Voice over IP Configurations
This chapter provides an overview of Voice over IP (VoIP) operations on the Cisco uBR924 cable access
router. It also describes how to configure the Cisco uBR924 router for basic VoIP operation in both
bridging and routing modes. This chapter contains the foll owing sections:
Overview
H.323v2 Static Bridging Configuration
H.323v2 Static Routing Configuration
H.323v2 Dynamic Mapping Configuration
SGCP Configuration
MGCP Configuration
Note The configurations shown in this chapter can be combined with most of the data-only configurations
shown in Chapter3, “Advanced Data-Only Configurations.” All voice configurations assume that the
CMTS and associated servers, gateways, and gatekeepers have been configured accordingly.

Overview

When using a CiscoIOS image that contains voice support, the Cisco uBR924 cable access router
supports Voice over IP (VoIP), which transmits voice and fax calls over a TCP/IP network such as the
Internet. Depending on the services purchased from the cable service provider, subscribers can place and
receive calls without using the local telco exchange carrier.
The Ciscou BR924 router has two voice ports that support two simultaneous voice and fax calls from
each subscriber site, but multiple telephones and fax devices can be connected to each of the two VoIP
telephone lines (provided that the 5 REN limit for each t elephone line is not exceeded). Telephones at
each subscriber site must support touch-tone dialing; rotary dialing is not supported. Special telephone
features such as call waiting, forwarding, and conferen cing are supported only when using Cisco IOS
images that support those features.
Note Fax devices—standard Group III and computer-based Group III machines up to 14,400 baud—are
supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T and higher images that support VoIP. However, in general,
fax/modem cards are not supported over VoIP links. You must be using a Cisco IOS image that supports
voice and have purchased the appropriate feature license before being able to make voice calls using the
Cisco uBR924 router.
