Introduction
This document provides customers using Quintum Tenors the necessary information (as an
example) to configure their Tenors to originate or terminate calls to/from a Cisco VoIP
Gatewaywithout the use of external Gatekeeper registration.
This document includes sample applications along with sample configurations for the Tenor.
Where possible, we will also provide sample Cisco Dial Peers. Quintum, however, cannot be
responsible for configuring any Cisco equipment directly and can only provide this information
based on our current customers who are using Cisco.
This document is intended to be used by those technicians that have experience with both Cisco
and Quintum. This document pertains to both 1G and 2G Tenors.
First Generation Tenor (or 1G Tenor) refers to Tenor A400, A800, D800, D1800, D2400,
and D3000.
Second Generation Tenor (or 2G Tenor) refers to Tenor CMS, as well as Tenor AS, AX,
BX, and DX.
The information provided here is only an example. Your application requirements may be
different, but you should be able to use this as a guideline. Additionally, while some of this
description provides information on the line configurations (such as signaling and type, etc.), the
main focus is to provide the necessary information to route calls to/from a Cisco. The connection
after that may vary.
Finally, this document will provide 2 examples. The first is Cisco terminating VoIP to a Tenor,
and the second is a Tenor terminating VoIP to a Cisco.
Required Information
Before setting up this application, or any other, there is always information that you should gather
so that you can be prepared and understand how you will need to configure your Tenor, and your
Cisco. For analog and digital Tenors, Quintum has a site survey form that you may find useful
(check our web site for these forms); otherwise, the following information should be identified at
a minimum:
IP address of all devices (Tenors & Cisco, etc.)
Audio codec/compression to be used
Dial/number patterns to be sent over IP
Dial/number patterns to be dialed out to PSTN
Disconnect supervision and answer supervision requirements
Digital line information (physical configuration and signaling requirements)

Cisco Terminating VoIP to Tenor(s) (Cisco > VoIP > Tenor)
Figure 1
Application Description
As shown in Figure 1 above, this application has a Cisco Gateway in New York (there could be
more there) and 3 Tenors in different countries. This mix will help to provide additional examples
for future reference.
1G: There are 2 analog A400s (Romania & Egypt) and one D2400 (Portugal).
2G: There are 2 Tenor AXs (Romania & Egypt) and one Tenor DX (Portugal).
Each Tenor is connected to the local phone company using either analog lines (Analog sites) or a
T1 using ISDN signaling (Digital site). The call flow is as follows:
Calls from the Provider switch in New York are sent to the Cisco, and the Cisco routes the call,
using its dial peers, using the number pattern of 0111+countrycode+number.
At each termination country, the Tenor makes sure that the correct digits are dialed out to the
local phone company.
The Cisco must be configured never to allow more calls to any one site than that site can handle
at one time (for example, send only 4 calls at a time to the A400s).
An audio codec of G.729 is used for this network and answer supervision is provided by the
Tenors at the termination side.
Finally, for VoIP security, the Tenors are configured with IP allow tables so that only those IP
addresses configured are allowed to make VoIP calls through the Tenor.
1
Sending the international prefix, or any non-E164 digit/character, is a violation of the H.323 specification.
The Tenor can address this in most cases. See the Appendix for more information on the E.164 format as
it relates to H.323.

Tenor Configuration and Notes

The following configuration information takes into consideration that the Tenor is at factory
default with no previous configuration loaded. Only the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway are configured.
All configuration is done from the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Not all configuration items are shown; only those items necessary to this application.
Additionally, if a command is shown without any parameter, this means that you should enter the
command only, so that any pre-configured setting is deleted. For example, if you enter the
command areacode without any parameters, it will delete the set area code.
Finally, the following configurations are laid out so that an engineer/technician that has
experience with configuring Tenors will be able to understand this. If you have no experience
with configuring Tenors from the Command Line Interface, we suggest you contact the QTAC
for support.
Site A Romania (Analog Tenor)
Site A has 4 analog lines connected from the local PSTN to its PSTN interface, and uses both our
answer supervision software and forward disconnect (battery removal) for disconnect
supervision.
This site terminates all calls to the 40 country code with a city code of 232.

Disables the modem bypass setting.
Sets the channel hunting to Ascending

Round-Robin. This is useful on analog so
that the calls will hunt in a round-robin
fashion. This way, if there is one line that is
failing, it will only be attempted 1 out of 4
times (or 8 if this were an A800). See the
CLI guide on this command for more
information.
This sets the first lampattern (hop-off) to
match on 01140232. In this case, no
replacement is necessary. When a call
comes in to this unit where the digits match
this pattern, the matching digits of the
incoming call are deleted from the number
and the remaining digits are sent to the
PSTN lines. For example, if
011402321234567 were sent to this Tenor,
it would match the pattern of 01140232 and
the matching digits would be deleted. Only
1234567 would be dialed to the PSTN.
Only characters 0 through 9, *, # are valid.
This sets the signaling to Loop Start with
Forward Disconnect. The Forward
Disconnect is disconnect supervision
based on battery removal. The local PSTN
must support this type of disconnect
supervision and use it when the far end
hangs up the phone. When this is done,
the PSTN removes the battery from this
line and the Tenor disconnects the call.
Check with your PSTN provider on this.
supervision 2
answerdelay 45000
This enables software-based answer

supervision in theTenor.
This sets 45000 milliseconds (45 seconds)

as the time the Tenor waits to use the
software-based answer supervision. If the
Tenor fails to detect voice after this time
has run out, the Tenor considers the call
connected.
NOTE: If the unit was at factory default, then all channels should be enabled already and there is
no need to change the channels.

Round-Robin. This is useful on

round-robin fashion. This way if there
is one line that is failing, it will only be
attempted 1 out of 4 times (or 8 if this

this command for more information.
This sets the first lampattern (hop-off)
to match on 01120. In this case, no
replacement is necessary. When a
call comes in to this unit where the
digits match this pattern, the matching
digits of the incoming call will be
deleted from the number and the
remaining digits will be sent to the
PSTN lines. For example, if
011202321234567 were sent to this
Tenor, it would match the pattern of
01120 and the matching digits would
be deleted. So only 321234567 would
remain of the number dialed. Only
characters 0 through 9, *, # are valid.
The lamrep will add digits to the
number after the lampat digits are
deleted off. Using the example above,
since 01120321234567 matched the
2G
config-HopoffNumber

above lampat, the digits 01120 would

be deleted off leaving only
321234567. This lamrep would then
add 0 to the front of the number
making it 0321234567 and these
digits would be dialed to the PSTN.
1G

This will enable software-based

answer supervision in the Tenor as
well as disconnect tone detection from
the PSTN. The disconnect tone
detection is used when the PSTN will
send a tone to the Tenor to indicate
that the far end has disconnected the
call. When set correctly, the Tenor will
be able to detect this and disconnect
the line upon receiving the tones.
This will set 45000 milliseconds (45
seconds) the time the Tenor will wait
to use the software based answer
supervision. If the Tenor fails to
detect voice after this time has run
out, the Tenor will consider the call
connected.

This is the normal channel hunting for
ISDN.
This sets the first lampattern (hop-off)
to match on 01135196 In this case, no
replacement is necessary. When a call
comes in to this unit where the digits
match this pattern, the matching digits
of the incoming call will be deleted from
the number and the remaining digits
will be sent to the PSTN lines. For
example, if 011351961234567 were
sent to this Tenor, it would match the
pattern of 01135196 and the matching
digits would be deleted. So only
1234567 would remain of the number
dialed. Since there is no lamrep, then
1234567 would be dialed to the PSTN.
Only characters 0 through 9, *, # are
valid.
This sets the PSTN trunkgroup to use
CCS (ISDN) for signaling.
This sets the voice law on line 1 (PBX)
to A-Law. Since this country requires
A-Law, you must set this Tenor for Alaw. Additionally, even though we are
not using the PBX interface, the law
must be configured the same in both
the PBX and PSTN interface or there
will be problems.

correct when connected to the PSTN
as the PSTN will be network side. If
you are connecting to a switch at your
location, you may need to check with
your switch settings for this as the
Tenor should be set opposite of what it
is connecting to.

Cisco Dial Peer Examples

The following dial peer examples are based on information from existing Quintum customers
who are using Cisco to originate traffic to Tenors as the above examples show. Quintum cannot
configure a customers Cisco equipment and we can not guarantee that the dial peers listed below
will work in all occasions. As always, you should verify these settings with Cisco.
Dial Peer to Site A Romania
The following sample dial peer will allow any calls that begin with 01140232 + 6 digits to be sent
to 192.168.10.10 with a codec of G.729.

Cisco GW > Tenor GW Summary

Using the configuration above as an example, you should find it relatively easy to configure the
Tenor to receive a call from a Cisco and terminate it to the local PSTN lines.
Page 14 of 27
Tenor Terminating Calls to Cisco Gateway
Figure 2
Application Description
As shown in Figure 2 above, this application will have a Cisco Gateway in New York that will
receive traffic from IP (from Tenors) in Morocco and Taiwan.
1G: The Tenor in Morocco is a digital Tenor with an E1 connection (ISDN) and the Tenor in
Taiwan is an A400 with 4 lines from the local PSTN.
2G: The Tenor in Morocco is a Tenor DX with an E1 connection (ISDN) and the Tenor in
Taiwan is a Tenor AX with 4 lines from the local PSTN.
In Morocco, calls will come in to the Digital Tenor with the digits of 001xxxxxxxxxx2 and we
will pass these digits over IP to the Cisco (001xxxxxxx).
For Taiwan, we will use 2nd dialtone and simple Pincode verification to allow incoming calls
from the PSTN to get a dial tone and then dial 1xxxxxxxxxx. The Tenor will then need to add 00
to the front of the number to send the call to the Cisco.
An audio codec of G.729 will be used for this application.
The Tenors will be configured not to accept any calls from IP for this application.
Unfortunately, Quintum does not have a sample Cisco dial peer to address this application.
Please contact Cisco to get the correct parameters on this.
Sending the international prefix, or any non-E164 digit/character, is a violation of the H.323 specification.
The Tenor can address this in most cases. See Appendix for more information on the E.164 format as it
relates to H.323.
Page 15 of 27
Tenor Configuration and Notes

The following configuration information takes into consideration that the Tenor is at factory
default with no previous configuration loaded. Only the IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway are configured.
All configuration will be done from the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Not all configuration items are shown. Only those necessary to this application will be shown.
Additionally, if a command is shown with out any parameter, this means to enter the command
only so that any pre-configured setting will be deleted. For example, entering the command
areacode without any parameters will delete the set area code.
Finally, the following configurations are laid out so that an engineer/technician that has
experience with configuring Tenors will be able to understand this. If you have no experience
with configuring Tenors from the Command Line Interface, we suggest you contact the QTAC
for support.
Site A Morocco (Digital Tenor)
Site A will have an E1 line connected from the local PSTN to its PSTN interface set as ISDN/PRI
(ETSI signaling). Answer and disconnect supervision on part of ISDN signaling and nothing
specific need be done for this.
This site will receive calls from this E1 line that will have the digits 001xxxxxxxxxx and these
calls will need to be forwarded to the Cisco in New York with the 001 digits.

this trunk group. It will not allow any
outgoing calls.
This sets the PSTN trunkgroup to use
CCS (ISDN) for signaling.
NOTE: If the unit was at factory default, then all channels should be enabled already and no
need to change the channels.
This sets the voice law on line 1 (PBX) to
A-Law. Since this country requires ALaw, you must set this Tenor for A-law.
Additionally, even though we are not
using the PBX interface, the law must be
configured the same in both the PBX and

Sets the orientation of the ISDN on the

Tenor to User side. This is typically
correct when connected to the PSTN as
the PSTN will be network side. If you are
connecting to a switch at your location,
you may need to check with your switch
settings for this as the Tenor should be
set opposite of what it is connecting to.
Sets the D-channel (ISDN signaling
channel) to channel 16 on the E1. E1s
always use channel 16 for the D-channel
while T1s use channel 24 when set for
ISDN.
Sets the unit id to 1. Anywhere in the
Tenor where you see unit, it will always
be 1.
Sets the ISDN line to line 2 (PSTN). This

allows this signaling group to be
associated with the PSTN interface.
NOTE: You may need to go back to the pstntg and enable all the channels now, since changing
from T1 to E1 may not add the additional 6 channels. The command to do this is ena 1 a.

recommends that when building sroutes

simplest way to route calls. If this route
was to another Tenor, then you could
pick whether it is an LDN or LAM. The
priority is normally set to 2 for LDNs and
1 for LAMs (1 being a lower priority). The
priority will help in providing routes where
the number pattern is the same, but you
want all calls to go to one destination

This sets the type of route to a Gateway

Site B Taiwan (Analog Tenor)

Site B will have 4 analog lines connected from the local PSTN to its PSTN interface. Calls will
come in to the Tenor from the PSTN, get a beep tone to enter a 8 digit pin that must begin with
8345 and then receive 2nd dialtone and then dial 1xxxxxxxxxx. The Tenor will then add 00 to the
front of the number and send 001xxxxxxxxxx to the Cisco in NY.

interface, they will hear a beep tone.
When they here this they must enter the
correct pin code. If they enter a wrong
pincode, they will hear a busy signal and
get disconnected.
This sets the signaling to Loop Start with
forward disconnect. With this setting, the
Tenor will recognize the removal of
battery that is sent by the PSTN to
indicate that the call is disconnected. The
PSTN must support this type of
disconnect supervision.

Appendix
Extract of Appendix V of the ITU-T H.323 Version 4 Draft (11/2000)
Use of E.164 and ISO/IEC 11571 Numbering Plans
V.1 E.164 Numbering plan
ITU-T Recommendation defines E.164 numbers the following way for geographic areas:
Figure V.1/H.323 - International public telecommunication number structure for geographic areas
Similar descriptions are also defined for non-geographic areas. Recommendation E.164 further
defines country codes (CC) for all the countries and regions of the world.
An international E.164 number always starts with a country code and its total length is always 15
digits or less. More importantly, it does not include any prefixes that are part of a dialing plan
(for example, 011 for an international call placed in North America, or 1 for a long-distance
call), nor does it include # or *. The number 49 30 345 67 00 is a n E.164 number with
CC=49 for Germany. A national number is the international number stripped of the country code,
30 345 67 00 in this case. The subscriber number is the national number stripped of the
national destination code, 345 67 00 in this case.
An E.164 number has global significance: E.164 number can be reached from any location in the
world. A dialed digit sequence, however, only has significance within a specific domain.
Within a typical private numbering plan in an enterprise, for example, a prefix, such as 9, may
indicate that a call goes outside, at which point the local telephone companys dialing plan
takes over. Each telephone company or private network is free to choose its own dialing plan. It
is also free to change it as it pleases an frequently does so (adding new area codes, for
example).
In a typical geographically determined network where user input telephone numbers manually
and where user do not travel too much, having different dialing plans everywhere is usually a
problem. However, when a user travels, the user must determine the other networks numbering
plan in order to place calls. When computer systems perform the dialing automatically, the user
is usually required to customize the dialing software for every region or network.
Because of these issues with varying dialing plans and automated dialing, it is essential to be able
to refer to an absolute telephone number instead of what you have to dial to reach it from a
specific location. Proper usage of E.164 numbers can resolve these issues. Many systems use
E.164 numbers instead of dialed digits: for example, a PBX may gather the dialed digits from a
Page 24 of 27
user on a telephone and then initiate a call to the local phone company using an E.164 number in
the Called Party Number information element in Q.931. When completing the Called Party
Number IE< specifying the numbering plan as ISDN/telephony numbering plan
(Recommendation E.164) indicates an E.164 number. Specifying the type of number as
unknown and specifying the numbering plan as unknown indicates dialed digits.
The following are a set of definitions from E.164.
Number
A string of decimal digits that uniquely indicates the public network termination point. The
number contains the information necessary to route the call to this termination point.
A number can be in a format determined nationally or in an international format. The
international format is known as the International Public Telecommunication Number which
includes the country code and subsequent digits, but no the international prefix.
Numbering plan
A numbering plan specifies the format and structure of the numbers used within that plan. It
typically consists of decimal digits segmented into groups in order to identify specific elements
used for identification, routing and charging capabilities, e.g. within E.164 to identify countries,
national destinations, and subscribers.
A numbering plan does not include prefixes, suffixes, and additional information required to
complete a call.
The national numbering plan is the national implementation of the E.164 numbering plan.
Dialing plan
A string or combination of decimal digits, symbols, and additional information that define the
method by which the numbering plan is used. A dialing plan includes the use of prefixes,
suffixes, and additional information, supplemental to the numbering plan, required to complete
the call.
Address
A string or combination of decimal digits, symbols, and additional information which identifies
the specific termination point(s) of a connection in a public network(s) or, where applicable, in
interconnected private network(s).
Prefix
A prefix is an indicator consisting of one or more digits, that allows the selection of different
types of number formats, networks and/or service.
International prefix
A digit or combination of digits used to indicate that the number following is an International
Public Telecommunication Number.
Country code (CC) for geographic areas
The combination of one, two or three digits identifying a specific country, countries in an
integrated number plan, or a specific geographic area.
Page 25 of 27
National (significant) number [N(S)N]

That portion of the number that follows the country code for geographic areas. The national
(significant) number consists of the National Destination Code (NDC) followed by the Subscriber
Number (SN). The function and format of the N(S)N is nationally determined.
National destination code (NDC)
A nationally optional code field, within the E.164 numbering plan, which combined with the
Subscribers Number (SN) will constitute the national (significant) number of the international
public telecommunication number for geographic areas. The NDC will have a network and/or
trunk code selection function.
The NDC can be a decimal digit or a combination of decimal digits (not including any prefix)
identifying a numbering area within a country (or group of countries included in one integrated
numbering plan or a specific geographic area) and/or network/services.
National (trunk) prefix
A digit or combination of digits used by a calling subscriber, making a call to a subscriber in his
own country but outside his own numbering area. It provides access to the automatic outgoing
trunk equipment.
Subscriber number (SN)
The number identifying a subscriber in a network or numbering area.
V.2 Private Network Number

Private Network Numbers are used in a private or virtual private telephony networks, e.g., a
corporate network of PBXs and virtual private lines.
ISO/IEC 11571 defines Private Network Number (PNP) as having up to three regional levels.
A PNP number shall comprise a sequence of x decimal digits (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) with the
possibility that different PNP numbers within the same PNP can have different values of x. Then
maximum value of x shall be the same as for the public ISDN numbering plan, see ITU-T
Recommendation E.164.
Level 2 Regional Number
Figure V.2/H.323 Structure of a PNP number with three levels of regions
A level n Regional Number (RN) shall have significance only within the level n region to which
it applies. When that number is used outside that level n region, it shall be in the form of an RN
of level greater than n. Only a Complete Number shall have significance throughout the entire
PNP.
A typical example in North America would be a 4-digit extension as the Level 0 Regional
Number: a 3-digit location code combined with the 4 digit extension would form the Level 1
Regional Number. The Level 2 Regional Number would be nil.
A prefix could also be used to signal which regional number is used, and would not be part of the
regional number per se, but only part of the dialing plan. Again, a typical example would be the
Page 26 of 27
use of digit 6 to access a Level 1 Regional Number, and no digit for a Level 0 Regional
Number.
The following are a set of definitions from ISO/IEC 11571:
Private Numbering Plan (PNP)
The numbering plan explicitly relating to a particular private numbering domain, defined by the
PISN Administrator of that domain.
Region
The entire domain or a sub-domain of a PNP. A region does not necessarily correspond to a
geographical area of PISN.
Regional Number (RN)
A particular form of a PNP Number which is unambiguous in the region concerned.
Complete Number
A number which is unambiguous in the entire PNP, i.e. which corresponds to the highest regional
level employed in that PISN.
V.3 H.323 version 1, 2 and 3 usage

H.323 version 1, 2 and 3 systems had a terminology problem with respect to dialed digits and real
E.164 numbers. References to E.164 addresses in those version actually referred to dialed digits
and not E.164 digits, as the names of the fields implied. In H.323 versions 2 and 3 systems, a real
E.164 number was placed in the publicNumber field and not in the e164 field. The e164 field
thus corresponded to a dialed digits sequence.
Beginning with H.323 Version 4 systems, the field e164 was renamed to dialedDigits and the
field publicNumber was renamed to e164Number. The name change was intended to more
explicitly convey that dialed digits shall be stored in the dialedDigits field and the E.164 numbers
shall be stored in the e164Number field.
