How to verify voice channels on voice gateway

Randy Calderon
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I am in the testing phase of deploying a 2921 voice gateway with 2 PRIs. After connecting the T1s, how do I verify if all the channels are up and ready for use? Also, how do I verify if clocking on the T1 interfaces are configured correctly?

This 2921 is a replacement for a 2811 currently being used. When I login to the 2811 via SSH, I see this:

560240: Aug 13 20:37:24.368: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:3 is now connected to 3854143418 N/A
560241: Aug 13 20:37:24.368: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:3 is now connected to 3854143418 N/A
560242: Aug 13 20:37:24.544: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:5 is now connected to 7753428028 N/A
560243: Aug 13 20:37:24.544: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:5 is now connected to 7753428028 N/A
560244: Aug 13 20:37:27.128: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:4 is now connected to 7753296300 N/A
560245: Aug 13 20:37:27.128: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:4 is now connected to 7753296300 N/A
560246: Aug 13 20:37:27.128: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:22 is now connected to 3296300 N/A
560247: Aug 13 20:37:27.128: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:22 is now connected to 3296300 N/A
560248: Aug 13 20:37:27.652: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:20 is now connected to 3525101 N/A
560249: Aug 13 20:37:27.652: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/0:20 is now connected to 3525101 N/A
560250: Aug 13 20:37:30.320: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/1:22 is now connected to 3525101 N/A
560251: Aug 13 20:37:30.320: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/2/1:22 is now connected to 3525101 N/A


How do I do that with the 2921 in an SSH session? I've enabled "logging monitor" and "term mon" but I still can't see messages like that.

I thank you very much for your time.

Hello,

To check clocking you can use the "show network-clock" command. For example:

SiteA-RTR#show network-clock
  Network Clock Configuration
  ---------------------------
  Priority      Clock Source    Clock State     Clock Type

     1          T1 0/0/0        GOOD            T1
    10          Backplane       GOOD            PLL

  Current Primary Clock Source
  ---------------------------
  Priority      Clock Source    Clock State     Clock Type

     1          T1 0/0/0        GOOD            T1

 

The above is an example of a "good" configuration, assuming that T1 0/0/0 is the controller terminating the line from your carrier. In your case, it would be T1 0/2/0 or 0/2/1. You can also look at "show controller t1 [interface]" (e.g. show controller t1 0/2/0) and pay particular attention to "Line Code Violations", "Slip Secs", and "Errored Secs" counters. Note that the "Clock Source Line" status in the "show controller t1" command is not enough to verify you have proper clocking. 

Example of a "bad" clock scenario:

 

SiteA-RTR(config-voiceport)#do sh controller t1 0/0/0
T1 0/0/0 is up.
  Applique type is Channelized T1
  Cablelength is long 0db
  No alarms detected.
  alarm-trigger is not set
  Soaking time: 3, Clearance time: 10
  AIS State:Clear  LOS State:Clear  LOF State:Clear
  Version info Firmware: 20080918, FPGA: 13, spm_count = 0
  Framing is ESF, Line Code is B8ZS, Clock Source is Line.
  CRC Threshold is 320. Reported from firmware  is 320.
  Data in current interval (483 seconds elapsed):
     3 Line Code Violations, 4 Path Code Violations
     207 Slip Secs, 0 Fr Loss Secs, 0 Line Err Secs, 0 Degraded Mins
     206 Errored Secs, 0 Bursty Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Secs, 109 Unavail Secs

 

To make sure the clock is set correctly, look at the "network-clock-participate" and the "network-clock-select" commands.

For the ISDN status information, you can use "show isdn status". For example:

SiteA-RTR(config)#do sh isdn stat
Global ISDN Switchtype = primary-ni

%Q.931 is backhauled to CCM MANAGER 0x0003 on DSL 0. Layer 3 output may not apply

ISDN Serial0/0/0:23 interface
        dsl 0, interface ISDN Switchtype = primary-ni
        L2 Protocol = Q.921 0x0000  L3 Protocol(s) = CCM MANAGER 0x0003
    Layer 1 Status:
        ACTIVE
    Layer 2 Status:
        TEI = 0, Ces = 1, SAPI = 0, State = MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED
    Layer 3 Status:
        0 Active Layer 3 Call(s)
    Active dsl 0 CCBs = 0
    The Free Channel Mask:  0x800000FF
    Number of L2 Discards = 0, L2 Session ID = 15

*Note: The above is output from a gateway provisioned to use MGCP.

For all gateways, just make sure that Layer 1 is "ACTIVE" and that Layer 2 has "MULTIPLE_FRAME_ESTABLISHED".

You can also use the "show isdn service" command to look at status for individual B-channels.

SiteA-Rtr#sh isdn service
PRI Channel Statistics:

%Q.931 is backhauled to CCM MANAGER 0x0003 on DSL 0. Layer 3 output may not appl

ISDN Se0/0/0:23, Channel [1-24]
  Configured Isdn Interface (dsl) 0
   Channel State (0=Idle 1=Proposed 2=Busy 3=Reserved 4=Restart 5=Maint_Pend)
    Channel :  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4
    State   :  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3
   Service State (0=Inservice 1=Maint 2=Outofservice 8=MaintPend 9=OOSPend)
    Channel :  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4
    State   :  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2

Use the "Channel State" and "Service State" to verify things are what you expect.

try to get status of voice port by this command:

 

sh voice port summary

 

for the clocking, you can issue:

 

show controller {t1 | e1} controller-number

this wil tell you how clocking is configured

for ssh:

can you try by  giving command "logging on" , and then check the debug.

 

regards

Chintan

 

Hello Chintan,

If the ADMIN status is up and the OPER status is up or dorm, does that mean the channel has been configured correctly and is ready for use?

 

Thank you.

 

thanks.....Chintan
