isdn all-incoming-calls-v120

To configure an ISDN BRI or PRI interface to answer all incoming calls as V.120 when the terminal adapter uses V.120 signalling but does not send the Lower-Layer Compatibility field in Setup messages, use the isdn all-incoming-calls-v120 command in interface configuration mode.

isdn all-incoming-calls-v120

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

By default, ISDN interfaces answer calls as synchronous serial with PPP encapsulation.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command only when you want all incoming calls to be answered as V.120. If you want the interface to automatically detect whether the incoming call uses V.120 or PPP encapsulation, use the autodetect encapsulation command.

This command applies only when the incoming call originates on an asynchronous device and needs to terminate in an available vty on the router.

Examples

The following partial example shows that BRI 0 is configured to answer all calls as V.120:

interface bri 0
 isdn all-incoming-calls-v120

Related Commands
Command Description

autodetect encapsulation

Enables automatic detection of the encapsulation types in operation over a point-to-point link to a specified serial or ISDN interface.

isdn answer1, isdn answer2

To have the router verify a called-party number or subaddress number in the incoming setup message for ISDN BRI calls, if the number is delivered by the switch, use the isdn answer1 command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the verification request.

isdn answer1 [called-party-number][:subaddress]

no isdn answer1 [called-party-number][:subaddress]

To have the router verify an additional called-party number or subaddress number in the incoming setup message for ISDN BRI calls, if the number is delivered by the switch, use the isdn answer2 command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove this second verification request.

isdn answer2 [called-party-number][:subaddress]


no isdn answer2 [called-party-number][:subaddress]

Syntax Description

called-party-number

(Optional) Telephone number of the called party. At least one value---called-party-number or subaddress---must be specified. The maximum number of digits for called-party-number is 50.

:

(Optional) Identifies the number that follows as a subaddress. Use the colon (:) when you configure both the called party number and the subaddress, or when you configure only the subaddress.

subaddress

(Optional) Subaddress number used for ISDN multipoint connections. At least one value---called-party-number or subaddress---must be specified. The maximum number of digits for subaddress is 50.

Defaults

The router does not verify the called party or subaddress number.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History
Release Modification

10.3

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

If you do not specify the isdn answer1 or isdn answer2 command, all calls are processed or accepted. If you specify the isdn answer1 or isdn answer2 command, the router must verify the incoming called-party number and the subaddress before processing and/or accepting the call. The verification proceeds from right to left for the called-party number; it also proceeds from right to left for the subaddress number.

You can configure just the called-party number or just the subaddress. In such a case, only that part is verified. To configure a subaddress only, include the colon (:) before the subaddress number.

You can declare a digit a "don't care" digit by configuring it as an x or X. In such a case, any incoming digit is allowed.

Examples

In the following example, 5552222 is the called-party number and 1234 is the subaddress:

interface bri 0
 isdn answer1 5552222:1234
 

In the following example, only the subaddress is configured:

interface bri 0
 isdn answer1 :1234

isdn autodetect

To enable the automatic detection of ISDN SPIDs and switch type, use the isdn autodetect command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to disable the automatic detection of ISDN SPIDs and switch type.

isdn autodetect

no isdn autodetect

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

The automatic detection of ISDN SPIDs and switch type is disabled.

Command Modes

isdn bchan-number-order

To configure an ISDN PRI interface to make outgoing call selection in ascending or descending order, use the isdn bchan-number-order command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default (descending order), either use the no form of this command or simply reconfigure the interface with the new value.

isdn bchan-number-order {ascending | descending}

no isdn bchan-number-order

Syntax Description

ascending

Makes the outgoing B channel selection in ascending order as follows:

  • Channels 1 to 24 for a T1 controller

  • Channels 1 to 31 for an E1 controller

descending

Makes the outgoing B channel selection in descending order as follows:

  • Channels 24 to 1 for a T1 controller

  • Channels 31 to 1 for an E1 controller

Release Modification

12.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command gives the impression that a call is active when the channel is actually idle.

Use the b_channel 0 keywords to set a false busy signal on the entire interface.

Use the show isdn command with the status keyword to display the DSL number.

Examples

The following example sets the entire PRI interface to a false busy signal; the DSL number was obtained using the show isdn command with the status keyword, and then used in the command:

isdn busy dsl 3 b_channel 0 state 1
 

The following example sets the false busy signal on B channel 11; the DSL number was obtained using the show isdn command with the status keyword, and then used in the command:

isdn busy dsl 3 b_channel 11 state 2

Related Commands
Command Description

Command History
Release Modification

12.0(3)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can use the isdn call interface command to test your DDR configuration. You can also use this command to verify the dialing string and speed without having to know the IP address of the remote router or without configuring a dialer map or string.

Examples

The following example makes an ISDN data call through interface bri 0 to 555-1111 and at a line speed of 56 kbps:

isdn call interface bri 0 5551111 speed 56

Related Commands
Command Description

isdn disconnect interface

Disconnects an ISDN data call without bringing down the interface.

isdn caller

To configure ISDN caller ID screening and optionally to enable ISDN caller ID callback for legacy dial-on-demand routing (DDR), use the isdn caller command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.

isdn caller phone-number [callback]

no isdn caller phone-number [callback]

Syntax Description

phone-number

Remote telephone number for which to screen. Use a letter X to represent a single "don't care" digit. The maximum length of each number is 25 digits.

callback

(Optional) Enables callback.

Defaults

Disabled

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History
Release Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

11.2F

This command was updated.

Usage Guidelines

This command configures the router to accept calls from the specified number.


Note Caller ID screening requires a local switch or router that is capable of delivering the caller ID to the router. If you enable caller ID screening but do not have such a switch or router, no calls are allowed in. Caller ID screening is available on Cisco 7200 and 7500 series, Cisco 4000 series, Cisco 3000 series, and Cisco 2500 series routers that have one or more BRIs.

When the optional callback keyword is used and a call is received from one of the callback numbers, the initial call is rejected (hence, not subject to tolls) and a callback is initiated to that calling number.

When Xs are used in the callback number, dialer caller screening is based on a best match system that uses the number of Xs as a criterion. To make callback calls only to specified numbers or ranges of numbers but to accept any other incoming calls, make sure that the number of Xs in any configuration line that uses the callback keyword is less than the number of Xs in any configuration line that does not use the keyword.

For example, if you use at most four Xs in the configuration lines with the callback keyword, then to accept calls from other numbers use at least five Xs in a configuration line that does not use the keyword.

The maximum length of each number is 25 characters. There is no limit on the numbers you can specify per interface.

Examples

The following example configures the router to accept a call with a delivered caller ID equal to 4155551234:

isdn caller 4155551234
 

The following example configures the router to accept a call with a delivered caller ID having 41555512 and any numbers in the last two positions:

isdn caller 41555512xx
 

In the following example, callback calls will be made only to numbers in the 555 and 556 exchanges, but any other number can call in:

isdn caller 408555xxxx callback
isdn caller 408556xxxx callback
isdn caller xxxxx

Command History
Release Modification

10.3

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

An interface can have only one ISDN calling-number entry.

For ISDN BRI, this command is intended for use when the ISDN network offers TS014 tariffing, in which devices present the calling (billing) number.

For ISDN PRI, this command is intended for use when the network offers better pricing on calls in which devices present the calling number (that is, the billing number). The calling number information is included in the outgoing setup message.


Note This command cannot be used with German 1TR6 ISDN BRI switches. It can be used with all other switches, including all ISDN PRI switches.

Examples

The following example first configures the T1 interface, then configures the D channel interface to present the billing number 4233570925 when it makes outgoing calls:

controller t1 1/1
 framing esf 
 linecode b8zs
 pri-group timeslots 1-23
 isdn switchtype primary-4ess

interface serial 1/1:23
 ip address 7.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 isdn calling-number 4233570925
 dialer map ip 7.1.1.2 name dallas 14193460913

In the following example, the ISDN BRI interface is configured to present the number 5551212 when it makes outgoing calls:

interface bri 0
 isdn calling-number 5551212

Command History
Release Modification

12.0(3)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command if your ISDN line is connected to an NI1 or a Nortel DMS-100 Custom switch. Your telephone service provider should provide an ISDN conference code when you order three-way call conferencing.

Examples

The following example specifies 61 as the ISDN conference code:

isdn conference-code 61

isdn disconnect-cause

To send a specific ISDN cause code to the switch, use the isdn disconnect-cause command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of the command to return to the default condition.

isdn disconnect-cause {cause-code-number | busy | not-available}

no isdn disconnect-cause

cause-code-number

Sends a cause code number (submitted as integer 1 through 127) to the switch.

busy

Sends the USER BUSY code to the switch.

not-available

Sends the CHANNEL-NOT-AVAILABLE code to the switch.

Defaults

The default condition is no cause code override. If the isdn disconnect-cause command is not configured, the default cause codes of the application are sent.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History
Release Modification

12.0(5)T

This command was introduced, and is a replacement for the isdn modem-busy-cause command.

Usage Guidelines

The isdn disconnect-cause command overrides specific cause codes such as modem availability and resource pooling that are sent to the switch by ISDN applications. When the isdn disconnect-cause command is implemented, the configured cause codes are sent to the switch; otherwise, the default cause codes of the application are sent.

ISDN protocol errors will still be reflected in the cause code and not be overridden.

Examples

The following example sends the CHANNEL-NOT-AVAILABLE code to the ISDN switch:

interface serial0:20
isdn disconnect-cause not-available

isdn disconnect interface

To disconnect an ISDN data call without bringing down the interface, use the isdn disconnect interface command in privileged EXEC mode.

isdn disconnect interface interface {b1 | b2 | all}

Syntax Description

interface

isdn fast-rollover-delay

To specify the time within which an incoming call is dropped before attempting to place the call back call, use the isdn fast-rollover-delay command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove or change a value.

isdn fast-rollover-delay seconds

no isdn fast-rollover-delay

Syntax Description

Number of seconds to allow an incoming call to completely drop before placing the callback call.

Defaults

This command is disabled by default. If enabled, the default value of the timer is 0 seconds.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.1

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command provides a timer separate from the dialer wait-for-carrier timer to control the amount of time that elapses before calls are redialed. This delay is provided to allow the old call to be torn down completely before the new call is attempted.

When using PPP callback, this command specifies the time delay before the callback is done. This command is necessary on some ISDN switches because the new call may be attempted before the old call is completely torn down. This causes the second call or the call back to fail.

Use this command when all the following conditions are true:

If this has occurred, set the isdn fast-rollover-delay command to 5 seconds and try again.

A delay of 5 seconds should cover most cases. Configure sufficient delay to make sure the ISDN RELEASE_COMPLETE message has been sent or received before making the fast rollover call. Use the debug isdn q931 command to display this information.

Examples

The following partial example sets the fast-rollover delay that is suggested when all the conditions specified above are true:

isdn fast-rollover-delay 5

isdn incoming-voice

To route all incoming voice calls to the modem and determine how they will be treated, use the isdn incoming-voice command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to disable the setting or return to the default.

isdn incoming-voice {voice | data [56 | 64] | modem [56 | 64]}

no isdn incoming-voice {voice | data [56 | 64] | modem [56 | 64]}

Syntax Description

voice

Specifies that incoming voice calls bypass the modems and be handled as a voice call.

data

Specifies that incoming voice calls bypass the modems and be handled as digital data. If this keyword is selected, you can specify a B-channel bandwidth of either 56 kbps or 64 kbps. If no argument is entered, the default value is 64.

modem

Specifies that incoming voice calls are passed over to the digital modems, where they negotiate the appropriate modem connection with the far-end modem. If this keyword is selected, you can specify a B-channel bandwidth of either 56 kbps or 64 kbps. If no argument is entered, the default value is 64.

Defaults

isdn incoming-voice data 64

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.1

This command was introduced for ISDN PRI interfaces.

11.1AA and
12.0(2)XC

This command was introduced for ISDN BRI interfaces.

11.2

This command was enhanced for channelized T1.

11.3NA

This command was migrated to Release 11.3NA.

12.0(3)T

This command was migrated to Release 12.0(3)T.

Usage Guidelines

Unless you specify otherwise, all calls received by the router and characterized as voice calls are treated as normal ISDN calls, which are handled as digital data and not passed over to the modem. Ordinarily, a data device ignores incoming voice calls, but the tariff structure for data and voice calls might make it less expensive to do "data over voice" calls.

If you use the voice keyword, incoming ISDN voice calls will be treated as voice calls and handled by either a modem or a voice DSP as directed by CSM.

If the default value is configured and the bearer capability of the incoming call is voice, the call will be rejected.

To answer incoming voice calls at a configured rate (overriding the incoming data rate in the call), use the data keyword.

To establish speedier connections for analog calls to the router, use the isdn incoming-voice command with the modem keyword to have voice calls routed through digital modems (as pulse-code modulated analog data) instead of being treated as digital data.

Configure this command on each D channel in the access server or router. Incoming circuit-switched data calls are not affected by this command.


Note Use the isdn incoming-voice modem command only when you are using ISDN. You must use this command to carry voice over a modem when using ISDN PRI.

Examples

The following example designates incoming ISDN voice calls to be treated as voice calls:

interface 10
 isdn incoming-voice voice
 

The following example for channelized T1 configures the D channel (hence, all B channels) to answer all incoming voice calls at 56 kbps:

interface serial 0:23
 isdn incoming-voice data 56
 

The following example routes all incoming voice calls through the modem as analog data:

interface BRI 0/0
isdn incoming-voice modem
 

The following example enables incoming and outgoing ISDN calls to route to the modems using the D-channel serial interface:

interface serial 0:23
 isdn incoming-voice modem

isdn layer1-emulate

To configure the Layer 1 operation of a BRI voice port as clock master (NT) or slave (TE), use the isdn layer1-emulate command in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to restore the default (user).

isdn layer1-emulate {user | network}

no isdn layer1-emulate

Syntax Description

11.2F

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to aggregate two B channels into a single pipe at a speed of 128 kbps. This service is available only for ISDN BRI.

When you use an ISDN BRI interface for access over leased lines, configure the ISDN BRI as a synchronous serial interface. Do not configure ISDN calling and called numbers.

Examples

The following example configures the BRI 0 interface for leased-line access at 128 kbps in Japan. Because of the leased-line---not dialed---environment, configuration of ISDN called and calling numbers is not needed and not used. The BRI 0 interface is henceforth treated as a synchronous serial interface, with the default HDLC encapsulation.

isdn leased-line bri 0 128
 

The following example configures the BRI 0 interface for PPP encapsulation:

interface bri 0
 ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0

Command History
Release Modification

10.3

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines


Note The isdn not-end-to-end command is valid only when an incoming Layer 3 Setup message contains a Progress Information Element in the message. The command is validated on a call-by-call basis, depending upon the message.

This command might be needed to handle incoming calls properly. Although a call might originate at a speed of 56 kbps, the network or internetworking networks might improperly deliver the call to the user at a speed of 64 kbps. This creates a speed mismatch and causes the data to be garbled. Enabling this command makes the router look more closely at the information elements of the incoming call to determine a speed.

A speed mismatch can occur when the source and destination ISDN ports do not belong to the same network.

Examples

The following example sets the line speed for incoming calls to 56 kbps:

isdn not-end-to-end 56

isdn nsf-service

To configure Network Specific Facilities (NSF) on an ISDN PRI for outgoing calls configured as voice calls, use the isdn nsf-service command. Use the no form of this command to remove NSF on an ISDN PRI.

Release Modification

10.3

This command was introduced.

12.0(3)T

This command was enhanced with the option of associating the SPID with up to three LDNs.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies only to North America and is required for DMS-100 and National ISDN switches. Typically, DMS-100 and National ISDN switch implementations using BRI interfaces with SPIDS require two TEIs, two SPIDS, and two phone numbers. If you want to take advantage of both B channels, it is advised you configure the router with the LDN value after the SPID.


Note Some DMS-100 and National ISDN switch installations may be configured as a "hunt group" whereby all calls are initially forwarded to the primary number. Under these circumstances, you should not configure the LDN. You can determine this by enabling the debug isdn q931 command. If the endpoint identifier (EID) information element is delivered in the incoming setup message, then the switch is addressing the TEIs with the EID, instead of the LDN.

If you want the SPID to be automatically detected, you can specify 0 for the spid-number argument.

The ISDN switch checks for the LDN to determine whether both channels can be used to transmit and receive data. If there is not an LDN present, then only the B1 channel can be used for full-duplex communication. However, the B2 channel can still be used to make outgoing calls.

If you include the local directory number in the no form of this command, access to the switch is permitted, but the other B channel may not be able to receive incoming calls.

Examples

The following example defines, on the router, a SPID and LDN for the B1 channel:

isdn spid1 41555512130101 5551213

The following example shows how to specify that the SPID should be automatically detected, that the primary ISDN local directory number is 4085551111, and that the secondary number is 4085552222:

isdn spid1 0 4085551111 4085552222

The following example defines, on the router, a SPID and LDN for the B2 channel:

isdn spid2 41555512140101 5551214

The following example specifies that the SPID should be automatically detected, that the primary ISDN local directory number is 4085551111, and that the secondary number is 4085552222:

isdn spid2 0 4085551111 4085552222

Command Modes

Global configuration or interface configuration


Note This command can be entered in either global configuration or interface configuration mode. When entered in global configuration mode, the basic-qsig switch type command specifies that the Cisco MC3810 use QSIG signalling on all BRI interfaces; when entered in interface configuration mode, the command specifies that an individual BRI voice interface use QSIG signalling. The interface configuration mode setting overrides the global configuration setting on individual interfaces.

Command History

9.21

This command was introduced as a global command.

11.3T

This command was introduced as an interface command.

12.0(3)XG

The basic-qsig and primary-qsig switch type options were added to support BRI QSIG voice signalling.

Usage Guidelines

For the Cisco AS5300 access server, you have the choice of configuring the isdn-switch-type command to support Q.SIG in either global configuration mode or interface configuration mode. When entered in global configuration mode, the setting applies to the entire Cisco AS5300 access server. When entered in interface configuration mode, the setting applies only to the T1/E1 interface specified. The interface configuration mode setting overrides the global configuration setting.

For example, if you have a Q.SIG connection on one line as well as on the PRI port, you can configure the ISDN switch type in one of the following combinations:

For the Cisco MC3810 router, if you are using different Cisco MC3810 BRI port interfaces with different ISDN switch types, you can use global and interface commands in any combination, as long as you remember that interface commands always override a global command.

For example, if you have a BRI QSIG switch interface on BRI voice ports 1, 2, 3 and 4, but a BRI 5ess switch interface on BRI backup port 0, you can configure the ISDN switch types in any of the following combinations:

If you use the no isdn switch-type command in global configuration mode, any switch type that was originally entered in global configuration mode is cancelled; however, any switch type originally entered on an interface is not affected. If you use the no isdn switch-type command in interface configuration mode, any switch type configuration on the interface is cancelled.


Note In the Cisco MC3810, ISDN BRI voice ports support only switch type basic-qsig; ISDN BRI backup ports support all other listed switch types, but not basic-qsig.


Note The dial-peer codec command must be configured before any calls can be placed over the connection to the PINX. The default codec type is G729a.

If you are using the Multiple ISDN Switch Types feature to apply ISDN switch types to different interfaces, refer to the chapter "Setting Up Basic ISDN Service" in the Cisco IOS Dial Services Configuration Guide: Terminal Services for additional details.

The Cisco IOS command parser accepts the following switch types: basic-nwnet3, vn2, and basic-net3; however, when viewing the NVRAM configuration, the basic-net3 or vn3 switch types are displayed, respectively.

To remove an ISDN switch type from an ISDN interface, specify the no isdn switch-type switch-type command.

11.2F

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command creates a new, configurable interface, which can be specified as interface brix:0 in commands, where x is the original BRI interface number.

For example, on a Cisco 4500 router with an MBRI, if the isdn x25 dchannel command is configured on bri5, the new interface is bri5:0 and can be used for configuring the other parameters for X.25 over the D channel. These parameters include the addresses, the map statements, and others.

To display the new interface, use the more system:running-config command.

Examples

The following example creates interface bri 1:0 and configures it for X.25 over the ISDN D channel. This example uses dynamic TEIs, not a static TEI.

interface bri1
 isdn x25 dchannel

11.2F

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to ISDN BRI interfaces only. Only one static TEI is allowed per BRI interface. If a second static TEI is configured, the first static TEI is overwritten.

Some switches require a static TEI be used for X.25 over the ISDN D channel.

When the isdn x25 dchannel command is invoked without the isdn x25 static-tei command, a dynamic TEI is chosen.

Examples

The following example creates static TEI 8 on the X.25-over-ISDN-D channel:

interface bri0
isdn x25 dchannel
isdn x25 static-tei 8
 

Because the isdn x25 static-tei command is missing, the following example configuration sets dynamic TEIs for the ISDN channel:

interface bri0
isdn x25 dchannel

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The keymap command maps individual keys on a non-3270 keyboard to perform the function defined for the 3270 keyboard. Use the show keymap EXEC command to test for the availability of a keymap.

The guidelines for creating a keymap file follow.

Do not name a ttycap entry filename default or the Cisco IOS software will adopt the newly defined entry as the default.

The Keymap Entry Structure

A keymap is a keyboard map file. A keymap consists of an entry for a keyboard. The first part of a keymap lists the names of the keyboards that use that entry. These names will often be the same as in the ttycaps (terminal emulation) file, and often the terminals from various ttycap entries will use the same keymap entry. For example, both 925 and 925vb (for 925 with visual bells) terminals would probably use the same keymap entry. There are other circumstances in which it is necessary to specify a keyboard name as the name of the entry (for example, if a user requires a custom key layout).

After the names, which are separated by vertical bars (|), comes a left brace ({), the text that forms the definitions, and a right brace (}), as follows:

ciscodefault{
clear = '^z';\
flinp = '^x';\
enter = '^m';\
delete = '^d' | '^?';\
synch = '^r';\
ebcdic_xx='string'
reshow = '^v';\
eeof = '^e';\
tab = '^i';\
btab = '^b';\
nl = '^n';\
left = '^h';\
right = '^l';\
up = '^k';\
down = '^j';\
einp = '^w';\
reset = '^t';\
ferase = '^u';\
insrt = '\E ';\
pa1 = '^p1'; pa2 = '^p2'; pa3 = '^p3';\
pfk1 = '\E1'; pfk2 = '\E2'; pfk3 = '\E3'; pfk4 = '\E4';\
pfk5 = '\E5'; pfk6 = '\E6'; pfk7 = '\E7'; pfk8 = '\E8';\
pfk9 = '\E9'; pfk10 = '\E0'; pfk11 = '\E-'; pfk12 = '\E=';\
pfk13 = '\E!'; pfk14 = '\E@'; pfk15 = '\E#'; pfk16 = '\E$';\
pfk17 = '\E%'; pfk18 = '\E'; pfk19 = '\E&'; pfk20 = '\E*';\
pfk21 = '\E('; pfk22 = '\E)'; pfk23 = '\E_'; pfk24 = '\E+';\
}

Each definition consists of a reserved keyword, which identifies the 3270 function, followed by an equal sign (=), followed by the various ways to generate this particular function, followed by a semicolon (;), as follows:

	pa1 = '^p1'; pa2 = '^p2'; pa3 = '^p3';\
 

Each alternative way to generate the function is a sequence of ASCII characters enclosed inside single quotes (`'); the alternatives are separated by vertical bars (|), as follows:

	delete = '^d' | '^?';\
 

Inside the single quotes, a few characters are special. A caret (^) specifies that the next character is a control (Ctrl) character. The two-character string caret-a (^a) represents Ctrl-a. The caret-A sequence (^A) generates the same code as caret-a (^a). To generate Delete (or DEL), enter the caret-question mark (^?) sequence.


Note The Ctrl-caret combination (Ctrl-^), used to generate a hexadecimal 1E, is represented as two caret symbols in sequence (^^)---not as a caret-backslash-caret combination (^\^).

In addition to the caret, a letter can be preceded by a backslash (\). Because this has little effect for most characters, its use is usually not recommended. In the case of a single quote ('), the backslash prevents that single quote from terminating the string. In the case of a caret (^), the backslash prevents the caret from having its special meaning. To include the backslash in the string, place two backslashes (\\) in the keymap. Table 11 lists other supported special characters.


Table 11: Special Characters Supported by TN3270 Keymap Capability
Character Description

\E

Escape character

\n

Newline

\t

Tab

\r

Carriage return

It is not necessary for each character in a string to be enclosed within single quotes. For example, \E\E\E means three escape characters.

To enter a keymap, provide a unique name for it and explicitly define all special keys you intend to include in it within curly brackets. Also, except for the last line, each line must be terminated with a backslash symbol (\). The last line ends with the closing curly brackets (}) symbol and an end-of-line character.

Keymap Restrictions

When emulating IBM-style 3270 terminals, a mapping must be performed between sequences of keys pressed at a user's (ASCII) keyboard and the keys available on a 3270-type keyboard. For example, a 3270-type keyboard has a key labeled EEOF that erases the contents of the current field from the location of the cursor to the end. To accomplish this function, the terminal user and a program emulating a 3270-type keyboard must agree on what keys will be typed to invoke the function. The requirements for these sequences follow:

Following are examples of acceptable keymap entries:

pfk1 = '\E1';
pfk2 = '\E2';
 

Following are examples of unacceptable keymap entries:

pfk1 = '\E1';
pfk11 = '\E11';
 

In the acceptable example, the keymap entry for pfk1 is not completely included in the keymap entry for pfk2. By contrast, in the unacceptable, or conflicting keymap pair, the sequence used to represent pfk1 is a complete subset of the sequence used to represent pfk11. Refer to the keymap entry provided later in this section for an example of how various keys can be represented to avoid this kind of conflict.

Table 12 lists 3270 key names that are supported in this keymap. Note that some of the keys do not really exist on a 3270-type keyboard. An unsupported function will cause the Cisco IOS software to send a (possibly visual) bell sequence to the user's terminal.

Usage Guidelines

If the receive-window value is set to zero, then sequence numbers are not sent, and congestion control is not enabled. Data zero length body (ZLB) acknowledgments are not sent when congestion control is disabled. If the receive-window value is greater than zero, then congestion control is enabled, and the value that is configured is sent to the L2TP receive window attribute value pair (AVP).

Using the l2tp flow-control receive-window command with a value greater than zero allows you to configure the following L2TP (optional) commands:


If the l2tp flow-control receive-window command is not enabled or the value is set to zero, then the l2tp flow-control maximum-ato and 2tp flow-control backoff-queuesize commands will not appear as configurable options by the command parser.

Examples

The following example configures a receive window value of 25 to be communicated to the remote peer and subsequently enables the configuration of the l2tp flow-control maximum-ato and l2tp flow-control backoff-queuesize commands.

Usage Guidelines

If the LAC/LNS is configured to use a static round-trip time, then adaptive time-outs (ATO) are calculated on the fixed round-trip time value configured using the l2tp flow-control static-rtt command. If the device is not configured with the l2tp flow-control static-rtt command, then flow control is automatically calculated based on packet send and receive times.

Examples

The following example sets a static round-trip delay of 15000 milliseconds, which in turn disables adaptive timeouts:

l2tp flow-control static-rtt 2500

Note You must have the l2tp-flow control receive-window command enabled with a value greater than zero in order to use the l2tp flow-control maximum-ato command.

12.0(1)T

This command was migrated to Release 12.0(1)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command is useful for additional security if PPP is using PAP or proxy authentication between the LAC and LNS. When AV pair hiding is enabled, then the L2TP hiding algorithm is executed, and sensitive passwords that are used between the L2TP AV pairs are encrypted during PAP or proxy authentication. This command is not required if one-time PAP password authentication is used.

In Figure 1, the client initiates a PPP session with the LAC, and tunnel authentication begins. The LAC in turn exchanges authentication requests with the LNS. Upon successful authentication between the LAC and LNS, a tunnel is created. Proxy authentication is done by the LAC, using either PAP or CHAP. Since PAP username and password information is exchanged between devices in clear-text, it is beneficial to use the l2tp hidden command where L2TP AV pair values are encrypted.

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(5)AA

This command was introduced.

12.0(1)T

This command was migrated to Release 12.0(1)T.

Usage Guidelines

Enabling the offset field forces long word header alignment in L2TP payload packets and may improve performance on some platforms (such as those using the 4k MIPS processor). However, this potentially increases the size of the packets. Use the show version command to determine if your Cisco router or access server has a 4k MIPS processor.


Note L2TP offset is enabled by default. Therefore, there is no need to enable this command unless it was previously disabled.

Examples

The following example disables the offset field:

no l2tp offset

lat

To connect to a local-area transport (LAT) host, use the lat EXEC command.

lat name [node nodename | port portname | /debug]

Syntax Description

name

LAT-learned service name.

node nodename

(Optional) Specifies a connection to a particular LAT node that offers a service. If you do not include the node name option, the node with the highest rating offering the service is used. Use the show lat nodes EXEC command to display information about all known LAT nodes.

port portname

(Optional) Specifies a destination LAT port name. This keyword is ignored in most time-sharing systems, but is used by routers and network access servers offering reverse LAT services. Reverse LAT involves connecting to one router from another, so that the target router runs the host portion of the protocol. Enter the port name in the format of the remote system as the portname argument.

/debug

(Optional) Enables a switch to display parameter changes and other special messages.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History
Release Modification

11.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

After entering the lat command, you can quit the connection by pressing Ctrl-C, or complete the connection by entering the password for a given service.

You can have several concurrent LAT sessions open and switch back and forth between them. To open a subsequent session, first enter the escape sequence (Ctrl-Shift-6 then x [Ctrl^x] by default) to suspend the current session. Then open a new session.

To list the available LAT services, use the show lat services EXEC command.

You can temporarily define the list of services to which you or another user can connect. To do so, use the terminal lat out-group command to define the group code lists used for connections from specific lines.

To exit a session, simply log off the remote system. Then terminate an active LAT session by entering the exit command.

If your preferred transport is set to lat, you can use the connect command in place of the lat command. Refer to the chapter "Configuring Terminal Operating Characteristics for Dial-In Sessions" in the Cisco IOS Dial Services Configuration Guide: Terminal Services for more information about configuring a preferred transport type. When your preferred transport is set to none or to another protocol, you must use the lat command to connect to a LAT host.

Examples

The following example establishes a LAT connection from the router named Router_A to host eng2:

Router_A> lat eng2
Trying ENG2...Open
         ENG2 - VAX/VMS V5.2
Username: JSmith
Password:
    Welcome to VAX/VMS version V5.2 on node ENG2
    Last interactive login on Friday,  1-APR-1994 19:46

The system informs you of its progress by displaying the messages "Trying <system>..." and then "Open." If the connection attempt is not successful, you receive a failure message.

The following example establishes a LAT connection from the router named Router_B to something named our-modems and specifies port 24, which is a special modem:

Router_B> lat our-modems port 24

The following example establishes a LAT connection from the router named Router_C to something named our-modems and specifies a node named eng:

Router_C> lat our-modems node eng

The following example uses the LAT session debugging capability:

Router_D> lat Eng2 /debug
Trying ENG2...Open
        ENG2 - VAX/VMS V5.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Before LAT Version 5.2, LAT allowed only one outstanding message at a time on a virtual circuit. This could limit the performance of large routers. For example, only one Ethernet packet of data could be in transit at a time. With LAT Version 5.2, nodes can indicate that they are willing to receive more than one message at a time. During virtual circuit startup, each side communicates to the other how many outstanding messages it is willing to accept.

Examples

The following example enables LAT and configures the LAT host to negotiate 100 receive buffers:

lat enabled
lat host-buffers 100

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Assigning larger values to the number of tries increases the robustness of the LAT service at the cost of longer delays when communications are disrupted. Because LAT generally retransmits messages once per second, the value is approximately the number of seconds that LAT connections will survive connection disruption.

If you bridge LAT, the retransmission limit should be set to at least 20 tries for LAT sessions to survive a worst-case spanning-tree reconfiguration, because bridging spanning-tree reconfiguration can take up to 15 seconds.

Examples

The following example sets the retransmission limit to 30 tries, enough time to sustain the down time incurred when the system must reconfigure a spanning-tree topology:

lat retransmit-limit 30

Usage Guidelines

The Cisco IOS software can be configured to support the service responder feature that is part of the latest LAT Version 5.2 specification.

Specifically, the DECserver90L+, which has less memory than other DEC servers, does not maintain a cache of learned services. Instead, the DECserver90L+ solicits information about services as they are needed.

LAT Version 5.2 nodes can respond for themselves; LAT Version 5.1 nodes, for example VMS Version 5.4 or earlier nodes, cannot. Instead, a LAT Version 5.2 node configured as a service responder can respond in proxy for those LAT Version 5.1 nodes.

The Cisco IOS software can be configured as a LAT service responder. If all your nodes are LAT Version 5.2 nodes, you do not need to enable the service responder features.

Examples

The following example configures a node to act as a proxy for a node when a solicit information multicast message is received. The node configured with this command will respond to solicit messages.

Defines a group of lines consisting of one of more lines.

lat service-timer

To adjust the time between local-area transport (LAT) service advertisements, use the lat service-timer command in global configuration mode.

lat service-timer interval

Syntax Description

interval

Number of seconds between service announcements. Note that the granularity offered by this command is ten-second intervals, and the interval value is rounded up.

Defaults

20 seconds

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.1

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command adjusts the time, in seconds, between LAT service announcements for services offered by the router. This is useful in large networks with many LAT services and limited bandwidth.

Examples

The following example sets the interval between LAT service advertisements to 11, and illustrates the rough granularity of the lat service-timer command:

! The time between LAT service advertisements is set to 11. Because the 
! granularity is in ten-second intervals, the actual time between advertisement
! is 20 seconds.
lat service-timer 11
! 20 seconds between updates
lat service-timer 19
! 120 seconds between updates
lat service-timer 120

lat vc-sessions

To set the maximum number of sessions to be multiplexed onto a single local-area transport (LAT) virtual circuit, use the lat vc-sessions command in global configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove a prior session's definition.

lat vc-sessions number

no lat vc-sessions number

Syntax Description

number

Specifies the number of sessions that will be multiplexed onto a single LAT virtual circuit. This number cannot be greater than 255.

Defaults

255 sessions per virtual circuit

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History
Release Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Setting the number of sessions to a smaller number can increase throughput if there are many sessions on one host, especially with routers with many physical ports. It can also increase overhead if there is little traffic but a large number of sessions to the same host.

Examples

The following example sets the maximum number of sessions to be multiplexed onto a single LAT virtual circuit at 100:

lat vc-sessions 100

lat vc-timer

To set the interval of time local-area transport (LAT) waits before sending any traffic, use the lat vc-timer command in global configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove a timer definition.

lat vc-timer milliseconds

no lat vc-timer milliseconds

Syntax Description

milliseconds

Timer value. Specifies the amount of time LAT will wait before sending traffic. Acceptable values are between 10 and 1000 milliseconds.

Defaults

80 milliseconds

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History
Release Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Smaller timer values increase the overhead on both the router and the host. However, you can use smaller values to correct buffer overflows, which happen when the router receives more data than it can buffer during a virtual circuit timer interval.

Larger values increase the need for buffering and can cause noticeable echoing delay. However, increased values can reduce traffic. In environments with slow bridging, retransmissions can be reduced if you increase the value to at least three times the worst-case, round-trip interval.

Examples

The following example sets the time between transmitting messages to 500 milliseconds:

lat vc-timer 500
