Step 3
Router(config-voiceport)# cptone
locale
Selects a two-letter locale keyword for the voice
call progress tones and other locale-specific
parameters to be used on this voice port. Voice call
progress tones include dial tone, busy tone, and
ringback tone, which vary with geographical
region.
Other parameters include ring cadence and
compand type. Cisco routers comply with the
ISO3166 locale name standards; to see valid
choices, enter a question mark (?) following the
cptone command.
The default is us.
Step 4
Router(config-voiceport)# compand-type {u-law | a-law}
(Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers and
Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrators only)
Specifies the companding standard used. This
command is used in cases when the DSP is not
used, such as local cross-connects, and overwrites
the compand-type value set by the cptone
command. The keywords are as follows:
• a-law—Specifies the ITU-T PCM a-law
companding standard used primarily in
Europe. The default for E1 is a-law.
• u-law—Specifies the ITU-T PCM mu-law
companding standard used in North America
and Japan. The default for T1 is u-law.
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 compand-type a-law
command configured, however, if you
request a list of commands, the
compand-type a-law command will
display.
Step 5
Cisco 2600 series and 3600 series
Router(config-voiceport)# ring frequency {25 | 50}
Cisco MC3810
Router(config-voiceport)# ring frequency {20 | 30}
(FXS only) Selects the ring frequency, in hertz,
used on the FXS interface. This number must
match the connected telephony equipment, and
can be country-dependent. If not set properly, the
attached telephony device may not ring or it may
buzz.
The default is 25 on the Cisco 2600 and 3600
series routers and 20 on the Cisco MC3810
multiservice concentrators.
