CFGID—Version Parameter for Cisco ATA Configuration File

The following list contains general configuration information:

Your configuration file must begin with #txt.

The Cisco ATA uses the following parameter types:

Alphanumeric string

Array of short integers

Boolean (1 or 0)

Bitmap value—unsigned hexadecimal integer (for specifying bits in a 32-bit integer)


Note Bits are numbered from right to left, starting with bit 0.



Note A tool called bitaid.exe is bundled with your Cisco ATA software. You can use this tool to help you configure values of Cisco ATA bitmap parameters. The tool prompts you for the necessary information.


Extended IP address—IP address followed by port number (for example, 192.168.2.170.9001)

IP address (e.g. 192.168.2.170)

Integer (32-bit integer)

Numeric digit string


Note The term Cisco ATA is used throughout this manual to refer to both the Cisco ATA 186 and the Cisco ATA 188, unless differences between the Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 are explicitly stated.



Note This section contains recommended values for the United States and other countries as configuration examples for certain parameters. For detailed recommendations of tone-parameter values by country, see Appendix E, "Recommended Cisco ATA Tone Parameter Values by Country."


Configuration Text File Template

This is a listing of the sip_example.txt text file, without its annotations, that comes bundled with the Cisco ATA software.

You can make a copy of this file and use it as a template for creating your own default configuration file or Cisco ATA-specific configuration file. For instructions on how to create these configuration files, see the "Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files" section on page 3-9.

The sip_example.txt file contains all the Cisco ATA default values. The sections that follow this listing describe all the parameters in this file.

Voice Configuration Menu Access Code

305

Related Parameters

TftpURL

EncryptKey

OpFlags (bits 0 and 3)

TftpURL

Description

Use this parameter to specify the IP address or URL of the TFTP server. This string is needed if the DHCP server does not provide the TFTP server IP address. When the TftpURL parameter is set to a non-zero value, this parameter has priority over the TFTP server IP address supplied by the DHCP server.

Optionally, you can include the path prefix to the TFTP file to download.

For example, if the TFTP server IP address is 192.168.2.170 or www.cisco.com, and the path to download the TFTP file is in /ata186, you can specify the URL as 192.168.2.170/ata186 or www.cisco.com/ata186.


Note From the voice configuration menu, you can only enter the IP address; from the web server, you can enter the actual URL.


Value Type

Alphanumeric string

Range

Maximum number of characters: 31

Default

0

Voice Configuration Menu Access Code

905

Related Parameters

UseTFTP

CfgInterval

CfgInterval

Description

Use this parameter to specify the number of seconds between each configuration update. The Cisco ATA will also upgrade its signaling image if it detects that the TFTP server contains an upgraded image.

For example, when using TFTP for configuration, the Cisco ATA contacts TFTP each time the interval expires to get its configuration file.

You can set CfgInterval to a random value to achieve random contact intervals from the Cisco ATA to the TFTP server.

Value Type

Decimal

Range

60 to 4294967295

Default

3600

Voice Configuration Menu Access Code

80002

EncryptKey

Description

This parameter specifies the encryption key that is used to encrypt the Cisco ATA configuration file on the TFTP server.

The cfgfmt tool, which is used to create a Cisco ATA binary configuration file (see the "Using Encryption With the cfgfmt Tool" section on page 3-12), automatically encrypts the binary file when the EncryptKey parameter has a value other than 0. The cfgfmt tool uses the rc4 encryption algorithm.

If this parameter value is set to 0, the Cisco ATA configuration file on the TFTP server is not encrypted.


Note Cisco recommends using the stronger Cisco ATA encryption method, which requires the use of the EncryptKeyEx parameter. For more information, see the "EncryptKeyEx" section.


For examples on how to upgrade from the EncryptKey parameter to the stronger encryption method that uses the EncryptKeyEx parameter, see the "Examples of Upgrading to Stronger Encryption Key" section on page 3-15.

Value Type

Hexadecimal string

Range

Maximum number of characters: 8

Default

0

Voice Configuration Menu Access Code

320

Related Parameters

UseTFTP

TftpURL

EncryptKeyEx

EncryptKeyEx

Description

This parameter specifies an encryption key that is stronger than the key specified with the EncryptKey parameter. This stronger key is used to encrypt the Cisco ATA configuration file on the TFTP server.


Note Cisco recommends using the EncrpytKeyEx parameter instead of the EncryptKey parameter for the strongest possible encryption of the Cisco ATA configuration file.


When the EncryptKeyEx parameter is set to a non-zero value, the Cisco ATA uses this value as the encryption key and ignores any value that has been set for the EncryptKey parameter. The cfgfmt tool, which is used to create a Cisco ATA binary configuration file (see the "Using Encryption With the cfgfmt Tool" section on page 3-12), automatically encrypts the binary file using the stronger rc4 encryption algorithm.

When EncryptKeyEx is used for encryption, the Cisco ATA searches for the configuration file with the format ata<macaddress>.x. on the TFTP server.

If the value of the EncryptKeyEx parameter is 0, then the Cisco ATA uses the value of the EncryptKey parameter for encryption.


Note The cfgfmt tool (version 2.3) program generate an ata<macaddress>.x file in addition to an ata<macaddress> file if the EncryptKeyEx parameter is specified. You should place both such configuration files on the TFTP server.


For examples on how to upgrade from the EncryptKey parameter to the stronger encryption method that uses the EncryptKeyEx parameter, see the "Examples of Upgrading to Stronger Encryption Key" section on page 3-15.

Value Type

Hexadecimal string of the form:

Rc4PasswdInHex/macinHex_12

rc4KeyInHex_n is a hexadecimal string of one to 64 characters.

/macInHex_12 is the optional extension consisting of a forward slash ( / ) followed by the six-byte MAC address of the Cisco ATA to which the configuration file will be downloaded.

Range

Maximum number of characters: 64

Default

0

GkOrProxy

Description

This parameter is the proxy address or registrar address.

For a SIP proxy server, this can be an IP address with or without a port parameter such as 123.123.110.45, 123.123.110.45.5060, or 123.123.110.45:5061, or a URL such as sip.cisco.com, or sip.ata.cisco.com:5061. For an IP address, a '.' or ':' can be used to delimit a port parameter. For a URL, a ':' must be used to indicate a port.

The default port is port number 5060.


Note If the SIP proxy server and registration server reside on separate hardware, enter the SIP registration server address in this field.


If the hostname specified in GkOrProxy is not an IP address (but is, for example, a domain name), the Cisco ATA performs a DNS A-record query on the domain name. To force the Cisco ATA to perform a DNS SRV query first, you must set ConnectMode parameter bit 29 to a value of 1. (See the "ConnectMode" section.) If the query results in a zero DNS SRV entry, then the Cisco ATA performs a DNS A-record query on the hostname.

If the SRV lookup returns two hosts, they become primary and backup proxies according to their priority (as specified in the DNS SRV RFC), and the hostname specified in the AltGk parameter is ignored.

If the SRV lookup returns only one host, this host is the primary proxy, and the hostname specified in the AltGk parameter is the backup proxy.

Value Type

Alphanumeric string

Range

Maximum number of characters: 31

Default

0—Disables proxy registration and proxy-routed calls.

In this case, you can make direct IP calls by dialing the user-id@IP:port of the callee, where user-id must be a numeric value, '@' is dialed as "**", and '.' and ':' are dialed as a '*'.

The following list shows some examples of direct SIP IP dialing:

1234**192*168*1*10*5060

102*210*9*101*5061

4084281002**100*123*89*10

SipOutBoundProxy

Description

The SIP Outbound Proxy Server is a SIP proxy server which can be different from the Registration Proxy Server (specified in the GkOrProxy parameter) and to which all outgoing SIP requests are sent. Outgoing SIP responses are not affected by this out-bound-proxy and are still sent according to the VIA header and source address of the incoming SIP requests.

If the outgoing SIP request has a ROUTE header, the first route in the header is removed if it resolves to the same IP address as the out-bound-proxy. This process guards against the case when the out-bound-proxy also inserts its IP address into the RECORD-ROUTE header.

The OutBoundProxy parameter can be an IP address with or without a port parameter, such as 123.123.110.45, 123.123.110.45.5060, or 123.123.110.45:5061, or a URL such as sip.cisco.com, sip.ata.cisco.com:5061. For IP addresses, a period (.) or colon (:) can be used to delimit a port parameter. For a URL, a colon (:) must be used to indicate a port. If no port parameter is specified, the port 5060 is assumed.

NatServer

Description

This parameter allows you to specify the server to which dummy, single-byte UDP packets are sent to maintain a NAT translation for a session.

The parameter value can be an IP address with or without a port parameter (such as 123.123.110.45 or 123.123.110.45:5060), or a URL(such as nat.cisco.com or dummy.cisco.com:5061).

Syntax

<IP_address>[<.|:><Port>] | <URL>[:<Port>]

The following syntax rules apply:

For an IP address, a dot (.) or colon (:) can be used to delimit a port parameter.

For a URL, a colon (:) must be used as a delimiter.

If the port parameter is not specified, the default port 5060 is assumed.

A value of 0 indicates that a server is not available.

Value Type

IP address or FQDN format

Range

Maximum number of characters: 47

Default

5060 is the default port if no port is specified.

Bit Number
Definition

0-11

Use these bits to specify the interval in seconds for sending keep-alive packets from the SIP port and RTP port.

Keep-alive packets are sent in the following manner:

The packets are sent constantly for the SIP port once the keep-alive interval is reached.

The packets are sent only during a call for the media ports once the keep-alive interval is reached.

Range: 0 to 2047 seconds

Default: 0 (no keep-alive packets are sent).

12-15

Reserved. These bits must be set to 0.

16-17

Use these bits with one of the following values to specify NAT traversal mode:

0—Send keep-alive packets only

The Cisco ATA sends keep-alive packets only and does not perform any discovery or substitution of the NAT WAN IP address or port in SIP messages.

1—STUN

The Cisco ATA obtains IP address and port mappings from the STUN server specified in the NatServer parameter and substitutes these mappings into SIP messages. The Cisco ATA automatically obtains port mappings, as needed, for the following parameters:

SIPPort

MediaPort

MediaPort + 2

MediaPort + 4

2—NATIP auto-mapping

The Cisco ATA obtains only the IP address mapping from the STUN server specified in the NatServer parameter and substitutes the mapping into SIP messages. With this mode, you must manually map the Cisco ATA port to an external port.

3—Reserved. Do not use this value.

18

Use this bit to set the destination of keep-alive UDP packets that are sent from the SIP port:

0—Keep-alive UDP packets are sent to the server specified in the NatServer parameter. This setting is normally used when only keep-alive packets are sent (see bits 16-17).

1—Keep-alive UDP packets are sent to the server specified in the GkOrProxy parameter. This setting is normally used when STUN mode is selected (see bits 16-17).

MsgRetryLimits

Description

This parameter is a bitmap that allows you to specify the number of times that the Cisco ATA retransmits various SIP requests to the current proxy as well as the number of times that the Cisco ATA sends responses to specific requests from the SIP user agent.

When the Cisco ATA sends a SIP message to the remote SIP user agent, the message does not always reach its destination for various reasons. When this occurs, the Cisco ATA re-sends the same message a specified number of times before timing out.

The number of retries is configurable for the following Cisco ATA SIP requests:

REGISTER

INVITE

BYE

CANCEL

REFER

NOTIFY

The number of retries is also configurable for the following Cisco ATA responses to requests from the SIP user agent:

Cisco ATA responses to an INVITE request

Cisco ATA final responses (200-to-600 class responses) to an OPTIONS request

See Table 5-2 for definitions of each bit.

Examples

SessionTimer: 0x00000001

With this setting, the Cisco ATA accepts requests from the far end for a session timer but never initiates requests for a session timer.

By default, the Cisco ATA will not be the session refresher except if one of the following conditions is true:

If the caller has already specified the Cisco ATA as the refresher in the initial call setup request.

If the party that the Cisco ATA called has specified that the Cisco ATA be the refresher.

SessionTimer: 0x00000003

With this setting, the Cisco ATA is always the requester of a session timer, providing the following condition is true:

Session timing is supported by the far end regardless of whether the far end or the Cisco ATA is the call initiator.

By default, the Cisco ATA will not be the session refresher except if one of the following conditions is true:

If the caller has already specified the Cisco ATA as the refresher in the initial call setup request.

If the party that the Cisco ATA called has specified that the Cisco ATA be the refresher.

SessionTimer: 0x00000005

With this setting, the Cisco ATA only accept requests from the far end for a session timer but never initiates requests for a session timer.

By default, the Cisco ATA will not be the session refresher except if one of the following conditions is true:

The caller has already specified itself to as the session refresher in the initial call setup request.

The party that the Cisco ATA called has specified itself as the session refresher.

SessionTimer: 0x00000007

With this setting, the Cisco ATA is always the requester of a session timer, providing the following condition is true:

Session timing is supported by the far end regardless of whether the far end or the Cisco ATA is the call initiator.

In this mode, the Cisco ATA is designated as the session refresher except if one of the following conditions is true:

The caller has already specified itself as the session refresher in the initial call-setup request.

The party that the Cisco ATA called has specified itself as the session refresher.

0

Set this bit to 1 to enable the SIP session-timer feature.

1

Set this bit to 1 to request that a SIP session timer be in effect on every call if the far endpoint also supports this feature.

2

Use this bit to select the party responsible for initiating session refreshes if the caller has not specified the party.

This field is applicable only when the Cisco ATA is the callee.

Set the bit value as follows:

0—The caller will perform session refreshes.

1—The callee will perform session refreshes.


Note If the caller specifies which party will perform session refreshes (by means of the SIP Session-Expires field of the initial INVITE request), that selection takes precedence over the configured value of this bit.

SessionInterval

Description

Use this parameter to configure the interval, in number of seconds, between SIP session refreshes.

Conditions for Usage

One of the following conditions must exist for this parameter to be used:

The Cisco ATA is the caller requesting the use of a session timer.

In this case, bits 0 and 1 of the SessionTimer parameter must be enabled.

The Cisco ATA is the callee requesting the use of a session timer when none has been requested by the calling side.

The initial SIP INVITE request did not contain a Session-Expires header or a Min-SE header (for minimum session interval); however the INVITE request did include the Supported:timer line to indicate that this feature is supported.

Bits 0 and 1 of the SessionTimer parameter must be enabled.

Related Parameters

SessionTimer

MinSessionInterval

MinSessionInterval

Description

This parameter is used only if the Cisco ATA is the callee and if the caller has requested the use of a session timer. The Cisco ATA then uses this parameter to validate the requested refresh interval.

Use this parameter to configure the minimum required interval, in number of seconds, between session refreshes.

If the Session-Expires value in the INVITE request sent to the Cisco ATA is smaller than the value of the MinSessionInterval parameter, the Cisco ATA will reject the INVITE request and return a 422 Session Interval Too Small message to the caller.

If the Session-Expires value in the received INVITE request is greater than or equal to the Cisco ATA MinSessionInterval, the Cisco ATA will accept this interval by sending a 200 OK message to the caller with the refresh interval listed in the Session-Expires field and the Required:timer line included in the Cisco ATA response.

0/1—Disable/enable SIP to remove previous registrations before adding a new registration.

Default: 0


Note On power up, all registrations are removed. Also, after some soft reboot/resets, only the latest registration is removed.


17—SIP only

0/1—Disable/enable call forwarding performed by the Cisco ATA. In SIP, call forwarding can be performed locally by the Cisco ATA or it can be performed by the SIP proxy. If this bit is disabled, the Cisco ATA forwards the entire dial string, including service activation code, to the SIP proxy for processing.

Default: 1

18—SIP only

0/1—Disable/enable SIP call return performed by the Cisco ATA.

Default: 1

19

0/1—Disable/enable the Cisco ATA to send a ringback tone to the caller.

Default: 0

20—SIP only

0/1—Disable/enable SIP to perform action=proxy in a REGISTER message.

You cannot simultaneously set bits 20 and 21 to 1. Also, if you set both these bits 0, the action parameter is not included in the REGISTER message, forcing the proxy server to perform the next step in the call process.

Default: 0

21—SIP only

0/1—Disable/enable SIP to perform action=redirect in a REGISTER message.

Default: 0

22—SIP only

0/1—Disable/enable SIP to process a received= tag in the VIA header to extract the exernal IP addresses used by the Network Address Translation (NAT) router.

When the Cisco ATA is operating behind a NAT, the NATIP parameter must be set to the external IP address of the NAT router. This allows the correct IP address to be placed in the Contact and SDP headers.

In release 2.14 or later, you may leave the NAT IP address at the default value of "0" or "0.0.0.0" and let the ATA automatically scan the Via header for a "received=" parameter. The parameter, if present, would indicate that the Cisco ATA is operating behind a firewall.

The Cisco ATA proceeds as follows:

1. If the "received=" parameter is in an INVITE response, the current INVITE is canceled and a new INVITE is sent with the new IP address extracted from the "received=<NAT IP address>" parameter in the Contact and SDP headers.

In addition, the Cisco ATA will cancel all previous registrations and re-register with the new IP address in the Contact header. This step is performed only if registration is currently in an idle state.

2. If the "received=" parameter is in a REGISTER response as a result of a REGISTER command, the Cisco ATA will cancel all previous registrations and re-register with the new IP address extracted from the "received=<NAT IP address>" parameter in the Contact header.

Default: 0


Note For the Cisco ATA to automatically detect its presence behind a NAT, the SIP proxy server or remote user agent server must include the "received=" parameter in the Via header in the responses to the Cisco ATA if the proxy detects that the source address and port do not match those in the Via header.


23

0/1—Disable/enable user-configurable setting for call-waiting default.

If this value is 0 (default), the end user cannot configure the permanent default call-waiting setting for every call. Instead, the service provider's default call-waiting setting is used for every call.

If this value is 1, the end-user can configure the permanent default call-waiting setting for every call, thus overriding the value set by the service provider.

Default: 0

24

0/1—Disable/enable the mixing of audio and call waiting tone during a call.

Default: 0

25

0—Both the call-waiting call and active call will be dropped the instant the call-waiting user hangs up the phone.

1—This setting enables the call-waiting hang-up alert feature, which alerts call-waiting users that an active call is still on hold once the user has hung up from another call. The phone will continue to ring until the party on hold has hung up.


Note For the call-waiting hang-up feature to work, the call-waiting call command sequence must be set appropriately. For more information on how to set this sequence, see the "Enabling the Call-Waiting Hang-Up Alert Feature" section on page 4-6.


Default: 0

27

0—The Cisco ATA does not change the user name to Anonymous in the SIP URL of the FROM and CONTACT headers in any INVITE requests even when the display name is sent as Anonymous. Also, the Cisco ATA does not change the user name to Anonymous in the o= line (also called the origin line) of the Session Description Protocol (SDP) header in SIP INVITE requests.

1—The Cisco ATA exhibits the following behavior, provided that the Caller Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) feature is enabled:

The Cisco ATA uses a user name of Anonymous in the following SIP headers and requests:

FROM header

CONTACT header

The o= line of the SDP header in SIP INVITE requests

For more information and example requests showing the usage of the Anonymous user name, see the "Anonymous User Name Support for SIP INVITE Requests" section on page 4-11.

The Diversion header in the INVITE request contains the privacy=[full|off] field, and this field will have the value of full. For more information, see the "Privacy Token Support for SIP Diversion Header" section on page 4-12.

Default: 0

Enabling the CLIR feature

CLIR is enabled in one of two ways:

By setting bit 3 of both the CallFeatures and PaidFeatures parameters to 0. (For the Phone2 port of the Cisco ATA, you would set bit 19 to 0 for each parameter.) For more information on these parameters, see the "CallFeatures" section and the "PaidFeatures" section.

By enabling CLIR on a per-call basis using the call command dial string. For more information, see "Call Commands." If CLIR is enabled in the call command string, this takes precedence over the setting of bits 3 or 19 of the CallFeatures and PaidFeatures parameters.

28

0/1—Disable/enable conference warning-tone setting.

If you set this value to 1, the Cisco ATA, when acting as a conference bridge, sends a three-party-conference warning tone to all parties in the conference call.

Default: 0

Specifications of the Warning Tone:

Cadence: 0.33 seconds in duration; played every 15 seconds

Duration: The full duration of the conference call

Frequency: 1400 Hz

Level: -33 dBm to -53 dBm

29

0—The Cisco ATA performs only a DNS A-record query on the domain name.

Tone Configuration Parameters

The Cisco ATA supports the following tone parameters:

DialTone

BusyTone

ReorderTone

RingBackTone

CallWaitTone

AlertTone

SITone

The Cisco ATA supports two types of tone-parameter syntax—basic format and extended format. Basic format is used in most countries; use the extended format only if the country in which the Cisco ATA is used requires this format.

This section covers all the call-progress tones that the Cisco ATA supports, and contains the following topics:

Tone Parameter Syntax—Basic Format

Tone Parameter Syntax—Extended Formats

Recommended Values

Specific Tone Parameter Information

This section also covers the following parameter, which is for configuring phone-ringing characteristics:

RingOnOffTime


Note For detailed recommendations of tone-parameter values by country, see Appendix E, "Recommended Cisco ATA Tone Parameter Values by Country."


Tone Parameter Syntax—Basic Format

Each tone is specified by nine integers, as follows:

parametername: NumOfFreqs,Tfreq1,Tfreq2,Tamp1,Tamp2,Steady,OnTime,OffTime, TotalToneTime

parametername is the name of the tone.

NumOfFreqs is the number of frequency components (0, 1 or 2).

Tfreq1 and Tfreq2 are the transformed frequencies of the first and second frequencies, respectively. Their values are calculated with the following formula:

32767 * cos (2*pi*F/8000)

where F is the desired frequency in Hz. Set this value to 0 if the frequency does not exist.

The range of each value is -32768 to 32767.

For negative values, use the 16-bit 2's complement value. For example, enter -1 as 65535 or as 0xffff.

Tamp1 and Tamp2 are the transformed amplitudes of the first and second frequencies, respectively. Their values are calculated with the following formulas:

32767 * A * sin(2*pi*F/8000)

A (amplitude factor) = 0.5 * 10^((k+10-(n-1)*3)/20)

where F is the desired frequency in Hz, k is the desired volume in dBm, and n is the number of frequencies. The ^ symbol means to the order of.

Steady controls whether the tone is constant or intermittent. A value of 1 indicates a steady tone and causes the Cisco ATA to ignore the on-time and off-time parameters. A value of 0 indicates an on/off tone pattern and causes the Cisco ATA to use the on-time and off-time parameters.

OnTime controls the length of time the tone is played in milliseconds (ms).

Specify each value as a number of samples with a sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value is 0 to 0xffff. For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set the value to 2400.

OffTime controls the length of time between audible tones in milliseconds (ms).

Specify each value as a number of samples with a sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value is 0 to 0xffff. For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set the value to 2400.

TotalToneTime controls the length of time the tone is played. If this value is set to 0, the tone will play until another call event stops the tone. For DialTone, DialTone2, BusyTone, ReorderTone, and RingBackTone, the configurable value is the number of 10 ms (100 = 1 second) units.

For the remaining tones, the configurable value is the number of samples with a sampling rate of 8 kHz.


Note All tones are persistent (until the Cisco ATA changes state) except for the call-waiting tone and the confirm tone. The call-waiting tone, however, repeats automatically once every 10 seconds while the call-waiting condition exists.


Tone Parameter Syntax—Extended Formats

Two types of extended format exist for the Cisco ATA tone parameters:

Extended Format A—This format can be used for the following tone parameters:

DialTone

BusyTone

RingbackTone

CallWaitTone

AlertTone

Extended Format B—This format can be used for the following tone parameters:

ReorderTone

SITone

Extended Format A

Each tone is specified by 11 integers, as follows:

parametername:NumOfFreqs,Tfreq1,Tamp1,Tfreq2,Tamp2,NumOfOnOffPairs,OnTime1, OffTime1,OnTime2,OffTime2,TotalToneTime

parametername is the name of the tone.

NumOfFreqs = 100 + the number of frequencies in the tone. (Therefore, NumOfFreqs = 101 for one frequency, and 102 for two frequencies.)

Tfreq1 and Tfreq2 are the transformed frequencies of the first and second frequencies, respectively. Their values are calculated with the following formula:

32767 * cos (2*pi*F/8000)

where F is the desired frequency in Hz. Set this value to 0 if the frequency does not exist.

The range of each value is -32768 to 32767.

For negative values, use the 16-bit 2's complement value. For example, enter -1 as 65535 or as 0xffff.

Tamp1 and Tamp2 are the transformed amplitudes of the first and second frequencies, respectively. Their values are calculated with the following formula:

32767 * A * sin(2*pi*F/8000)

A (amplitude factor) = 0.5 * 10^((k+10-(n-1)*3)/20)

where F is the desired frequency in Hz, k is the desired volume in dBm, and n is the number of frequencies. The ^ symbol means to the order of.

NumOfOnOffPairs is the number of on-off pairs in the cadence of the tone.

Valid values are 0, 1 and 2. Use 0 if the tone is steady.

OnTime1 and OnTime2 values are the lengths of time the tone is played for the first and second on-off pairs of a cadence, respectively. (See Figure 5-1 for a graphical representation.)

Specify each value as a number of samples with a sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value is 0 to 0xffff. For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set the value to 2400.

OffTime1 and OffTime2 values are the lengths of time that silence is played for the first and second on-off pairs of a cadence, respectively. (See Figure 5-1 for a graphical representation.)

Specify each value as a number of samples with a sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value is 0 to 0xffff. For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set the value to 2400.

Figure 5-1 Cadence With Two On-Off Pairs

TotalToneTime controls the length of time the tone is played. If this value is set to 0, the tone will play until another call event stops the tone. For DialTone, DialTone2, BusyTone, ReorderTone, and RingBackTone, the configurable value is the number of 10 ms (100 = 1 second) units.

For the remaining tones, the configurable value is the number of samples with a sampling rate of 8 kHz.


Note All tones are persistent (until the Cisco ATA changes state) except for the call-waiting tone and the confirm tone. The call-waiting tone, however, repeats automatically once every 10 seconds while the call-waiting condition exists.


Extended Format B

The ReorderTone parameter specifies the tone that the Cisco ATA plays when the called number is not available or the external circuit is busy. The SItone parameter specifies the special-information tone that the Cisco ATA plays when the called party is not found on the network. These tones can consist of:

Up to three frequencies played simultaneously and a cadence of up to three on-off pairs. The first on-off pair can repeat multiple times before the second on-off pair plays.

For example, a 400 Hz frequency plays four times for 0.75 second followed by 0.1 second of silence after each play and then plays one time for 0.75 second followed by 0.4 second of silence. This pattern can be set to repeat until another call event stops the pattern.

Up to three frequencies played sequentially with a cadence of up to three on-off pairs

For example, the frequencies 900 Hz, 1400 Hz, and 1800 Hz play sequentially for 0.33 seconds each with no silence after the first and second frequencies but one second of silence after the third frequency.

The syntax for Extended Format B is specified by 17 integers, as follows:

parameter:Sequential,NumOfFreqs,TFreq1,Tamp1,TFreq2, Tamp2,TFreq3,Tamp3,NumOfOnOffPairs,OnTime1,OffTime1, OnTime2,OffTime2,OnTime3,OffTime3,NumOfRepeats,TotalToneTime

where:

parameter is either ReorderTone or SITone.

Sequential specifies whether multiple frequencies in a tone play simultaneously (100) or sequentially (101). Set to 100 for a tone with one frequency. If Sequential is 101, the number of frequencies (NumOfFreqs) has to be the same value as the number of on-off pairs in a cadence (NumOfOnOffPairs).

NumOfFreqs is the number of frequencies in the tone (1, 2, or 3). The frequencies can play simultaneously or sequentially, depending on the Sequential setting.

TFreq1, TFreq2, and TFreq3 are the transformed frequencies of the first, second, and third frequencies, respectively. Calculate each value with the following formula:

32767 * cos (2 * pi * F/8000)

where F is the desired frequency in Hz. Set this value to 0 if the frequency does not exist.

The range of each value is -32768 to 32767.

For negative values, use the 16-bit 2's complement value. For example, enter -1 as 65535 or as 0xffff.

Tamp1, Tamp2 and Tamp3 are the transformed amplitudes of the first, second and third frequencies, respectively. Their values are calculated with the following formula:

32767 * A * sin(2*pi*F/8000)

A (amplitude factor) = 0.5 * 10^((k+10-(n-1)*3)/20)

where F is the desired frequency in Hz, k is the desired volume in dBm, and n is the number of frequencies (If Sequential is set to 101, n is equal to 1). The ^ symbol means to the order of.

NumOfOnOffPairs is the number of on-off pairs in the cadences of the tone (0, 1, 2, or 3). For a steady tone, use 0.

If this value is 0, the OnTime1, OnTime2, OnTime 3, OffTime1, OffTime2, and OffTime3 values must also be 0.

OnTime1, OnTime2, and OnTime3 are the lengths of time that the first, second, and third on-off pairs of a cadence play a sound, respectively. (See Figure 5-2 for a graphical representation.)

Specify each value as a number of samples with the sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value is 0 to 0xffff.

For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set a value to 2400.

OffTime1, OffTime2, and OffTime3 are the lengths of silence after the sound of the first, second, and third on-off pairs of a cadence, respectively.

Specify each value as a number of samples with the sampling rate of 8 kHz. The range of each value is 0 to 0xffff.

For example, for a length of 0.3 seconds, set a value to 2400. (See Figure 5-2 for a graphical representation.)

Figure 5-2 Cadence with Three On-Off Pairs

NumOfRepeats is the number of times that the first on-off pair of the cadence (specified by OnTime1, OffTime1) repeats before the second on-off pair (specified by OnTime2, OffTime2) plays.

For example, if NumOfRepeats is 2, the first on-off pair will play three times (it will play once and then repeat two times), then the second on-off pair will play.

TotalToneTime is the total length of time that the tone plays. If this value is 0, the tone will play until another call event stops the tone.

This value is in 10 ms units (100 ms = 1 second).

Two examples of Extended Format B, both using the Reorder tone, follow.

ReorderTone Parameter Example1

Assume that you want a reorder tone in which:

The frequencies 900 Hz, 1400 Hz, and 1800 Hz play sequentially.

Each frequency plays once for 0.33 seconds.

There is no silence after the first and the second frequencies.

There is 1 second of silence after the third frequency (before the first frequency starts again)

The volume of each frequency is -19 dBm.

The tone plays until another call event stops the tone.

For this reorder tone, make the following setting. See Table 5-10 for a detailed explanation.

ReorderTone:101,3,24917,3405,14876,4671,5126,5178,3,2640,0,2640,0, 2640,8000,0,0

The frequency plays six times, each time for 0.1 second followed by 0.9 second of silence.

The frequency then plays once for 0.3 second followed by 0.7 second of silence.

The volume of the frequency is -19 dBm.

The tone plays until another call event stops the tone.

For this reorder tone, make the following setting. See Table 5-11 for a detailed explanation.

ReorderTone:100,1,31164,1620,0,0,0,0,2,800,7200,2400,5600, 0,0,5,0

DialPlan

Description

The programmable dial plan is designed for the service provider to customize the behavior of the Cisco ATA for collecting and sending dialed digits. The dial plan allows the Cisco ATA user to specify the events that trigger the sending of dialed digits. These events include the following:

The termination character has been entered.

The specified dial string pattern has been accumulated.

The specified number of dialed digits has been accumulated.

The specified inter-digit timer has expired.

Value Type

Alphanumeric string

Range

Maximum number of characters is 199.


Note If the dial plan exceeds 199 characters, use the DialPlanEx parameter instead of the DialPlan parameter. For more information, see the "DialPlanEx" section.


Default

Additional DialPlan Information

The DialPlan section contains the following additional topics that describe commands and rules for creating your own dial plan, and includes many examples:

Dial Plan Commands

Dial Plan Rules

Dial Plan Examples

Dial Plan Commands

The following list contains commands that can be used to create you own dial plans:

. —Wildcard, match any digit entered.

- —Additional digits can be entered. This command can be used only at the end of a dial plan rule (for example, 1408t5- is legal usage of the - command, but 1408t5-3... is illegal).

[ ]—Range, which means to match any single digit in the list. Use an underscore ( _ ) to indicate a range of digits. For example, [135] matches the digits 1, 3, and 5. Also, [1_5] matches the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The pound key (#) and asterisk (*) are not allowed in the Range command. Also, the Repeat (rn) command does not apply to range, and range cannot include the Subrule matching command.

(subrule0| subrule1| ...|subruleN)—Subrule matching. Using the ( ) and | operators allows you to specify multiple subrules within a dial plan rule so that a subrule match is reached if the entered digits fit one of the subrules. This can be used to reduce the length of the desired dial plan rule by concatenating the group of the subrules with the common rule.

For example, a dial plan rule of (1900|1800|17..)555.r3 or three dial plan rules of 1900555.r3|1800555.r3|17..555.r3 are equivalent. A match is reached if 11 digits are entered and the first three digits are either 1900, 1800, or 17..., and the fifth, sixth, and seventh digits are all 5.

>#—Defines the # character as a termination character. When the termination character is entered, the dial string is automatically sent. The termination character can be entered only after at least one user-entered digit matches a dial plan rule. Alternatively, the command >* can be used to define * as the termination character.

tn— Defines the timeout value n, in the unit of seconds, for the interdigit timer. Valid values are 0-9 and a-z, where a-z indicates a range of 10 to 35.

rn—Repeat the last pattern n times, where n is 0-9 or a-z. The values a-z indicate a range of 10 to 26. Use the repeat modifier to specify more rules in less space.


Note The commands ># and tn are modifiers, not patterns, and are ignored by the rn command.


|—Used to separate multiple dial plan rules.

^—Logical not. Match any character except the character immediately following the ^ command. The ^ command can also be used as a negation instruction before the range or subrule matching commands.

S—Seize rule matching. If a dial plan rule matches the sequence of digits entered by the user to this point, and the modifier S is the next command in the dial plan rule, all other rules are negated for the remainder of the call (for example, a dial plan beginning with *S will be the only one in effect if the user first enters the * key).


Note All rules apply in the order listed (whichever rule is completely matched first will immediately send the dial string).



Note No syntax check is performed by the actual implementation. The administrator has the responsibility of making sure that the dial plan is syntactically valid.


Dial Plan Rules

The Cisco ATA supports the following dial plan rules:

(In Rule) for Dial Plan Blocking

`H' Rule to Support Hot/Warm Line

`P' Rule to Support Dial Prefix

`B' Rule for Base Number

`R' Rule for Enhanced Prefix

`C' Rule for Call Blocking

`F' Rule for Call Forwarding Blocking

`X' Rule for Call Blocking and Call Forwarding Blocking

`D' Rule for Displaying Caller ID

(In Rule) for Dial Plan Blocking

Dial plan blocking can be used to reduce the occurrences of invalid dialed digits being sent and can prevent the dialed string of a specified pattern from being sent. By adding dial plan blocking, dialed digits are discarded after the interdigit timer expires unless one of the specified matching rules is met.

In addition, the default nine-second global interdigit timeout value is also modified with the value specified in the dial plan blocking command:

Syntax

In

where n specifies the global interdigit timeout and the valid values are 1-9 and a-z (10-35).

Example

Ic| 911

This command specifies an interdigit timeout of 12 seconds, and will discard dialed digits unless 911 is entered.

Specifying your own interdigit timeout also changes the behavior of the dial plan so that the entire dial string, rather than being sent at timeout, is sent only as a result of a matching rule or time intended by a matching rule.

`H' Rule to Support Hot/Warm Line

Hotline/Warmline, also known as Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR), is a line used for priority telephone service. If the Hotline feature is configured, the Cisco ATA immediately dials a pre-configured number as soon as the handset goes off hook. If the Warmline feature is configured, the Cisco ATA dials a pre-configured number if no digits were entered before the specified timer value expired when the handset went offhook.

Syntax

Hdnnnn

where d is a delay-in-seconds parameter 0-9,a-z (to support 0 to 35 seconds delay), and nnnn is the variable-length phone number to call when no digits are entered for d seconds after offhook.

Example 1

H05551212

This is a hotline configuration; the Cisco ATA immediately dials 555-1212 when the handset goes off hook.

Example 2

H55551212

This is a warmline configuration; the Cisco ATA waits for five seconds and dials 555-1212 if no digits were entered when the handset went off hook.

`P' Rule to Support Dial Prefix

This rule is for automatic pre-pending the dial string as entered by the user with a specified prefix.

Syntax

Ptnnnn

where t is a single leading trigger character; if t is the first entered digit when making a new call, it triggers the prepending of a variable-length prefix (as specified by nnnn) in the dial string. The t character can take one of the following values:

0-9,*,#, 'n' (= any of 1-9), 'N' (any of 'n' and 0), 'a' (any of 'n',* and #), or 'A' (any of 'a' and 0);

Example

Pn12345

This rule prepends 12345 to the dial string when the first entered digit is any of 1-9. The triggered digit is not removed from the dial string.

`B' Rule for Base Number

A base number the first part of a phone number that the Cisco ATA dials when Rule `B' is used in a dial plan. The telephone number that the Cisco ATA calls consists of the base number followed by a two-digit extension.

Rule `B' is used for voice prompt confirmation for the call-waiting and call-forwarding features. For more information, see the "Voice Prompt Confirmation for Call Waiting and Call Forwarding" section on page 4-20.

To set a base number, use `B' followed by the desired base number. For example, if the desired base number is 1234, you would add the rule `B1234' to your dial plan.

Syntax

Bnnnn

where nnnn is the base number.

Example

If the administrator has configured a base number of 1234 and call forward on busy (extension 03) is enabled, the called number is 123403.

`R' Rule for Enhanced Prefix

This enhanced prefix rule matches entire strings, whereas the `P' rules matches only a single digit. The `R' rule is for automaticly prepending a specified prefix to the dialed string. The string must be an exact match to trigger the rule. If more than one `R' rule matches, the first matched `R' rule is triggered.

The `R' rule also uses negation to exclude one or more leading digits before prepending the defined prefix string.

The number of dashes (-) after the R represents the number of leading digits that will be removed preceding the prefix.

Syntax

Rnnnn(tttt)

where tttt is a trigger string. If the dialed numbers match this string, this match triggers the prepending of a variable-length prefix (as specified by nnnn) to the dial string. The triggered string is not removed from the dial string. The negation, subrule matching and range patterns can be applied to the trigger strings.

Example 1

R1212([2_9]-)

This rule prepends 1212 to dial strings that have a leading digit of 2 to 9.


Note Note: `R' rules can replace most `P' rules; for example, Pn12345 is the same as R12345([1_9]-).


Example 2

R-0033(0[1-9].r7)

This removes the first dialed digit, then prepends 0033 to the dialed string. For example, if the number 0148336134 is dialed, the resulting string becomes 0033148336134.

Example 3

R----0(0033[1-9].r7)

This removes the first four dialed digits, then prepends 0 to the dialed string. For example, if the number 0033148336134 is dialed, the resulting string becomes 0148336134.

Log Information

The Call Prefix <prefix>+<num> is shown in the prserv log.

`C' Rule for Call Blocking

This rule is for blocking call numbers.

Syntax

Cnnnn

where nnnn is the leading set of digits of the blocked call number; nnnn can be composed with subrule matching and range. The rule is triggered when the leading digits of a dialed string match the string nnnn.

The `C' rule does not work with negation.

Example:

C1900|C1888 or C(1900|1888)

This rule blocks call numbers beginning with 1900 or 1888.

Log Information

The Call Block <num> is shown in the prserv log, and a busy tone is being played.

`F' Rule for Call Forwarding Blocking

This rule is for blocking call forwarding numbers.

Syntax

Fnnnn

where nnnn is the leading set of digits of the blocked call forwarding number; nnnn can be composed with subrule matching and range. The rule is triggered when the leading digits of a dialed forwarding number match the string nnnn. The `F' rule does not work with negation.

Example:

F1900|F1888 or F(1900|1888)

These rules block call forwarding numbers beginning with 1900 or 1888.

Log Information

The CFWD Block:<num> is shown in the prserv log, and a busy tone is being played.

`X' Rule for Call Blocking and Call Forwarding Blocking

This rule is for blocking call numbers and call forwarding numbers.

Syntax

Xnnnn

where nnnn is the leading set of digits of the blocked call number and blocked call forwarding number; nnnn can be composed with subrule matching and range. The rule is triggered when the leading set of digits of a dialed call number or forwarding number match the string nnnn. The `F' rule does not work with negation.

Example

X1900|X1888 or X(1900|1888)

This rule blocks the call numbers and call forwarding numbers beginning with 1900 or 1888.

`D' Rule for Displaying Caller ID

This rule is for displaying caller ID at the remote site. The number must be an exact match to trigger the rule.

Syntax

Dnnnn

where nnnn is the callee number. The caller ID will show to the callee; nnnn automatically becomes a valid calling number. Also, nnnn can be composed with negation, subrule matching and range. The `D' rule is checked before the `R' and `P' rules.

Example

D911

This rule shows the caller ID at the remote side when if the call number is 911.

Log Information

SCC Cmd[]:CLIP or CLIP:<num> are shown in the prserv log.

Dial Plan Examples

This section contains three dial plan examples that use many different rules and commands.

Dial Plan Example 1 (Default Dial Plan)

The following dial plan:

*St4-|#St4-|911|1>#t8.r9t2-|0>#t811.rat4-|^1t4>#.-

consists of the following rules:

*St4-—If the first digit entered is *, all other dial plan rules are voided. Additional digits can be entered after the initial * digit, and the timeout before automatic dial string send is four seconds.

#St4—Same as above, except with # as the initial digit entered.

911—If the dial string 911 is entered, send it immediately.

1>#t8.r9t2—If the first digit entered is 1, the timeout before automatic send is eight seconds. The terminating character # can be entered at any time to manually send the dial string. After the 11th digit is entered, the timeout before an automatic send changes to two seconds. The user can enter more digits until the dial string is sent by the timeout or by the user entering the # character.

0>#t811.rat4—If the first digit entered is 0, the timeout before automatic send is eight seconds, and the terminating character # can be entered at any time to manually send the dial string. If the first three digits entered are 011, then, after an additional 11 digits are entered, the timeout before an automatic send changes to four seconds. The user can enter more digits until the dial string is sent by the timeout or by the user entering the # character.

^1t4>#.—If the first digit entered is anything other than 1, the timeout before an automatic send is four seconds. The terminating character # can be entered at any time to manually send the dial string. The user can enter more digits until the dial string is sent by the timeout or by the user entering the # character.

Dial Plan Example 2

The following dial plans:

.t7>#......t4-|911|1t7>#..........t1-|0t4>#.t7-

or
.t7>#r6t4-|911|1t7>#.r9t1-|0t4>#.t7-

consist of the following rules:

.t7>#r6t4-—You must enter at least one digit. After the first digit is entered and matched by the dial plan, the timeout before an automatic send is seven seconds, and the terminating character # can be entered at any time to manually send the dial string. After seven digits are entered, the timeout before an automatic send changes to two seconds. The - symbol at the end of the rule allows further digits to be entered until the dial string is sent by the timeout or the user entering the # character.

911—If the dial string 911 is entered, send this string immediately.

1t7>#.r9t1—If the first digit entered is 1, the timeout before an automatic send is seven seconds, and the terminating character # can be entered at any time to manually send the dial string. After the 11th digit is entered, the timeout before an automatic send changes to one second. The user can enter more digits until the dial string is sent by the timeout or by the user entering the # character.

0t4>#.t7—If the first digit entered is 0, the timeout before an automatic send is four seconds, and the terminating character # can be entered at any time to manually send the dial string. After the second digit is entered, the timeout before an automatic send changes to seven seconds. The user can enter more digits until the dial string is sent by the timeout or by the user entering the # character.

Dial Plan Example 3

The following dial plan:

R1408([2_9].r5|[2_9].r6)|R9^(911|.r4)|X(1900|1888)|F011

consists of the following rules:

R1408([2_9].r5|[2_9].r6)—The prefix 1408 will be added to any call numbers with seven or eight digits where the leading digit is in the range of 2 to 9. For example, 5551234 will become 14085551234, but 555123 does not match this rule.

R9^(911|.r4)— The prefix 9 will added to any numbers except 911 and five-digit numbers. For example, 911 will still be 911, and 51234 will still be 51234.

X(1900|1888)— There will be no calls or call forwarding to numbers beginning with 1900 or 1888.

F011—There will be no call forwarding to numbers beginning with 011.

In Dial Plan Example 3, there are two `R' rules, so the first matched rule is triggered. Therefore, 5551234 becomes 14085551234. However, 555123 will then become 9555123 because it matches the second rule.

DialPlanEx

If your dial plan exceeds 199 characters, then use must use the DialPlanEx parameter to configure your dial plans. The DialPlanEx parameter supports dial plans up to 499 characters in length. This range in the number of characters is the only difference between the DialPlanEx and DialPlan parameters. Therefore, all the information about the DialPlan parameter applies to the DialPlanEx parameter. For more information, see the "DialPlan" section.


Note If you are not using this parameter for dial plan configuration, be sure this parameter is set to 0.


IPDialPlan

Description

This Iparameter allows for detection of IP-like destination address in DialPlan. Three values are valid:

0—String is dialed as is and not treated as an IP address.

1—When the Cisco ATA detects two asterisks (**), IPDialPlan takes over. The user enters the pound (#) key to terminate the digit collection, and the interdigit timeout default is not used.

2—When IPDialPlan is set to 2, three asterisks (***) are required for IPDialPlan to take effect.

All other values are currently undefined.
