Core Issue

The issue is that the remote IP phone has no dial tone and does not hang up or reboot.

The Low Latency Queueing (LLQ) was correctly configured for voice. The signaling protocols, however, are not receiving sufficient priority for the phone to be properly controlled.

These are the symptoms:

  • The IP phone does not hang up after the termination of an incoming call from the private ISDN network. The End Call button needs to be pressed several times to end the call. After the End Call button is pressed, the phone reboots.
  • The IP phone produces the problem for the first time dialing to the outside line or to the central site. A dial tone is not received, even though the phone appears to have dialed the number. The Cancel button needs to be pressed several times to end the outgoing call. After this procedure, the phone reboots. When the same numbers are dialed once more, there are no problems.
  • The phone intermittently loses connectivity to Cisco CallManager.

Resolution

This situation is for home users of IP Telephony who are controlled by a centralized Cisco CallManager across an ISDN link.

LLQ was properly configured for voice but not for the signaling protocols. In this case, the signaling protocol is Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP). LLQ needs to be configured to ensure that these signaling and voice ports receive appropriate priority:

  • Real Time Protocol (RTP): User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports 16384 to 32768
  • H.225 : Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 1720
  • H.245 : TCP ports 11000+
  • SCCP: TCP 2000 2002

This is a sample configuration:

class-map match-all VoIP-Control
match access-group 104
class-map match-all VoIP-RTP
match access-group 103
