The far end device is Ericsson Switch in Bangladesh based on ITU-T Q.421/Digital R2 signaling. So I use Cisco default setting, "ITU" in the country parametter and it doesn't show in the configuration.

In Backward Signals, Group A-3 is for "Address complete, change over to reception of B signals". I didn't see it in Cisco log(VoIP-->E1).

The far end Switch also got Seizure ACK(Bit=1011), but it got the Bit 1000 during the silence after Seizure ACK.

I also enable dnis-complete, but it doesn't help. What other parametters could reduce the delay? Thank you.

Hi, the reality is nobody uses the too generic "itu standard" and each country has his own customization. For bangladesh, I would try country india.

If that doesn't help we can look at the trace in detail.

Thanks for your assistance.

Actually, I tried India as the Country but it got signal failure.

Hi,

Most of time is spent sending the full ANI, are you supposed to send it in full ?

Also I'm trying to understand what is digit "16" sent in between digits and if it mandatory to do so.

Exactly. I don't need to send the ANI in this case. But how to disable it on AS5350(I don't configure ANI for E1 as ds0-group 0 timeslots 1 type r2-digital r2-compelled ONLY)? or it has to be done on the Switch side?

I'm also confusing on the msg which is different to AS5300. If we can remove "digit 16" then it will save half time in sending digits.

And is there any way to shorten the interval of sending digits. It takes 300ms for every digits.

Thank you again.

Try removing ani in ds0-group command.

To shorten digit

voice-port 3/2:0

timing digit 100

Ok, did a bit of research.

I don't think you can shorten the digit send time, because you're using compelled, this means the switch will invite router with a backward signal "16" to send the next digit. If it was not-compelled or semi-compelled, probably it would be possible to shorten digit time.

Bingo,I removed the ANI and now the delay is much better.

I will ask the Switch operator to set up non-compelled instead. I think I can't use it right now coz i got disconnect immediately(Cause Value=42). By Semi-Compelled,it's working but the delay is same as Compelled.

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome. I take R2 like an hobby because it's so obscure.

Out of curiosity, if you can talk to the switch guys, what do they say if you ask for PRI? Why are they still using something that has roots in the 30's ?

Yes, I also asked them to provide PRI but they can't.

Honestly,I don't like R2 at all and don't want to spend too much time on it. But I still spent a lot of time.

Fortunately, I found out the reason with your assistance. Appreciate for that.
