Power Up the Cisco MC3810 Checklist for Power-Up You are ready to power up the Cisco MC3810 if it meets these requirements: • Securely mounted • Power connected; Cisco RPS powered on, if used as the power source • Interface cables connected Power-Up Procedure Perform this procedure to power up your Cisco MC3810 and verify that it goes through its initialization and self-test. When this is finished, the Cisco MC3810 will be ready to configure.
Perform Initial Configuration This section shows how to perform some basic configurations from a local or remote console, using the Cisco command-line interface. For complete configuration procedures, see the Cisco MC3810 Series Multiservice Access Concentrators Software Configuration Guide.
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Step Command Purpose 9 router(config-if)# no shutdown Activate the Ethernet port. Messages similar to the following appear: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Ethernet0, changed state to up %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Ethernet0, changed state to up router(config-if)# 10 router(config-if)# exit Return to global configuration mode. 11 router(config)# line vty 0 4 Enter line configuration mode.
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Configuring Basic Settings for Serial Ports 0 and 1 To configure basic settings for serial ports 0 and 1, do the following: 20 Step Command Purpose 1 router> show interface serial Display the default configuration. 2 router> enable Enable the configuration. 3 router# configuration Enter configuration mode. 4 router(config)# network-clock base-rate {56k | 64k} Configure the network clock base rate setting.
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Configuring T1/E1 Controller Settings for T1/E1 Ports There can be two T1/E1 ports in a Cisco MC3810: a trunk port and a digital voice port. The T1/E1 trunk port is physically located in the multiflex trunk module (MFT). It supports balanced T1 per ANSI T1.403, and it supports balanced and unbalanced E1 per ITU G.703. The MFT has a built-in CSU/DSU. The T1/E1 digital voice port is physically located in the digital voice module (DVM).
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Configuring T1 Controller Settings To configure T1 controller settings, do the following in controller configuration mode: 22 Step Command Purpose 1 Configure the cable length setting by doing one of the following: router(config-ctrl)# cablelength short {133 | 266 | 399 | 533 | 655} Configure the cable length if the length is 655 feet or shorter. router(config-ctrl)# cablelength long {gain26 | gain36} {-15db | -22.5db | -7.
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Basic Voice-Port Configuration This section has separate procedures for analog, digital, and ISDN BRI voice ports. Use the analog procedure to configure voice ports on the analog voice module (AVM). Use the digital procedure to configure voice ports on a T1 or E1 line on a digital voice module (DVM) or multiflex trunk module (MFT). Use the BRI procedure to configure voice ports on the BRI voice module (BVM).
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Configuring Analog Voice Ports To configure the basic analog voice-port settings, perform the following tasks: Step Command Purpose 1 router> configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. 2 router(config)# voice-port slot/port Enter voice-port configuration mode, and specify the voice port you want to configure by entering the logical slot number and port number (see table on page 23).
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Step Command Purpose 7 router(config-voiceport)# cptone country Configure the voice port for the local territory’s call progress tone setting. The call progress tone setting determines the settings for dialtone, busytone, and ringback tone. The default for this command is northamerica. For a list of supported countries, see the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Home Applications Command Reference.
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Step Command Purpose 6 router(config)# voice-port slot/port Enter voice-port configuration mode, and specify the voice port you want to configure by entering the logical slot number and port number (see table on page 23). The following commands affect only the voice port you specify here. 7 router(config-voiceport)# dial-type {pulse | dtmf} Change the transmit dial type if necessary (FXO and E&M ports only). The default is dtmf.
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Verifying Your Analog or Digital Voice-Port Configuration You can test your analog or digital voice-port configuration by doing the following: • Pick up the handset of an attached telephony device and check for dial tone. • If you have dial tone, check for DTMF detection. If the dial tone stops when you dial a digit, the voice port is probably configured properly.
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Configuring ISDN BRI Voice Ports To configure the basic ISDN BRI voice-port settings, perform the following tasks: Step Command Purpose 1 router> configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. 2 router(config)# isdn switch-type basic-qsig Configure the global ISDN switch type as basic-qsig for the BRI voice ports. Note You can configure the ISDN switch type in either global or interface configuration mode.
Perform Initial Configuration (continued) Step Command Purpose 9 router(config-interface bri 1)# isdn overlap-receiving Activate overlap signaling to the destination PBX. 10 router(config-interface bri 1)# isdn network-failure-cause cause code Specify the cause code to pass to the PBX when a call cannot be placed or completed because of internal network failures. Possible values are from 1 to 127.
