New Features in Release 3.2.10

This section describes the following new features included in Release 3.2.10:

• Configurable TDM Companding Law

• Programmable CAS Signaling Bit Mapping

• Preferred Routes

• E1 Trunk Conditioning

• Display All Static Configuration

• Bandwidth Utilization Enhancements

• AIS Propagation Control

Configurable TDM Companding Law

In standard companding law T1 lines support Mu Law, and E1 lines support A-Law.

In Release 3.2.10, VISM-PR supports companding law on the TDM interface. T1 lines support A-Law, and E1 lines support Mu Law.

This feature is typically used when one end has VISM-PR E1 lines connected to the PBX on the TDM side; the other end of the network has VISM-PR T1 lines connected to the PBX on the TDM side. Both the VISM-PR E1 and T1 lines are connected via the ATM cloud using AAL2 channel identifiers (CIDs).

This feature is only supported in trunking mode and is not supported in switching mode.

Configure Companding Law

To configure companding law for a T1 or E1 line, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Log in to the PXM card and cc to the VISM-PR card.

Step 2 Ensure the VISM-PR card is running in AAL2 trunking mode.

Step 3 To configure companding law, enter the cnflncompanding command.

nodename.1.5.VISM8.a > cnflncompanding <line_number> <companding>

Replace <line_number> with a value in the range 1-8.

Replace <companding> with one of the following values:

•1 = U-Law (same as Mu Law)

•2 = A-Law

The following example shows configuring VISM-PR E1 line 1 as Mu-Law.

nodename.1.5.VISM8.a > cnflncompanding 1 1

Step 4 For the companding law change to take effect, reset the VISM-PR card.

Or, you can delete and re-add the CIDs.

Step 5 Verify the companding law you configured by entering the dsplncompanding command.

nodename.1.5.VISM8.a > dsplncompanding <line_number>

Replace <line_number> with the line number you configured companding law in Step 3.

nodename.1.5.VISM8.a > dsplncompanding 1

Programmable CAS Signaling Bit Mapping

International connections include both T1 and E1 trunk interfaces. Channel associated signaling (CAS) bits, ABCD, differ on T1 and E1 interfaces. These CAS bits carry signaling information that describe events, for example off-hook, on-hook, idle, and so forth. Typically, an external device (PBX) is used to map the ABCD signaling bits across the interfaces.

The CAS signaling mapping feature allows you to map the output ABCD bits to input ABCD bits on a signaling channel on the VISM-PR card instead of using a PBX or another external device.

This feature is supported in AAL2 trunking mode.

The VISM-PR stores the CAS signaling mapping information in a table. This table can be downloaded to the transmit and/or receive signaling channel of the endpoint on the TDM line.

Configure CAS Signaling Bit Mapping Templates

To create a CAS signaling table and apply it to the appropriate endpoint, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Log in to the PXM card and cc to the VISM-PR card.

Step 2 Ensure the VISM-PR is running in AAL2 trunking mode.

Step 3 To create a CAS signaling mapping table, enter the addcastranstbl command.

nodename.1.5.VISM8.a > addcastranstbl <table_name> <format> <abcd0> <abcd1> <abcd2> <abcd3> <abcd4> <abcd5> <abcd6> <abcd7> <abcd8> <abcd9> <abcd10> <abcd11> <abcd12> <abcd13> <abcd14> <abcd15>

Replace the above arguments with the values listed in Table 1. The following example shows adding the table, T1andE1trans, with the standard T1 and E1 seize and Idle conversions:

nodename.1.5.VISM8.a > addcastranstbl T1andE1trans 1 9 12 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 10 11 1 13 14 1

Preferred Routes

Note This feature is not supported with PXM1E and PXM45 software Releases 4.x and prior.

In a PNNI network with a large number of SPVCs, the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E and PXM45) can route SPVCs and SPVPs over pre-defined trunk routes in a PNNI group. This capability alleviates the manual rerouting of a large amount of connections.

In Release 3.2.10, you can provision the VISM-PR card to specify a preferred route ID and a preference on how the routing is to be handled in case the preferred route is not available.

This feature is applicable to VISM-PR cards operating in AAL2 trunking or VoIP switching modes.

Preferred route configuration is done on the PXM card. Therefore, only VISM-PR SPVC connections that have master endpoints can be added as preferred routes.

For more information on configuring preferred routes refer to the Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Configuration Guide, Release 5.

Prerequisites

Before configuring your SPVC as a preferred route, complete the following prerequisites:

•Ensure your PXM1E and PXM45 cards are running at least software Release 5.0.

•Install and perform the following initial configurations on your VISM-PR card:

–Operating mode (cnfvismmode)

–Codec template (cnfcodectmpl)

–Port (addport)

–Resource partition (addrscprtn)

Configure Preferred Routes

To configure your VISM-PR card for preferred routes, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Log in to the PXM1E or PXM45 card and cc to the VISM-PR card.

Step 2 Ensure you have completed the initial configurations listed in the Prerequisites section.

Step 3 To add a PVC between the VISM-PR and PXM cards and associate the connection as a preferred route, enter the addcon command with the following arguments:

Note In Release 3.2.10 the existing addcon command has been modified with the <prefrte> and <direct> arguments to support the preferred route feature.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > addcon <localVCI> <preference> <pvc_type> <application> <PCR> <mastership> |<remoteConnId> <nodename.slot.port.vpi.vci>| |serviceType| |scr| |mbs| |prefrte| |direct|

Replace the above arguments with the values listed in Table 3. The following example shows a PVC is added as the master endpoint of a preferred route:

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > addcon 131 1 2 2 50000 1 mgx8850.0.4.120.120 1 150 777 1

E1 Trunk Conditioning

Currently, VISM-PR supports T1 line trunk conditioning to prevent the ATM network alarms from propagating to the TDM side. In Release 3.2.10, line trunk conditioning is supported on the E1 line.

E1 trunk conditioning handles ATM network alarms (CID and PVC alarms) and prevents them from propagating to the TDM side. This feature is applicable in AAL2 trunking mode.

In a trunk conditioning enabled mode (T1 or E1), the DS0 bearer is set to a configurable busy bearer pattern when the ATM network reports any alarms. VISM-PR can mark one or more unusable DS0s to the adjoining TDM switch without putting the whole line into alarm. The busy bearer code is configured by using the cnflntrunkcond command.

The following existing commands, which are used to enable/disable the line trunk conditioning flag, have been modified to specify the bearer alarm busy code:

•cnflntrunkcond

•dspln

cnflntrunkcond

To enable or disable trunk conditioning on a VISM-PR T1 or E1 card line if a network alarm is encountered, use the cnflntrunkcond command. This command has been modified to include the optional bearer code parameter.

cnflntrunkcond <line_number> <trunkCondType> |<bearer_code>|
Syntax Description

line_number

Line number for which you want enable or disable line conditioning. Range is 1-8.

trunkCondType

Line trunk conditioning status. Values are

•1 = Enable. VISM-PR performs trunk conditioning on each affected DS0 if an alarm occurs on the ATM side.

•2 = Disable. VISM-PR sends an alarm indication signal (AIS), blue alarm, or RAI to the line if an alarm occurs on the ATM side.

|bearer_code|

(Optional) Bearer code sent on a bearer channel in remote alarm. Range is 0-255.

•For VISM-PR T1, default is 127.

•For VISM-PR E1, default is 255.

AIS Propagation Control

Currently, VISM/VISM-PR cards support alarm indication signal (AIS) suppression, which prevents the CPE from dropping calls when a network link failure is temporary.

In Release 3.2.10, you can configure the suppression of ATM network alarms for a particular duration. If the ATM network alarms persist beyond this duration, the alarms propagate onto the TDM line and are considered a permanent network failure.

This feature does not affect the AAL2 type 3 packet alarms (transmitted and received per CID), for example, external AIS and RDI and connection AIS and RDI. These alarms are generated when a T1/E1 line fails and are preserved since they allow a T1/E1 alarm to propagate to the remote end.

For more information about AIS suppression configuration, refer to the Alarm Suppression section of the Cisco Voice Interworking Services (VISM) Configuration Guide and Command Reference, Release 3.2.

No new commands are introduced for this feature in Release 3.2.10. The following commands have been modified to support the timing option:

•cnfaissuppression

•dspaissuppression

•dspconcnt

cnfaissuppression

To enable or disable AIS suppression, use the cnfaissuppression command. Use this command also to suppress the alarms for a certain duration before propagating.

cnfaissuppression <enableFlag> |LCN | |delay_time|
Syntax Description

enableFlag

Value that enables or disables AIS suppression.

•1 = Enable

•2 = Disable

|LCN|

Logical channel number (LCN). Range is 131-510. Or, type the ALL keyword.

The value ALL specifies configuration of all LCNs.

|delay_time|

Time that the alarm is suppressed before propagating to the line. Range is 1-60 seconds. Default is 30 seconds.

Note This value is only valid if the enableFlag parameter is 1.

Command Modes

AAL2 trunking

Examples

You can enable AIS suppression and configure the optional delay time for one PVC or all PVCs on a VISM/VISM-PR card.

The following example enables AIS suppression with an AIS delay of 30 seconds on all enabled PVCs:

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfaissuppression 1 ALL 30
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a >

The following example disables AIS suppression on all enabled PVCs:

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfaissuppression 2 ALL
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a >

The following example enables AIS suppression on PVC 131 with an AIS delay of 60 seconds.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfaissuppression 1 131 60
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a >

The following example disables AIS suppression on only PVC 131:

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfaissuppression 2 131
nodename.1.12.VISM8.a >

Use the dspaissuppression command to show the AIS settings you configured.

dspaissuppression

To show the AIS suppression settings of each enabled PVC, use the dspaissuppression command. This command has been modified to include the AIS delay time.

dspaissuppression
Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Modes

AAL2 trunking

Examples

The following example shows the AIS suppression settings for each PVC.

nodename.1.17.VISM8.a > dspaissuppression

ConnId ChanNum AIS Suppression Status AIS Delay Time
------ ------- ---------------------- --------------
nodename.17.1.0.131 131 ENABLED 30
nodename.17.1.0.132 132 ENABLED 30
dspconcnt

To display the counters/statistics and connection state, use the dspconcnt command. This command has been modified to include the AIS successful suppression count for each PVC.

dspconcnt <LCN>
Syntax Description

LCN

Logical channel number for which to display counter configuration data. Range is 131-510.

Command Modes

VoIP switching/VoIP trunking, AAL2 trunking, AAL1 switching, switched AAL2 SVC, switched AAL2 PVC, VoIP and AAL1 SVC, VoIP trunking/AAL2 trunking

Examples

The following example shows the AIS suppression count for PVC 131:

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > dspconcnt 131

ChanNum: 131

Note If the VISM/VISM-PR card is not operating in the AAL2 trunking mode, AIS suppression count is 0. AIS suppression cannot be enabled in the other modes.

Bandwidth Utilization Enhancements

VISM-PR Release 3.2.10 includes the following bandwidth utilization features:

• ATM Bandwidth Reuse for Non-overlapping Traffic

• Dynamic PVC Bandwidth Management

• Channel Current Peak Rates

ATM Bandwidth Reuse for Non-overlapping Traffic

This feature allows you to place an unused PVC out-of-service during nonservice hours and place another PVC in-service during the service window while utilizing the same ATM bandwidth. This feature is applicable to VISM-PR cards in PNNI networks.

When a PVC is placed out-of-service, the PVC does not utilize any bandwidth and does not generate any alarms towards the CPE.

This bandwidth enhancement requirement uses the existing dncon command. The dncon command is now supported on both the master-end and the slave-end of the connections and is also used to disable the OAM end-to-end loopback functionality.

Disabling the OAM end-to-end loopback functionality on both ends of the connection avoids generating alarms to the TDM side. Therefore, you do not see alarms during non-service hours. The row status is not affected for the slave-end connection, and only the connection administrative status is changed to Down.

The existing upcon command is modified for both the master and slave ends. On the master end, the upcon command causes the OAM end-to-end loopback functionality to be re-enabled and places the PVC back in-service. The connection is re-routed if enough bandwidth is present.

On the slave end, the upcon command causes OAM end-to-end loopback functionality to be re-enabled, so the PVC can be monitored for failure.

To place a PVC out-of-service/in-service without causing alarms on the PVC and TDM side, complete the following steps in the order listed below:

Step 1 Log in to the PXM card and cc to the VISM-PR card.

Step 2 Ensure that the VISM-PR card is operating in the AAL2 trunking mode.

Step 3 To take the slave-end of the connection out-of-service, enter the dncon command.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > dncon <LCN>

Replace <LCN> with the slave-end channel number of the connection.

The slave-end stops generating voice packets and also stops OAM end-to-end loopback request cell generation. However, incoming OAM end-to-end loopback request cells are processed, and appropriate OAM end-to-end loopback response cells are generated.

This process ensures that alarms are not generated on the slave-end when you perform Step 4.

Step 4 To take the master-end of the connection out of service, enter the dncon command.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > dncon <LCN>

Replace <LCN> with the master-end channel number of the connection.

The PVC is placed into an administratively down state. This state tears down the PVC, stops checking for OAM end-to-end loopback failures, and stops generating voice packets.

Step 5 To bring an administratively down connection back into service, enter the upcon command on the master-end of the connection.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > upcon <LCN>

Replace <LCN> with the master-end channel number of the connection.

Step 6 To bring the slave-end of the connection back into service, enter the upcon command.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > upcon <LCN>

Replace <LCN> with the slave-end channel number of the connection.

Dynamic PVC Bandwidth Management

In Release 3.2.10, you can dynamically change and manage PVC bandwidth on VISM-PR cards with calls present.

This feature also provides you with configurable administrative states at the CID (or bearer connection) level to manage the operations of used bandwidth. You can take put the PVC into a minimum mode configuration in which just enough bandwidth is used to maintain the signaling link. It is recommended that both sides of the connection be placed in a minimum mode.

The following new commands have been added to support this feature:

•cnfcidis

•cnfcidoos

•cnfconbwtoggle

The following commands have been modified to support this feature:

•dspcid

•dspcon

To configure the administrative states and the bandwidth usage on the PVC, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Log in to the PXM card and cc to the VISM-PR card.

Step 2 Ensure that the VISM-PR card is operating in the AAL2 trunking mode.

Step 3 To configure a CID as in-service, use the cnfcidis command.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfcidis <LCN> <cid_number> |<maxcid>|

In-service means the CID is enabled and operationally active. To place a CID in-service, enough bandwidth must exist.

Replace the above arguments with the values listed in Table 12. The following example shows CID 100 on LCN 131 is configured for in-service.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfcidis 131 100

Table 12 Parameters for cnfcidis Command

Parameter

Description

LCN

Logical channel number of the connection. Range is 131-510.

cid_number

Number of the CID you want to put in-service. Range is 8-255.

|maxcid|

(Optional) Maximum number of CIDs to configure as in-service in bulk mode.

Step 4 To configure a CID as out-of-service, use the cnfcidoos command.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfcidoos <LCN> <cid_number> |<maxcid>|

An out-of-service state means that the CID(s) are disabled and not operationally active.

Replace the above arguments with the values listed in Table 13. The following example shows CID 8 on LCN 131 is configured for out-of-service.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfcidoos 131 8

(Optional) Maximum number of CIDs to configure as out-of-service in bulk mode.

Step 5 To show the administrative state of the CID, enter the dspcid command.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > dspcid <LCN> <cid_number>

Replace <LCN> with the logical channel number of the CID, in the range 131-510.

Replace <cid_number> with the number of the CID, in the range 8-255.

The following example shows the CID 8 on LCN 131 is in the out-of-service administrative state:

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > dspcid 131 8
LCN number : 131
CID number: 8

Step 6 To change the bandwidth usage either to a minimum usage mode or to the original PVC bandwidth configuration, enter the cnfconbwtoggle command.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > cnfconbwtoggle <LCN> <USER_BW_OPTIONS>

Replace <LCN> with the logical channel number, in the range 131-510.

Replace <USER_BW_OPTIONS> with one of the following bandwidth toggle options:

•1 = BW Revert—Revert back to the original PVC bandwidth configuration.

•2 = BW Minimum—Use the minimum bandwidth for the PVC.

Step 7 To display the current bandwidth values, use the dspcon command.

nodename.1.12.VISM8.a > dspcon <LCN>

Replace <LCN> with the logical channel number, in the range 131-510. The following example shows sample bandwidth values on LCN 131. The original PVC configured bandwidth is being used, shown in the ChanUserPcrNumber field (User BW Off). If the minimum bandwidth is used, the ChanUserPcrNumber field shows User BW Min.

Limitations and Restrictions

The following limitations and restrictions are valid for software Release 3.2.11 for VISM/VISM-PR:

•If you are upgrading the VISM-PR image to Release 3.2.1x or later and the PXM1E or PXM45 image from Release 4.x or earlier to Release 5.x, first upgrade the VISM-PR cards. Then, upgrade the PXM1E or PXM45 cards in the same node.

Do not configure the new VISM features until you have fully upgraded the network. After you upgrade your network to PXM1E or PXM45 Release 5.x or later and VISM-PR to Release 3.2.1x or later, apply the standard upgrade process.

•For the lossless codec, use the cnfcodecjtrdelay command to configure the fixed jitter-delay argument for 20 msec.

•In a PNNI network, upspeeding SVC fax or modem calls requires an increase in bandwidth between the voice codec and the vbd codec. For fax calls to go through, disable policing on the service modules (excluding VISM/VISM-PR).

•Switched AAL2 PVC mode is not recommended as this mode requires a meshed PVC network topology, which does not scale.

•The following commands are not supported:

–cnfmaxconfnum

–dspconferences

–dspmaxconfnum

•GR-303 is not supported for the LAPD commands.

•In AAL2 SVC mode, all active calls on VISMs are dropped upon PXM hard and soft switchover.

•For a list of open issues and mitigations in VISM Release 3.2.11, see "Open Caveats in Release 3.2.11" section.

Upgrade Procedures

This section describes the following upgrade procedures:

• Prerequisites

• VISM/VISM-PR Upgrades with PXM1

• VISM-PR Upgrades with PXM1E and PXM45

• VISM/VISM-PR Downgrade Procedure

• VISM to VISM-PR Hardware Upgrade

VISM/VISM-PR Release 3.2.11 provides a procedure for the graceful upgrade (one in which the existing VISM/VISM-PR configuration is preserved throughout the upgrade procedure) from one of the following releases:

•From VISM 1.5 to VISM 3.2.11

•From VISM 2.1 to VISM 3.2.11

•From VISM 2.2 to VISM 3.2.11

•From VISM 3.1(1) to VISM 3.2.11

•From VISM 3.1.3 to VISM 3.2.11

•From VISM 3.2 to VISM 3.2.11

•From VISM 3.2.10 to VISM 3.2.11

Caution Installing VISM software updates from VISM Release 2.2 with CALEA to VISM Release 3.2.11 without CALEA is not graceful.

Prerequisites

To ensure that the VISM/VISM-PR configuration is preserved throughout the upgrade procedure, complete the prerequisites listed in this section.

•Configure your MGX 8000 Series shelf with at least two VISM cards in a redundant configuration.

For more information on adding redundancy, refer to the add redundancy, addred, command in the following documents:

–Cisco MGX 8230 Multiservice Gateway Command Reference, Release 1.1.3

–Cisco MGX 8250 Multiservice Gateway Command Reference, Release 1.1.3

–Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM45/PXM1E), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880 Command Reference, Release 5

•Ensure that the VISM cards are running at least Release 2.1, and the VISM-PR cards are running at least Release 3.0.

•Download software Release 3.2.11 for VISM/VISM-PR to the MGX 8000 Series shelf.

•If you are using the CALEA feature, ensure that you have the version of VISM/VISM-PR software that supports CALEA.

•Before you upgrade to 3.2.11, delete all domain names that are greater than 32 characters on the VISM/VISM-PR card. See the Check Domain Name Length section. After you complete the upgrade to 3.2.11, add the domain names that are greater than 32 characters.

•Ensure that DSP RAS and fixed timestamp are disabled. See the Disable DSP RAS and Fixed Timestamp section.

In Release 3.2.11, these features are disabled by default. In releases prior to 3.2.11, these features are enabled by default.

Check Domain Name Length

Before you upgrade to 3.2.11, delete all domain names and domain name IPs that are greater than 32 characters on the VISM/VISM-PR card. After the upgrade, re-add the domain names and domain name IPs.

Complete the following steps.

Step 1 Log in to the VISM/VISM-PR card.

Step 2 Display the list of domain names by entering the dspdns command.

nodename.1.11.VISM8.a > dspdns

DomainNumber DomainName ResolutionType
------------ -------------- --------------
1 mga-SOLSYS1CA.234567890987654321234567890123456789.sol.cisco.com internalOnly

3 mga-SOLSYS1CA.234567890987654321234567890123456789.sol.cisco.eom internalOnly

Step 3 For each domain number, count the number of characters in the DomainName field.

If the characters are greater than 32 for each domain number, go to Step 4.

Step 4 Check for the IP addresses associated with the domain names by entering the dspdnallips command.

nodename.1.11.VISM8.a > dspdnallips

ResolutionIndex DomainName IP State Pref
--------------- ------------ ------------ --------- -----
1 mga-SOLSYS1CA.234567890987654321234567890123456789.sol.cisco.com 10.1.3.25 Inactive 1

Step 5 If IP addresses are present, make a note of them in the order that they appear.

Step 6 Since you cannot delete the domain name or domain name IPs if MGCs exist, use the following commands to check for MGCs and delete them if they exist for each domain name:

a. Check for the MGC group protocols by entering the dspmgcgrpprotocols command.

nodename.1.11.VISM8.a > dspmgcgrpprotocols

MgcGrp Prot Qrntn Qrntn Sign Prov RspAck Disc Cancel
Num Num Persist Def OnOff Resp Attr Proc Graceful
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

mgcNumber mgcName
--------- -------
1 mga-SOLSYS1CA.234567890987654321234567890123456789.sol.cisco.co

Step 7 If entries exist for the domain name in Step 6 a. to Step 6 c., delete the MGC entries by entering the following commands as required:

•delmgcgrpprotocol

•delmggrpentry

•delmgc

Step 8 Delete the domain name IP address by entering the deldnip command.

Step 9 Delete the domain name by entering the deldn command.

Step 10 Perform the upgrade using the procedures in the "Upgrade VISM/VISM-PR Firmware with PXM1 Card" section or "Upgrade VISM-PR Firmware with PXM1E and PXM45 Cards" section.

Step 11 After you complete the upgrade, add the domain name entries, IP addresses, and MGCs as previously configured using the following commands:

•adddn

•adddnip

•addmgc

•addmgcgrpentry

•addmgcgrpprotocol

Step 12 To check that you added the entries successfully, use the corresponding display commands from Step 2 to Step 6.

d. put <FW file> POPEYE@SM_1_<slot number of card to upgrade>.FW

quit

Note Do not enter two put commands in the same TFTP session.

Step 5 Proceed to the "Upgrade Boot Code with PXM1 Cards" section to install the download.

Upgrade Boot Code with PXM1 Cards

Complete the following steps to upgrade the new backup boot code when you are using PXM1 cards in in a Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850 chassis:

Note This procedure re-programs the VISM/VISM-PR boot code for previous VISM/VISM-PR cards using the VISM/VISM-PR runtime image version 1.0 to 2.0.

Step 1 Log in to the active PXM1 card (slot 7 or 8 for Cisco MGX 8250 and Cisco MGX 8850 chassis; slot 1 or 2 for Cisco MGX 8230 and Cisco MGX 8830 chassis).

Note VISM/VISM-PR must be in the active state in order to update the VISM/VISM-PR boot code.

Step 2 Execute the PXM1 install command.

nodename.1.27.VISM8.a > install [bt] [sm <slot>] <version>

Caution Do not touch the VISM/VISM-PR card until the status comes back ('Sent xxx bytes in yyy seconds'). Failure to follow this recommendation corrupts the boot code, which cannot be recovered.

When the boot code is being written to PROM, you see comments displayed at the VISM/VISM-PR prompt. This behavior is normal and expected.

Step 3 Type the version command to verify the correct boot code.

Note Step 3 is optional.

Upgrade VISM/VISM-PR Firmware with PXM1 Card

Software Release 3.2.11 is for VISM and VISM-PR cards. Ensure that the VISM and VISM-PR cards have the minimum boot code version of VI8_BT_3.2.00.

The following versions of VISM software Release 3.2.11 are available:

•003.002.011.200—without CALEA

•003.052.011.200—with CALEA

In this procedure the following conditions apply:

•If two VISM or VISM-PR cards are part of a redundancy group, initially the primary card is in the active state, and the secondary card is in the standby state.

•Old-rev refers to the firmware, Release 3.2 and prior.

•New-rev refers to the firmware after the upgrade, Release 3.2.11.

Perform the firmware upgrade on the VISM or VISM-PR cards. Do not remove the VISM cards and replace them with VISM-PR cards at this time.

Step 1 Log in to the active PXM1 card (slot 7 or 8 for Cisco MGX 8250 and Cisco MGX 8850 chassis; slot 1 or 2 for Cisco MGX 8230 and Cisco MGX 8830 chassis).

Step 2 Save the existing configuration as a contingency plan by entering:

nodename.1.8.PXM.a > savesmcnf <SM slot#>

This command saves the existing configuration in the C:CNF directory. This file can be used during the downgrade procedure.

Step 3 To obtain the correct version of VISM/VISM-PR firmware, enter the dspfwrevs command.

nodename.1.8.PXM.a > dspfwrevs
Card Type Date Time Size Version File Name
----------- ------------------- -------- -------------------------------------
VISM-8T1E1 04/26/2004 20:06:04 248688 VI8_BT_3.2.00 sm150.bt

VISM-8T1E1 07/30/2004 08:20:58 4037880 003.002.011.200 sm150_4.fw

Step 4 Execute the PXM install command.

nodename.1.8.PXM.a > install sm <SM slot#> <new-rev>

Replace <SM slot#> with the slot number of the primary VISM or VISM-PR card.

Replace <new-rev > with the version of the new firmware (for example, 003.002.011.200).

Caution Ensure that you perform Step 4. If you do not perform Step 4, the boot code is corrupted and not recoverable.

This command causes the secondary VISM or VISM-PR card to reset and come up in the standby state, running the new-rev firmware. The primary VISM or VISM-PR card is unaffected by this command.

Step 5 Execute the PXM newrev command.

nodename.1.8.PXM.a > newrev sm <SM slot#> <new-rev>

Replace <SM slot#> with the slot number of the primary VISM or VISM-PR card.

Replace <new-rev> with the version of the new firmware.

This command causes the primary VISM or VISM-PR card to reset. The secondary VISM or VISM-PR card becomes active and is running the new-rev firmware.

Step 6 Execute the PXM commit command.

nodename.1.8.PXM.a > commit sm <SM slot#> <new-rev>

Replace <SM slot#> with the slot number of the primary VISM or VISM-PR card.

Replace <new-rev> with the version of the new firmware.

The two VISM or VISM-PR cards are now back to their original condition except that both cards are now running the new-rev firmware.

Step 7 Log in to the active VISM or VISM-PR card and use the display commands (for example, dspendpts, dspcasvar, and so forth) to confirm that the configuration has been preserved through the upgrade process.

Note For more than one primary VISM or VISM-PR card in a redundancy group, ensure that the secondary card is in the standby state and repeat Step 5 and Step 6 for each VISM/VISM-PR card in the redundancy group.

Step 8 Perform the following verifications:

•Make minor modifications to the configuration.

•Check that the changes have been executed correctly.

•Change the configuration back again.

Note If the VISM or VISM-PR card is not part of a redundancy group, complete Step 1 to Step 4.

VISM-PR Upgrades with PXM1E and PXM45

This section describes the procedures for upgrading VISM-PR software when the VISM-PR is used with a PXM1E or PXM45 card.

If you are upgrading the VISM-PR image to Release 3.2.1x or later and the PXM1E or PXM45 image from Release 4.x or earlier to Release 5.x, first upgrade the VISM-PR cards. Then, upgrade the PXM1E or PXM45 cards in the same node.

Do not configure the new VISM features until you have fully upgraded the network. After you upgrade your network to PXM1E or PXM45 Release 5.x or later and VISM-PR to Release 3.2.1x or later, apply the standard upgrade process.

Download VISM-PR Boot Code and Firmware to PXM1E and PXM45

To download the VISM-PR boot code and firmware to the PXM1E or PXM45 card, use FTP.

Step 1 Access the image on the Cisco Web site.

Step 2 To download the image, enter the ftp command.

ftp node-ip

where node-ip is the IP address of the node to which you want to download the image.

Step 3 Enter your user name and password.

Step 4 Enter bin.

Step 5 Access the appropriate directory.

cd C:FW

Step 6 Download the image to your C:FW directory.

a. To download one file at a time, use the put image-version command.

b. To download multiple files at the same time, use the mput <image-version> <image-version> command.

where image-version is the downloaded image from Step 1.

Step 7 To exit the download procedure, enter bye.

Upgrade Boot Code with PXM1E and PXM45 Cards

Complete the following steps to upgrade the new backup boot code when you are using PXM1E or PXM45 cards in your MGX 8000 Series chassis:

Step 1 Complete the steps in the Download VISM-PR Boot Code and Firmware to PXM1E and PXM45.

Step 2 Log in to the PXM1E or PXM45 card.

Step 3 To upgrade the VISM-PR boot, enter the burnboot command.

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > burnboot <slot> <revision>

Replace <slot> with the number of the VISM-PR card that you want to upgrade.

Replace <revision> with the version of the boot code you downloaded from Step 1.

The following example shows the burnboot.

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > burnboot 12 3.2(1.0)

The card in slot 12 will be reset.
burnboot:Do you want to proceed (Yes/No)? yes
For VISM-PR cards without redundancy, the card automatically resets and becomes active with the latest boot code image.

For VISM-PR cards with redundancy, the active card takes approximately 60 seconds to reset as standby. For the original standby card, complete Step 2- Step 3. This card now resets back to standby, and the standby card is now active.

Upgrade VISM-PR Firmware with PXM1E and PXM45 Cards

Ensure that the VISM-PR cards have the minimum boot code version of VI8_BT_3.2.00.

The following versions of VISM-PR software Release 3.2.11 are available:

•003.002.011.200—without CALEA

•003.052.011.200—with CALEA

Perform the firmware upgrade on the VISM-PR cards.

Step 1 Log in to the active PXM1E or PXM45 card.

Step 2 Ensure that the card is in the redundant mode, where the active card is the primary card.

Step 3 To save the existing configuration as a contingency plan, enter the saveallcnf command.

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > saveallcnf

Step 4 To load the new software, enter the loadrev command.

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > loadrev <sm-primary-slot-num> <new-rev>

Replace <sm-primary-slot-num> with the slot number of the VISM-PR card on which you want to install the new software.

Replace <new-rev> with the new firmware version number for the VISM-PR software.

Caution Temporary traffic loss occurs.

Step 5 Ensure that the redundant card is returned to the standby state by executing the dspcds command.

Note You must wait for the redundant card to return to the standby state. If you issue the runrev command too early, an error message is generated. The rev change does not occur.

Step 6 To execute the download, enter the runrev command.

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > runrev <sm-primary-slot-num> <new-rev>

Replace <sm-primary-slot-num> with the slot number of the VISM-PR card on which you want to install the new software.

Replace <new-rev> with the new firmware version number for the VISM-PR software.

Caution Temporary traffic loss occurs.

Step 7 Ensure that the primary slot completes booting and goes into the standby state by executing the dspcds command.

Note You must wait for the primary slot to finish booting and get to standby state. Issuing the commitrev command early might be accepted without an error. However, the active and standby cards might not be swapped back to their original state. For example, the original primary card might be left in standby, and the original redundant card might be left as active.

Step 8 To commit the new download to the VISM-PR card, enter the commitrev command.

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > commitrev <sm-primary-slot-num> <new-rev>

Replace <sm-primary-slot-num> with the slot number of the VISM-PR card on which you want to install the new software.

Replace <new-rev> with the new firmware version number for the VISM-PR software.

The commitrev command switches the primary card from a standby state to an active state and the redundant card from an active state back to a standby state.

Step 9 To verify the card states, execute the dspcds command.

VISM/VISM-PR Downgrade Procedure

Use this procedure to downgrade VISM/VISM-PR software from software Release 3.2.11 to an earlier VISM/VISM-PR release. By following the downgrade procedure described here, the configurations are retained after the downgrade.

Note The configurations that existed with old-rev firmware should have been saved earlier. You cannot downgrade from VISM-PR to VISM.

Complete the following steps to downgrade the VISM/VISM-PR software from software Release 3.2.11 for VISM/VISM-PR to Release 3.1, 3.0, 2.2, 2.1, or 1.5:

Step 1 If the VISM/VISM-PR card is in a redundancy group, remove the redundancy.

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > delred <SM slot#>

Step 2 Download the old-rev firmware onto the MGX shelf.

Step 3 Execute the PXM clrsmcnf command:

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > clrsmcnf <SM slot#>

Replace <SM slot#> with the slot number of the VISM/VISM-PR card to be downgraded.

Wait for the card to become active. The VISM/VISM-PR card resets after you execute this command.

Step 4 Execute the PXM restoresmcnf command:

Caution The restoreallcnf command reconfigures all of the cards in the chassis.

nodename.1.7.PXM.a > restoresmcnf -f <filename> -s <SM slot#>

Replace <filename> with the name of the old configuration file that was saved while the old-rev firmware was running. The file can be found in the C:CNF directory on the MGX shelf.

Replace <SM slot#> with the slot number of the VISM/VISM-PR card to be downgraded.

The VISM/VISM-PR card resets again. The card becomes active, running the old-rev firmware with the old configuration.

Note For PXM1E/PXM45 cards, you cannot restore the configuration for an individual VISM-PR service module. You can save and restore the configuration of all cards in a chassis using the saveallcnf and restoreallcnf commands.

Step 5 Reconfigure the redundancy group, if required.

VISM to VISM-PR Hardware Upgrade

Complete the following steps to upgrade your system from VISM cards to VISM-PR cards.

Caution You must install the redundant (standby) VISM-PR card first. Failure to follow this recommendation results in traffic loss. In addition, do not remove an active VISM card from your chassis. Ensure that you configure an active VISM card to the standby state before you remove it and replace it with a VISM-PR card.

Step 1 Remove the redundant (standby) VISM card from your chassis.

Step 2 Install a VISM-PR card in the slot you removed the VISM card from in Step 1.

Step 3 Administratively configure the VISM-PR card you installed in Step 2 as primary (active).

Step 4 Remove the now redundant VISM card from your chassis.

Step 5 Install a VISM-PR card in the slot you removed the VISM card from in Step 4.

Step 6 Log in to the redundant (secondary) VISM-PR card and execute the dspcd command. Verify that the output from the dspcd command lists the card type under FunctionModuleType as a VISM-PR card. If the card type still indicates the VISM card, execute the resetcd slot-num command from the PXM and repeat the dspcd command to insure that the correct card type is shown.

Step 7 Log in to the active VISM-PR card and execute the dspcd command. Verify that the output from the dspcd command lists the card type under FunctionModuleType as a VISM-PR card. If the card type still indicates the VISM card, execute the resetcd slot-num command from the PXM and repeat the dspcd command to insure that the correct card type is shown.

Step 8 If you do not have other VISM cards in your chassis, you have completed the hardware upgrade procedure; do not proceed to Step 9. If you have more VISM cards in your chassis, proceed to Step 9.

Step 9 Remove a standby VISM card from your chassis.

Step 10 Install a VISM-PR card in the slot you removed the VISM card from in Step 9.

Step 11 Repeat Step 9 and Step 10 to remove any remaining VISM cards in your chassis and replace them with VISM-PR cards.

Step 12 Repeat Step 6 and Step 7 on the remaining VISM-PR cards to insure the correct card type is shown.

Table 23 Open Caveats in VISM/VISM-PR Release 3.2.11

DDTS Issue

Description

CSCec54765

Symptom: VISM regenerates incorrect DTMF on-times in VoIP Trunking mode.

Conditions: When DTMF digits with on-times of less than 50ms are detected on the near-end VISM, they are regenerated with inconsistent on/off times on the far end VISM.

Workaround: Ensure DTMF digits being detected have an on-time value greater than 50-60 ms, preferably greater than 60 ms.

CSCec68687

Symptom: Simultaneous ISDN call drops not clearing all the endpoints on VISM.

Conditions: This problem happens only when all the established calls drop simultaneously which is a rare situation under normal circumstances.

Workaround: Take the gateway out of service and back in service to clear all the ports.

CSCed10672

Symptom: VISM supports 217 AAL2SVC calls on VISM-PR-E1 only.

Conditions: Call attempts beyond 217 active calls are rejected.

Workaround: Configure the Call Agent to setup no more than 217 simultaneous AAL2 SVC calls on a VISM-PR-E1 at any given time.

CSCed59217

Symptom: VISM-PR keeps sending DTMF digits when no digits are pressed.

Conditions: This symptom occurs by randomly pressing the digits on both on-net and off-net phone or pressing the combination of various digits at the same time. The VISM-PR could send out the DTMF payload type 101 packets every 50 ms (similar to retransmission) even though no digits are entered from the TDM side.

Workaround: Clear the problem by pressing another digit in the normal fashion.

CSCee03210

Symptom:T.38 interop fails between VISM and 2421.

Conditions: This problem occurs when running T.38 fax calls between VISM and 2421 or VISM and 3810 IAD, and T.38 packet level redundancy is enabled.

Workaround: Disable T.38 packet level redundancy when making fax calls.

CSCee22756

Symptom: Media Start package—Packet detector works only on the first DSP channel.

Conditions: The first RTP packet detected is not reported through the observed event on some DSP channels when requested by the media start package. Two or more DSP channels that are associated with endpoints will fail.

Workaround: Add approximately 68 endpoints. These endpoints will be associated with the first DSP channel.

For existing configurations, verify the endpoint associated with the first DSP channel before initiating a call with the media start package.

CSCee27874

Symptom: In the AAL2 trunking mode, insufficient bandwidth on one side causes downspeed failure.

Conditions: Configure the PCR on the originating side of the fax call to be very low, so the upspeed fails but fax relay goes through. On the terminating side, have enough bandwidth. Make a fax call. The terminating side fails to downspeed.

Workaround: None.

CSCee32065

Symptom: 911 operator ringback fails on VISM.

Conditions: When making a 911 call through a T1 CAS trunk on VISM, the operator ringback function does not work if the subscriber hangs up first. VISM does not send an offhook signal to the operator after receiving the MGCP resume signal from the call agent.

Workaround: None.

CSCee73314

Symptom: VISM reboots while adding the sesgrp with a 64 character call agent domain name.

Conditions: This problem occurs when the domain name does not exist (not added using adddn command).

Workaround: Add the domain name before adding the sesgrp.

CSCee92429

Symptom: Voice quality issues occur due to AAL2 packet drops.

Conditions: Configure 248 CIDs with G.711a 5 ms with VAD off and subcell muxing enabled from one VISM-PR-E1 to another VISM-PR-E1.

Delete some CIDs on one VISM-PR and re-add. The following errors are seen on other side: AAL2 HEC errors, AAL2 Invalid OSF cells, and Invalid length thus causing voice quality issue.

Workaround:

1. Turn subcell muxing off and/or turn VAD on.

2. Use G.729 or other 10 ms/20 ms codecs.

CSCef32606

Symptom: DSP stops responding to ping after re-download is initiated when DSPs failed.

Conditions: This condition is random. Some DSPs might or might not re-download. This issue happens when you have connections that are associated with the DSPs prior to the failure.

DSP status is not in active state.

Workaround: Reset the card.

CSCef39465

Symptom: HEC Errors and Invalid OSF Cell counters increment on all VISM connections.

Conditions: When the cell rate on one of the VISM connections exceeds the PCR value, HEC Errors and Invalid OSF Cell counters start incrementing on all of the connections of the VISM card.

This problem occurs only in AAL2 trunking mode with sub-cell multiplexing on.

Workaround: Have sufficient PCR values on all of the VISM connections, so the cell rates on any of the connections exceeds the PCR values.

For existing configurations, verify the endpoint associated with the first DSP channel before initiating a call with the media start package.

CSCee33552

Symptom: Fax calls fail when VISM software is upgraded from 2.1.0.0 to 3.2.0.0.

Conditions: Endpoints are added in one go. For an E1 line 31 endpoints are added at one go.

Workaround: Adding endpoints one by one resolves the issue.

CSCee54848

Symptom: This defect has been observed to have the following symptoms:

1. SMS tones are occasionally reported at times when no SMS tones are present. The consequence may be the loss of the voice channel for a few seconds or possibly permanently.

2. Lack of bearer voice path occurs for approximately 10 seconds when a softswitch is performed.

3. Unexpected upspeeds to G.711 codec in one direction from G.729 codec mid-way through a normal voice call results in poor voice quality.

Conditions: These symptoms occur when SMS tone detection is enabled.

Workaround: None.

CSCee58292

Symptom: VISM 3.2.00 and 3.2.10 releases have intermittent COT test failures. An SS7 COT fail message is seen, or NTFY on the COT tone is not seen.

Conditions: The problem occurs on the VISM card only, not on the VISM-PR card.

Workaround: None.

CSCee66023

Symptom: No voice path exists, and the DSP stops responding to ping when running in VoIP mode.

Conditions: Enable timestamp in fixed mode with clear channel codec.

Workaround: Disable timestamp.

CSCee92298

Symptom: By default RAS is enable, and timestamp is enable as shown using the following commands:

•dspds0execdiag

•dspexecdiag

•dsplnexecdiag

•dspcodecjtrdelays

Conditions: The default configuration on RAS is enable, and default timestamp is enable.

Workaround: Use any of the following commands to disable RAS:

•cnfexecdiag

•cnflnexecdiag

•cnfds0execdiag

Use the cnfplayouttimestamp command to disable timestamp.

CSCee92429

Symptom: Voice quality issue due to AAL2 packet errors.

Conditions: Configure 200 CIDs from VISM-PR to VISM-PR in AAL2 trunking mode with subcell muxing enabled. Make sure no packet errors exist. Delete some CIDs and re-add them on one side of the VISM-PR. Then, observe the AAL2 HEC, AAL2 Invalid OSF and Invalid length errors. Also, observe bad voice quality.

Workaround: None.

Table 27 describes the open caveats in VISM/VISM-PR Release 3.2 as of July 2, 2004.

Table 27 Open Caveats in VISM/VISM-PR Release 3.2

DDTS Issue

Description

CSCeb74938

Symptom: End-to-end path verification failures with G.726-40 codec.

Conditions: The G.726-40 40 millisecond packetization period is not functioning.

Workaround: All other packetization periods for this codec and the other G.726 codecs are working correctly.

CSCeb76617

Symptom: Not able to pass VAD test for G.729ab codec (AAL2 trunking application).

Conditions: When the VAD is tested for the G.729ab codec through the VQT box, the test fails.

Workaround: VAD starts when the threshold is below -67 db. In the VQT box, the lowest value that can be set is -60 db. So, VAD cannot be tested using that box.

CSCec01946

Symptom: Low PESQLQ scores on G.729ab codecs.

Conditions: In VoIP and AAL2 trunking applications, G.729ab codec configuration shows lower PESQ scores than G.729a codec configuration.

Workaround: It is recommended that G.729a with generic VAD be utilized in place of G.729ab.

CSCec30727

Symptom: After the upgrading from 3.1.0 to 3.1.2, a couple of DSPs in a VISM-PR E1 card failed.

Conditions: After running load for 4 to 5 days, this problem seems to occur. The only difference between 3.1.0 and 3.1.2 is the POS application and Marconi application which are supported in 3.1.2.

Workaround: Reset the VISM-PR card.

CSCec54765

Symptom: VISM regenerates incorrect DTMF on-times in VoIP trunking mode.

Conditions: When DTMF digits with on-times of less than 50 ms are detected on the near-end VISM, the digits are regenerated with inconsistent on/off times on the far end VISM.

Workaround: Ensure DTMF digits being detected have an on-time value greater than 50-60 ms. The recommendation is greater than 60 ms.

CSCec68687

Symptom: Simultaneous ISDN call drops not clearing all the endpoints on VISM.

Conditions: This problem happens only when all the established calls drops simultaneously which is a rare situation under normal circumstances.

Workaround: Taking the gateway out of service and back in service clears all the ports and makes them available for the new calls.

CSCec79013

Symptom: PXM1 VISM VBR3nrt connections shown in CWM as VBR1nrt.

Conditions: PXM1 VISM VBR3nrt connections.

Workaround: None.

CSCed10672

Symptom: VISM supports 217 AAL2 SVC calls on VISM-PR-E1 only.

Conditions: VISM can do 217 simultaneous AAL2 SVC calls in VISM-PR-E1 card only. Call attempts beyond 217 active calls are rejected in CRCX.

Workaround: Configure the call agent to setup no more than 217 simultaneous AAL2 SVC calls on the VISM-PR-E1 card at any given time.

CSCed02188

Symptom: Running a load of 9 cps with CP tones causes DSP failure.

Conditions: When using VISM-PR in VoIP switching mode with call progress tone detection enabled, running a load of 9 calls per second can cause the VISM DSP to die. Therefore, the VISM cannot run more than 8 calls per second.

Workaround: Disable the call progress tone detection (default).

CSCed15923

Symptom: Terminating VISM attempt downspeed from VBD with Bell103 and V.22Bis modulations.

Conditions: In AAL2 Trunking mode, upspeed calls from modem/POS systems will not connect in Bell 103 and V.22bis modulations.

Workaround: None for AAL2 trunking mode.

CSCed19772

Symptom: VISM rejects SDP with SPACE as session name (s=).

Conditions: VISM parses out whitespace before processing the s= session name field.

Workaround: Request the SDP sender to replace the SPACE character with a DASH (s=-) in SDP.

CSCed21523

Symptom: Redundancy on modem pass call from 5xxx to VISM/VISM-PR fails.

Conditions: Modem passthrough calls with redundancy ON from the (5400/5300) to (VISM/VISM-PR) fail. The calls stay on ringing state for sometime and eventually drop. The modem passthrough calls are generated with V.90 client modems.

Workaround: Turn off redundancy.

CSCed22458

Symptom: Connectivity from VISM-PR to RPM-XF fails and calls are stuck.

Conditions: After running 10 cps load (with SS7 signalling) for two days, VISM fails to respond to a ping from the call agent.

Workaround: Configure VISM with two PVCs and two IP addresses: one for control traffic and one for voice traffic.

CSCed24074

Symptom: High bandwidth usage on E1 loopback and ICS disable in AAL2 trunking.

Conditions: All the CIDs on the VISM-PR-8E1 cards that are associated with these physical E1 lines must be deleted to save the bandwidth. When physical loopbacks are placed, these CIDs might not be useful for the trunking applications.

Workaround: None.

CSCee33552

Symptom: Fax calls fail when VISM software is upgraded from 2.1.0.0 to 3.2.0.0.

Conditions: Endpoints are added in one go. For an E1 line 31 endpoints are added at one go.

Workaround: Adding endpoints one by one resolves the issue.

CSCee54848

Symptom: This defect has been observed to have the following symptoms:

1. SMS tones are occasionally reported at times when no SMS tones are present. The consequence may be the loss of the voice channel for a few seconds or possibly permanently.

2. Lack of bearer voice path occurs for approximately 10 seconds when a softswitch is performed.

3. Unexpected upspeeds to G.711 codec in one direction from G.729 codec mid-way through a normal voice call results in poor voice quality.

Conditions: These symptoms occur when SMS tone detection is enabled.

Workaround: None.

CSCee58292

Symptom: VISM 3.2.00 and 3.2.10 releases have intermittent COT test failures. An SS7 COT fail message is seen, or NTFY on the COT tone is not seen.

Conditions: The problem occurs on the VISM card only, not on the VISM-PR card.

Workaround: None.

CSCee92298

Symptom: By default RAS is enable, and timestamp is enable as shown using the following commands:

•dspds0execdiag

•dspexecdiag

•dsplnexecdiag

•dspcodecjtrdelays

Conditions: The default configuration on RAS is enable, and default timestamp is enable.

Workaround: Use any of the following commands to disable RAS:

•cnfexecdiag

•cnflnexecdiag

•cnfds0execdiag

Use the cnfplayouttimestamp command to disable timestamp.

CSCee92429

Symptom: Voice quality issue due to AAL2 packet errors.

Conditions: Configure 200 CIDs from VISM-PR to VISM-PR in AAL2 trunking mode with subcell muxing enabled. Make sure no packet errors exist. Delete some CIDs and re-add them on one side of the VISM-PR. Then, observe the AAL2 HEC, AAL2 Invalid OSF and Invalid length errors. Also, observe bad voice quality.

Workaround: None.

DDTS Issue	Description
CSCec54765	Symptom: VISM regenerates incorrect DTMF on-times in VoIP Trunking mode. Conditions: When DTMF digits with on-times of less than 50ms are detected on the near-end VISM, they are regenerated with inconsistent on/off times on the far end VISM. Workaround: Ensure DTMF digits being detected have an on-time value greater than 50-60 ms, preferably greater than 60 ms.
CSCec68687	Symptom: Simultaneous ISDN call drops not clearing all the endpoints on VISM. Conditions: This problem happens only when all the established calls drop simultaneously which is a rare situation under normal circumstances. Workaround: Take the gateway out of service and back in service to clear all the ports.
CSCed10672	Symptom: VISM supports 217 AAL2SVC calls on VISM-PR-E1 only. Conditions: Call attempts beyond 217 active calls are rejected. Workaround: Configure the Call Agent to setup no more than 217 simultaneous AAL2 SVC calls on a VISM-PR-E1 at any given time.
CSCed59217	Symptom: VISM-PR keeps sending DTMF digits when no digits are pressed. Conditions: This symptom occurs by randomly pressing the digits on both on-net and off-net phone or pressing the combination of various digits at the same time. The VISM-PR could send out the DTMF payload type 101 packets every 50 ms (similar to retransmission) even though no digits are entered from the TDM side. Workaround: Clear the problem by pressing another digit in the normal fashion.
CSCee03210	Symptom:T.38 interop fails between VISM and 2421. Conditions: This problem occurs when running T.38 fax calls between VISM and 2421 or VISM and 3810 IAD, and T.38 packet level redundancy is enabled. Workaround: Disable T.38 packet level redundancy when making fax calls.
CSCee22756	Symptom: Media Start package—Packet detector works only on the first DSP channel. Conditions: The first RTP packet detected is not reported through the observed event on some DSP channels when requested by the media start package. Two or more DSP channels that are associated with endpoints will fail. Workaround: Add approximately 68 endpoints. These endpoints will be associated with the first DSP channel. For existing configurations, verify the endpoint associated with the first DSP channel before initiating a call with the media start package.
CSCee27874	Symptom: In the AAL2 trunking mode, insufficient bandwidth on one side causes downspeed failure. Conditions: Configure the PCR on the originating side of the fax call to be very low, so the upspeed fails but fax relay goes through. On the terminating side, have enough bandwidth. Make a fax call. The terminating side fails to downspeed. Workaround: None.
CSCee32065	Symptom: 911 operator ringback fails on VISM. Conditions: When making a 911 call through a T1 CAS trunk on VISM, the operator ringback function does not work if the subscriber hangs up first. VISM does not send an offhook signal to the operator after receiving the MGCP resume signal from the call agent. Workaround: None.
CSCee73314	Symptom: VISM reboots while adding the sesgrp with a 64 character call agent domain name. Conditions: This problem occurs when the domain name does not exist (not added using adddn command). Workaround: Add the domain name before adding the sesgrp.
CSCee92429	Symptom: Voice quality issues occur due to AAL2 packet drops. Conditions: Configure 248 CIDs with G.711a 5 ms with VAD off and subcell muxing enabled from one VISM-PR-E1 to another VISM-PR-E1. Delete some CIDs on one VISM-PR and re-add. The following errors are seen on other side: AAL2 HEC errors, AAL2 Invalid OSF cells, and Invalid length thus causing voice quality issue. Workaround: 1. Turn subcell muxing off and/or turn VAD on. 2. Use G.729 or other 10 ms/20 ms codecs.
CSCef32606	Symptom: DSP stops responding to ping after re-download is initiated when DSPs failed. Conditions: This condition is random. Some DSPs might or might not re-download. This issue happens when you have connections that are associated with the DSPs prior to the failure. DSP status is not in active state. Workaround: Reset the card.
CSCef39465	Symptom: HEC Errors and Invalid OSF Cell counters increment on all VISM connections. Conditions: When the cell rate on one of the VISM connections exceeds the PCR value, HEC Errors and Invalid OSF Cell counters start incrementing on all of the connections of the VISM card. This problem occurs only in AAL2 trunking mode with sub-cell multiplexing on. Workaround: Have sufficient PCR values on all of the VISM connections, so the cell rates on any of the connections exceeds the PCR values.

DDTS Issue	Description
CSCeb74938	Symptom: End-to-end path verification failures with G.726-40 codec. Conditions: The G.726-40 40 millisecond packetization period is not functioning. Workaround: All other packetization periods for this codec and the other G.726 codecs are working correctly.
CSCeb76617	Symptom: Not able to pass VAD test for G.729ab codec (AAL2 trunking application). Conditions: When the VAD is tested for the G.729ab codec through the VQT box, the test fails. Workaround: VAD starts when the threshold is below -67 db. In the VQT box, the lowest value that can be set is -60 db. So, VAD cannot be tested using that box.
CSCec01946	Symptom: Low PESQLQ scores on G.729ab codecs. Conditions: In VoIP and AAL2 trunking applications, G.729ab codec configuration shows lower PESQ scores than G.729a codec configuration. Workaround: It is recommended that G.729a with generic VAD be utilized in place of G.729ab.
CSCec30727	Symptom: After the upgrading from 3.1.0 to 3.1.2, a couple of DSPs in a VISM-PR E1 card failed. Conditions: After running load for 4 to 5 days, this problem seems to occur. The only difference between 3.1.0 and 3.1.2 is the POS application and Marconi application which are supported in 3.1.2. Workaround: Reset the VISM-PR card.
CSCec54765	Symptom: VISM regenerates incorrect DTMF on-times in VoIP trunking mode. Conditions: When DTMF digits with on-times of less than 50 ms are detected on the near-end VISM, the digits are regenerated with inconsistent on/off times on the far end VISM. Workaround: Ensure DTMF digits being detected have an on-time value greater than 50-60 ms. The recommendation is greater than 60 ms.
CSCec68687	Symptom: Simultaneous ISDN call drops not clearing all the endpoints on VISM. Conditions: This problem happens only when all the established calls drops simultaneously which is a rare situation under normal circumstances. Workaround: Taking the gateway out of service and back in service clears all the ports and makes them available for the new calls.
CSCec79013	Symptom: PXM1 VISM VBR3nrt connections shown in CWM as VBR1nrt. Conditions: PXM1 VISM VBR3nrt connections. Workaround: None.
CSCed10672	Symptom: VISM supports 217 AAL2 SVC calls on VISM-PR-E1 only. Conditions: VISM can do 217 simultaneous AAL2 SVC calls in VISM-PR-E1 card only. Call attempts beyond 217 active calls are rejected in CRCX. Workaround: Configure the call agent to setup no more than 217 simultaneous AAL2 SVC calls on the VISM-PR-E1 card at any given time.
CSCed02188	Symptom: Running a load of 9 cps with CP tones causes DSP failure. Conditions: When using VISM-PR in VoIP switching mode with call progress tone detection enabled, running a load of 9 calls per second can cause the VISM DSP to die. Therefore, the VISM cannot run more than 8 calls per second. Workaround: Disable the call progress tone detection (default).
CSCed15923	Symptom: Terminating VISM attempt downspeed from VBD with Bell103 and V.22Bis modulations. Conditions: In AAL2 Trunking mode, upspeed calls from modem/POS systems will not connect in Bell 103 and V.22bis modulations. Workaround: None for AAL2 trunking mode.
CSCed19772	Symptom: VISM rejects SDP with SPACE as session name (s=). Conditions: VISM parses out whitespace before processing the s= session name field. Workaround: Request the SDP sender to replace the SPACE character with a DASH (s=-) in SDP.
CSCed21523	Symptom: Redundancy on modem pass call from 5xxx to VISM/VISM-PR fails. Conditions: Modem passthrough calls with redundancy ON from the (5400/5300) to (VISM/VISM-PR) fail. The calls stay on ringing state for sometime and eventually drop. The modem passthrough calls are generated with V.90 client modems. Workaround: Turn off redundancy.
CSCed22458	Symptom: Connectivity from VISM-PR to RPM-XF fails and calls are stuck. Conditions: After running 10 cps load (with SS7 signalling) for two days, VISM fails to respond to a ping from the call agent. Workaround: Configure VISM with two PVCs and two IP addresses: one for control traffic and one for voice traffic.
CSCed24074	Symptom: High bandwidth usage on E1 loopback and ICS disable in AAL2 trunking. Conditions: All the CIDs on the VISM-PR-8E1 cards that are associated with these physical E1 lines must be deleted to save the bandwidth. When physical loopbacks are placed, these CIDs might not be useful for the trunking applications. Workaround: None.
CSCee33552	Symptom: Fax calls fail when VISM software is upgraded from 2.1.0.0 to 3.2.0.0. Conditions: Endpoints are added in one go. For an E1 line 31 endpoints are added at one go. Workaround: Adding endpoints one by one resolves the issue.
CSCee54848	Symptom: This defect has been observed to have the following symptoms: 1. SMS tones are occasionally reported at times when no SMS tones are present. The consequence may be the loss of the voice channel for a few seconds or possibly permanently. 2. Lack of bearer voice path occurs for approximately 10 seconds when a softswitch is performed. 3. Unexpected upspeeds to G.711 codec in one direction from G.729 codec mid-way through a normal voice call results in poor voice quality. Conditions: These symptoms occur when SMS tone detection is enabled. Workaround: None.
CSCee58292	Symptom: VISM 3.2.00 and 3.2.10 releases have intermittent COT test failures. An SS7 COT fail message is seen, or NTFY on the COT tone is not seen. Conditions: The problem occurs on the VISM card only, not on the VISM-PR card. Workaround: None.
CSCee92298	Symptom: By default RAS is enable, and timestamp is enable as shown using the following commands: •dspds0execdiag •dspexecdiag •dsplnexecdiag •dspcodecjtrdelays Conditions: The default configuration on RAS is enable, and default timestamp is enable. Workaround: Use any of the following commands to disable RAS: •cnfexecdiag •cnflnexecdiag •cnfds0execdiag Use the cnfplayouttimestamp command to disable timestamp.
CSCee92429	Symptom: Voice quality issue due to AAL2 packet errors. Conditions: Configure 200 CIDs from VISM-PR to VISM-PR in AAL2 trunking mode with subcell muxing enabled. Make sure no packet errors exist. Delete some CIDs and re-add them on one side of the VISM-PR. Then, observe the AAL2 HEC, AAL2 Invalid OSF and Invalid length errors. Also, observe bad voice quality. Workaround: None.
