Integrated Voice and Data WAN on T1/E1 Interfaces Using the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Module


This document provides configuration enhancements for the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 digital signaling processor (DSP) card on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745. This feature provides a voice processing (termination) solution with AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 at a density of 30 Voice over IP (VoIP) or Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) voice or fax channels, while not consuming a network module slot.

This feature adds the following benefits:

Integrated voice and serial data WAN functionality on the same T1/E1 interface or on the second port of the voice/WAN interface cards (VWIC)

Support for high-complexity codecs

The serial interface supports the following features:

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Frame Relay (FR), and high-level data link control (HDLC) encapsulations—Up to 120 channels

FR, HDLC, and PPP encapsulation and voice on the same T1/E1 voice interface available in the following two options:

Channel associated signaling (CAS) or Primary Rate Interface (PRI) group, plus the channel group are defined on the same T1/E1 interface in the Cisco 2600 WIC slot.

The DS0 or PRI, plus the channel groups are configured across two ports of the same T1/E1 VWIC. For example, you can configure a DS0 group or a PRI group on port 0, and a channel group on the same port or another port.

HDLC data inversion—Meets the density requirement for T1 links

Compression support—Software and hardware compression is supported on the Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745


Note There is only one Advanced Integration Module (AIM) slot on Cisco 2600 platforms, so hardware compression is not applicable to the Cisco 2600 series.

Information About Integrated Voice and Data WAN on T1/E1 Interfaces Using the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Module

Before you configure the Integrated Voice and Data WAN on T1/E1 Interfaces Using the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Module feature, you must first understand the following concepts:

AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Module

Integrated Voice and Data WAN

High-Complexity Voice Compression

Related Features and Technologies

AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Module

The AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 module is an advanced integration module capable of supporting up to 30 voice or fax channels when used in a Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 2691, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745 with one of the T1/E1 voice/WAN interface cards (such as VWIC-1T1). The AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 module includes DSPs that are used for a number of voice processing tasks such as voice compression and decompression, voice activity detection or silence suppression, and private branch exchange (PBX) or public switched telephone network (PSTN) signaling protocols.

By using the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30, you can support VoIP, VoFR, or VoIP over ATM (VoATM) while leaving the router network module slot open for other functions such as asynchronous or synchronous serial concentration. Refer to the AIM-ATM, AIM-VOICE-30, and AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 on the Cisco 2600 Series and Cisco 3660 feature document for more information.

Integrated Voice and Data WAN

This feature adds integrated voice and serial data WAN service on the same T1 or E1 interface or VWIC on AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 DSP cards. This enhancement enables you to use some DS0 channels for serial data FR, HDLC, and PPP, for example, while the remaining T1 or E1channels can be used for voice CAS or PRI.

Figure 1 shows a typical application scenario. Your ability to integrate voice and serial data on the same T1 or E1 line minimizes the recurring cost of providing PSTN and data WAN access. In particular, integrated access provides a number of voice DS0s (for PSTN access) and a Frame Relay link on the same T1.

Figure 1 Typical Application Scenario

Figure 2 shows a typical deployment scenario in which port 0 of the VWIC-MFT module is connected to a service provider with 20 channels. These 20 channels are used for voice (running CAS or PRI), while the remaining four channels are used for serial data (running Frame Relay). Using this type of configuration, you can take advantage of the integrated service offered by a service provider and minimize the cost of leasing and supporting T1 or E1 lines.

Figure 2 Typical Feature Deployment

High-Complexity Voice Compression

This feature adds high-complexity G.723 and GSM-FR codec support to the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 card so that the DSP can support both medium- and high-complexity codecs running separately. Each DSP core can process a maximum of two voice channels, so each AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 module can support up to 16 voice channels when running a high-complexity DSP firmware image.

The following high-complexity codecs are supported:

G.723.1 5.3K

G.723.1 6.3K

G.723 1A 5.3K

G.723 1A 6.3K

G.729

G.729B

GSM-FR

The following medium-complexity codecs are supported in high-complexity mode:

G.711ulaw

G.711alaw

G.726

G.729A

G.729 AB

Clear-channel codec

Fax relay


Note Neither modem-relay nor GSM-EFR is supported.

How to Configure Integrated Voice and Data WAN on T1/E1 Interfaces Using the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Module

See the following sections for configuration tasks. Each task in the list indicates if the task is required or optional.


Note For detailed configuration tasks for the AIM-ATM, AIM-VOICE-30, refer to the AIM-ATM, AIM-VOICE-30, and AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 on the Cisco 2600 Series and Cisco 3660 feature document.


Configuring Network Clock Source and Participation

Configuring the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Card for High-Complexity Codecs and Time Slots (Optional)

Configuring Serial Data WAN (Optional)

Configuring Network Clock Source and Participation


Note You must configure network clock source and participation to use the Integrated Voice and Data WAN on T1/E1 Interfaces Using the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Module feature.


Packet voice and video are sensitive to time delays. To prevent mismatches and data slips, you must synchronize data flows to a single clock source, known as the network clock. When a network clock is configured on a gateway, the router is externally clocked by one T1 or E1 port and passes that clock signal across the backplane to another T1 or E1 port on another WIC or network module slot. Use of a network clock on a gateway is configured by naming the network modules and interface cards that are participating in network clocking, and then selecting a port to act as the source of timing for the network clock.

The network clock provides timing from the source, through the port to the AIM, and then out to all participating router slots. The Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 2600XM support one internal AIM slot, and the Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745 support two internal AIM slots.

Network Clocking Commands

Three commands configure network clocking: network-clock-participate, network-clock-select, and clock source (digital ports only).

The network-clock-participate command configures the specified router slot to take its clock from the network clock; that is, this command identifies the slots that get their timing from the AIM.

The network-clock-select command is used if the clock is from an external source.This command configures a port in one of the participating slots to be a source for the network clock, and assigns it a priority level. This command is repeated for each port that you want to act as a primary or backup source for the network clock. The highest priority level indicates the port that you want to be the primary source of timing for the network clock. If the highest-priority port becomes unavailable, the second highest priority level takes over automatically as the network clock, and so forth for the lower-priority levels. The clocking is provided to the AIM, which then provides it to participating slots in the router.

Network Clocking Prerequisites

The network clock source must be derived from an external source, for example, PSTN, PBX, or an ATM network. For digital voice ports, the clock source command in controller configuration mode configures the type of timing (internal or from the line) for each port that you designate as a primary source or backup for the network clock.

These commands allow maximum flexibility. For example, on a router with a multiflex trunk VWIC connected to an ATM network and a digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network module connected to a PBX, you could set up network clocking in any of three ways:

The multiflex trunk VWIC provides clocking to the AIM, which provides it to the digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network module (that is, to the PBX).

The digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network module provides clocking to the AIM, which provides it to the multiflex trunk VWIC.

The ATM network and the PBX run their own clocks, which are not necessarily synchronized. However, this scenario could result in poor voice quality.

For a detailed discussion of clock sources on individual ports, see "Clock Sources on Digital T1/E1 Voice Ports" section in the "Configuring Voice Ports" chapter in the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.


Note You must configure the controller for PRI or DS0 groups and for ATM AIM or CAS before configuring network clock participate parameters.


To configure network clock timing and priority for ATM and digital voice ports on the specified platform, complete these steps.

Configuring Clock Source Internal

If you are configuring a clock with an internal source, follow these steps.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

5. exit

6. network-clock-participate [slot slot | wic wic-slot | aim aim-slot-number]

7. exit

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1 

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables higher privilege levels, such as privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2 

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3 

controller t1 slot/port
Example:
Router(config)# controller t1 1/0

Enters controller configuration mode on the T1 or E1 controller on the selected slot and port.

Step 4 

clock source {line [primary] | internal}

Example:

Router(config-controller)# clock source internal

Specifies the source from which the PLL on this port derives its clocking, and if the source is from the line, whether this port is the primary source. The default is line.

The primary keyword specifies that the PLL on this port derives its clocking from the external source to which the port is connected. This option also puts a second port, which is generally connected to the private branch exchange (PBX), into looped-time mode. Both ports are configured with line, but only the port connected to the external source is configured with primary.

The internal keyword specifies that the clock is generated from the T1 or E1 controller internal PLL.

Note If you accept the default, the clock source configuration does not appear in the show running-config command output. Use the show controller command to display the current clock source for a port.

Step 5 

mode atm [aim aim-slot-number]

Example:

Router(config-controller)# mode atm aim aim-slot-number

Specifies that the configuration on this controller is for ATM, using the AIM in the specified slot for ATM processing, and creates ATM interface 0.

The aim-slot argument is the AIM slot number on the router chassis:

Cisco 2600 series—0

Cisco 3660 and Cisco 3700 series—0 or 1

Note The mode atm command without the aim keyword uses software to perform ATM SAR rather than the AIM. This is supported on Cisco 2600 series WIC slots only and is not supported on network module slots.

Step 6 

exit

Example:

Router(config-controller)# exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 7 

network-clock-participate [slot slot-number | wic wic-slot | aim aim-slot-number]

Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate wic 0

Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate slot 5

Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate wic 0

Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate aim 0

Allows the network module or VWIC in the specified slot to use the network clock for its timing.

The keywords you select depend on the platform you are using. See the examples in the network-clock-participate command reference for more information.

Step 8 

exit

Example:

Router(config)# exit

Exits global configuration mode and completes the network clock source and participation configuration.

Example:
Router(config)# controller t1 1/0

Enters controller configuration mode on the T1 or E1 controller on the selected slot and port.

Step 4 

clock source {line [primary] | internal}

Example:

Router(config-controller)# clock source line

Specifies the source from which the PLL on this port derives its clocking, and if the source is from the line, whether this port is the primary source. The default is line.

The primary keyword specifies that the PLL on this port derives its clocking from the external source to which the port is connected. This option also puts a second port, which is generally connected to the private branch exchange (PBX), into looped-time mode. Both ports are configured with line, but only the port connected to the external source is configured with primary.

The internal keyword specifies that the clock is generated from the T1 or E1 controller internal PLL.

Note If you accept the default, the clock source configuration does not appear in the show running-config command output. Use the show controller command to display the current clock source for a port.

Step 5 

mode atm [aim aim-slot-number]


Or

mode cas


Or

ds0-group ds0-group timeslots timeslot-list type {e&m-immediate | e&m-delay | e&m-wink | fxs-ground-start | fxs-loop-start | fxo-ground-start | fxo-loop-start}


Or

pri-group timeslots timeslot-list

Example:

Router(config-controller)# mode atm aim aim-slot-number

Example:

Router(config-controller)# mode cas

Example:

Router(config-controller)# ds0-group ds0-group timeslots timeslot-list type fxs-loop-start

Example:

Router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots timeslot-list

Specifies that the configuration on this controller is for ATM, using the AIM in the specified slot for ATM processing, and creates ATM interface 0.

The aim-slot argument is the AIM slot number on the router chassis:

Cisco 2600 series—0

Cisco 3660 and Cisco 3700 series—0 or 1

Note The mode atm command without the aim keyword uses software to perform ATM SAR rather than the AIM. This is supported on Cisco 2600 series WIC slots only and is not supported on network module slots.

If you are configuring CAS for PRI rather than ATM, use the mode cas command, which specifies CAS mode for software images before Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)T.

Required only for Cisco 2600 series routers when configuring the ds0-group command and using WIC slots; not used on the Cisco 3660 or on Cisco 2600 series routers using network modules.

If you are configuring DS0 groups, use the ds0-group command, which defines the T1 or E1 channels for use by compressed voice calls and the signaling method that the router uses to connect to the private branch exchange (PBX) or central office (CO).

If you are configuring PRI groups instead of DS0 groups, use the pri-group command, which specifies an ISDN PRI on a channelized T1 or E1 controller.

Note When configuring PRI groups, you must also configure the isdn switch-type command. Also, only one PRI group can be configured on a controller.

Step 6 

exit

Example:

Router(config-controller)# exit

Exits controller configuration mode.

Step 7 

network-clock-participate [slot slot-number | wic wic-slot | aim aim-slot-number]

Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate wic 0

Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate slot 5

Allows the network module or VWIC in the specified slot to use the network clock for its timing.

The keywords you select depend on the platform you are using. See the network-clock-participate command reference for more information.

Step 8 

network-clock-select priority {t1 | e1} slot/port

Example:

Router(config)# network-clock-select 1 e1 0/1

Specifies a port to be used as a timing source for the network clock and the priority level for the use of that port. The source that is given the highest priority is used first; if it becomes unavailable, the source with the second-highest priority is used, and so forth.

This command is required if the clock source is from the line

The priority argument selects the priority for the clock source (1 is highest priority).

The t1 and e1 keywords specify the T1 or E1 ports.

The slot argument represents the slot number that identifies the controller clock source.

Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 2600XM—0 (built-in WIC slot) or 1 (network module slot).

Cisco 3660—1 to 6

Cisco 3725 and Cisco 3745—1 to 4.

The port argument represents the port number that identifies the controller clock source. The range is from 0 to 3.

Step 9 

exit

Example:

Router(config)# exit

Exits global configuration mode and completes the network clock source and participation configuration.

Configuring the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Card for High-Complexity Codecs and Time Slots

To configure the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 card for high-complexity codecs and time slot, use the following commands.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. voice-card slot-value

4. codec complexity {high | medium}

5. dspfarm

6. exit

7. controller e1 slot/port

8. ds0-group 0 timeslot 1-16

9. exit

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1 

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables higher privilege levels, such as privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2 

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3 

voice-card slot-value

Example:

Router(config)# voice-card 0

Enters voice-card configuration mode to configure DSP resources on the specified card.

The slot value is the AIM slot number on the router chassis:

Cisco 2600 series and Cites 2600XM—0

Cisco 3660—7 is AIM slot 0, and 8 is AIM slot 1

Cisco 3725—3 is AIM slot 0, and 4 is AIM slot 1

Cisco 3745—5 is AIM slot 0, and 6 is AIM slot 1

Step 4 

codec complexity {high | medium}

Example:
Router(voice-card)# codec complexity high 

Changes the codec complexity to high or medium and matches the DSP complexity packaging to the supported codecs.

Using the high keyword changes codec complexity to high. Using the medium keyword changes the codec complexity configuration back to medium (the default complexity).

When the codec complexity configuration changes, the system prompts you to remove all existing DS0 or PRI groups using the following voice cards:

0 (Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 2600XM)

7 or 8 (Cisco 3660).

3 or 4 (Cisco 3725)

5 or 6 (Cisco 3745)

Then all DSPs are reset, loaded with the specified firmware image, and released.

Note For switched calls, you can configure a high-complexity codec even when the DSPs are loaded with medium-complexity firmware. However, an error message is displayed on the console during the call setup when a high-complexity codec is detected.

This command affects all the DSPs on this voice card. You cannot specify the DSP firmware type based on the DSP chip type.

Step 5 

dspfarm

Example:

Router(config-voicecard)# dspfarm

(Optional) Enters the DSP resources on the AIM specified in the voice-card command into the DSP resource pool.

Step 6 

exit

Example:

Router(config-voicecard)# exit

Exits voice-card configuration mode.

Step 7 

controller e1 slot/port 
Example:

Router(config)# controller e1 1/0

Enters controller configuration mode on the E1 controller on the selected slot and port.

Step 8 

ds0-group 0 timeslots 1-16

Example:

Router(config-controller)# ds0-group 0 timeslots 1-16

Adds DS0 groups on the T1/E1 controller and configures high-complexity time slots.

The ds0-group-number argument specifies the DS0 time slots that make up a logical voice port on a T1 or E1 controller.

The timeslots timeslot-list keyword and argument signify a single time-slot number, a single range of numbers, or multiple ranges of numbers separated by commas.

For T1, allowable values are from 1 to 24.

For E1, allowable values are from 1 to 31

When running high-complexity codecs with the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 module, up to 16 voice channels can be processed.

Step 9 

exit

Example:

Router(config-controller)# exit

Exits controller configuration mode and completes the configuration.

Configuring Serial Data WAN

To configure serial data WAN, use the following commands.


Note You can configure either Step 6 or Step 7, but not both.


SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. controller e1 slot/port

4. clock source {line [primary] | internal}

5. channel-group channel-group-number timeslots range [speed bit-rate] aim [aim-slot-number]

6. ds0-group ds0-group-number timeslots timeslot-list type e&m-immediate-start

Or

7. pri-group timeslots timeslot-range | d-channel timeslot | rlm-timeslot timeslot number]

8. no shutdown

9. end

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1 

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables higher privilege levels, such as privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2 

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3 

controller e1 slot/port
Example:
Router(config)# controller e1 0/1

Enters controller configuration mode on the E1 controller on the selected slot and port.

In this example, a VWIC E1 card is installed in WIC slot 0.

Step 4 

clock source {line [primary] | internal}

Example:

Router(config-controller)# clock source internal

Specifies the source from which the phase-locked loop (PLL) on this port derives its clocking, and if the source is from the line or whether this port is the primary source. The default is line.

The primary keyword specifies that the PLL on this port derives its clocking from the external source to which the port is connected. This option also puts a second port, which is generally connected to the private branch exchange (PBX), into looped-time mode. Both ports are configured with line, but only the port connected to the external source is configured with primary.

The internal keyword specifies that the clock is generated from the T1 or E1 controller internal PLL.

Note If you accept the default, the clock source configuration does not appear in the show running-config command output. Use the show controller command to display the current clock source for a port.

Step 5 

channel-group channel-group-number timeslots timeslot-range [speed bit-rate] aim aim-slot-number

Example:

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 1 timeslots 1-5 aim 0

Directs HDLC traffic from the T1/E1 interface to the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 digital signaling processor (DSP) card.

Step 6 

ds0-group ds0-group-number timeslots timeslot-list type e&m-immediate-start

Example:

Router(config-controller)# ds0-group 2 timeslots 6-12 type e&m-immediate-start

Adds DS0 groups on the T1/E1 controller and configures high-complexity time slots.

Note If you are adding PRI groups instead of DS0 groups, skip this step and proceed to Step 7.

The ds0-group-number argument specifies the DS0 time slots that make up a logical voice port on a T1 or E1 controller.

The timeslots timeslot-list keyword and argument signify a single time-slot number, a single range of numbers, or multiple ranges of numbers separated by commas.

For T1, allowable values are from 1 to 24.

For E1, allowable values are from 1 to 31

When running high-complexity codecs with the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 module, up to 16 voice channels can be processed.

The type keyword specifies the signaling type by which the router communicates with the PBX or public switched telephone network (PSTN).

The signaling method selection for the type keyword depends on the connection that you are making. The recEive and transMit or ear and mouth (E&M) interface allows connection for PBX trunk lines (tie lines) and telephone equipment. The e&m-immediate-start keyword is one of the type keyword choices and is listed on the ds0-group command reference page in the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Command Reference, Release 12.2 T.

Step 7 

pri-group timeslots timeslot-range | d-channel 
timeslot | rlm-timeslot timeslot number]
Example:

Router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 6-23

Adds PRI groups on the T1/E1 controller.

The timeslots timeslot-range keyword and argument represent a single range of values. T1 range is from 1 to 23. E1 range is from 1 to 15.

Note Only one PRI group can be configured on a controller.

Step 8 

exit

Example:

Router(config-controller)# exit

Exits controller configuration mode and completes the process for configuring serial data WAN.

Syntax Description

channel-group-number

Channel-group number on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745 routers. When configuring a T1 data line, channel-group numbers can be values from 0 to 23. When configuring an E1 data line, channel-group numbers can be values from 0 to 30. Valid values can be 0 or 1 on the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400.

timeslots range

One or more time slots or ranges of time slots belonging to the channel group. The first time slot is numbered 1. For a T1 controller, the time slot range is from 1 to 24. For an E1 controller, the time slot range is from 1 to 31.

speed bit-rate

(Optional) Speed of the underlying DS0s in kilobits per second. Valid values are 48, 56, and 64.

The default line speed when configuring a T1 controller is 56 kbps on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, Cisco 3745, and the Cisco MC3810.

The default line speed when configuring an E1 controller is 64 kbps on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, Cisco 3745, and the Cisco MC3810.

The bit-rate argument controls real-time (VBR-RT) traffic shaping, and the maximum burst size (MBS) is 255 cells.

aim aim-slot-number

Directs HDLC traffic from the T1/E1 interface to the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 card on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745.

The aim-slot-number values are 0 for the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 2600XM, 0 or 1 for the Cisco 3660, and 0 or 1 for the Cisco 3725 and Cisco 3745.

channel-number

Valid values can be 1 or 31 on the Cisco SLT (Cisco 2611).


Defaults

The T1/E1 line is connected to the motherboard or network module (NM) serial communication controller (SCC) by default on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745 routers.

The serial interface object encapsulation is set to HDLC on a Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400 network access server (NAS).

Command History

Release
Modification

11.3 MA

This command was introduced on the Cisco MC3810.

12.0

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0 on the Cisco MC3810.

12.0(7)XE

This command was implemented on the Catalyst 6000 family switches.

12.1(1)E

This command was supported on the E train.

12.1(1)T

This command was modified to accommodate two channel groups on a port on 1- and 2-port T1/E1 Multiflex VWICs on the Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series.

12.2(11)T

This command was modified for use on the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400.

12.2(15)T

The aim keyword was added for use on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 2691, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745.


Usage Guidelines

A channel group is created using Advanced Integration Module (AIM) HDLC resources when a channel-group command with the aim keyword is parsed during system initialization or when the command is entered during configuration. You must specify the aim keyword under a T1/E1 controller port to direct HDLC traffic from the T1/E1 interface to the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 card on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745.

If previous channel-group commands are configured with the aim keyword, subsequent channel-group commands without the aim keyword are rejected. Similarly, if a regular channel-group command is followed by another channel-group command with the aim keyword implemented, the second command is rejected on the Cisco 2600 and Cisco 2600XM.

A channel group using AIM HDLC resources is deleted only when a no channel-group command is entered.

When using the Integrated Voice and Data WAN on T1/E1 Interfaces Using the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 Module feature, by default, the channel-group command on a NAS sets the serial interface object encapsulation to HDLC. You can override the default with the encapsulation ppp or frame relay commands for that serial interface object.

When using the Integrated Signaling Link Terminal feature, by default, the channel-group command on a NAS sets the serial interface object encapsulation to HDLC. You must override the default by entering the encapsulation ss7 command for that serial interface object. Once this is done, encapsulation cannot be changed again for that object. The SS7 encapsulation option is new to the Integrated Signaling Link Terminal feature and is only available for interface serial objects created by the channel-group command. The Integrated Signaling Link Terminal feature added SLT functionality on Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 platforms.

A digital SS7 link can be deleted by entering the no channel-group channel-group-number command on the associated T1/E1 controller. The link must first be stopped using the no shutdown command. It is not necessary to remove the channel ID association first.

Use the channel-group command in configurations where the router or access server must communicate with a T1 or E1 fractional data line. The channel group number may be arbitrarily assigned and must be unique for the controller. The time slot range must match the time slots assigned to the channel group. The service provider defines the time slots that comprise a channel group.


Note Channel groups, CAS voice groups, and TDM groups all use group numbers. All group numbers configured for channel groups, CAS voice groups, and TDM groups must be unique on the local Cisco MC3810 concentrator. For example, you cannot use the same group number for a channel group and for a TDM group. Furthermore, on the Cisco MC3810, only one channel group can be configured on a controller.


Valid values for the bit-rate argument have changed. If you specify 56 kbps, the channel group is limited to 14 channels on the Cisco MC3810 MultiFlex Trunk (MFT). Because the 56 keyword is the default, specify the 64 keyword when you need more than 14 channels.

The channel group number can be 0 or 1 on the Cisco SLT (Cisco 2611).

The channel-group command also applies to Voice over Frame Relay, Voice over ATM, and Voice over HDLC on the Cisco MC3810.

Examples

The following example explicitly sets the encapsulation type to PPP to override the HDLC default:

Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)# controller t1 6/0 
Router(config-controller)# channel-group 2 timeslots 3 aim 0
Router(config-controller)# exit 
Router(config)# interface serial 6/0:2 
Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp 
Router(config-if)# ip address 12.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown 
Router(config-if)# end 

The following example defines three channel groups using the Integrated Signaling Link Terminal feature. Channel group 0 consists of a single time slot, channel group 8 consists of seven time slots and runs at a speed of 64 kbps per time slot, and channel group 12 consists of a single time slot.

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 0 timeslots 1 aim 0
Router(config-controller)# channel-group 8 timeslots 5,7,12-15,20 aim 0 speed 64 
Router(config-controller)# channel-group 12 timeslots 2 aim 0

Usage Guidelines

This command is used on the Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 2600XM with an AIM for ATM segmentation. This command is used on the Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745 with reassembly or digital signal processing.

On the Cisco 3700 series, you must use the network-clock-participate command and either the wic wic-slot keyword and argument or the slot slot-number keyword and argument.

This command applies to any network module with T1/E1 controllers to provide clocks from a central source (AIM for the Cisco 2600 or MIX module for the Cisco 3660) to the network module and to the port on the network module. That port can be selected as the clock source with the network-clock-select command to supply clock resources to other ports or network modules that choose to participate in network clocking with the network-clock-participate command. This command synchronizes the clocks for two ports.


Note If the AIM takes its clock signals from a T1 or E1 controller, it is mandatory to use the network-clock-select and network-clock-participate commands for ATM. The clocks for the ATM and voice interfaces do not need to be synchronous, but improved voice quality may result if they are.



Note The only VWICs that can participate in network clocking are those found in Cisco 2600 series WIC slots, digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network modules (NM-HDV), and Fast Ethernet network modules (NM-2W, NM-1FE, and NM-2FE).



Note The wic wic-slot value is only available on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, and Cisco 3700 series.


For the Cisco 2610, you must configure the WIC number; for the Cisco 3660, you must configure the slot number; and for the Cisco 2691, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745, you must configure the WIC and the AIM number.

Examples

The following example configures the network module in slot 5 to participate in network clocking on a Cisco 3660 with a MIX module:

network-clock-participate slot 5
network-clock-select 1 e1 

The following example specifies that the AIM participates in network clocking and selects port E1 0/1 to provide the clock signals on a Cisco 3700 series router:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate wic 0
Router(config)# network-clock-participate aim 0
Router(config)# network-clock-select 2 E1 0/1

The following example specifies the slot number that participates in network clocking and selects port E1 5/0 on a Cisco 3660:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate slot 5
Router(config)# network-clock-select 1 E1 5/0

The following example specifies the WIC number that participates in network clocking and selects port E1 0/0 on a Cisco 2600 series router:

Router(config)# network-clock-participate wic 0

Router(config)# network-clock-select 1 E1 0/0

Glossary

AAL—ATM adaptation layer. Service-dependent sublayer of the data link layer. The AAL accepts data from different applications and presents it to the ATM layer in the form of 48-byte ATM payload segments. AALs consist of two sublayers: the convergence sublayer (CS) and the segmentation and reassembly sublayer (SAR). AALs differ on the basis of the source-destination timing used, whether they use constant bit rate (CBR) or variable bit rate (VBR), and whether they are used for connection-oriented or connectionless mode data transfer. At present, the four types of AAL recommended by the ITU-T are AAL1, AAL2, AAL3/4, and AAL5.

AAL2—ATM adaptation layer 2. One of four AALs recommended by the ITU-T. AAL2 is used for connection-oriented services that support a variable bit rate, such as some isochronous video and voice traffic.

AAL5—ATM adaptation layer 5. One of four AALs recommended by the ITU-T. AAL5 is used for connection-oriented services that support a variable bit rate, such as some isochronous video and voice traffic.

AIM—Advanced Integration Module. Hardware with components that provide specialized processing.

ATM—Asynchronous Transfer Mode. International standard for cell relay in which multiple service types (such as voice, video, or data) are conveyed in fixed-length (53-byte) cells. Fixed-length cells allow cell processing to occur in hardware, thereby reducing transit delays. ATM is designed to take advantage of high-speed transmission media such as E3, SONET, and T3.

CAS—channel associated signaling. The transmission of signaling information within the voice channel. CAS signaling often is referred to as robbed-bit signaling because user bandwidth is being robbed by the network for other purposes.

CRC—cyclic redundancy check. Error-checking technique in which the frame recipient calculates a remainder by dividing frame contents by a prime binary divisor and compares the calculated remainder to a value stored in the frame by the sending node.

DS0—digital service-zero (0). Single time slot on a DS1 (also known as T1) digital interface; that is, a 64-kbps, synchronous, full-duplex data channel, typically used for a single voice connection on a PBX. See also DS1 and PBX.

DSP—digital signal processor. A DSP segments the voice signal into frames and stores them in voice packets.

DSP resource pool—A collection of DSP resources available to a network module or VWIC on the router. These resources are found on another network module or on an AIM.

DTMF—dual tone multifrequency.

E&M—recEive and transMit (or ear and mouth).

FCS—frame check sequence.

FPGA—Field-Programmable Gate Array. A programmable memory device.

HCMs—high-performance voice compression modules.

HDLC—high-level data link control. Bit-oriented synchronous data link layer protocol developed by ISO. Derived from SDLC, HDLC specifies a data encapsulation method on synchronous serial links using frame characters and checksums.

IMA—inverse multiplexing over ATM, a standard defined by the ATM Forum. IMA provides economical, high-bandwidth ATM WAN access by enabling multiple T1 or E1 ATM links to be combined and to appear as one physical link to higher layers.

MGC—Media Gateway Controller.

MF—multifrequency tones.

MIX—multiservice interchange. Feature that allows TDM connections between MIX-enabled ports.

PBX—private branch exchange. Privately owned central switching office.

PDU—protocol data unit. Another name for packet.

PLL—phase-locked loop. An electronic circuit that synchronizes itself to an external reference signal. It locks itself onto the phase or onto the average frequency of the incoming signal, dynamically tracks it, and outputs a related but more useful version. Among the typical applications of a PLL in digital circuits are synchronizing a system to a single clock source and jitter filtering (removing phase noise).

PPP—Point-to-Point Protocol.

PRI—Primary Rate Interface. ISDN interface to primary rate access. Primary rate access consists of a single 64-kbps D channel plus 23 (T1) or 30 (E1) B channels for voice or data.

PSTN—public switched telephone network. General term referring to the variety of telephone networks and services in place worldwide. Sometimes called plain old telephone service (POTS).

SAR—segmentation and reassembly. In ATM, the processes of dividing PDUs into 48-byte pieces of payload data at the source for transport, and then reassembling them into a stream at the destination.

VIC—voice interface card. Provides voice-specific ports, including foreign exchange station (FXS), foreign exchange office (FXO), ear and mouth (E&M), and basic rate interchange (BRI).

VWIC—A card that can operate as a VIC or as a WIC, providing physical connection to WAN or voice networks.

VoIP—Voice over IP. The ability to carry normal telephony-style voice over an IP-based Internet with circuit-based telephone-like functionality, reliability, and voice quality. VoIP is a blanket term that generally refers to the Cisco standards-based (H.323, and so forth) approach to IP voice traffic.

WIC—wide-area network interface card.
