SmartWare Software Configuration Guide	36 • FXO interface configuration

Note Verify that you have conﬁgured the dial-tone for the country in which the SmartNode is installed. (see chapter 42, “Tone conﬁguration” on page 529). If the dial-tone is not conﬁgured for the proper country, the FXO interface will not detect when the remote FXS switch is sending dial-tone.

Conﬁguring the number of rings to wait before answering the call (optional) An FXO port identiﬁes an incoming call by detecting the ring from the FXS switch. The ring-numberis a conﬁgurable parameter which selects the number of rings before answering the incoming call, that is, before going off-hook and establishing the call. The minimum value for ring-numberis zero (0). With a ring-num- ber of zero, the FXO interface never answers an incoming call.

Due to variations between countries, the proper setting may be 1 or 2. In the USA the Caller-ID (CLID) is sent to the FXO port between the ﬁrst and second ring, so a ring-number of 2 would be appropriate. On the other hand, numerous countries send the CLID prior to the ﬁrst ring, so the default setting of 1 would be satisfactory.

Mode: Interface FXO

Step	Prompt, command & response	Purpose

1	node>	Basic prompt in Operator Exec mode

2	node>enable	Enters Administration execution mode

	node#	Response: The prompt in administration execu-
		tion mode is the #

3	node#configure	Enters the Configure configuration mode

	node(cfg)#	Response: The prompt in the Configure configu-
		ration mode is (cfg)#

4	node(cfg)#context cs	Enters the Context CS configure mode

	node(ctx-cs)[switch]#	Response: The prompt in the Context CS configu-
		ration mode is (ctx-cs)[switch]#

5	node(ctx-cs)[switch]#interface fxo if-name	Enter the Interface FXO configuration mode

	node(if-fxo)[if-name]#	Response: The prompt in the Interface FXO con-
		figuration mode is (if-fxo)[if-name]#

6	node(if-fxo)[if-name]#ring-number count	Specifies the number of rings to wait before
		going off-hook. Default = 1 ring.

Example: Conﬁgure the ring number to wait for CLID by setting the count to 2. The name of the speciﬁc FXO interface is pstn-local.

node>enable

node#configure node(cfg)#context cs

node(ctx-cs)[switch]#interface fxo pstn-local node(if-fxo)[pstn-local]#ring-number 2

You can verify the change in conﬁguration by using the show running-conﬁgcommand.
