Configure the Single-Port Primary Rate Interface

The Acme Packet 1100 and the Acme Packet 3900 support the single-port ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI). To configure the PRI interface, you must set the parameters in tdm-config and tdm-profile under system. After you create the configuration, you must run either the Set TDM Configuration Wizard from the Web GUI or the setup tdm command from the ACLI to complete the configuration.

• Confirm the presence of the single-port PRI interface on the Acme Packet 1100.

Note that because the single-port interface supports only one profile, you can set either pri_cpe (Customer Premises Equipment) or pri_net (Network) for signaling. The setting you choose depends on the setting at the other end of the connection. Set this configuration to the opposite of the other end. For example, when the setting at the other end is pri_net, set pri_cpe in this configuration.

Note:

The system requires the four-port interface to support profiles for both pri_cpe and pri_net.

1. Access the tdm-config configuration element.

   ORACLE# configure terminal
   ORACLE(configure)# system
   ORACLE(system)# tdm-config
   ORACLE(tdm-config)#

2. In tdm-config, set the following:

   state	Set to enable to allow TDM operations.
   logging	Set to enable to allow logging.
   line-mode	Set either t1 (North America) or e1 (Europe).
   tone-zone	Set the TDM tone zone. Valid values: ae | ar | at | au | be | bg | br | ch | cn | cr | cz | de | dk | ee | es | fi | fr | gr | hu | il | in | it | jp | lt | mo | mx | my | nl | no | nz | pa | ph | pl | pt | ru | se | sq | th | tw | uk | us | us-old | ve | za. Default: us.
   calling-pres	Set the type of call ID presentation for this profile. Valid values: allowed_not_screened | allowed_failed_screen | allowed_passed_screen | prohib_not_screened | prohib_passed_screen | prohib_failed_screen | prohib | unavailable Default: allowed_not_screened
   caller-ID	Set the type of caller ID for CLIP and COLP that you want for the SIP header. Valid values: no, rpid (remote-party-ID), pai (p-asserted-ID) Default: No
   called-type-of-number	Set the type of Number and Numbering Plan associated with Called Party information. Valid values: unknown | local | national | international | dynamic.
   calling-typre-of-number	Set the type of Number and Numbering Plan associated with Calling Party information. Valid values: unknown | local | national | international | dynamic.

3. In tdm-profile, set the following:

   Name	Set the name for this TDM profile.
   Signaling	Do one of the following: Set pri_net when you want the ESBC to represent the network side of the connection. Set pri_cpe when you want the ESBC to represent the Customer Premises Equipment side of the connection. Default.
   Switch Type	Set a switch type for this configuration. Valid values: national, dms100, 4ess, 5ess, euroisdn, ni1, qsig.
   B-channel	Set the B channel value according to the line mode that you specified for this configuration. For t1: 1-23 For e1: 1-15,17-31
   D-channel	Set the D channel value according to the line mode that you specified for this configuration. For t1: 24 For e1: 16
   Span Number	Set the span number to 1.
   Route Group	Set the number of the associated route group to use this profile. Valid values: 0-63.
   Line Build Out	Set the decibel (db) level per foot of line length. Valid values: 0-7. 0db up to 133 feet. Increment by 1db/133 feet after 133 feet. For example, 2db for 266-399 feet.
   Framing Value	Set the framing value according to the line mode that you specified for this configuration. For t1: esf For e1: ccs
   Coding Value	Set the coding value according to the line mode that you specified for this configuration. For t1: b8zs For e1: hdb3
   CRC4 Checking	For e1, only. Enable or disable crc4-checking to match the setting of the PBX or service provider. Default: Disabled.
   Time Source	Set the timing source. Valid values: 0-4. Default: 1. 0—The interface provides its own timing. 1—The interface receives timing from the remote end. 2—The interface receives secondary timing from the remote end. 3—The interface receives tertiary backup timing from the remote end. 4—The interface receives quaternary backup timing from the remote end.
   RX Gain	Set the decibel level that increases or decreases the TDM receiving channel volume. Valid values: 0.0-9.9. Default: 0.0.
   TX Gain	Set the decibel level that increases or decreases the TDM transmitting channel volume. Valid values: 0.0-9.9. Default: 0.0.
   Echo Cancellation	Enable or disable echo cancellation.
   Overlap Dial	Set the overlap dialing function to either no or incoming, where incoming means yes.
   Incoming Pattern	Set a list of extension numbers or match patterns. Separate single extension numbers with the vertical bar (|) character. A pattern starts with the underscore (_) character. In an extension pattern, note the meaning of the following characters: X matches any digit from 0-9 Z matches any digit from 1-9 N matches any digit from 2-9 [1237-9] matches any digit in the brackets (in this example, 1,2,3,7,8,9). . wildcard matches one or more characters ! wildcard matches zero or more characters immediately Syntax examples: Suppose the main number is 800-555-1234, one key extension is number 80, and the range of other extensions is from 8100-8399. Match the exact number including the extension: 800555123480 Match the extension in a range: _80055512348[1-3]XX Match the exact number including the extension or match an extension in a range: 800555123480|_80055512348[1-3]XX
