Module Installation Note

Product Numbers: WS-X6624-FXS

This publicationdescribes how to install the Catalyst 6500 series 24-port Foreign Exchange Station
(FXS) analog interface module. The FXS interfaces connect directly to standard analog telephones or

fax machines.

This publication consists of the following sections:

• Safety Overview, page 2

• Features, page 5

• Front Panel Description, page 9

• Specifications, page 10

• Installing the 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module, page 11

• Connecting a Cable to the 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Modu le Port, page 15

• What to Do After Installing the 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module, page 16

• Regulatory Standards Compliance, page 17

• Obtaining Documentation, page 17

• Obtaining Technical Assistance, page 19

The FXS interfaces supply ring voltage, dial tone, and other services as described in this publication.
FXS ports emulate the central office (CO) or private branch exchange (PBX) in that they provide a

service to an analog telephone or fax machine. The telephone or fax machine behaves as if it is connected
to a normal CO or PBX line.

Note All signaling configuration is done through Cisco CallManager. Refer to the Cisco CallManager

documentation for complete configuration details.

Fax and modem transport parameters are listed in Table 2.

Table 2 Fax and Modem Transport Parameters

Parameter Name Description Default

Fax relay enable Enables/disables fax relay support in the gateway.

Checkbox checked
Enabling this parameter will result in the gateway
attempting fax relay negotiation as part of the call
setup. If it is enabled but the far end does not
support fax relay, the fax call will switch to
pass-through mode.

Fax error correction
mode (ECM) override

ECM is a feature present in some higher-end fax
models that enables fax pages to be transmitted

Checkbox checked

error free. If ECM is enabled, the transmission has
a low tolerance to jitter and packet loss. This results
in a higher number of failed fax calls. For better
reliability (even with higher packet loss), ECM
needs to be disabled. ECM is disabled by enabling
the checkbox.

Maximum fax rate Defines the maximum fax transmission rate to be

14400
used during the fax call. This can be used to restrict
the bandwidth utilized for fax transmission.

Table 2 Fax and Modem Transport Parameters (continued)

Features

Fax payload size Configures the size of the fax payload (fax data)

carried over real-time transport protocol (R TP). The
value can range between 20 and 48.

Non standard facilities
country code

Overrides the country code passed by the fax
machine with the value defi ned. Setting the value to
default (65535) results in the gateway passing the
country code values received from the fax machine
to the far end. If the value is not the default, then the
gateway will pass the configured value as the
country code to the far end. It will suppress the
actual country code passed by the fax machine.
Country code can be received by the gateway from
the far end through ISDN. For details about the
nonstandard facilities country code, refer to the
T.35 specification.

Non standard facilities
vendor code

Overrides the vendor/provider code passed by the
fax machine with the value defined. Setting the
value to default (65535) results in the gateway
passing the vendor code values received from the
fax machine to the far end. If the value is not the
default, the gateway passes the configured value as
the vendor code to the far end. It will suppress the
actual vendor code passed by the fax machine. The
vendor code can be received by the gateway from
the far end through ISDN. For details about the
nonstandard facilities vendor code, refer to the T.35
specification.

Fax/Modem Packet
Redundancy

Enables packet redundancy support for fax and
modem calls. Packet redundancy support results in
retransmission of packets in case of problems.
Enabling redundancy can ha ve a negati ve impact on
performance.

V.21 Flag Sequence
Detection Count

Specifies the number of V.21 flag sequences that
need to be detected in order to det ermine that a n
incoming fax tone is valid. Increase this value when
there are line disturbances that require the gateway
to wait for a longer period of time to confirm a fax
call.

Port Used for Voice
Calls

Optimizes the performance of voice calls. If this
parameter is enabled and the parameters for modem
and fax calls are disabled, the port is configured to
accept only voice calls. Enable this parameter only
if you are certain that a port will handle voice calls
only.
