Bind FXS ports to higher layer applications

An FXS port needs to be associated to an fxs interface in a CS context. The same mechanism of encapsulation and binding is used as known for e.g. Ethernet ports (see “Interfaces, Ports, and Bindings” on page 47).

Procedure: To bind an FXS port to an FXS interface of a CS context

Mode: Port FXS

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(config)#port fxs slot port	Enter configuration mode for FXS port
2	node(prt-fxs)[slot/port]#encap-	Sets the encapsulation for the port. cc-fxs designs
	sulation cc-fxs	the encapsulation is a context CS interface
3	node(prt-fxs)[slot/port]#bind	Binds the port to an interface in a CS context
	interface interface

Configure country-specific FXS port parameters

Unlike ISDN, POTS is heavily country specific even though there is a good chance that a phone for one coun- try works reasonably good in another country. Country specific settings are contained in a so-called fxs profile which is integrated in the firmware of the SmartNode. It can be updated independently from the firmware by means of tftp download.

As there are more than 190 countries, SmartWare does not support all country parameters, so make sure that the country parameter for your country is available as a profile, before you begin operation.

Procedure: Configure country-specific FXS parameters

Mode: Port FXS

Step	Command			Purpose
1	node(config)#port	Enter configuration mode for FXS port
	fxs slot port
2	node(prt-fxs)[slot/	Select a profile containing the country specific settings of the port attributes
	port]#use profile	(ring voltage etc.). The available country profiles are listed when entering
	fxs profile	this command. The names listed are composed as follows:
		ISO3166-1-Alpha-2 2 digit country code
		Examples (currently available profiles):
		•	ch	Switzerland
		•	etsi	ETSI EG 201 188 Configuration (Europe)
		•	gb	Great Britain
		•	nl	Netherlands
		•	us	United States of America/Canada
		•	us-115vpp	USA, higher ring voltatge (115 Vpp)
		•	za	South Africa
		The default profile (not displayed in the list when entering the command) is etsi.
