive E1 support |
E1 version supports both balanced and unbalanced modes.
E1 G.703 unframed for utilizing the full 2.048 Mbps is also supported.
