Configuring Cisco MC3810 Series Concentrators

to Use High-Performance Compression Modules

This document describes feature changes introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)XK and supported in

Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T and later for Cisco MC3810 series concentrators that contain

high-performance voice compression modules (HCMs).

This document includes the following sections:

•“Feature Overview” on page 1

•“Supported Platforms” on page 2

•“Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs” on page 3

Feature Overview

High-performance voice compression modules (HCMs) provide voice compression according to the

voice compression coding algorithm (codec) specified when the Cisco MC3810 is configured. Table 1

shows the number of voice channels each type of compression module can support.

Benefits

HCMs support more voice channels than the earlier voice compression modules (VCMs) used in the

Cisco MC3810 series.

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to HCMs:

•HCMs should not be combined with VCMs in a Cisco MC3810 chassis.

•HCMs require Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)XK or 12.1(2)T or later.

Prerequisites

One or two HCM modules must be installed in your Cisco MC3810 chassis.

Note An HCM may not be combined with a VCM in one chassis.

Configuration Tasks

Complete the following tasks to configure the Cisco MC3810 voice ports for operation with one or two

HCMs installed:

•Configuring Codec Complexity

•Specifying Codecs for Network Dial Peers

Configuring Cisco MC3810 Series Concentrators to Use High-Performance Compression Modules

Configuration Tasks

Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T

Configuring Codec Complexity

To configure codec complexity for voice ports, enter the following commands, beginning in privileged

EXEC mode. Commands apply to both analog and digital voice ports unless otherwise indicated. You

enter the codec complexity command in voice-card configuration mode. On the Cisco MC3810 series,

voice-card 0 is used as a virtual voice-card, and the setting applies to all voice ports on a Cisco MC3810.

This procedure does not cover other voice-port configuration commands that may be required. To learn

more, see the Cisco IOS Multiservice Applications Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Multiservice

Applications Command Reference for Cisco IOS Release 12.1.

Verifying Codec Complexity Settings

To verify the codec complexity configuration, enter the show running-config command to display the

current voice-card setting. If medium complexity is specified, the codec complexity setting is not

displayed. If high complexity is specified, the setting codec complexity high is displayed. The

following example shows an excerpt from the command output if high complexity has been specified:

Router# show running-config

hostname router-alpha

voice-card 0

codec complexity high

Command Purpose

Step 1 router# show voice dsp Check the DSP voice channel activity. If any DSP voice channels are in the

busy state, you cannot change the codec complexity.

When all of the DSP channels are in the idle state, continue to step 2.

Step 2 router# configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.

Step 3 router(config)# voice-card 0 Enter voice-card configuration mode and specify voice card 0. Voice card 0

provides the configuration mode for setting the codec complexity on a

Cisco MC3810.

Step 4 router(config-voicecard)# codec

complexity {high | medium}Specify the codec complexity for this Cisco MC3810 according to the

bandwidth requirements and the number of voice channels to be supported

per DSP. The default is medium complexity, which provides four voice

channels per DSP.

See the “codec complexity” section on page 11 in the Command Reference

for information about the codec complexity command.

Step 5 router(config-voicecard)# exit Exit from voice-card configuration mode.

Configuration Tasks

Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T

Specifying Codecs for Network Dial Peers

Follow these steps to specify a codec for each network dial peer according to the codec complexity

setting selected for this Cisco MC3810. If you do not set codec complexity and specify a codec, the

defaults remain in effect: medium complexity and G.729, 8000 bps.

This does not cover the complete dial-peer configuration procedure. To learn more, see the Cisco IOS

Multiservice Applications Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Multiservice Applications Command

Reference for Cisco IOS Release 12.1.

Verifying Network Dial Peers

Follow the procedure below to verify dial-peer configuration. To learn more about these commands, see

the Cisco IOS Multiservice Applications Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Multiservice

Applications Command Reference for Cisco IOS Release 12.1.

Enter the privileged EXEC show dial-peer voice command. The following text is sample output from

the show dial-peer voice command for a VoIP dial peer:

Router# show dial-peer voice 10

VoiceOverIpPeer10

information type = voice,

tag = 10, destination-pattern = `555....',

answer-address = `', preference=0,

group = 10, Admin state is up, Operation state is up,

incoming called-number = `', connections/maximum = 0/unlimited,

DTMF Relay = disabled,

application associated:

type = voip, session-target = `ipv4:10.1.1.1',

Command Purpose

Step 1 Router# configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2 Router(config)# dial-peer voice tag {voip |vofr |

voatm}Enter dial-peer configuration mode and specify a

network dial peer for which to specify a codec.

tag is one or more digits to identify the dial peer. Valid

entries are 1 to 2147483647.

Step 3 Router(config-dial-peer)# codec codec [bytes

payload-size]Specify a codec for the dial peer. Codec types are as

follows:

g711alaw, g711ulaw,

g723ar53, g723ar63, g723r53, g723r63,

g726r16, g726r24, g726r32,

g728,

g729abr8, g729ar8, g729br8, g729r8

The default is g729r8.

Optionally specify the voice payload (in bytes) of each

frame.

For information about the options available for the

codec command, see the command reference section or

enter ?.

Step 4 Router(config-dial-peer)# exit Exit from dial-peer configuration mode.

codec (dial-peer)

Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T

Command History

Usage Guidelines A codec type can be configured on the dial-peer if it is supported under the codec complexity setting

you have specified.

The dial-peer configuration command is particularly useful when you must change to a

small-bandwidth codec. Large-bandwidth codecs, such as G.711, do not fit in a small-bandwidth link.

However, g711alaw and g711ulaw provide higher-quality voice transmission than other codecs. For

almost toll quality (and a significant savings in bandwidth), g729r8 provides near-toll quality with

considerable bandwidth savings.

If the destination router does not support a codec required by the originating router, the call setup fails.

You can change the payload of each voice packet frame by using the bytes payload-size setting. However,

increasing the payload size can add processing delay for each voice packet. Table 3 describes the voice

payload options and default values for the codecs and packet voice protocols.
