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 h323_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 h323_example.txt file contains all the Cisco ATA default values. The sections that follow this listing describe all the parameters in this file.

Related Parameters

TftpURL

EncryptKey

EncryptKeyEx

OpFlags—bits 0 and 3

CfgInterval

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

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

Related Parameters

UseTFTP

TftpURL

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.

FeatureTimer

Description

This parameter provides configurable timing values for various telephone features, as described below:

Bits 1-15—Reserved.

Bits 16-18—Configurable call waiting ring timeout. When a call arrives for a Cisco ATA port that is in use and has call-waiting enabled, the Cisco ATA plays a call-waiting tone. If the incoming call is not answered within a specified period of time, the Cisco ATA can reject the call by returning a "486 Busy" response to the remote user agent.

You can configure FeatureTimer parameter bits 16-18 to specify the ringing period for incoming call-waiting calls.

This feature can be disabled by either using the default value 0 or by setting bits 16-18 to a value greater than the standard timeout for an incoming call as specified in SigTimer parameter bits 14-19. When this feature is disabled, a "480 Temporarily Not Available" response is returned to the remote user agent when the standard ring times out.

Range: 0 - 7

Factor: 10-second increments

Values: 0 to 70 seconds

Default: 0 (never timeout)

Tone Configuration Parameters

The Cisco ATA supports the following tone parameters:

DialTone

BusyTone

ReorderTone

RingBackTone

CallWaitTone

AlertTone

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 only for the ReorderTone parameter.

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. This 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 of the ReorderTone parameter is specified by 17 integers, as follows:

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

where:

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 5-7 for a detailed explanation.

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

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.

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

`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.

`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.

Value Type

Diagnostic Parameters

This section describes the following parameters, which are used for diagnostic purposes:

NPrintf

SyslogIP

SyslogCtrl

NPrintf

Description

Use this parameter to specify the IP address and port of a host to which all Cisco ATA debug messages are sent. The program prserv.exe, which comes bundled with the Cisco ATA software, is needed to capture the debug information.

Syntax

<HOST_IP>,<HOST_PORT>

Example

If the program prserv.exe is running on a host with IP address 192.168.2.170 and listening port 9001, set NPrintf to 192.168.2.170.9001. This causes the Cisco ATA to send all debug traces to that IP address.

Value Type

Extended IP address

Default

0

Voice Configuration Menu Access Code

81

SyslogIP

Description

Use this parameter for diagnostic purposes; specify the IP address and port number to which the Cisco ATA should send its syslog output information.

The program prserv.exe, which is included in all Cisco ATA software upgrade packages, can be used to capture syslog information if you do not have a syslog server.

Syntax

<HOST_IPaddress>.<HOST_PORT>

Example

If you want to send syslog information to the host at IP address 192.168.2.170 and port number 514, do the following:

Configure the value of this parameter as 192.168.2.170.514

On your PC, run the command:

prserv 514

Value Type

Extended IP address

Default

0.0.0.0.514

CFGID—Version Parameter for Cisco ATA Configuration File

Description

CFGID is a 32-bit unsigned-value parameter whose purpose is to allow the local administrator to track the version of the Cisco ATA configuration file. This parameter-value assignment is entirely the responsibility of the local administrator, and has no significance to the operation of the Cisco ATA.

Value Type

Bitmap

Default

0x00000000
