Cisco 3745 modem PPP termination via VoIP
-
I presently use a Cisco 3745 as a "TDM to VoIP" gateway. Voice telephone calls made on 7 ISDN PRI's on the 3745 are converted to SIP signalling and G.711 RTP and terminated onto a carrier's network for final call completion. Here's a "graphical" representation of a current call flow: (PBX(ISDN PRI) -> Cisco3754(converted to SIP/VoIP) -> PSTN Network) The 3745 is merely acting as a TDM to SIP/VoIP signalling and media gateway. Here is the beginning of a "SHOW VERSION" for s/w revs: Cisco IOS Software, 3700 Software (C3745-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.3(4)YE1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 1986-2004 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Thu 30-Sep-04 15:44 by kellmill ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(8r)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Here is my TWO PART question (both parts must be answered) #1 - Without interrupting the presently functionality, is the 3745 capable of taking incoming MODEM calls (i.e. modems calling in to connect PPP) via SIP/VoIP? IOW, I would like to take calls that are coming from MODEMS and terminate them into the 3745 via SIP/VoIP just like a regular access server/modem bank would answer, negotiate/handshake, assign an IP address and PPP session and allow the modem caller to access our network. (In yet another way of asking this, just for CLARITY, I would like to use the 3745 as a remote access server but connecting to modems via SIP/VoIP rather than the traditional ISDN, T1 or local phone line method). Hope this is clear! #2 - What changes need to be made to the following configuration to enable this? (Note that all identifying information has been changed to protect our network security).

Answer:
Dear mrself, You may indeed be able to transfer modem calls over VoIP. This is generally not possible because the voice compression used in most VoIP systems irretrievably degrades the modem signal. However, with a non-compressed protocol such as G.711 on a high-quality network, the signal may be preserved and used by a suitable installation. You have indicated that you do use G.711, and your high bandwidth capacity (7 PRIs) suggests that you may have the requisite quality as well. The problem is that the codecs used by VOIP ATAs are designed to compress voice, not the analog signals sent and received by modems. A second problem is if a non-compressing codec is used, the transmission will be very sensitive to network QoS, i.e., packet loss, jitter, and latency will be issues. To successfully use data modems over a VOIP connection you will need a minimum of: * A non-compressing codec - ITU G.711 is the usual choice * A very high-quality network connection voip-info.org: Modem over VOIP http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Modem+over+VOIP G.711 pass-through transports a modem signal as audio encoded samples across a network at a constant rate of 8,000 eight-bit samples per second. This equates to a constant rate of 64,000 bit/s. If reliability against IP impairments is included by means of redundancy, IP bandwidth requirements can double or even triple when using the pass-through method. CommsDesign: MoIP: Making PSTN Modems Work on IP Networks http://www.commsdesign.com/design_corner/OEG20030312S0017 Cisco documentation indicates that modem passthrough is available on your 3745 router with the addition of a High-Density Digital Voice/Fax Network Module. The network modules provide enterprises, managed service providers, and service providers with the ability to directly connect the public switched telephone network (PSTN), traditional telephony equipment (such as private branch exchange (PBX), key systems, analog telephones, and fax machines), and WAN to Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 2691, 2811, 2821, 2851, Cisco 3700 Series and Cisco 3800 Series Access Routers for either IP Communications capabilities or pure toll bypass. [...] Important Features and Benefits [...] Fax and modem passthrough: Allows fax and modem traffic to pass through a voice port. Cisco: Cisco 3700 Series Multiservice Access Routers: IP Communications Voice/Fax Network Module Datasheet http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps282/products_data_sheet09186a0080191d41.html Your IOS version is 12.3, and modem passthrough has been supported at least since the 12.1 release. The Modem Passthrough over VoIP feature performs the following functions: * Represses processing functions like compression, echo cancellation, high-pass filter, and voice activity detection (VAD). * Issues redundant packets to protect against random packet drops. * Provides static jitter buffers of 200 milliseconds to protect against clock skew. * Discriminates modem signals from voice and fax signals, indicating the detection of the modem signal across the connection, and placing the connection in a state that transports the signal across the network with the least amount of distortion. * Reliably maintains a modem connection across the packet network for a long duration under normal network conditions. Cisco: Modem Passthrough over Voice over IP: Feature Overview http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121newft/121t/121t3/dtmodptr.htm#1015329 With modem passthrough, the phone signal is converted into packets and transferred to its destination over the IP network. It must then be converted back into a phone signal for reception by a modem. When the gateway detects a data modem, both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway roll over to G.711. The roll over to G.711 disables the high-pass filter, disables echo cancellation, and disables VAD. At the end of the modem call, the voice ports revert to the prior configuration and the digital signal processor (DSP) goes back to the state before switchover. Cisco: Modem Passthrough over Voice over IP: Passthrough Switchover http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121newft/121t/121t3/dtmodptr.htm#1022993 You need to configure modem passthrough in both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway for the Modem Passthrough over VoIP feature to operate. If you configure only one of the gateways in a pair, the modem call will not connect successfully.

In this way, you incorporate a modem into the 3745, so that modem calls are converted from the PSTN into a PPP session at the router. By combining a T1 channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) WAN interface card, an analog modem network module, and possibly voice over IP, the Cisco 2600, 3600 and 3700 can provide a one-chassis solution to all branch office requirements. [...] Cisco IOS dial access software-Cisco IOS software provides a broad range of features for the dial-in user, including: ?- Autosensing IPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA), AppleTalk Control Protocol (ATCP) ?- Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), PPP, and MP ?- Reverse Telnet support for LAN-based dial-out ?- Domain Name System (DNS) Domain Name Server support These features enable a wide variety of dial-in clients to utilize the applications and facilities of the branch office network. Cisco: Cisco 2600/3600/3700 Series Analog Modem Network Modules: Data Sheet http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_data_sheet09186a00801b1c38.html Only modem passthrough lets you take advantage of free global IP to carry your modem calls, but then you will need a gateway at each end of the connection. Adding the Analog Modem Network Module lets your 3745 accept modem calls from any client on the PSTN.
