Verifying Voice Ports

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Check for dial tone (FXS only). Check for DTMF tones (FXS only). Use the show voice port command to check the configuration. Use the show voice port command to ensure that the port is enabled. Be sure that the PBX configuration is compatible with the voice port. Check the physical installation of the hardware.

Types of Dial Peers

A dial peer is an addressable call endpoint. Dial peers establish logical connections, called call legs, to complete an end-to-end call. Cisco voice-enabled routers support two types of dial peers:
POTS dial peers: Define the characteristics of a traditional telephony network connection VoIP dial peers: Define the characteristics of a packet network connection

Common Destination-Pattern Options

+
(Optional) Character indicating an E.164 standard number.

string

Series of digits that specify a pattern for the E.164 or private dialing plan telephone number. Valid entries are the digits 0 through 9, the letters A through D, and the following special characters: The asterisk (*) and pound sign (#) that appear on standard touch-tone dial pads. Comma (,), which inserts a pause between digits. Period (.), which matches any entered digit (this character is used as a wildcard). Percent sign (%), which indicates that the preceding digit occurred zero or more times; similar to the wildcard usage. Plus sign (+), which indicates that the preceding digit occurred one or more times. Circumflex (^), which indicates a match to the beginning of the string. Dollar sign ($), which matches the null string at the end of the input string. Backslash symbol (\), which is followed by a single character, and matches that character. Can be used with a single character with no other significance (matching that character). Question mark (?), which indicates that the preceding digit occurred either zero times or one time. Brackets ([ ]) indicate a range. Parentheses (( )), which indicate a pattern. (Optional) Control character indicating that the value is a variable-length dial string. Using this control character enables the router to wait until all digits are received before routing the call. VoIP - JVM2012

Matching Inbound Dial Peers

Configurable parameters used for matching inbound dial peers:
incoming called-number: Defines the called number or DNIS string answer-address: Defines the originating calling number or ANI string destination-pattern: Uses the calling number (originating or ANI string) to match the incoming call leg to an inbound dial peer Port: Attempts to match the configured dial-peer port to the voice port that is associated with the incoming call (POTS dial peers only)
