Fax and modem transport parameters are listed in Table 2.

Table 2 Fax and Modem Transport Parameters

Parameter Name

Description

Default

Fax relay enable

Enables/disables fax relay support in the gateway. Enabling this parameter will result in the gateway attempting fax relay negotiation as part of the call setup. If it is enabled but the far end does not support fax relay, the fax call will switch to pass-through mode.

Checkbox checked

Fax error correction mode (ECM) override

ECM is a feature present in some higher-end fax models that enables fax pages to be transmitted error free. If ECM is enabled, the transmission has a low tolerance to jitter and packet loss. This results in a higher number of failed fax calls. For better reliability (even with higher packet loss), ECM needs to be disabled. ECM is disabled by enabling the checkbox.

Checkbox checked

Maximum fax rate

Defines the maximum fax transmission rate to be used during the fax call. This can be used to restrict the bandwidth utilized for fax transmission.

14400

Fax payload size

Configures the size of the fax payload (fax data) carried over real-time transport protocol (RTP). The value can range between 20 and 48.

20

Non standard facilities country code

Overrides the country code passed by the fax machine with the value defined. Setting the value to default (65535) results in the gateway passing the country code values received from the fax machine to the far end. If the value is not the default, then the gateway will pass the configured value as the country code to the far end. It will suppress the actual country code passed by the fax machine. Country code can be received by the gateway from the far end through ISDN. For details about the nonstandard facilities country code, refer to the T.35 specification.

65535

Non standard facilities vendor code

Overrides the vendor/provider code passed by the fax machine with the value defined. Setting the value to default (65535) results in the gateway passing the vendor code values received from the fax machine to the far end. If the value is not the default, the gateway passes the configured value as the vendor code to the far end. It will suppress the actual vendor code passed by the fax machine. The vendor code can be received by the gateway from the far end through ISDN. For details about the nonstandard facilities vendor code, refer to the T.35 specification.

65535

Fax/Modem Packet Redundancy

Enables packet redundancy support for fax and modem calls. Packet redundancy support results in retransmission of packets in case of problems. Enabling redundancy can have a negative impact on performance.

Checkbox unchecked

V.21 Flag Sequence Detection Count

Specifies the number of V.21 flag sequences that need to be detected in order to determine that an incoming fax tone is valid. Increase this value when there are line disturbances that require the gateway to wait for a longer period of time to confirm a fax call.

4

Port Used for Voice Calls

Optimizes the performance of voice calls. If this parameter is enabled and the parameters for modem and fax calls are disabled, the port is configured to accept only voice calls. Enable this parameter only if you are certain that a port will handle voice calls only.

Checkbox checked

Port Used for Modem Calls

Optimizes the performance of modem calls. If this parameter is enabled and the parameters for voice and fax calls are disabled, the port is configured to accept only modem calls. Enabling this parameter improves the performance of the port by reducing or removing the switchover time required to move from voice mode to modem mode. Enable this parameter only if you are certain that a port will handle modem calls only

Checkbox checked

Enabled Port Used for Fax Calls

Optimizes the performance of fax calls. If this parameter is enabled and the parameters for voice and modem calls are disabled, the port is configured to accept only fax calls. Enabling this parameter improves the performance of the port by reducing or removing the switchover time required to move from voice mode to fax mode. Enable this parameter only if you are certain that a port will handlefax calls only

Checkbox checked

Named service event (NSE) type

NSE type attempts to standardize the transfer of tones over real-time transport protocol (RTP). Two NSE standards exist in Cisco products: one for Cisco IOS gateways and one for non-Cisco IOS gateways. The Catalyst 6500 Series Switch 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module supports both standards. You need to configure the right NSE type based on the network setup. If the module needs to talk to a Cisco IOS gateway (a VG200 or AS5300 for example), set this option to IOS Gateway. If the gateways need to talk to other non-Cisco IOS gateways (such as a WS-X6608-E1/T1, VG248, or another WS-X6624-FXS), set this option to non-IOS Gateway.

Non-IOS Gateway

Hot Swapping

Hot swapping lets you remove and replace the 24-port FXS analog interface module while the system is operating. When the system detects that a module has been installed or removed, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation without any user intervention.

Power Management

Because the Catalyst 6500 series modules have different power requirements, certain switch configurations require more power than a single power supply can provide. Although the power management feature allows you to power all installed modules with two power supplies, redundancy is not supported in this configuration.

For detailed information on power management, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide.

Environmental Monitoring

Environmental monitoring of chassis components provides early warning indications of possible component failure to ensure safe and reliable system operation and avoid network interruptions.

For detailed information on environmental monitoring, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide.

Installing the 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module

Slot 1 on the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch is reserved for the supervisor engine (see Figure 2). If you are using a redundant supervisor engine, it would go in slot 2; otherwise, slot 2 can be used for other modules. The 24-port FXS analog interface module can be installed in any of the other slots.

Figure 2 Catalyst 6006/6506 Switch Chassis

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

The section is divided into the following topics:

•Required Tools

•Removing Modules

•Installing Modules

Required Tools

These tools are required to install the 24-port FXS analog module in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:

•Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers for the captive installation screws

•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam

•Wrist strap or other grounding device

Removing Modules

Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

To remove a module from a Catalyst 6500 Series Switch, perform these steps:

Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the ports on the module you intend to remove.

Step 2 Loosen the captive installation screws, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screws

Step 3 Grasp the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously pivot the levers outward to release the module from the backplane connector. Figure 3 shows a close-up of the right ejector lever.

Step 4 Grasp the module front panel with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it out of the slot. Do not touch the printed circuit boards or connector pins.

Step 5 Carefully pull the module straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it.

Step 6 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately install it in another slot.

Step 7 If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate (part number 800-00292-01) to keep dust out of the chassis, to maintain proper airflow through the module compartment, and to prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and current.

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Caution Before connecting system power or turning on the switch, ensure that the system is connected to a supplementary ground. For complete instructions on connecting the supplementary ground, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide publication.

Installing Modules

Follow these steps to install the 24-port FXS analog interface module:

Step 1 Connect an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port on the supervisor engine.

Step 2 Choose a slot for the new FXS analog interface module. Ensure that you have enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the module ports. If possible, place modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.

Step 3 Remove the module from its antistatic packaging.

Step 4 Guide the module into the slot, aligning the sides of the module with the guides in the slot (see Figure 4). Avoid touching the components on the board.

Figure 4 Installing the FXS Module in the Chassis

Step 5 While keeping the module oriented horizontally, carefully slide it into the slot until its front panel contacts the ejector levers (see Figure 3).

Step 6 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously push the left lever and the right lever in to seat the module all the way into the backplane connector.

Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing modules. A module that is partially seated in the backplane causes the system to halt.

Step 7 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the left and right sides of the module (see Figure 3).

Step 8 Check the status of the module as follows:

a. After the module has booted and run diagnostics, ensure that the module Status LED is green (module operational).

b. Enter the show module command at the Cat6000> prompt to verify that the system acknowledges the new module and reports it as ok in the screen display.

Connecting a Cable to the 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module Port

Caution If the symbol of suitability with an overlaid cross (cross-hockey sticks symbol) appears above a port, you must not connect the port to a public network that follows the European Union standards. Connecting the port to this type of public network can cause severe injury or damage your switch.

Use a standard RJ-21 Category 5 telco connector and cable to connect to the RJ-21 connector. Two types of RJ-21 connectors are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. A pinout for the module's RJ-21 connector is provided in Table 6.

Table 2 Fax and Modem Transport Parameters
Parameter Name	Description	Default
Fax relay enable	Enables/disables fax relay support in the gateway. Enabling this parameter will result in the gateway attempting fax relay negotiation as part of the call setup. If it is enabled but the far end does not support fax relay, the fax call will switch to pass-through mode.	Checkbox checked
Fax error correction mode (ECM) override	ECM is a feature present in some higher-end fax models that enables fax pages to be transmitted error free. If ECM is enabled, the transmission has a low tolerance to jitter and packet loss. This results in a higher number of failed fax calls. For better reliability (even with higher packet loss), ECM needs to be disabled. ECM is disabled by enabling the checkbox.	Checkbox checked
Maximum fax rate	Defines the maximum fax transmission rate to be used during the fax call. This can be used to restrict the bandwidth utilized for fax transmission.	14400
Fax payload size	Configures the size of the fax payload (fax data) carried over real-time transport protocol (RTP). The value can range between 20 and 48.	20
Non standard facilities country code	Overrides the country code passed by the fax machine with the value defined. Setting the value to default (65535) results in the gateway passing the country code values received from the fax machine to the far end. If the value is not the default, then the gateway will pass the configured value as the country code to the far end. It will suppress the actual country code passed by the fax machine. Country code can be received by the gateway from the far end through ISDN. For details about the nonstandard facilities country code, refer to the T.35 specification.	65535
Non standard facilities vendor code	Overrides the vendor/provider code passed by the fax machine with the value defined. Setting the value to default (65535) results in the gateway passing the vendor code values received from the fax machine to the far end. If the value is not the default, the gateway passes the configured value as the vendor code to the far end. It will suppress the actual vendor code passed by the fax machine. The vendor code can be received by the gateway from the far end through ISDN. For details about the nonstandard facilities vendor code, refer to the T.35 specification.	65535
Fax/Modem Packet Redundancy	Enables packet redundancy support for fax and modem calls. Packet redundancy support results in retransmission of packets in case of problems. Enabling redundancy can have a negative impact on performance.	Checkbox unchecked
V.21 Flag Sequence Detection Count	Specifies the number of V.21 flag sequences that need to be detected in order to determine that an incoming fax tone is valid. Increase this value when there are line disturbances that require the gateway to wait for a longer period of time to confirm a fax call.	4
Port Used for Voice Calls	Optimizes the performance of voice calls. If this parameter is enabled and the parameters for modem and fax calls are disabled, the port is configured to accept only voice calls. Enable this parameter only if you are certain that a port will handle voice calls only.	Checkbox checked
Port Used for Modem Calls	Optimizes the performance of modem calls. If this parameter is enabled and the parameters for voice and fax calls are disabled, the port is configured to accept only modem calls. Enabling this parameter improves the performance of the port by reducing or removing the switchover time required to move from voice mode to modem mode. Enable this parameter only if you are certain that a port will handle modem calls only	Checkbox checked
Enabled Port Used for Fax Calls	Optimizes the performance of fax calls. If this parameter is enabled and the parameters for voice and modem calls are disabled, the port is configured to accept only fax calls. Enabling this parameter improves the performance of the port by reducing or removing the switchover time required to move from voice mode to fax mode. Enable this parameter only if you are certain that a port will handlefax calls only	Checkbox checked
Named service event (NSE) type	NSE type attempts to standardize the transfer of tones over real-time transport protocol (RTP). Two NSE standards exist in Cisco products: one for Cisco IOS gateways and one for non-Cisco IOS gateways. The Catalyst 6500 Series Switch 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module supports both standards. You need to configure the right NSE type based on the network setup. If the module needs to talk to a Cisco IOS gateway (a VG200 or AS5300 for example), set this option to IOS Gateway. If the gateways need to talk to other non-Cisco IOS gateways (such as a WS-X6608-E1/T1, VG248, or another WS-X6624-FXS), set this option to non-IOS Gateway.	Non-IOS Gateway
