V.110 Support for Cisco 3600 Series Digital
Modems
This feature implements the V.110 protocol on Cisco digital modem network modules (NM-6DM,
NM-12DM, NM-18DM, NM-24DM, and NM-30DM) for the Cisco 3600 series of routers, and provides
V.110 support for digital modems connected over BRI or PRI interfaces.

Feature Overview
V.110 is a real-time method of encapsulating varying data rates and the associated RS-232 signals into
a 64-Kbps ISDN B-channel. Using this procedure, asynchronous data rates from 600 bps to 38.4 Kpbs
can be transparently rate-adapted over a single 64-Kbps channel.
Benefits
V.110 is useful for transporting data over GSM-type mobile phones. V.110 over ISDN support is being
added to the MARS platform to support digital modems in many countries which use E1 with ISDN.
V.110, as an alternative to V.120, is a method of ISDN rate adaption. It provides DTEs with V-series
type interfaces with access to ISDN networks by bit stuffing. Many V.110 devices are used in Europe
and Japan.
The V.110 recommendation of the ITU-T rate adapts a low-speed connection to an ISDN B-channel,
allowing the remote station or terminal adapter to use the fast call-setup times offered by ISDN. This
feature enables Global System for Communications (GSM) wireless connectivity.

Configuration Tasks
There are no configuration tasks. All commands in this feature are existing show modem commands
with modified display output.
NoteCisco 3600 series routers require Low Layer Compatability (LLC) information from the
Telco switch. If you have problems setting up your connection, verify that the Telco switch
supports LLC.

show modem
To display a high-level performance report for all modems or a single modem, use the show modem
EXEC command.
show modem [slot/port | group number]
show modem
Syntax Description
slot/port(Optional) Specifies the location of a slot and modem port. Remember to
include the forward slash (/) when entering this variable.
group number(Optional) Specifies a modem group to which a specified modem belongs.
The group number range is 1 to 200.
DefaultsThere are no default behaviors or values for this command.

Examples
Router# show modem
Codes:
* - Modem has an active call
R - Modem is being Reset
D - Download in progress
B - Modem is marked bad and cannot be used for taking calls
b - Modem is either busied out or shut-down
Table 1 describes the fields shown in the previous displays of the show modem command.
Ta b le 1s h ow mo d e m Field Descriptions
FieldDescription
MdmSlot and modem port number. Also, the following modem states can appear
to the left of a slot/modem port number:
• b—Modem was removed from service with the modem shutdown
command or the modem busyout command.
• B—Modem is suspected to be inoperable or bad. No calls can be made
with this modem. The letter B can also mean that a modem firmware
download failed for the specified modem. In this case, try unmarking
the modem as bad with the no modem bad command and upgrading the
modem firmware.
• d—The RAM-based DSP code, which supports K56flex, is not
configured. The modem will revert to transmitting at 33.6 kbps.
• D—Modem is currently downloading firmware.
• p—Firmware download is pending, typically because one or more
modems is active.
• R—Modem is held and isolated in a suspended state by the modem
hold-reset command.
• T—Modem is conducting a back-to-back test with another modem.
• *—Modem is connected or dialing.
UsagePercentage of the total system uptime that all modems are in use.
