I did start a thread on CLI based on this router but have not come to any solid conclusion apart from this is looking like a fault, however I'm hoping now someone can point me as to where this fault lies.
I originally had caller ID issues. I live in England and believe, with guidance from this forum and other online posts, that I have correctly configured the FXO interface for my provider (BT). Also, I have tried variants of the below configuration, setting cptone to US (default) but of course this had no effect and either did not change the outcome or it made things worse. As this is a home-lab router, it is unimportant although an annoyance. My FXO configuration is below:
voice-port 0/1/0
trunk-group POTS
supervisory disconnect anytone
cptone GB
timing sup-disconnect 85
connection plar opx 3162
impedance complex3
description PSTNtoSkyBT
caller-id enable
caller-id alerting line-reversal
caller-id alerting dsp-pre-allocate
My symptoms:
Caller ID works, however the specific issue is that if I do not receive a call for a few hours when a call arrives caller ID is not picked up. After you end that call, if you immediately call the line, caller ID is picked up on every new call. Until there is a lack of calls for a few hours or more. For example, no one calls me during the late hours of the night. When a call comes in the next day the caller ID displays "unknown". In the logs you see "cgn:" showing no caller ID received.
Here is the log showing the issue:
000113: Oct 11 19:20:31.011 GMT: %VOIPAAA-5-VOIP_FEAT_HISTORY: FEAT_VSA=fn:TWC,ft:10/11/2011 19:20:22.295,cgn:,cdn:1001,frs:0,fid:14,fcid:844F373EF36C11E08035CE6F4B604ED0,legID:E,bguid:844F373EF36C11E08035CE6F4B604ED0
000117: Oct 11 19:22:59.003 GMT: %VOIPAAA-5-VOIP_FEAT_HISTORY: FEAT_VSA=fn:TWC,ft:10/11/2011 19:22:50.851,cgn:07738xxxxx0,cdn:1001,frs:0,fid:16,fcid:DCDB01BFF36C11E08040CE6F4B604ED0,legID:10,bguid:DCDB01BFF36C11E08040CE6F4B604ED0
As you can see, two minutes later and the caller ID is received.
I know my POTS line has caller ID on each call because I have a caller ID unit which sits on the POTS line to display caller ID specifically. It is an old unit from the late 90s, but works every time!
As well as trying all different variations of voice-port configuration, I have tried CME versions 7.1, 8.6 and now 8.8. Each has the same issue.
I have also swapped my DSP chip to the next slot on the main board.
I have also switched FXO ports (VIC2-2FXO)
Lastly I have also moved the FXO card from slot 0 on the chassis to one of the other slots, where it currently resides, each without change.
This is beginning to lead me to think that possibly my FXO card is faulty? Would anyone be in agreement with this? What are the possibilities of this being a faulty DSP chip? I ask because of the "dsp-pre-allocate" command under the FXO interface.
I would really like to have this working first time every time. I would like some guidance before I buy another VIC2-2FXO, in case it is unnecessary. I'm probably not going to be able to buy a PVDM3 though.
Thank you,
Regards,
Tony
