Receiving Q931 Voice traffic on ISDN to AS5400

[happykiran]

We are trying to get a switch with Q.931 output to send traffic to us. The switch is an ECT switch that uses NMS voice cards. The switch is sending traffic to PSTN termination and it is working well. However, when it sends traffic to As5300 or AS5400, the called digits seem to be truncated. We have debugged the call using debug isdn q931 and debug voice ccapi inout. It appears that the call cycle is being completed, but the calls are not going through because called digits are not being fully received by the CISCO GW. Eg the number being called is 00442075709976, but the numbers being received at the CISCO GW are 004420757. We are seeking urgent solutions. Can any one help?

[pacameron]

router configs? debug ISDN q931 logs ?

Can't help without more information.

Looking at the following log, It is evident that the Telco switch is sending all the digits. But the Setup_ack is sent by as5400 even before all the digits are completely received. Please help me out.

[a.fink · Accepted solution]

the problem you are having is that the switch doesnt send you the full number en-block but in overlap mode. This means as soon as the switch knows the call is for you without knowing all the following digits, the call is switched to your AS5400. This is a big difference between europe (where number length is usually more or less variable) and USA (where its fixed).

you can fix this problem by doing the following:

isdn overlap-receiving

(without the other parameters)

and make your dial peers not match any destination until you got the full length number. Your dial peers have direct-inward-dial and dial-pattern 00T. This means as soon as the prefix 00 is matched, the call is established further.

As you can see in your debug, you get '004420740', and the information messages with the additional digits. As '004420740', already matches 00T, the call is already progressed to the VoIP cloud. The destination network will then be feeded with the following digits to come which is fine as long as it understands them. Now some older VoIP H323 equipment cant handle overlap digits following so you should not proceed into the VoIP cloud unless you have received all digits. In this case you do:

destination-pattern 004420740.....

(add as many dots as there are digits)

or you add the full number instead to be matched.

if your problem is that the additional digits are simply not forwarded to the remote VoIP peer even it would understand overlap sending, then you can try:

voice service voip

signaling forward unconditional

A few info's from your trace:

a) your sending switch doesnt know how long the number should be. there's no indication about the end of the number. If he would know you would get "SENDING COMPLETE" information with the last digit.

b) your device doesnt know it either as otherwhise it would signal sending complete back on the last digit received to indicate that it wont accept any furtther digits.

there's nothing wrong with that though. Maybe only your remote device how long the number will be. Really depends on the application and networks used.
