Configuring Voice Ports
Analog Voice Ports Configuration Task List

Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Configuration Guide
To configure codec complexity on the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator using HCMs, use the
following commands beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Configuring Basic Parameters on Analog FXO, FXS, or E&M Voice Ports
This section describes commands for basic analog voice port configuration. All the data recommended
in the “Preparing to Configure Analog Voice Ports” section on page 41 should be gathered before
starting this procedure.
If configuring a Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator that has HCMs, codec complexity should also
be configured, following the steps in the “Configuring Codec Complexity for Analog Voice Ports on the
Cisco MC3810 with High-Performance Compression Modules” section on page 45.
Note If you have a Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator or Cisco 3660 router, the compand-type
a-law command must be configured on the analog ports only. The Cisco 2660, 3620, and 3640 routers
do not require the configuration of th compand-type a-law command, however, if you request a list
of commands, the compand-type a-law command will display.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router# show voice dsp
Checks the DSP voice channel activity. If any DSP
voice channels are in the busy state, the codec
complexity cannot be changed.
When all the DSP channels are in the idle state,
continue to Step 2.
Step 2
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
Router(config)# voice-card 0
Enters voice-card configuration mode and
specifies voice card 0.
Step 4
Router(config-voicecard)# codec complexity {high |
medium}
(For analog voice ports) Specifies codec
complexity based on the codec standard being
used. This setting restricts the codecs available in
dial peer configuration. All voice cards in a router
must use the same codec complexity setting.
The keywords are as follows:
• high—Specifies two voice channels encoded
in any of the following formats:
G.711ulaw, G.711alaw, G.723.1(r5.3),
G.723.1 Annex A(r5.3), G.723.1(r6.3),
G.723.1 Annex A(r6.3), G.726(r16),
G.726(r24), G.726(r32), G.728, G.729, G.729
Annex B, and fax relay.
• medium—(default) Specifies four voice
channels encoded in any of the following
formats: G.711ulaw, G.711alaw, G.726(r16),
G.726(r24), G.726(r32), G.729 Annex A,
G.729 Annex B with Annex A, and fax relay.
Note If two HCMs are installed, this command
configures both HCMs at once.
