Cisco High-Density Analog Voice and Fax Network Module

Configuration Tasks

To troubleshoot specific areas of the high density analog network module, perform the following steps:

To show messages from the DSP on the VPM to the router, Use the debug vpm dsp .

To show which debug commands are enabled, use the show debug.

To enable the display of trunk conditioning supervisory component trace information, use the debug vtsp all.

Table 4 lists some problems you might encounter after configuring voice ports and some suggested remedies.

Table 4 Troubleshooting Voice Port Configurations

Problem

Suggested Action

 

 

No connectivity

Ping the associated IP address to confirm connectivity. If you

 

cannot successfully ping your destination, refer to the Cisco IOS

 

IP Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.

 

 

No connectivity

Enter the show voice port command with the voice port number

 

that you are troubleshooting, which will tell you:

 

If the voice port is up. If it is not, use the no shutdown

 

command to make it active.

 

What parameter values have been set for the voice port,

 

including default values (these do not appear in the output for

 

the show running-config command). If these values do not

 

match those of the telephony connection you are making,

 

reconfigure the voice port.

 

 

Telephony device buzzes or does

Use the show voice port command to confirm that ring frequency

not ring

is configured correctly. It must match the connected telephony

 

equipment and may be country-dependent.

 

 

Distorted speech

Use the show voice port command to confirm that the cptone

 

keyword setting (also called region tone) is US.

 

 

Music on hold is not heard

Reduce the music-thresholdlevel.

 

 

Background noise is not heard

Enable the comfort-noisecommand.

 

 

Long pauses occur in

Overall delay is probably excessive; the standard for adequate

conversation; like speaking on a

voice quality is 150 ms one-way transit delay. Measure delay by

walkie-talkie

using ping tests at various times of the day with different network

 

traffic loads. If delay must be reduced, areas to examine include

 

propagation delay of signals between the sending and receiving

 

endpoints, voice encoding delay, and the voice packetization time

 

for various VoIP codecs.
