Cisco Systems 1760 Configuring Voice Interface Cards

The destination-pattern command defines the telephone number associated with the VoFR dial peer. The session target

command specifies a destination DLCI for the VoFR dial peer.

Use the dial-peer voice command to define dial peers and to change to dial peer configuration mode. For examples, see the

“Configuring FXS Interfaces” section on page 17, the “Configuring FXO Interfaces” section on page 23, and the “Configuring

E&M Interfaces” section on page 24.

Office PBXs are configured so that a user can dial a local call (within the same PBX) by dialing the extension only—for instance,

the four-digit extension 3737, or the five-digit extension 53737—rather than dialing the full telephone number, 1 408 555-3737.

You can provide the same shortcut on a VoIP network by using the number-expansion (num-exp) command.

Router(config)# num-exp 5.... 1408555....

This command tells the router to expand a particular sequence of dialed numbers into a complete telephone number (destination

pattern) as shown in Table1.

You can use a period (.) as a wildcard character representing a single digit in a telephone number.

You can use the show num-exp command to verify the number expansion information.

Router# show num-exp [dialed-number]

After you have configured dial peers and assigned destination patterns to them, you can use the show dialplan number command

to see how a telephone number maps to a dial peer.

Router# show dialplan number [dialed-number]

Note You must still configure each telephone number in full on a local dial peer so that the router can find the voice port to

which it belongs.

Configuring Voice Interface Cards

The router supports one to four Cisco VICs. Each VIC provides two ports. You need one VIC port for each voice connection.

Note To transmit voice calls over an IP WAN, you need (in addition to the VICs) at least one WIC in the router to provide

the connection to the WAN.

There are five types of VIC interfaces:

•An FXS (foreign exchange station) interface connects directly to a standard telephone, a fax machine, or a similar device.

The FXS VIC interface supplies ringing voltage, dial tone, and similar signals to the station. Ports on this VIC are gray.
