Spaces are used to separate all elements in a command line. Type the command and any necessary argument identifiers and argument values, and then press Enter.
Note
You must press the Enter key at the end of each CLI command line to complete the command.
For example, the Add Endpoint command, addendpt, adds an endpoint to VISM/VISM-PR and has three required arguments. An endpoint defines one end of a connection. The addendpt command format is as follows:
nodename.1.21.VISM8.a > addendpt <endpt_num> <ds1_num> <ds0_num>When you type a command, use argument values to represent the arguments. For example, to add an endpoint with number 10 on DS1 number 4 and DS0 number 3, you would use this command line:
nodename.1.21.VISM8.a > addendpt 10 4 3Some commands require you to type an argument identifier before the argument value. For example, the Clear Alarm command, clralm, requires you to enter an identifier, -ds1, before the argument value. The clralm command format is as follows:
nodename.1.21.VISM8.a > clralm -ds1 <LineNum>To clear alarms on line 4, you would use this command line:
nodename.1.21.VISM8.a > clralm -ds1 4VISM/VISM-PR Command Attributes

Configuring the VISM/VISM-PR Card
You must complete the following configuration tasks when you initially configure your VISM/VISM-PR card.
Allocating Resources
To allocate resources—virtual ports, controller resources, and codec templates—to your VISM/VISM-PR card, complete the following step:.
Step 1
To add a virtual port, enter the addport command (no arguments).
This command adds an ATM port on a VISM/VISM-PR card. This command does not have arguments. When you add the ATM port, the bandwidth, VPI range, and VCI range are determined.
The VPI range is a single VPI value, the slot ID. The added port is not detected by the controller until you create a resource partition (see Step 3).
Step 2
To verify that the port was added successfully, enter the dspport command.
nodename.1.27.VISM8.a > dspportProvisioned BW : 5651320 cpsUsed BW : 0 cpsAvailable BW : 5651320 cpsStep 3
To specify the controller resources, enter the addrscprtn command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > addrscprtn <controller_id>Replace <controller_id> with the following values:
•
1 = PXM1 (PAR)
•
2 = PXM1E/PXM45 (PNNI)
A port supports only one controller at a time.
All resources of a port are associated with the resource partition you specify. When you add a resource partition, the associated controller detects the port as limited by the resource partition.
Step 4
To specify the codec template used with your VISM/VISM-PR card, enter the cnfcodectmpl command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > cnfcodectmpl <template_number>For the VISM card, replace <template_number> with one of the following values listed in Table 5-2.
Step 5
Type a y at the following message:
The card will be reset, do you want to proceed (Yes/No)? yThe card resets and returns the prompt.
Note
Although the prompt indicates that you are accessing the VISM/VISM-PR card, once you type a character or press Enter, the session automatically falls back to the PXM card. Use the cc command to change back to the VISM/VISM-PR card.
Step 6
To display the codec you selected in Step 4, enter the dspvismparam command.

Configuring T1 and E1 Lines
Configuring T1 and E1 Lines
Use the steps in this section to complete the following procedures:
•
Add and configure your eight T1 or E1 line ports on the VISM/VISM-PR back card.
•
If your application requires bulk distribution, add and configure your eight T1 and E1 line ports on the Service Resource Module (SRM) card.
Note
Configure the DS0s on a line after you add and configure the line.
Step 1
To add a line to your VISM/VISM-PR card, enter the addln command with the following argument:
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > addln <line_number>Replace <line_number> with a value in the range 1-8. This example shows line 1 being added.
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > addln 1
Note
A delay of three seconds occurs before the command completes.
Step 2
To provide values for the parameters of the line you added, enter the cnfln command with the following arguments:
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfln <line_number> <line_code> <line_length> <clk_src> <line_type> <loopback_detection> |<circuit_identifier>|
Note
A delay of three seconds occurs before the command completes.
Replace the above arguments with the values listed in Table 5-3. This example shows the recommended E1 parameters.
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfln 1 3 9 2 7 1
Step 3
To configure signaling on the line, enter the cnflnsig command with the following arguments:
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnflnsig <line_number> <signaling_type>Replace <line_number> with the value of the line you added in Step 1.
Replace <signaling_type> with one of the following values:
•
1 = Channel-associated signaling (CAS)
•
2 = Common channel signaling (CCS)
•
3 = No signaling (SS7 or when signaling is not required on the lines)
Note
A delay of three seconds occurs before the command completes.
Step 4
To display the values of the line, enter the dspln command with the line_number (1) argument value.
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > dspln 1The following example shows some of the sample output from the dspln command:

If your system requires bulk distribution, complete the following steps:
Step 1
Log in to the PXM card.
Step 2
To activate a broadband line on the SRM card, enter the upln command.
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > upln <slot.line>Replace the slot argument with the slot number of the SRM card (15 or 31 for a 32-slot chassis; 7 or 14 for a 14-slot chassis).
Replace the line argument with the line number that you want to activate (1, 2, or 3).
Step 3
To link a line on the SRM card to the VISM/VISM-PR card, enter the addlink command.
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > addlink <SrmStartLinkIf> <NumberOfLinks> <TargetIf>Replace the above arguments with the values listed in Table 5-4 for the addlink command.
Enabling and Configuring Echo Cancellation
Complete the following steps to enable and configure echo cancellation (ECAN) on a line-by-line basis:
Step 1
To enable ECAN for a line, enter the cnfecanenable command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > cnfecanenable <lineNum> <ECANEnable>Replace <lineNum> with a value in the range 1-8.
Replace <ECANEnable> with one of the following values:
•
1 = Disable
•
2 = Enable (Default)
Step 2
To set the residual echo control, enter the cnfecanrec command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a >cnfecanrec <lineNum> <residualEchoControl>Replace <lineNum> with the value used in Step 1.
Replace <residualEchoControl> with one of the following values:
Note
The value of 3 is omitted.
•
1 = Cancel only
•
2 = Suppress residual
•
4 = Comfort noise
Note
We recommend that you use Comfort noise.
Step 3
To specify the ECAN algorithm maximum tail length, enter the cnfecantail command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > cnfecantail <lineNum> <maximumTail>Replace <lineNum> with the value used in Step 1.
Replace <maximumTail> with one of the following values:
•
24 ms
•
32 ms (default)
•
48 ms
•
64 ms
•
80 ms
•
96 ms
•

Note
Although the default ECAN tail is 32 ms, we recommend that you use 64 ms.
Step 4
To show the ECAN configurations for line 1, enter the dsplndsp command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > dsplndsp <lineNum>VismLineNum: 1ECANEnable: enableMaximumTail: 64 millisecondsResidualEcho: SuppressResidualVoiceDetection: Enable
Configuring Connection Admission Control
Connection admission control (CAC) is a set of actions that ascertain if a connection request can be accepted or must be rejected.
By default, CAC is enabled.
Use the steps in this section to complete the following procedures:
•
Define CAC parameters.
•
Configure voiceband data policies for fax/modem carrier loss and fax/modem CAC failure events.
Step 1
To enable or disable CAC, enter the cnfcac command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > cnfcac <enableFlag>Replace the <enableFlag> with one of the following values:
•
1 = Disable
•
2 = Enable
Step 2
To ensure that CAC is enabled or disabled, enter the dspvismparam command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > dspvismparamVISM mode: aal2TrunkingVISM features Bit Map: 0x2b2FunctionModuleType: VISM-8T1CAC flag: enableDS0s available: 24Template number: 3Percent of functional DSPs: 100IP address: 11.11.11.1Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248Bearer IP address: 15.15.15.1Bearer Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248RTCP report interval: 5000 msecRTCP receive multiplier: 3RTP receive timer: disableControlPrecedence/Tos: 0x20BearerPrecedence/Tos: 0x40Aal2 muxing status: disableTftp Server Dn TFTPDOMAINAggregate Clipping enableAggregate Svc Bandwidth 0Step 3

nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > cnfcacparams <VAD_duty_cycle> <VAD_Tolerance>Replace each of the above arguments with a value listed in Table 5-5. The following example shows the typical values for VAD duty cycle and VAD tolerance:
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > cnfcacparams 61 100
Step 4
To specify card level default policies for a fax/modem carrier loss and a fax/modem CAC failure, enter the cnfvbdpol command.
Note
This command is not applicable in the AAL1 switching mode.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > cnfvbdpol <sysCarrLossPol> <sysCacRejPol>Replace the above arguments with the values listed in Table 5-6.
Configuring Jitter Mode
You can dejitter the voice payload to improve the quality of the egress voice stream.
Note
If your application uses the AAL2 trunking operation mode, changes to the jitter modes are affected only when you delete the CIDs and re-add the CIDs.We recommend that you use the fixed jitter mode for AAL2 trunking.
Complete the following steps to specify and configure jitter mode:
Step 1
To set the jitter mode, enter the cnfjtrmode command.
nodename.1.28.VISM8.a > cnfjtrmode <jtr_mode>Replace <jtr_mode> with one of the following values:
