Prerequisites for Configuring Digital Voice Ports
Digital T1 or E1 packet voice capability requires specific service, software, and hardware:
• Obtain T1 or E1 service from the service provider or from your PBX.
• Create your company’s dial plan.
• Establish a working telephony network based on your company’s dial plan.
• Establish a connection to the network LAN or WAN.
• Set up a working IP and Frame Relay or ATM network. For more information about configuring IP,
refer to the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.
• Install appropriate voice processing and voice interface hardware on the router. See the
“Platform-Specific Digital Voice Hardware” section on page 58.
• (Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers) For digital T1 packet voice trunk network modules, install
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)XK, 12.0(7)T, 12.2(1), or a later release. The minimum DRAM memory
requirements are as follows:
–
32 MB, with one or two T1 lines
–
48 MB, with three or four T1 lines
–
64 MB, with five to ten T1 lines
–
128 MB, with more than ten T1 lines
The memory required for high-volume applications may be greater than that listed. Support for
digital T1 packet voice trunk network modules is included in Plus feature sets. The IP Plus feature
set requires 8 MB of Flash memory; other Plus feature sets require 16 MB.
• (Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers) For digital E1 packet voice trunk network modules, install
Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T, 12.2(1), or a later release. The minimum DRAM memory requirements
are:
–
48 MB, with one or two E1s
–
64 MB, with three to eight E1s
–
128 MB, with 9 to 12 E1s
For high-volume applications, the memory required may be greater than these minimum values.
Support for digital E1 packet voice trunk network modules is included in Plus feature sets. The IP
Plus feature set requires 16 MB of Flash memory.
• (Cisco MC3810 concentrators) HCMs require Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)XK or 12.1(2)T, 12.2(1),
or a later release.
• (Cisco 7200 and 7500 series routers) For digital T1/E1 voice port adapters, install Cisco IOS
Release 12.0(5)XE, 12.0(7)T, 12.2(1), or a later release. The minimum DRAM memory requirement
to support T1/E1 high-capacity digital voice port adapters is 64 MB.
The memory required for high-volume applications may be greater than that listed. Support for T1/E1
high-capacity digital voice port adapters is included in Plus feature sets. The IP Plus feature set requires
16 MB of Flash memory.
