Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP

Hoot and Holler over IP Overview

You can connect voice multicasting telephones to routers in the following ways:

Connect a four-wire E&M telephone, which has no dial and is always off-hook, directly to an E&M voice interface card that is installed in a voice network module. Configure the E&M interface for four-wire trunk operation. For information about configuring E&M interfaces, see the chapter “Configuring Voice Ports” in this configuration guide.

Connect a conventional telephone to a PBX that is connected to an E&M voice interface card.

Connect a conventional telephone to an FXS voice interface card that is installed in a voice network module.

Connect a conventional telephone to a PBX that is connected through a E1/T1 line to a multiflex trunk interface card that is installed in a high-density voice network module.

Note The voice multicasting feature supports only one E1/T1 line per high-density voice network module.

IP/TV Access

The Cisco hoot and holler over IP feature enables you to access ongoing IP/TV multicasts for listening to voice content of the IP/TV session. For complete information on IP/TV, see the IP/TV Content Manager Installation and User Guide.

Ensure that you have properly connected and configured your network for VoIP. Enable the Cisco hoot and holler over IP feature using the session protocol multicast command.

Ensure that the server configured with the IP/TV Content Manager is in the same Ethernet network as the Cisco hoot and holler over IP functionality.

Ensure that the Cisco hoot and holler over IP multicast details are registered with the IP/TV Content Manager.
