Voice port commands for both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810 define the characteristics associated with a particular voice-port signaling type. Voice ports for both the Cisco 3600 series routers and the Cisco MC3810 provide support for three basic voice signaling formats:
Table 14 lists the Cisco 3600 series voice port commands and the signaling types supported. Table 15 lists the Cisco MC3810 voice port commands and signaling types supported. Because the Cisco MC3810 includes either analog voice ports (if the Analog Voice Module is installed), or digital voice ports (if the Digital Voice Module is installed), the table also lists whether the command is supported on analog voice ports, digital voice ports, or both.

Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 MA.
The auto-cut-through command applies to E&M voice ports only on the Cisco MC3810.
The following example enables the Cisco MC3810 to complete a call when a PBX does not provide an M-lead response:
voice-port 1/1 auto-cut-through
g729r8 | Specifies G729, 8k CSA-CELP compression. This is the default. |
g729ar8 | Specifies G729, 8k CSA-CELP Annex A compression. |
g726r32 | Specifies G.726 32K ADCPM compression. |
g711alaw | Specifies G.711 64K PCM A-Law compression. |
g711ulaw | Specifies G.711 64K PCM U-Law compression. |
The default is g729ar8 compression mode.
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 MA.
The g729ar8 compression mode can support a maximum of 24 simultaneously active on-net voice calls on the Cisco MC3810 while the g729r8 compression mode can only support a maximum of 12. Both compression modes have a nominal data rate of 8 kbps.
This command applies to both analog and digital voice ports on the Cisco MC3810.
The following example configures voice port 1/1 on the Cisco MC3810 to support g729r8 compression:
voice-port 1/1 codec g729r8

Use the comfort-noise command to generate background noise to fill silent gaps during calls if VAD is activated. If comfort-noise is not enabled, and VAD is enabled at the remote end of the connection, the user will hear dead silence when the remote party is not speaking.
The configuration of comfort-noise only affects the silence generated at the local interface; it does not affect the use of VAD on either end of the connection or the silence generated at the remote end of the connection.
This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
The following example enables background noise on the Cisco 3600 series:
voice-port 1/0/0 comfort-noise

Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 MA.
This command applies to the Cisco MC3810 only.
Use the condition command to manipulate the bit patterns sent or received by the Cisco MC3810 to match expected patterns on a connected device. Be careful not to destroy the information content of the bit pattern. For example, forcing the A-bit on or off will prevent FXO interfaces from being able to generate both an on-hook and off-hook state.
The following example manipulates the signaling format bit-pattern on voice port 1/1 on the Cisco MC3810:
voice-port 1/1 ccondition tx-a-bit invert condition rx-a-bit invert

To specify a connection mode for a voice port, use the connection voice-port configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable the selected connection mode.
connection {plar | tie-line | trunk | plar-opx} string
plar | Specifies a private line auto ring down (PLAR) connection. PLAR is handled by associating a peer directly with an interface; when an interface goes off-hook, the peer is used to set up the second call leg and conference them together without the caller having to dial any digits. |
tie-line | (This keyword is specific to the Cisco MC3810.) Specifies a tie-line connection to a private branch exchange (PBX). |
trunk | (This keyword is specific to the Cisco 3600.) Specifies a straight tie-line connection to a private branch exchange (PBX). |
plar-opx | (This keyword is specific to the Cisco MC3810) Specifies a PLAR Off-Premises eXtension connection. Using this option, the local voice-port provides a local response before the remote voice-port receives an answer. On FXO interfaces, the voice-port will not answer until the remote side answers. |
string | Specifies the destination telephone number. Valid entries are any series of digits that specify the E.164 telephone number. |
No connection mode is specified.
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
Use the connection command to specify a connection mode for a specific interface. For example, use the connection plar command to specify a PLAR interface. The string you configure for this command is used as the called number for all calls coming in over this connection. The destination peer is determined by called number.
Use the connection trunk command on a Cisco 3600 series router to specify a straight tie-line connection (in other words, a virtual trunk connection) to a PBX. Voice over IP simulates a trunk connection by creating virtual trunk tie lines between PBXs connected to Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers on each side of a VoIP connection. (See Figure 3.) In this example, two PBXs are connected using a virtual trunk. PBX-A is connected to Router A via an E&M voice port; PBX-B is connected to Router B via an E&M voice port. The Cisco routers spoof the connected PBXs into believing that a permanent trunk tie line exists between them.

To configure virtual trunk connections in Voice over IP, use the connection trunk command. The following conditions must be met for Voice over IP to support virtual trunk connections:
VoIP establishes the trunk connection immediately after it is configured. Both ports on either end of the connection are dedicated until you disable trunking for that connection. If for some reason the link between the two switching systems goes down, the virtual trunk re-establishes itself after the link comes back up.
If the connection command is not configured, the standard session application outputs a dial tone when the interface goes off-hook until enough digits are collected to match a dial-peer and complete the call.
The connection tie-line command is used on the Cisco MC3810 when a dial plan requires that additional digits are added in front of any digits dialed by the PBX, and that the combined set of digits are used to route the call via the dial-peers and into the network. The operation is similar to the connection plar command operation, but in this case the tie-line port also waits to collect digits from the PBX. The tie-line digits are also automatically stripped by a terminating port.
The following example selects PLAR as the connection mode on the Cisco 3600 series, with a destination telephone number of 555-9262:
voice-port 1/0/0 connection plar 5559262
The following example selects tie-line as the connection mode on the Cisco MC3810, with a destination telephone number of 555-9262:
voice-port 1/1 connection tie-line 5559262
The following example configures the routers on both sides of a Voice over IP connection (as illustrated in Figure 3) to support trunk connections:
Router A:
configure terminal voice-port 1/0/0 connection trunk +15105554000 dial-peer voice 10 pots destination-pattern +13085551001 port 1/0/0 dial-peer voice 100 voip session-target ipv4:172.20.10.10 destination-pattern +15105554000
Router B:
configure terminal voice-port 1/0/0 connection trunk +13085551000 dial-peer voice 20 pots destination-pattern +15105554001 port 1/0/0 dial-peer voice 200 voip session-target ipv4:172.19.10.10 destination-pattern +13085551000

dtmf
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco MC3810 and the Cisco 3600 series.
Use the dial-type command to specify an out-dialing type for an FXO or E&M voice port interface; this command is not applicable to FXS voice ports because they do not generate out-dialing. Voice ports can always detect dtmf and pulse signals. This command does not affect voice port dialing detection.
The dial-type command affects out-dialing as configured for the dial peer.
The following example configures a voice port on the Cisco 3600 series to support a touch-tone dialer:
voice-port 1/0/0 dial-type dtmf
The following example configures a voice port on the Cisco MC3810 to support a rotary (pulse tone) dialer:
voice-port 1/1 dial-type pulse
value | Number of milliseconds the echo-canceller will cover on a given signal. Valid values are 16, 24, and 32. |
16
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco MC3810 and the Cisco 3600 series.
Use the echo-cancel coverage command to adjust the coverage size of the echo canceller. This command enables cancellation of voice that is sent out the interface and received back on the same interface within the configured amount of time. If the local loop (the distance from the analog interface to the connected equipment producing the echo) is longer, the configured value of this command should be extended.
If you configure a longer value for this command, it will take the echo canceller longer to converge; in this case, the user might hear slight echo when the connection is initially set up. If the configured value for this command is too short, the user might hear some echo for the duration of the call because the echo canceller is not cancelling the longer delay echoes.
There is no echo or echo cancellation on the network (for example, non-POTS) side of the connection.
The following example adjusts the size of the echo canceller to 16 milliseconds on the Cisco 3600 series:
voice-port 1/0/0 echo-cancel enable echo-cancel coverage 16
The following example adjusts the size of the echo canceller to 16 milliseconds on the Cisco MC3810:
voice-port 1/1 echo-cancel enable echo-cancel coverage 16

Enabled for all interface types.
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
The echo-cancel enable command enables cancellation of voice that is sent out the interface and is received back on the same interface; sound that is received back in this manner is perceived by the listener as an echo. Disabling echo cancellation might cause the remote side of a connection to hear an echo. Because echo cancellation is an invasive process that can minimally degrade voice quality, this command should be disabled if it is not needed.
The echo-cancel enable command does not affect the echo heard by the user on the analog side of the connection.
There is no echo path for a 4-wire E&M interface. The echo canceller should be disabled for that interface type.
The following example enables the echo cancellation feature and adjusts the size of the echo canceller to 16 milliseconds on the Cisco 3600 series:
voice-port 1/0/0 echo-cancel enable echo-cancel coverage 16
The following example enables the echo cancellation feature and adjusts the size of the echo canceller to 16 milliseconds on the Cisco MC3810:
voice-port 1/1 echo-cancel enable echo-cancel coverage 16

Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
Use the impedance command to specify the terminating impedance of an FXO voice-port interface. The impedance value selected needs to match the specifications from the specific telephony system to which it is connected. Different countries often have different standards for impedance. CO switches in the United States are predominantly 600r. PBXs in the United States are normally either 600r or 900c.
If the impedance is set incorrectly (if there is an impedance mismatch), there will be a significant amount of echo generated (which could be masked if the echo-cancel command has been enabled). In addition, gains might not work correctly if there is an impedance mismatch.
Configuring the impedance on a voice port will change the impedance on both voice ports of a VPM card. This voice port must be shut down and then opened for the new value to take effect.
This command is applicable to FXS, FXO, and E&M voice ports on both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
The following example configures an FXO voice port on the Cisco 3600 series for a terminating impedance of 600 ohms (real):
voice-port 1/0/0 impedance 600r
The following example configures an E&M voice port on the Cisco MC3810 for a terminating impedance of 900 ohms (complex):
voice-port 1/1 impedance 900c
value | Specifies, in decibels, the amount of gain to be inserted at the receiver side of the interface. Acceptable value is any integer from -6 to 14. |
0
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
A system-wide loss plan must be implemented using both input gain and output attenuation commands. Other equipment (including PBXs) in the system must be taken into account when creating a loss plan. This default value for this command assumes that a standard transmission loss plan is in effect, meaning that normally, there must be -6dB attenuation between phones. Connections are implemented to provide -6dB of attenuation when the input gain and output attenuation commands are configured with the default value of 0.
You can't increase the gain of a signal going out into the PSTN, but you can decrease it. Therefore, if the voice level is too high, you can decrease the volume by either decreasing the input gain value or by increasing the output attenuation.
You can increase the gain of a signal coming in to the router. If the voice level is too low, you can increase the input gain.
This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
The following example configures a 3-decibel gain to be inserted at the receiver side of the interface in the Cisco 3600 series:
port 1/0/0 input gain 3
The following example configures a 3-decibel gain to be inserted at the receiver side of the interface in the Cisco MC3810:
port 1/1 input gain 3

number | The on-hold music threshold in decibels. Valid entries are any integer from -70 to -30. |
-38
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to the Cisco 3600 series only.
Use the music-threshold command to specify the decibel level of music played when calls are put on hold. This command tells the firmware to pass steady data above the specified level. It only affects the operation of VAD when receiving voice.
If the value for this command is set too high, VAD interprets music-on-hold as silence, and the remote end does not hear the music. If the value for this command is set too low, VAD compresses and passes silence when the background is noisy, creating unnecessary voice traffic.
The following example sets the decibel threshold for the music played when calls are put on hold to -35 on the Cisco 3600 series:
voice-port 1/0/0 music-threshold -35
This command has no arguments or keywords.
The default for this command is enabled for all voice-port types.

This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
The function enabled by the non-linear command is also generally known as residual echo suppression. This command is associated with the echo canceller operation. The echo-cancel enable command must be enabled for the non-linear command to take effect. Use the non-linear command to shut off any signal if no near-end speech is detected.
Enabling the non-linear command normally improves performance, although some users might perceive truncation of consonants at the end of sentences when this command is enabled.
The following example enables non-linear call processing on the Cisco 3600 series:
voice-port 1/0/0 non-linear

Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
The operation command only affects voice traffic. Signaling is independent of 2-wire versus 4-wire settings. If the wrong cable scheme is specified, the user might get voice traffic in only one direction.
Configuring the operation command on a voice port changes the operation of both voice ports on a VPM card. The voice port must be shut down and then opened again for the new value to take effect.
This command is not applicable to FXS or FXO interfaces because they are, by definition, 2-wire interfaces.
On the Cisco MC3810, this command only applies to the analog voice module (AVM).
The following example specifies that an E&M port on the Cisco 3600 series uses a 4-wire cabling scheme:
voice-port 1/0/0 operation 4-wire
The following example specifies that an E&M port on the Cisco MC3810 uses a 2-wire cabling scheme:
voice-port 1/1 operation 2-wire
value | The amount of attenuation in decibels at the transmit side of the interface. Acceptable value is any integer from 0 to 14. The default value for FXO, FXS, and E&M ports is 0. |

Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco MC3810 and the Cisco 3600 series.
A system-wide loss plan must be implemented using both input gain and output attenuation commands. Other equipment (including PBXs) in the system must be taken into account when creating a loss plan. This default value for this command assumes that a standard transmission loss plan is in effect, meaning that normally, there must be -6 dB attenuation between phones. Connections are implemented to provide -6 dB of attenuation when the input gain and output attenuation commands are configured with the default value of 0.
You can't increase the gain of a signal going out into the PSTN, but you can decrease it. Therefore, if the voice level is too high, you can decrease the volume by either decreasing the input gain value or by increasing the output attenuation.
The following example on the Cisco 3600 series configures a 3-decibel gain to be inserted at the transmit side of the interface:
voice-port 1/0/0 output attenuation 3
The following example on the Cisco MC3810 configures a 6-decibel gain to be inserted at the transmit side of the interface:
voice-port 1/1 output attenuation 6

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command is applicable to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
Use the ring frequency command to select a specific ring frequency for an FXS voice port. Use the no form of this command to reset the default value for this command. The ring frequency you select must match the connected equipment. If set incorrectly, the attached phone might not ring or might buzz. In addition, the ring frequency is usually country-dependent and you should take into account the appropriate ring frequency for your area before configuring this command.
This command does not affect ringback, which is the ringing a user hears when placing a remote call.
The following example configures the ring frequency on the Cisco 3600 series for 25 Hz:
voice-port 1/0/0 ring frequency 25
The following example configures the ring frequency on the Cisco MC3810 for 20 Hz:

Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
Use the ring number command to set the maximum number of rings to be detected before answering a call over an FXO voice port. Use the no form of this command to reset the default value, which is one ring.
Normally, this command should be set to the default so that incoming calls are answered quickly. If you have other equipment available on the line to answer incoming calls, you might want to set the value higher to give the equipment sufficient time to respond. In that case, the FXO interface would answer if the equipment on line did not answer the incoming call in the configured number of rings.
This command is not applicable to FXS or E&M interfaces because they do not receive ringing to receive a call.
The following example on the Cisco 3600 series sets five rings as the maximum number of rings to be detected before closing a connection over this voice port:
voice-port 1/0/0 ring number 5
The following example on the Cisco MC3810 sets five rings as the maximum number of rings to be detected before closing a connection over this voice port:

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
When you enter the shutdown command, all ports on the voice interface card are disabled. When you enter the no shutdown command, all ports on the voice interface card are enabled. A telephone connected to an interface will hear dead silence when a port is shut down.
The following example takes voice port 1/1/0 on the Cisco 3600 series offline:
configure terminal voice-port 1/1/0 shutdown
For FXO and FXS:
signal {loop-start | ground-start}For E&M:
signal {wink-start | immediate | delay-dial}
loop-start | Specifies loop start signaling. Used for FXO and FXS interfaces. With loop start signaling only one side of a connection can hang up. This is the default setting for FXO and FXS voice ports. |
ground-start | Specifies ground start signaling. Used for FXO and FXS interfaces. Ground Start allows both sides of a connection to place a call and to hang up. |
wink-start | Indicates that 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. |
immediate | Indicates that 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. |
delay-dial | Indicates that 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 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. |
loop-start for FXO and FXS interfaces; wink-start for E&M interfaces
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco MC3810 and the Cisco 3600 series.
On Cisco 3600 series routers, configuring the signal command for an FXS or FXO voice port changes the signal value for both voice ports on a VPM card.
Configuring this command for an E&M voice port changes only the signal value for the selected voice port. In either case, the voice port must be shut down and then activated before the configured values will take effect.
Some PBXs will miss initial digits if the E&M voice port is configured for Immediate signaling. If this occurs, use Delay-Dial signaling instead. 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.
The following example configures ground start signaling on the Cisco 3600 series, which means that both sides of a connection can place a call and hang up, as the signaling type for a voice port:
configure terminal voice-port 1/1/1 signal ground-start
This command has no arguments or keywords.
The default for this command is enabled.

Use the snmp trap link-status command to enable SNMP trap messages (linkup and linkdown) to be generated whenever this voice port is brought online or offline.
If you are managing the equipment with an SNMP manager, this command should be enabled. Enabling link-status messages allows the SNMP manager to learn of a status change without polling the equipment. If you are not using an SNMP manager, this command should be disabled to avoid unnecessary network traffic.
The following example enables SNMP trap messages for voice port 2/1/0 on the Cisco 3600 series:
voice-port 2/1/0 snmp trap link-stat

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 MA.
This command applies to both the Cisco MC3810 and the Cisco 3600 series.
This command indicates whether or not supervisory disconnect signaling is available on the FXO port. Supervisory disconnect signaling is a power denial from the switch lasting at least 350 milliseconds. When this condition is detected, the system interprets this as a disconnect indication from the switch and clears the call.
You should configure no supervisory disconnect on the voice port if there is no supervisory disconnect available from the switch.
The following example configures supervisory disconnect on a Cisco 3600 series voice port:
voice-port 2/1/0 supervisory disconnect
The following example configures supervisory disconnect on a Cisco MC3810 voice-port:
voice-port 1/1 supervisory disconnect

This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
Use the timeouts initial command to specify the number of seconds the system will wait for the caller to input the first digit of the dialed digits. The timeouts initial timer is activated when the call is accepted and is deactivated when the caller inputs the first digit. If the configured timeout value is exceeded, the caller is notified through the appropriate tone and the call is terminated.
To disable the timeouts initial timer, set the seconds value to 0.
The following example sets the initial digit timeout value on the Cisco 3600 series to 10 seconds:
voice-port 1/0/0 timeouts initial 10
The following example sets the initial digit timeout value on the Cisco MC3810 to 10 seconds:

This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
Use the timeouts interdigit command to specify the number of seconds the system will wait (after the caller has input the initial digit) for the caller to input a subsequent digit of the dialed digits. The timeouts interdigit timer is activated when the caller inputs a digit and restarted each time the caller inputs another digit until the destination address is identified. If the configured timeout value is exceeded before the destination address is identified, the caller is notified through the appropriate tone and the call is terminated.
To disable the timeouts interdigit timer, set the seconds value to 0.
The following example sets the interdigit timeout value on the Cisco 3600 series for 10 seconds:
voice-port 1/0/0 timeouts interdigit 10
The following example sets the interdigit timeout value on the Cisco MC3810 for 10 seconds:

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.
Use the type command to specify the E&M interface for a particular voice port. With 1, the tie-line equipment generates the E-signal to the PBX type grounding the E-lead. The tie-line equipment detects the M-signal by detecting current flow to ground. If you select 1, a common ground must exist between the line equipment and the PBX.
With 2, the interface requires no common ground between the equipment, thereby avoiding ground loop noise problems. The E-signal is generated toward the PBX by connecting it to SG. The M-signal is indicated by the PBX connecting it to SB. While Type 2 interfaces do not require a common ground, they do have the tendency to inject noise into the audio paths because they are asymmetrical with respect to the current flow between devices.
With 3, the interface operates the same as Type 1 interfaces with respect to the E-signal. The M-signal, however, is indicated by the PBX connecting it to SB on assertion and alternately connecting it to SG during inactivity. If you select 3, a common ground must be shared between equipment.
With 5, the Type 5 line equipment indicates E-signal to the PBX by grounding the E-lead. The PBX indicates M-signal by grounding the M-lead. A Type 5 interface is quasi-symmetrical in that while the line is up, current flow is more or less equal between the PBX and the line equipment, but noise injection is a problem.
The following example selects Type 3 as the interface type for your voice port on the Cisco 3600 series:
voice-port 1/0/0 type 3
The following example selects Type 3 as the interface type for your voice port on the Cisco MC3810:
voice-port 1/1 type 3

VAD is not enabled
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to Voice over Frame Relay, Voice over ATM, and Voice over HDLC on the Cisco MC3810.
Use the vad command to enable voice activity detection. With VAD, silence is not transmitted over the network, only audible speech. If you enable VAD, the sound quality will be slightly degraded but the connection will monopolize much less bandwidth. If you use the no form of this command, VAD is disabled on the voice-port.
The following example enables VAD:
voice-port 1/1 vad

The two-beep confirmation tone is heard on the PLAR or PLAR OPX connection.
Voice-port configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 MA.
This command applies only to the Cisco MC3810.
Use this command to disable the two-beep confirmation tone that a caller hears when picking up the handset for PLAR and PLAR OPX connections. This command is only valid if the voice port connection command is set to PLAR or PLAR OPX.
The following example disables the two-beep confirmation tone on voice port 1/1 on the Cisco MC3810:
voice-port 1/1 connection plar-opx voice confirmation-tone

To enter the voice-port configuration mode, use the voice-port global configuration command.
For the Cisco 3600 series:
voice-port slot-number/subunit-number/portFor the Cisco MC3810:
voice-port slot/portFor the Cisco 3600 series:
slot-number | Specifies the slot number in the Cisco router where the voice network module is installed. Valid entries are from 0 to 3, depending on the voice interface card you have installed. |
subunit-number | Specifies the subunit on the voice network module where the voice port is located. valid entries are 0 or 1. |
port | Specifies the voice port. valid entries are 0 or 1. |
For the Cisco MC3810:
slot | Specifies the slot number on the Cisco MC3810. If the analog voice module (AVM) or the digital voice module (DVM) is installed, the slot number is 1. If the multiflex trunk (MFT) is installed, the slot number is 0. |
port | Specifies the voice port number. The valid entries depend on the hardware configuration, as follows: · Analog: 1 to 6 · Digital T1: 1 to 24 · Digital E1: 1 to 15 and 17 to 31 |
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1)T.
This command applies to both the Cisco MC3810 and the Cisco 3600 series.
Use the voice-port configuration command to switch to the voice-port configuration mode form the global configuration mode. Use the exit command to exit the voice-port configuration mode and return to the global configuration mode.
For more information about the physical characteristics of your voice network module, or how to install it, refer to the installation documentation that came with your voice network module.
The following example accesses the voice-port configuration mode for port 0, located on subunit 0 on a voice interface card installed in slot 1 for the Cisco 3600 series:
configure terminal voice-port 1/0/0
The following example accesses the voice-port configuration mode for digital voice port 24 on a Cisco MC3810 with a DVM installed:
configure terminal voice-port 1/24
