High-Density Voice over IP Support for the Cisco AS5300/Voice Gateway

Feature Overview

This feature implements high-density voice support on the Cisco AS5300 by using DSPM-549 digital signal processor (DSP) modules. When equipped with Voice Feature Cards (VFCs) and voice-enabled Cisco IOS software, the AS5300/Voice Gateway supports carrier-class VoIP and FAX over IP services.

High-density voice support increases the voice capacity of a Cisco AS5300 up to 120 channels. This increase in voice support provides the voice density of up to four T1 lines (96 voice or FAX calls) or four E1 lines (120 voice or FAX calls).

A fully configured voice-capable Cisco AS5300 router includes two voice carrier cards, each capable of supporting 60 concurrent sessions.

Benefits

The benefits of high-density voice features include:

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to this release:

Compatibility Issues with Existing VoIP Networks

If you intend to use this feature in a network with existing VoIP, be sure to configure G729 pre-ietf on the outgoing and incoming VoIP dial peer.

Use the copy tftp: vfc: copy command with Cisco IOS Release Version12.0(2)XH or a later release. Use the copy tftp vfc copy command (no colons) with Cisco IOS Release Version 11.3(2)NA or a later release.

Before you can configure your Cisco AS5300 to use VoIP, you must first complete the tasks listed below.

Configuration Tasks

Perform the following tasks to configure high-density voice for the Cisco AS 5300:

Identifying Voice Cards

The following steps identify the voice cards in the system and determine whether the VFC is in VCWare mode or ROM monitor mode. The mode determines how you download software to the VFC. If VCWare is not loaded on the VFC, you can use the ROM monitor mode to download the VCWare. Otherwise, the VCWare mode is active.

Step Command Purpose

1 . 

5300> enable

Password: <password>
5300# 

Enter enable mode (also called Privileged EXEC mode).

Enter the password.

You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to 5300#.

2 . 

5300# show vfc <0-2> board

Determine the number of voice cards in the system, the slot number for each card, and the VFC mode (VCWare or ROM monitor) in which you are running.

The VFC mode is indicated as follows:

  • VCWARE running for VCWare mode

or

  • ROMMON for ROM monitor mode

Note the location and the mode type for each voice card. You will need this information when you upgrade the VCWare.

Go to one of the following sections to continue the procedure to upgrade the VCWare:

or

Replacing Firmware with VCWare in VCWare Mode

Use these steps to download new voice software if your voice card is running in VCWare mode. When downloading from a diskette, first copy the software from the diskette to a TFTP server.

12.0(2)XH

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

DTMF is the tone generated when you press a digit on a touch-tone phone. This tone is compressed at one end of a call; when the tone is decompressed at the other end, it can become distorted, depending on the CODEC used. The DTMF-relay feature transports DTMF tones generated after call establishment out of band over a standard H.323 out-of-band method and a proprietary RTP-based mechanism.

The principal advantage of this feature is that it transmits DTMF tones with greater fidelity than is possible in band for most low-bandwidth CODECs, such as G.729 and G.723. Without the use of DTMF-relay, calls established with low-bandwidth CODECs may have trouble accessing automated DTMF-based systems, such as voicemail, menu-based ACD systems, and automated-banking systems.

The gateway only sends DTMF tones in the format you specify if the remote device supports it. If the remote device supports multiple formats, the gateway chooses the format based on the following priority:


Note The cisco-rtp option of dtmf-relay is a proprietary Cisco implementation and only operates between two Cisco AS5300 universal access servers running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2)XH, or between Cisco AS5300 universal access servers or Cisco 2600 or 3600 modular access routers running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2)XH or later releases. Otherwise, the DTMF-relay feature does not function and the gateway sends DTMF tones inband.

Examples

The following example configures DTMF-relay with cisco-rtp when sending DTMF tones to dial-peer 103:

5300# conf t
5300(config)# dial-peer voice 103 voip
5300(config-dial-peer)# dtmf-relay cisco-rtp 
5300(config-dial-peer)# end
5300#
 

The next example configures the gateway to send DTMF inband (the default) when sending DTMF tones to dial-peer 103:

5300# conf t
5300(config)# dial-peer voice 103 voip
5300(config-dial-peer)# no dtmf-relay
5300(config-dial-peer)# end

Command Modes

Command History

Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

12.0(2)XH

The fax transmission rate of 12000 was added.

Usage Guidelines

Use the fax-rate command to specify the fax-transmission rate to the specified dial peer.

The values for this command apply only to the fax-transmission speed and do not affect the quality of the fax itself. The higher transmission rate values increase transmission speed but monopolize a significant amount of the available bandwidth. The slower transmission speeds use less bandwidth.

If the fax-rate command is set above the CODEC rate in the same dial peer, the data sent over the network for fax transmission is above the bandwidth reserved for RVSP. Because more network bandwidth is monopolized by the fax transmission, Cisco does not recommend setting the fax-rate value higher than the CODEC value. If the fax-rate value is set lower than the CODEC value, faxes will take longer to transmit, but use less bandwidth.

Example

The following example sets the fax rate at 12000 bits per second and the size of the fax-data frame to 200 bytes:

5300(config-dial-peer)# fax-rate 12000 bytes 200

Usage Guidelines

Before unbundling a VFC software image that you have just copied over to VFC flash, use the clear vfc x command. Unbundling a DSP firmware set rewrites the default-file and capabilities lists. After unbundling, you must reload the router for any changes to take effect.

Examples

The following example unbundles the high-complexity firmware set into slot 2:

5300# unbundle high-comp vfc 2
 

The following example unbundles the VFC firmware set into slot 1:

5300# unbundle vfc 1
You must do 'clear vfc 1' before unbundling a VFC software
image that you have just copied over to VFC flash.
You have requested unbundling of the default DSP firmware
set which will re-write the default-file and capabilities lists.
After unbundling, you must reload the Router for any changes
to take effect.
Do you want to continue ? [y/n]: n
Unbundling not done.
