High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module

The high-density analog telephony network module is a modular, high-density voice network module that provides dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) detection, voice compression and decompression, call progress tone generation, voice activity detection (VAD), echo cancellation, and adaptive jitter buffering.

The high-density analog telephony network module supports two different expansion modules, providing up to 12 ports in addition to the 4 Foreign Exchange Service (FXS) ports on the base high-density analog telephony network module (NM-HDA). See Table 1 for expansion module support information.

Table 1 Expansion Modules Supported on the Cisco High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module (NM-HDA)

Expansion Modules	Port Type	Number of Ports
EM-HDA-8FXS	FXS	8
EM3-HDA-8FXS	FXS	8
EM-HDA-4FXO	FXO1	4
EM2-HDA-4FXO	FXO	4

1 FXO = Foreign Exchange Office

These expansion modules can be used in the following combinations:

•12 Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) ports (NM-HDA with installed EM-HDA-8FXS and EM3-HDA-8FXS expansion modules)

•Eight Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) ports and four FXS ports (NM-HDA with two installed EM-HDA-4FXO or EM2-HDA-4FXO expansion modules)

•12 FXS and four FXO ports (NM-HDA with installed EM-HDA-8FXS, EM3-HDA-8FXS, and EM-HDA-4FXO or EM2-HDA-4FXO expansion modules)

The FXO expansion module supports a power failure port that connects directly to the central office (CO) in case of failure. Physical ports are added as shown in Table 2.

Table 2 Physical Port Locations

Physical Port	Location	FXS Ports	FXO Ports
1-4	Default on card	1-4	—
5-14	Expansion module 0	5-12 FXS 13-14 Not used	5-8 FXO 9-13 Not used 14 Power failure port Note Port 8 is hard-wired to port 14.
15-24	Expansion module 1	15-22 FXS 23-24 Not used	15-18 FXO 19-23 Not used 24 Power fail port Note Port 18 is hard-wired to port 24.
25	Not used	—	—

---

Tip To maintain an emergency connection during power outages, connect port 14 or port 24 to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Phones connected to port 8 or port 18 fail over to the PSTN connections through port 14 or port 24 during power outages.

---

---

Note If you have specified the use of a private line automatic ringdown (PLAR) off-premises extension (OPX) connection mode for an FXO voice port (with loop resistance less than 8000 Ohm), you must ensure that the soft-offhook option is enabled on the port.

This option allows a stepped offhook resistance during seizure which avoids overloading the circuit during offhook in the event that ringing voltage is present on the circuit at the same time as the trunk seizure. The stepped offhook resistance is initially set to 800 Ohms, then adjusts to 50 Ohms when ringing voltage is not present.

To enable soft-offhook command on the port, and to access the connection command with plar opx syntax, see the Cisco Command Lookup Tool.

---

The digital signal processors (DSPs) on the card support up to 8 ports of high-complexity codecs or up to 16 ports of medium- and low-complexity codecs. The number of DSPs must be increased if more than eight ports of high-complexity codecs are needed. In this case, a DSP expansion module must be installed.

The high-density analog telephony network module is connected to the network using an RJ-21 Amphenol connector on the front panel. The front of the card is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module

Connecting the High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module to the Network

The high-density analog telephony network module is connected to a distribution frame with an RJ-21 cable. (See Figure 2.) RJ-21 cables are not provided with the network module. Some recommended cables are as follows:

•253PP10GYADI male-to-male cable and 253PC10GYADI male-to-female cable from Gray Bar

•AT125-SM patch panel (supports both male and female connection) from Gray Bar

For ordering information, see the "Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines" section.

Adding DSP Expansion Modules

DSP expansion modules can be used if more than eight ports using high-complexity codecs are needed on the high-density analog telephony network module.

To install DSP expansion modules, follow these steps:

---

Step 1 Insert the connector on the DSP expansion module into the module connector on the network module. (See Figure 3.)

---

Note Be sure to press firmly on the DSP expansion module until the board seats onto the connector.

---

Step 2 Insert the screws from the hardware kit through the DSP expansion module into the brackets on the network module.

Step 3 Install the network module into the router, as described in the "Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers" section on page 5.

Figure 3 Installing a DSP Expansion Module

Adding Port Expansion Modules

Port expansion modules can be used to increase the number of ports supported on the high-density analog telephony network module.

To install port expansion modules, follow these steps:

---

Step 1 Decide if the expansion board is going in the EM0 slot or EM1 slot, as shown in Figure 4.

Step 2 Insert the connector on the port expansion module into the module connector on the network module, as shown in Figure 4. Use the alignment pins on the bracket to correctly align the expansion module. If the pin does not properly align with the expansion module, the rear bracket can be adjusted by loosening the screw underneath the bracket and tightening it when the module is correctly in place.

---

Note Be sure to press firmly on the port expansion module until the board seats securely on the connector.

---

---

Caution For each expansion module, two mounting screws must be installed with 6-8 lbs-in (67.8 N-cm) of torque. Failure to properly secure the expansion module to the base module with two screws compromises product reliability. In the case of FXO ports, failure to properly tighten both mounting screws causes FXO ground-start outgoing call operation to fail.

---

Step 3 Insert the screws from the hardware kit through the port expansion module into the brackets on the network module.

---

Warning Failure to secure the expansion module to the base module with two screws defeats the earth ground, causing a potential safety hazard. Statement 347

Step 4 Apply the appropriate label on the front of the card, as shown in Figure 5.

Step 5 Install the network module into the router, as described in the "Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers" section on page 5.

High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module LEDs

Figure 6 shows high-density analog telephony network module LEDs. Table 3 describes their meaning.

Figure 6 High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module LEDs

Table 3 High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module LEDs

LED	Meaning
EN	Green indicates that the module has passed its self-tests and is available to the router.
ACT	Green indicates that the module is ready to process data. It goes on when the boot process is complete and stays on during normal operation.
