Voice Commands

voice

Syntax

voice

Context

config>port

Description

This command enables the context to configure voice port parameters. This context can only be accessed on the 6-port E&M Adapter card, 8-port Voice & Teleprotection card, 8-port FXO Adapter card, and 6-port FXS Adapter card.

Default

n/a

audio-wires

Syntax

audio-wires {four-wires | two-wires}

Context

config>port>voice

Description

This command configures the number of audio wires to be used for audio transmission for an E&M interface.

A change in the number of audio wires may also require a change in the tlp-rx and tlp-tx values.

Default

four-wires

Parameters

four-wires

four-wire operation

two-wires

two-wire operation. This parameter is not valid if the corresponding port or channel’s signaling type is 4W transmission.

em

Syntax

[no] em

Context

config>port>voice

Description

This command enables the context to configure channel group parameters for a channelized E&M voice interface.

The no form of this command deletes the E&M channel group.

Default

n/a

fault-signaling

Syntax

fault-signaling {idle | seized}

Context

config>port>voice>em

config>port>voice>fxo

config>port>voice>fxs

Description

This command configures a voice channel for idle or seized fault signaling.

On the 6-port E&M Adapter card, this command is valid only if signaling-mode is configured for E&M signaling. The 6-port E&M Adapter card also supports configuration of the idle and seized codes.

Configuration of the idle and seized codes is not supported on the FXO and FXS channels on the 8-port Voice & Teleprotection card, or on the 8-port FXO Adapter card or 6-port FXS Adapter card. The code transmitted depends on signaling type and companding law as shown in Table: Idle and Seized Codes for FXO and FXS Signaling Types.

Description

This command defines the ABCD signaling code to be transmitted when the voice channel is configured to transmit idle fault signaling. The command is also used for driving/scanning the E&M signaling leads.

This command is valid only on the 6-port E&M Adapter card and only if signaling-mode is configured for E&M signaling.

The no form of this command reverts to the default value.

Default

0 (for Mu-Law companding)

13 (for A-Law companding)

Parameters

abcd-code

the 4-bit ABCD value to be transmitted

Values

0 to 15 (can be entered in decimal, binary, or hexadecimal format)

config>port>voice

Description

This command configures the line balance for the FXO or FXS voice interface on the 8-port Voice & Teleprotection card, for the FXO voice interface on the 8-port FXO Adapter card, and for the FXS voice interface on the 6-port FXS Adapter card.

Default

nominal (for both FXS and FXO)

Parameters

nominal

600 Ω

800

800 Ω//(100 Ω+50 nF)

loopback

Syntax

loopback {internal-analog | internal-digital}

no loopback

Context

config>port>voice>em

config>port>voice>fxo

config>port>voice>fxs

Description

This command puts the specified port or channel in loopback mode. The internal-digital parameter is the only valid option for FXO and FXS.

The loopback command is not saved to the system configuration between boots.

The no form of this command disables the loopback.

Default

no loopback

Parameters

internal-analog

places the associated port or channel into an internal analog loopback mode. The internal analog loopback resides in the CODEC, close to the line side. It loops the outgoing analog signals back towards the system. For E&M ports, the loopback analog signal may be looped back at a different signal level due to gain/loss circuits outside of the CODEC being bypassed.

internal-digital

places the associated port or channel into an internal digital loopback mode. The internal digital loopback resides in the CODEC, close to the system side. It loops the outgoing frames back towards the system.

ring-generation

Syntax

ring-generation {16 | 20 | 25}

no ring-generation

Context

config>port>voice

Description

This command configures the frequency of the generated ring signal for the specified FXS voice port.

This command does not apply to FXO or E&M ports.

The no form of this command reverts to the default value.

Default

16

Parameters

16

16 Hz ring signal

20

20 Hz ring signal

25

25 Hz ring signal

seized-code

Syntax

seized-code abcd-code

no seized-code

Context

config>port>voice>em

Description

signaling-mode

Syntax

signaling-mode {em | transmission-only}

Context

config>port>voice>em

Description

This command configures the signaling mode for the specified port or channel. This configuration is done for groups of three ports (ports 1 to 3 and ports 4 to 6). The first port to be configured in the group sets the signaling mode for the other ports in the group. For example, if port 1 is set for transmission only, ports 2 and 3 must also be set for transmission only, and if port 4 is set for E&M signaling, ports 5 and 6 must also be set for E&M signaling. To change the signaling mode of a port, all ports in the group must first be deconfigured.

Default

em

Parameters

em

specifies E&M signaling mode

transmission-only

specifies transmission-only mode. This parameter is not valid if audio-wires is configured for two-wire operation.
