Basic V110 for MICA Modems on
Cisco Access Servers
Feature Overview
This feature allows V.110 calls to be originated and terminated over ISDN. 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 adaptor to use the fast call set-up times offered by ISDN. This feature
enables GSM wireless connectivity.
This document describes the Cisco IOS commands and AT commands required to support V.110 on
MICA modems for AS5X00 Access Servers.
This MICA V .110 implementation supports 60 modems per board on the Cisco AS5300 and supports
other connect standards (V.34, V.90, etc.) in addition to V.110. Modems are not dedicated to V.110
only and are allocated dynamically. On the Cisco AS5200, 30 modems per board is supported and
72 modems per board is supported on the Cisco AS5800.
This V.110 implementation for calls on MICA modems are managed by special boardware and
modem code, along with the appropriate Cisco IOS image, in a manner similar to other modulation
standards.

Benefits
Restrictions
Note This feature is distinct from the Asynchronous Management Protocol for V.110 Terminal
Adaptor Module that runs in the Cisco AS5200 and Cisco AS5300.
V.110 is a digital link access protocol and for Cisco access servers. It operates over an ISDN B
channel. V.110 enables Cisco access servers to connect to ISDN terminal adapters requiring V.110
compatibility. This feature enables GSM wireless connectivity.
This ISDN feature is in addition to the existing analog capability of the MICA modems.
Also, some digital cellular networks support data applications via V.110 connecting from the cell
phone. These networks place these V.110 calls on the PSTN for interconnecting to the ISP of the
end-customer's choice. MICA V.110 supports data rates from 600 bps up to 38,400bps.
Cisco IOS show commands have been changed to display additional fields reflecting the V.110
capability . See the “Command Reference” section.
An added AT command, ATDI, allows the user to command a V.110 modem to originate a V.110
call. See the “Command Reference” section.
This basic feature allows a V.110 call to be originated and terminated. Synchronous V.110 is not
supported. In addition, V.110 calls must terminate on a TTY asynchronous IOS interface.
Transmission Speeds/Bearer Rates
The following V.110 bearer rates and intermediate rates (ITU-T Recommendation Q.931) are
supported:
Supporting boardware and modem code on the MICA modems and special versions of the CSM on
certain platforms. See Firmwar e and P ortware Information, under the “Related Documents” section.
Supported MIBs and RFCs
The current Modem Management MIB objects for MICA modems will also be used for V .110. One
minor change is in the SNMP agent code. This change returns the correct modulation type for V.110
when it does a look up of the modulation for MICA modems.

Configuration Tasks
There are no configuration tasks. All commands in this feature are modified existing show modem
commands.
Command Reference
This section documents modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are
documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 command references and the Cisco AS5800 online new
feature documentation. For more information, see the documentation for the existing show modem
commands.
No new IOS commands are being added to support V.110 on MICA. However, due to the ne w V.110
Connect Protocol, Connected Standard, Line Speeds (Bearer Rates) and counters, the code that
handles the following show modem commands has been modified as listed in the following logical
order:
For the commands above, MICA Modem Management code has been modified to display the correct
information for V.110 associated Connect Protocol and Connected Standard. In addition, the correct
line speeds for V.110 related Bearer Rates have also be added to commands that display the
information.

ATDI Command (place V.110 call)
ATDI Command (place V.110 call)
The calling user can manually communicate with a V.110 modem in order to originate a remote
V.110 dialout from the called modem. The AT command set now includes the ATDI command
(place V.110 call) to allow a V.110 call to be originated from the called modem. The user enters the
ATDI command after establishing a session with the MICA modem in order to dial-out a V.110 call
from the modem.
Basic V110 for MICA Modems on Cisco Access Servers 9
By specifying a value 8 in S29, the user causes the remote modem to implicitly assume that a V.110
connection is to be established. This command indicates that an ISDN call is being requested, and
when used with the S29=8 command, results in modem code issuing a ISDN_DIALSTRING (0x45) request being made to the host.
After entering the S29=8 command, you can enter the desired user rate if different from the default
value of 9600 bps. This command takes the form: S57=speed. For supported rates, see the
“Restrictions” section. For example:
S57=19200
Debug Commands
There are no debug commands specific to this feature. Existing ISDN deb ug commands can be used.
