Support for QSIG Over BRI and Q.931 Over BRI Backhaul
Supported Platforms
4
Cisco MGC Software Release 9.5(2)
–
ISDN Q.921 User Adaptation Layer (IUA)—Added in Release 9.4, this IOCC enables
backhauling of ISDN Q.921 user messages over IP using Stream Controlled Transmission
Protocol (SCTP). This IOCC is used between a Cisco MGC and media gateways.
–
Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)—Enables communication with media gateways and
trunking gateways, making possible the setting up of bearer channel connections used in
Cisco MGC systems configured for call control environments.
–
Message Transfer Part Level 3 (MTP3) User Adaptation (M3UA)—Added in Release 9.4, this
IOCC enables the transport of any SS7 MTP Level 3 User signaling (for example, ISUP and
TUP messages) over IP using SCTP. This IOCC is used between a Cisco MGC and Cisco IP
Transfer Point (ITP).
–
Q.931+—A stateless IOCC, for a Cisco-proprietary protocol, which is a special version of
ISDN that enables forward hauling of Q931+ signaling to a media gateway used with a
Cisco MGC configured for signaling environments.
–
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)—Enables the Cisco MGC to receive and send SIP messages
over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
–
Signaling Control Connection Part (SCCP) User Adaptation (SUA)—Added in Release 9.4, this
IOCC enables the transport of any SCCP user signaling (for example, TCAP messages) over IP
using SCTP. This IOCC is used between a Cisco MGC and Cisco ITP.
–
Signaling System 7 (SS7)—Contains MTP3, which is used for backhauling SS7 signaling to the
Cisco MGC from a Cisco Signaling Link Terminal (SLT).
