PRI and BRI QSIG Protocol Support on Cisco 2600, 3600, and MC3810Series Routers and PRI QSIG on the Cisco 7200
Feature Overview

Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T
Feature Overview
QSIG protocol support allows Cisco voice switching services to connect private branch exchanges
(PBXs), key systems (KTs), and central office switches (COs) that communicate by using the QSIG
protocol, which is becoming the standard for PBX interoperability in Europe and North America. QSIG
is a variant of ISDN D-channel signaling. With QSIG, Cisco networks emulate the functionality of the
public-switched telephone network (PSTN), and QSIG signaling messages allow the dynamic
establishment of voice connections across a Cisco wide-area network (WAN) to a peer router, which
can then transport the signaling and voice packets to a second private integrated services network
exchange (PINX), as shown in Figure 1.
Figure1 QSIG Signaling
The Cisco voice packet network appears to the traditional QSIG PBXs as a distributed transit PBX that
can establish calls to any PBX, non-QSIG PBX, or other telephony endpoint served by a Cisco gateway,
including non-QSIG endpoints. When originating and terminating on QSIG endpoints, the QSIG
messages are passed transparently across the network; the PBXs are responsible for processing and
provisioning the supplementary services. When linking QSIG and non-QSIG endpoints served by a
Cisco packet voice gateway, only basic calls are supported. In addition, all switched voice connections
must be established and torn down in response to QSIG control messages.
QSIG support includes the following capabilities:
Enables digit forwarding on POTS dial peers.
On Cisco 3600 series routers, enables QSIG-switched calls over Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR),
Voice over IP (VoIP), and Voice over ATM (VoATM) for T1/E1 and BRI voice interface cards.
On Cisco 2600 series routers, enables QSIG-switched calls over Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR)
and Voice over IP (VoIP) for T1/E1 and BRI voice interface cards.
On Cisco 7200 series routers, enables QSIG-switched calls over Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR)
and Voice over IP (VoIP) on T1/E1 voice interface cards.
On Cisco MC 3810, enables T1 or E1 PRI and Basic Rate Interface (BRI) QSIG-switched calls over
VoFR. VoIP, and VoATM for Cisco MC3810 digital voice modules (DVMs) and BRI voice module
(BVM). QSIG support on the Cisco MC3810 was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2)T.
Figure 2 shows an example of how QSIG support can enable a toll-bypass application.

Switch-Type Configuration Options
Step-by-step configuration procedures are included in Configuration Tasks on page 9. This section
includes some tips for configuring the ISDN switch type.
You can enter the isdn switch-type command to support QSIG at either the global configuration level
or at the interface configuration level. For example, if you have a QSIG connection on one line as well
as on the BRI or PRI port, you can configure the ISDN switch type in one of the following
combinations:
Set the global isdn switch-type command to support QSIG by entering either the isdn switch-type
basic-qsig command (BRI) or isdn switch-type primary-qsig command (BRI); and set the
interface isdn switch-type command for the interfaces to a regular central office switch type, such
as those shown in Table 2.
Set the global isdn switch-type command to support the CO switch type (see Table 2), and set the
interface isdn switch-type command for the interface to support QSIG.
Configure the global isdn switch-type command to another setting (see Table 2); then, set the
interface isdn switch-type command for interface bri to a BRI setting; set the interface isdn
switch-type command for the serial interface to support QSIG.

Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T
Benefits
QSIG voice signaling provides the following benefits:
Provides efficient and cost-effective services on permanent (virtual) circuits or leased lines.
Allows enterprise networks that include PBX networks to replace leased voice lines with the voice
switching capability.
Eliminates the need to route connections through multiple tandem PBX hops to reach the desired
destination, saving bandwidth and PBX hardware and switching power.
Improves voice quality through the single-hop routing provided by voice switching while allowing
voice to be compressed more aggressively, resulting in additional savings.
Supports PBX feature transparency across a WAN, permitting PBX networks to provide
advanced features such as calling name and number display, camp-on/callback, network call
forwarding, centralized attendant, and centralized message waiting. Usually, these capabilities are
available on only a single site where users are attached to the same PBX.
Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to the Cisco MC3810:
QSIG data calls are not supported. All calls with bearer capability indicating a non-voice type (such
as for video telephony) are rejected.
A Cisco MC3810 supports only one T1/E1 interface with direct connectivity to a PINX.
The Cisco MC3810 supports a maximum of 24 B channels.
When QSIG is configured, serial port 1 cannot support speeds higher than 192 kbps. This restriction
assumes that the MFT is installed in slot 3 on the Cisco MC3810. If the MFT is not installed, then
serial port 1 does not operate.
The Cisco 2600 series does not support VoATM.
The following restrictions apply to the Cisco 7200 series:
VoATM is not supported.
BRI is not supported.

33
Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T
isdn contiguous-bchan
To configure contiguous bearer channel handling on an E1 Primary Rate Interface (PRI) interface, use
the isdn contiguous-bchan interface configuration command. To disable the contiguous B channel
handling, use the no form of this command.
isdn contiguous-bchan
no isdn contiguous-bchan
Syntax Description This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults By default, contiguous B channel handling is off.
Command Modes Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use the isdn contiguous-bchan command to specify contiguous bearer channel handling so that B
channels 1 through 30, skipping 16, map to time slots 1 through 31. This is available for E1 PRI
interfaces only, when the primary-qsig switch type option is configured by using the isdn switch-type
command.

Syntax Description
Defaults When a PRI or BRI interface is created, isdn incoming-voice voice is the default, except on a Cisco
2600 or 3600 series BRI S/T TE interface. In this case, if the command is not specified, the default isdn
incoming-voice modem configuration setting is converted to isdn incoming-voice voice when the
interface receives an incoming call.
Command Modes Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines Unless you specify otherwise, all calls received by the router and characterized as voice calls are treated
as such and not handled as digital data or not passed over to the modem.
On a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router BRI S/T TE interface where the isdn incoming-voice command
is not specified, the default isdn incoming-voice modem configuration setting is converted to isdn
incoming-voice voice when the interface receives an incoming call.
data Specifies that incoming voice calls bypass the modems and are
handled as digital data.
modem Specifies that incoming voice calls are passed over to the digital
modems, where they negotiate the appropriate modem connection
with the far-end modem.
voice Specifies that incoming voice calls are treated as voice calls rather
than being routed to the modem or handled as digital data.
56 Specifies that the bandwidth for this connection is 56 kbps.
64 Specifies that the bandwidth for this connection is 64 kbps. If no
argument is entered for either the data or modem keywords, the

AALATM Adaptation Layer. Service-dependent sublayer of the data link layer. The AAL accepts
data from different applications and presents it to the ATM layer in the form of 48-byte ATM payload
segments. AALs consist of two sublayers: convergence sublayer (CS) and segmentation and reassembly
(SAR). AALs differ on the basis of the source-destination timing used, whether they use constant bit
rate (CBR) or variable bit rate (VBR), and whether they are used for connection-oriented or
connectionless mode data transfer. At present, the four types of AAL recommended by the ITU-T are
AAL1, AAL2, AAL3/4, and AAL5.
ATMAsynchronous Transfer Mode. International standard for cell relay in which multiple service
types (such as voice, video, or data) are conveyed in fixed-length (53-byte) cells. Fixed-length cells
allow cell processing to occur in hardware, thereby reducing transit delays. ATM is designed to take
advantage of high-speed transmission media, such as E3, SONET, and T3.
