The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway is a dual-port ISDN unit that is designed to perform signalling and
service reconciliation between two unlike ISDN signalling systems.
It typically gets deployed to attach the following:
OL-19276-01
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide
1-1
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway
•A QSIG (or DPNSS) PBX to a DPNSS (or QSIG) network, or
•A number of DPNSS PBXs to a QSIG or Q.931 backbone network (VoIP or ATM, for example), or
•A DPNSS PBX to a Q.931-based Public ISDN service (such as ISDN 30e).
When you are attaching a QSIG (or DPNSS) PBX to a DPNSS (or QSIG) network, Cisco VG30D Voice
Gateway provides seamless service interworking between the attached PBX and other PBXs in the
network, including inter-operation of most of the commonly used services.
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway facilitates basic call interworking, including simple services such as
calling and connected identity when attaching a number of DPNSS PBXs to a QSIG or Q.931 backbone
network, or a DPNSS PBX to a Q.931-based Public ISDN service.
In addition, when attaching a number of DPNSS PBXs to a QSIG backbone network, the, Cisco VG30D
Voice Gateway can transport DPNSS signalling across the network and deliver it practically
transparently through a similar InterChange unit to a remote DPNSS PBX. In this mode, all DPNSS
Supplementary Services get supported apart from some link-specific Traffic Channel maintenance
services.
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway supports 2 E1 Primary Rate [2 Mbit/s (30B + D) Common Channel
Signalling] interfaces; providing a single Primary Rate conversion. The unit has been designed to be
installed on a 19-inch rack. It is particularly suited for use in Customer Premises Environments (CPE)
to interface equipment into Virtual Private Networks.
Figure 1-1 shows DPNSS PBXs interconnected across a QSIG network. In this configuration, the
combination of InterChange units and the network behave as a single DPNSS transit node and transports
DPNSS supplementary signalling.

Conversions operate on the common signalling channel only. Bearer circuits get passed directly through
the unit. You can configure each protocol support to meet specific application needs.
You can configure the Virtual Private Network protocol support to operate into sub-equipped ISDN
trunks, which allows the user to maximise the benefits of the advantageous Primary Rate ISDN tariffs
now that are being offered by some PTOs.
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway also provides some additional facilities:
•The ability to perform diversions on behalf of the PBX
•Support for the Q.932 redirecting number element for diversion
•Custom configuration for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and other PBXs
•The ability to display DPNSS Message Waiting Indications on telephones that are controlled by

The two amber Port LEDs are labelled P1 and P2. Together with the STATUS LEDs, they indicate unit
status. When the unit is operating normally and all is well, these LEDs turn on and off every few seconds
with all STATUS LEDs off.
When a problem exists, the Port LEDs will show the problem’s location (P1 or P2, or if both P1 and P2
are lit, a major alarm exists). The STATUS LEDs will then indicate the problem. If more than one port
has a problem, they will be shown in a cycle of 5 seconds each.
Power
The Power LED has two functions. When power is applied, it comes on amber to indicate that the unit is in
self-test mode. When the self-test satisfactorily completes, it changes to green to indicate that the unit is
functioning correctly.

The Craft Port exists primarily to enable a serial connection to a dumb terminal or a terminal emulation
application on a computer that is running RS-232 at 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
If required, you can connect the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway Alarm Port to an alarm signal detector
before powering on the unit.
Switches
Power On/Off
The power On/Off switch (I / O) is adjacent to the mains connector.
CautionBefore connecting any cables or changing any switches, power off the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway.
POST
You must set the Power On Self Test (POST) switch in the POST position before powering on the Cisco
VG30D Voice Gateway unit. Only Cisco Systems, Inc., engineers use the Factory position.
Impedance Switches
This allows the selection of either 75-ohm or 120-ohm impedance for the SCN ports. Use 75 ohms for
coaxial BNC connection (BNC position), and 120 ohms for UTP RJ45 connectivity (RJ45 position).
CautionMake this selection before power is applied to the unit.
Craft Switch
Use the Craft switch to switch between serial connection for initialising the Cisco VG30D Voice
Gateway and Factory Engineering management. By default, the switch should stay set to Craft.

Help Facility
This facility, which is available from the Main menu, will open a separate browser window that may be
kept open at the same time as the Configuration window. However, it does not have the level of detail
of this User Guide and does not provide guidance on communications protocols.
Logout
The Logout facility is provided because only a single user may access the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway
management interface at any one time. When a user is logged in, no other logins will be accepted.
Therefore, the user should Logout at the end of the session.
An inactivity timer is provided for when a user does not log out. This timer enables another user to log
in after a set period of inactivity in the event of a network or computer failure. The factory default value
for the Non-Use Timeout Period is 5 minutes, but it may be set between 3 and 15 minutes. When the
Non-Use Timeout Period expires, it does not log out the user. This logout occurs when another user
attempts to log in.
Help Facility
NoteWhen using Internet Explorer, if you close the browser or navigate to another location without first
logging out, a window will pop up to ask whether you want to log out from the Gateway Management
Interface. Selecting Logout will enable another user to log in immediately. Selecting Ignore will close
the window and leave you logged in until the Non-Use Timeout Period elapses.

Advanced Settings
Available settings include the following:
•Proxy Diversion Service: If service is enabled and a call from the QSIG network to the DPNSS
network is diverted, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will intervene to ensure that the diversion
takes place. If service is disabled, calls from the QSIG network that encounter diversion at a DPNSS
PBX are likely to fail. This setting does not affect calls from DPNSS, either to QSIG or transparently
over QSIG to other DPNSS extensions.
You can configure diversion service to act on behalf of all calls (All), a specific dialed number
(Exact), calls matching a part of the dialed number (Match) or calls that do not match (No Match)
a given part of a dialed number.
•Proxy Divert Address Filter: The filter represents the digits against which the dialed number is
matched, if the Proxy Diversion Service is set to Exact, Match or No Match.
•Operator Recall Timeout: This setting only applies if Proxy Diversion is enabled. If a call is
diverted by an Operator in the DPNSS network to a phone in the QSIG network, the phone to which
it has been diverted will ring for the number of seconds that is configured and then will revert to the
operator (unless answered). If the Operator Recall Timeout is disabled, the call will continue
ringing at the QSIG extension.
•Enable ISDX VMS Emulation: Checking this setting allows extensions on QSIG PBXs to be
integrated into a Voice Mail System (VMS) that is hosted on an ISDX PBX.
•ISDX VMS Diversion on No-reply Timer: See DPNSS Message Waiting Implementations and

string, Calling Party Category ‘ISDN’ match string and the Calling Party Category ‘Decadic’
match string fields define the strings to be matched for each type CPC that can be generated in this
way.
•Segment long ISRMs: When checked, this field allows the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway to
generate ISRM(i) - SSRM(c) sequences where the incoming Q.931 Setup message that indicates
sending complete would result in a generated ISRM(c) that is exceeding the maximum DPNSS PDU
size.
•Incoming Channel Mapping: If setting is configured to Fixed, the channel that is used by the
incoming call must get used for the outgoing call. If setting is configured to Switched, a different
channel may get negotiated in the outgoing Q.931 call, and the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will
switch the bearer channel internally.
•Transparent Transport Service Support: This setting enables the generation of information that
is necessary to transport the original DPNSS messaging transparently across a QSIG network.
•Re-attempt Transparency after transfer: If the box is checked, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway
will attempt to work transparently to a new destination following call transfer.

VG30D Voice Gateway will wait before autonomously generating a positive response to Diversion
Validation Request from the DPNSS PBX or network.
•Enable Loop Avoidance Insertion: If option is enabled, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will
insert a loop avoidance (LA) string containing the Number of Further Transits value in the outgoing
signalling.
•Loop Avoidance mapping: If option is set to Simple the DPNSS LA value gets mapped directly to
the Q.931 transit Counter, but if option is set to Enhanced it gets treated as though it is passing
through a transit PBX before it is forwarded.
•Include Loop Avoidance in CRM: If the treatment of the LA results in the call clearing and this is
checked, the LA string will get included in the Clear Request Message that is generated by the Cisco
VG30D Voice Gateway.
•En-bloc Call Forward Digit Count: You can use this option to turn overlap dialed DPNSS calls
into en-bloc calls. When the specified number of digits has been received, the call gets forwarded
en-bloc. Be aware that this is only appropriate for networks with fixed-length dial plans.
•En-bloc Call Forward Timeout: This option acts as an interdigit timer that will forward the call
when it expires. It restarts as each digit arrives. This option proves suitable for networks with
variable-length dial plans, but introduces a post dial delay.
•Default Destination Address: You can use this field to provide a default destination address when
no dialed digits are received from the Q.931/QSIG PBX or network.
•Number of leading Destination Digits to strip: You can use the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway to
strip leading digits such as node numbers from the dialed number, if required.
•Enable Service Spoofing: If this option is enabled, Transfer Hold and Diversion Validation Service
may get spoofed on behalf of the Q.931 network. (The services must also be enabled.)

Voice Gateway will respond with Service Ack message if option is enabled or a Status message with
cause of Message Not Implemented if disabled.
•Call Reference Length: Setting allows the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway to accept one-octet or
two-octet Call references. If Single is selected, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will only send and
receive one octet length call references. If Double is selected, only call references that are two octets
in length will be deemed valid. When Both is selected, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will accept
either length for incoming calls and generate two-octet Call References on outgoing calls.
•Send Sending Complete Element: Unchecking the box allows the Sending Complete Information
Element to be suppressed in outgoing en-bloc calls.
•Send Connected Number Element: Unchecking the box allows the Connected Number
Information Element to be suppressed in outgoing Connect messages.
•Enable Calling Line Id: Unchecking the box allows the Calling Party Number Information Element

Access Control
Access Control settings allow the user passwords and Non-Use Timeout Period to be set. Alphanumeric
characters, with the exception of space, are legal for passwords. The Non-Use Timeout Period specifies
the time that is allowed for a user to be logged into the Gateway Management Interface without actively
using it before being automatically logged out when another user attempts to log in. It may be set from
3 to 15 minutes.
Software Upgrade
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway gets supplied with an embedded default operational software. It can
only get upgraded with software that is of the same type as the embedded software.
Software Upgrade allows a new version of the software application to be downloaded to the Cisco
VG30D Voice Gateway by using an FTP server.
The IP address of the FTP server, a User Name and a Password are all required to access the FTP server.
The directory and filename of the new application on the FTP server is also required. Selecting
Upgrade will download the new application to the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway.
This new application will overwrite an existing previously downloaded application but not the default
application. The new application will run next time the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway is reset, but only
if the new software has been selected by using the Software Selection facility. Instructions on installing
the software version will be provided with the new software.
Configuration Backups
Be aware that configuration backups are release specific. After the software upgrade completes
successfully and is operational on the unit, a new configuration backup should be saved.
The procedure is as follows:
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide

OL-19276-01
Chapter 4 Management and Configuration
Step 1Upgrade to the new version of the software.
Step 2Select the version of the software to run next time the unit is restarted.
Step 3Restart the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway unit. The configuration that is stored on the unit automatically
gets loaded into the new version of software.
Step 4Perform a Back Up Configuration as described in the Gateway section. A configuration backup file that
is compatible with the newly activated software gets produced.
NoteYou cannot restore a backed-up configuration file to a system that is running a different version of
software to that under which the backup file was saved.
NoteCisco Systems, Inc., recommends that each backup configuration file be given a unique name that
includes the software release number. This will ensure that, if the configuration backup files are stored
in a central location, a new backup file does not overwrite an existing file that may be required for a
different location.

Q.931/DPNSS Conversion Configuration
Q.931 Port 1 Configuration
Basic Configuration
The default setting of the Q.931 port at Layer 2 (Q.921) specifies USER End. You must configure this
with inverse orientation to the attached equipment/network.
As the default, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway causes a Layer 2 RESET on recovery after physical
layer failures. This causes all calls to be cleared when a Channel 0 fault is notified. Alternatively, you
can configure the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway to ignore Layer 1 fault indications and rely on periodic
Layer 2 status polling to detect link problems.
6
Protocol Orientation
The Layer 3 orientation gets set automatically according to the profile and Layer 2 orientation.
Action on Link Layer RESET
As the default, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway takes action to validate Q.931 call status for all fully
active calls on notification of a Link Layer RESET. Calls only get cleared if they are not fully set up or
a discrepancy exists in call state.
You can configure this to cause all calls to be cleared when a Layer 2 fault is notified, regardless of their
state. If the glitch sensitivity has been reduced in Channel 0 configuration, you may want to clear calls
after a fault is finally notified. Status validation should be adequate in most cases.
Overlap Signalling Support
If the Q.931 network/equipment supports overlap signalling, enable it by selecting Incoming for overlap
from Q.931, Outgoing for overlap towards Q.931, or Both Ways.
For transparent signalling, set overlap signalling to Both Ways.
OL-19276-01
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide
6-1
Q.931/DPNSS Conversion Configuration
DPNSS Networks in the UK typically support overlap signalling for all calls. You can make the Cisco
VG30D Voice Gateway block up incoming digits from DPNSS by setting this option to None or
Incoming. In isolated cases, it may be appropriate to turn on preemptive call forwarding in the Q.931
stack. This action very rarely is required. However, if it is needed, it operates as described in
Port 2 Configuration.
If the En-bloc Call Forwarding Timeout in Advanced Configuration is set to 0, the normal Q.931 T302
timer runs to clear incomplete calls after 15 seconds without dialling activity.
Advanced Configuration
Q.931 Profile Selection
You can profile the Q.931 port to conform to ETSI, AT&T (TR 41449), Euro-ISDN or QSIG definitions.
The default is QSIG.
For DPNSS/QSIG transparency the Layer 3 protocol Profile must get set to QSIG.
The ETSI profile is based on ETSI Specification ETS 300 102-1,). The Euro-ISDN profile is based on
the same specification, with amendments applied in ETSI specification ETS 300 102-1/A2. The
differences between the ETSI and Euro-ISDN profiles relate to the content of messages. No changes
occur to call setup and clear-down.
Cisco Systems, Inc., recommends that Euro-ISDN profile be used when you are not configuring the
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway for transparency, irrespective of a requirement for TBR-4 compliancy.
Choose the ETSI profile only where TBR-4 compliancy is not required and where the Euro-ISDN profile
is deemed to be incorrect. Where TBR-4 compliance is required, you must choose the Euro-ISDN
profile.
Each profile sets particular defaults, appropriate to the standard definition, but these values can then be
overridden by specific action, which allows customisation of the interface to non-standard equipment
implementations. The rest of this section discusses these override options.

DPNSS
Services Configuration
Default Destination Address
When you are operating into a DPNSS-based public network, which may address to the subscriber
number only with no private network extension number, you must ensure that a private network
extension number is supplied. This enables non-DDI calls to get directed to a sensible destination such
as the common operator. Normally, this would occur in the Q.931 PBX. However, in Cisco VG30D Voice
Gateway AT&T and QSIG implementations, it can get configured to be supplied by the Converter.
By default, non-DDI calls get a Q.931/QSIG Called Party Address of 0 as the ubiquitous operator
number. You can customize this forwarding address by configuring the appropriate private network
number, including any node address, as the Default Destination Address.
You do not need the Default Destination Address for transparency.

DPNSS Port 2 Configuration
Basic Configuration
The default setting of Level 2 for the DPNSS port specifies A end. Ensure that this is configured with
inverse orientation to the attached equipment/network.
Sub-Configured Links
You can configure DPNSS channels individually for operational service (that is, the DPNSS link can be
sub-configured). Q.931 calls will only get generated or accepted on those channels for which an
equivalent DPNSS channel is configured.
Contention (Glare) Resolution
When all channels on the associated DPNSS link are configured as X, the DPNSS equipment, being the
Y end, gives precedence to incoming calls, so most channel contention problems get resolved in the
DPNSS network.
Similarly, it is advantageous though not mandatory, if Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway can be configured
as the “Network” end of the Q.931 link. This is because this gives it precedence for calls over the
attached “User” end equipment.
Reduce channel contention (glare) problems further by influencing the choice of alternative channel.
Select High to Low or Low to High as the Channel Allocation option, when you are configuring the
DPNSS stack. High to Low causes the highest free channel to be selected, and Low to High causes the
lowest free channel to be selected.
Q.931/DPNSS Conversion Configuration
Services Configuration
Default Private Network Number
When you are operating into a Q.931-based public network, which may address calls to the subscriber
number only, with no private network extension number, you must ensure that a private network
extension number is supplied, so that non-DDI calls get directed to a sensible destination such as the
common operator. Normally, this would be done in the DPNSS PBX, but you can configure it to be
supplied by the converter.
By default, non-DDI calls are receive a DPNSS Called Line Identity of 0, as the ubiquitous operator
number. You can customize this forwarding address by configuring the appropriate private network
number, including any node address, as the Default Destination Address.
You do not need the Default Private Network Number for transparency.
Destination Address Editing
You can edit the destination address that is associated with calls from DPNSS before the address passes
out to Q.931, by discarding up to three leading digits. For example, a leading 9 inserted to cause the call
to be routed to an outgoing public trunk can get stripped before the call passes to the ISDN by setting
Number of Destination Digits to Strip to 1.
No requirement exists for Address Editing when you are using transparency.

DPNSS/QSIG Transparency Options Configuration
Preemptive Call Forwarding
Depending on whether the Q.931 implementation to which the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway is
interfaced fully supports overlap signalling, you may need to configure the En-bloc Call Forward Timeout and/or En-bloc Call Forward Digit Count parameters in the DPNSS stacks.
The converter uses these call forwarding parameters when overlap signalling is encountered from
DPNSS to Q.931. The converter uses these parameters to recognise when no more digits are forthcoming
and to indicate address completion and speed call setup. You should include any edited-out digits in the
count of address digits after which the call must get forwarded. They are not normally required when
you are interfacing into a public network because the network preempts such contrivances.
In both cases, a value 0 turns the address-phase termination function off. The En-bloc Call Forward Timeout represents an interdigit timer.
You do not need this feature for transparent signalling.

ISDX Voice Messaging Systems
Siemens implemented proprietary extensions to DPNSS Diversion to achieve better integration with
their voice messaging servers (VMSs). You can configure the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway to attempt
to interwork these extensions with the QSIG Call Forwarding service. However, in some cases,
interworking is partial.
In iSDX/Realitis networks where a single VMS, ensure the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway is configured
with the SPIDG address (the Logical Extension Identifier for the VMS hunt group - sometimes called
the RFD address). This is unnecessary in multiple VMS networks, where the PBXs assert the required
number explicitly in their RFD signalling. ISDX VMS parameters get set up on the DPNSS Advanced
page.
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway units have further advanced configuration options. Your support
organisation may direct you to use these options to resolve specific VMS interworking problems. The
default configuration settings remain correct for most networks.
Name Mapping
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway units support both the Q.931 display element to transfer name information
(in either direction) and the QSIG Name Identification service options.
The most prevalent use of the display element option is by media gateway (DE30+) cards that are
attached to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, supporting Q.931 protocol (not QSIG).

•PBX accepts Route Optimisation Invite String
•Restrict Route Optimisation Call Ref. Mapping
Advanced Service Interworking
Use of DPNSS Route Optimisation Invite String
If you selected full interworking. Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway can occasionally persuade the network
to achieve more effective call routing by issuing a “ROP-INV” request to the DPNSS PBX. ROP-INV
was a late addition to the DPNSS specification, so not all DPNSS PBXs support this request. It can
prevent some of those PBXs from achieving correct Route Optimisation. You may need to ask your PBX
supplier, or experiment to determine whether your PBX accepts this string.
If the DPNSS PBXs attached through this unit support ROP-INV, then no calls will fail. However, if you
are in any doubt about the ability of your DPNSS PBXs to handle ROP-INV, you should not check the
box beside PBX accepts Route Optimisation Invite string in DPNSS Services, because correctly
operating Route Optimisation without ROP-INV is better than incorrect operation if the PBX does object
to the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway’s use of this signalling.
When the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway interworks the QSIG Path Replacement Network Feature with
DPNSS Route Optimisation, it constructs a DPNSS Call Reference value from the Path Replacement
parameters that are provided in QSIG, and vice versa. The service parameter definitions do not always
match exactly. This has been rectified only in the most recent DPNSS specification (issue 7), and many
PBXs do not implement the upgraded standard.
QSIG Facility Element Encoding
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway’s QSIG Protocol and Supplementary Services support can comprise any
one of three different QSIG definitions:
•The original definition defined by ECMA on behalf of ETSI in 1993 (ETS 300 172 / ETS 300 239
versions 1 & subsequently adopted service specifications).
•The ISO definition, adopted in 1994 (ISO/IEC 11572/11582:1995 & services).
•The ISO-aligned definition adopted by ETSI in 1995 (ETS 300 172/239 versions 3 & services).
OL-19276-01
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide
6-7
Advanced Service Interworking
When the Q.931 QSIG protocol profile is selected, the QSIG facility element encoding defaults to ETSI
1995.
To change the facility coding definition manually, you must make changes in two windows as follows:
Step 1Go to Configuration / Q.931 Services.
Step 2Set Facility Element Coding Standard to ISO (ISO 1994), ETSI (ETSI = ETSI 1995), or ECMA
(ECMA = ETSI 1993), and click SUBMIT.
Step 3Go to Configuration / Inter-Working.
Step 4Set Facility Element coding to ISO if you need either the ISO 1994 or the ETSI 1995 definition, or
ETSI for the ECMA 1993 definition, and click SUBMIT.
NoteBeware the discrepancy between meanings of the ETSI selection in the two different windows.
Cisco Systems, Inc., suggests that you contact your Q.931 equipment supplier if one or more
Supplementary services will not interoperate with its default ETSI (1995) encoding and you suspect the
Q.931 equipment may be operating to an alternative standard. With some PBX equipment, more service
capabilities are available with the PBX configured for ECMA (1993) rather than ISO operation.
Chapter 6 Conversions and Transparency
QSIG Diversion Restriction
Certain DPNSS PBXs enforce an arbitrary constraint that prohibits a network user from diverting the
phone to an off-net number (for example, a national mobile number). In a mixed network that includes
such PBXs, the feature permits those QSIG PBXs that are capable of performing “call forward by join”
to offer off-net diversion without the diversion request being referred back to and rejected by the DPNSS
PBX.
In DPNSS, on determining that a call is being attempted to a phone against which a diversion is
registered, the destination PBX signals this to the originating PBX. It should then attempt a new call to
the “divert to” number that is identified by the destination PBX. Certain DPNSS PBXs enforce an
arbitrary limit on the length of the “divert to” number. If it exceeds that length, the PBX will not attempt
to divert the call, and the call fails.
This can be controlled by setting Reject Diversion Request for Numbers Longer than.
Some QSIG PBXs overcome this restriction, without requiring action from the originating DPNSS PBX,
by making the diverting leg of the call and joining the new and original call legs. Cisco VG30D Voice
Gateway can now get set up to detect the condition (overlong divert-to-number) and change its signalling
to trigger the QSIG PBX to take alternative diversion action. Where the length of the divert to number
is not excessive, Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway units allow the QSIG diversion request to “interwork”
with the DPNSS PBX as normal.

The diversion restriction problem has been encountered specifically in networks that contain Ericsson
MD110 PBXs that are using DPNSS signalling.

Limitations to Diversion Restriction
Diversion Restriction should not be used unless the following conditions are true:
•The originating PBX refuses to implement certain kinds of diversion.
•You are certain that your QSIG PBXs can perform call forward by join.
NoteCall forward by join can result in non-optimal bearer paths (trombones). Because of the particular way
in which the path is created, these may not always get optimised by subsequent path replacement
requests.
Configuring Diversion Restriction
Changes in diversion behaviour take place by using the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway
Configuration / Q.931 Services window. Set Reject Diversion Requests for Numbers longer than to
the maximum length of the number that is permitted, or set to 0 to disable diversion restriction.
For most applications the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway Application windows give adequate control over
the services to be proxied by the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway on behalf of Q.931 equipment, but some
more detailed tuning is possible using the Configuration / DPNSS Advanced window.
Proxy Diversion Address Filtering
In particular, you can set an address filter to determine whether the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will
attempt to make a proxy diversion or will reject the call immediately.
The filter operates by comparing the leading digits of the diverted-to number with a pre-set number. You
can configure the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway to attempt proxy diversion if the diverted-to address
digits meet any of the following criteria:
•Match the preset digits up to the length of the pre-set, but the diverted-to address may be longer than
the pre-set (if your network numbering plan uses a node numbering strategy, this allows you to
confine proxy diversions to a single node or group of nodes. For example you can confine the
diversions to occur within the DPNSS network only);
•Fail to match the preset digit string, up to the length of that string (This is the inverse of the previous
option. If your network numbering plan uses a node numbering strategy, it allows you to perform
proxy diversions except to a single node or group of nodes. For example this option allows you to
exclude diversions to the Q.931 equipment);
•Match the preset exactly, including having the same number of digits as the preset (This allows you
to permit only one proxy diversion address. For example, this option allows you to permit configure
the address of a voice mail system.);
•Are any value (That is, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will attempt to proxy all diversion
requests).
The address filter gets set from the Configuration/DPNSS Advanced window.
AllThe Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will proxy all diversion requests regardless of
ExactThe diverted-to digits must be an exact match on the filter digits.
MatchThe diverted-to digits must start with the filter digits
No MatchThe diverted-to digits must not match the filter digits
DisableDisables the Proxy Divert service within the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway
Set the Proxy Divert Address Filter to the required address digits against which to compare.
Operator Recall Timeout
Operator Recall Timeout applies to calls incoming to the DPNSS operator that have been transferred
to a phone in the Q931 network. It ensures that, if the wanted party does not answer in a predefined
period, the call gets returned to the operator. If, after speaking to the operator the caller wants to hold,
the operator may reconnect the caller to the wanted number with a single key press. Otherwise, the call
may get redirected to a different number
The Configuration/DPNSS Advanced page allows the user to set the Operator Recall Timeout to the
period to wait before returning the call to the operator.
Chapter 6 Conversions and Transparency
the diverted-to address
NoteThis configuration will not in itself enable Operator Redirection. This service only gets provided when
Proxy Diversion Service is enabled and the Operator Recall Timeout is not set to zero.
Service Spoofing
Further service spoofing may get enabled or disabled within the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway. Service
spoofing covers the following areas:
•Automatic acknowledgement of DPNSS Diversion Validation requests
•Returning “last known” party number as update information to DPNSS if a call to or from a Q.931
To enable / disable service spoofing, open the Configuration/DPNSS Services window. To enable
Diversion Validation spoofing, check the Enable Service Spoofing box in the Virtual Calls column. To
enable the spoofing of the last known number, check the Enable Service Spoofing box in the Real Calls
column. Ensure the Enable Three Party Working box also is checked.
phone is transferred within the DPNSS network. This information may be inaccurate because, unlike
QSIG, the Q.931 protocol does not have a Connected Party number notification.

SCN Clock Synchronisation
Incorrect clock synchronisation on the SCN side of the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway can cause severe
problems with modem and fax quality, and lesser problems with voice quality. Calls may also get
dropped.
Ensure the clock is set by using the Gateway Management Interface. Go to Configuration /
Gateway / Set PCM Clock Source. Select whichever port can provide a network-provided clock. It will
synchronise to the source that is selected if a valid clock is present or synchronise to the other port if a
clock is not present. If you are unable to synchronise to either port, the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway
internal source will get used.
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway does not get specified to have its own very high resolution clock tied
to the National Public Network frequency, nor does it get specified to accept a Kilostream clock input.

SNMP Traps
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway is configured to generate SNMP Traps for up to 8 destinations. SNMP
traps have been divided into five groups as follows:
•Major Alarm
•Port Errors
•Reset Traps
•System Events
•Layer 1 Alarms
To access the MIBs which define the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway Traps may be accessed through links
provided on the SNMP Configuration page when using the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway Management
Interface. Using the Save As facility in the browser, these MIBs may be saved to allow the information
to be compiled into the Network Management System (NMS).

Introduction
CHAPTER
10
Fault Determination
This chapter on Troubleshooting has sections that cover the following:
•Power-On Problems
•Management Interface Problems
•Operational Problems
•Diagnostic Procedures
•Browser Interface Problems
These sections are written for a user attending a new or failed installation. Flow charts outline the initial
diagnostic procedure and direct the user to specific procedures for the recommended recovery action.
These sections also provide an indication of the level to which remote diagnosis may assist.
Be aware that, when you are performing an installation, cabling problems are common.
The section on Port Failure Alarms shows how to diagnose the majority of these alarms by using the
information that is shown on the status display.
Power-On Problems
When a Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway is powered on, it performs a series of self-tests to ensure that the
hardware is functioning correctly. Normal operation of the module resumes only if all tests are
successful.
The four STATUS LEDs and the Power LED on the front panel indicate the progress of tests.
If nothing is displayed, follow the Power Supply diagnosis procedure.
Management Interface Problems
You cannot to log in to the Gateway Management Interface if:
•The Gateway IP Address or Subnet Mask are incorrectly set
•Another User is logged in to the Gateway Management Interface
•The last User hasn’t logged out correctly, and the Non-use timeout has not expired
OL-19276-01
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide
10-1
Operational Problems
•The Self Test has failed
•Access is attempted from a different LAN segment, and the Default Gateway IP Address has not
been set up in the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway unit
or
•A connection was made to the web server before the unit is fully operational. This may result in a
delay in displaying the main window and could also result in question marks appearing in the SCN
Status. You can resolve this by refreshing the page or by closing down and then restarting the
browser.
Operational Problems
Figure 10-1 shows how to pinpoint a failing piece of equipment or cabling by deduction from local
equipment and Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway alarm relay indications, assuming that the IP network and
its diagnostic information are outside the control of the local management system.

•An alarm monitor detects that the alarm relay has triggered
•A user advising of lack of service
•An indication of Alarms from connected equipment
•Error status on the LED display
If a fault is indicated in the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway or the network beyond, you can interrogate for
the status of each port if management terminal access is available. Otherwise, examine the status
indications on the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway front panel.
Examine the status LEDs. In the normal operational state, an LED is shown for each in-service port. If
this is not the case, follow the checks that are outlined in
to the most appropriate of the specific diagnostic procedures that are described in Diagnostic Procedures.

Diagnostic Procedures
This section contains a set of diagnostic procedures that may be referenced directly or used in
conjunction with the Operational Problems first level diagnosis flow charts.
Each procedure starts with a description of the symptoms of the error class, followed by diagnostic
actions that allow the actual fault to be pinpointed more accurately. After this has been achieved, it
should be possible for the user to attempt to correct the fault.

Power Supply
Symptoms
No LEDs illuminated.
Diagnostic Actions
Step 1Check whether there is power to the unit and the unit is switched on.
Step 2Check for fuse failure in the power feed or on the rear panel of the unit.
Step 3If you still cannot locate the problem, you must return the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway unit for repair.
.
Self Test Failure
Symptoms
The Power LED remains amber for more than 1 minute.
Diagnostic Procedures
Diagnostic action
The hardware self-test failed.
If the BNC cables (75 E1) are connected, power OFF the unit and disconnect the cables. Repeat the test.
If the unit successfully completes self-test, the Tx and Rx cables are reversed.
NoteThe unit will fail self test if the E1 ports are looped back to each other.
Power OFF and connect a dumb terminal (or computer with a terminal emulation program) to the Craft
Port and set the Craft Switch to CRAFT Mode. Power ON to reset the unit. The Cisco VG30D Voice
Gateway will Self Test again, and the terminal will display any failures. If no Self Test failures exist, but
the Power LED remains amber, check that the POST switch has not been left in the Factory setting. If
it has, power OFF the unit, switch the POST switch to POST, and power ON the unit. It should now pass
and exit Self Test.
If the unit continues to fail the self test, take the following action:
•Contact your second line support engineers for assistance, if needed.
•Return the failed unit for repair, with a note of the errors that were reported to the terminal.
Symptoms
The Power LED remains amber for more than 1 minute, the S2 status LED is blinking and all other status
LEDs are off.
Diagnostic action
Check whether the Craft cable is attached to the unit but the other end of the cable is not attached to a
dumb terminal (or computer with a terminal emulation program). If this is the case, power OFF the unit,
disconnect the cable and then power ON the unit. It should now pass and exit Self Test.
Alternatively, the IP addresses and sub-net masks may not have been configured.
OL-19276-01
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide
10-5
Diagnostic Procedures
Power OFF and connect a dumb terminal (or computer with a terminal emulation program) to the Craft
Port and set the Craft Switch to CRAFT Mode. Power ON to reset the unit. The Cisco VG30D Voice
Gateway will start Self-Test again and request the IP addresses and sub-net masks if they have not
already been set. After Power On Self-Test runs to completion, power cycle the Gateway unit.
Port Failure Alarm
Symptoms
When when a Port Failure alarm exists, it is indicated by either P1 or P2 LEDs showing amber.

Diagnostic Procedures
Call Failures
Chapter 10 Fault Determination
Symptom
The STATUS LEDs show no faults, but no calls can be made. No indication of failure comes from
attached equipment.
Diagnostic Action
If the attached equipment is indicating a problem, you may be able to diagnose the fault by referring to
that equipment’s troubleshooting documentation.
Log in to the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway by using a web browser. Check that the Diagnostic Overview
window shows no problems.
You can also monitor the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway's ports in turn by using a Primary Rate signalling
protocol analyser. Check that calls are being received into the equipment and are being passed on to the
associated port. If not, and the cause is not obvious from inspection of the analyser diagnostics, contact
your support organisation for further guidance.
Symptom
Calls get dropped unexpectedly while in progress.
Diagnostic Action:
The commonest cause is transient transmission problems on the network-side connections. Check
whether errors are occurring on either port. Alternatively, request that the network provider run checks
on the connection.
Symptom
Higher than expected levels of unsuccessful call attempts.
Diagnostic Action:
In a DPNSS environment some or all channels may be incorrectly configured at Layer 3 (set to X or to
Y at both ends), which causes failure to resolve channel contention correctly. Therefore, the
configuration must be reviewed.
Symptom
DPNSS transparency is not achieved across a Q.931 network.
Diagnostic Action
The switching elements in Q.931 network do not support the Generic Functional Protocol, or do not have
this function enabled. Therefore, the configuration must be reviewed.
Symptom
DPNSS services requiring virtual calls do not work.
Diagnostic Action
Switching elements in the Q.931 network do not support non-call-associated signalling or do not have
this function enabled. Therefore, the configuration must be reviewed.

Chapter 10 Fault Determination
Fatal Errors
Diagnostic Procedures
Symptom
Unexpected restart; calls in progress may get lost, but the unit recovers within a couple of minutes. On
examination the unit appears to be functioning normally.
Cause
The software has detected an error that it cannot correct. The problem could be due to a catastrophic
hardware malfunction or a fault in the software.
Any permanent hardware failure gets discovered by the self-test function, and the unit will not be
returned to service. If the fault was transient, the unit reinitialises, clears any calls that may have been
left hanging, and resumes normal operation.
After they are properly installed, configured and operational, gateway units are extremely reliable.
Software-detected errors seldom occur. It is usually impossible to diagnose the causative factors. Unless
due to a persistent hardware problem, full recovery within a couple of minutes is automatic, although
calls in progress at the time of the failure will have been cleared.
Diagnostic action
The error gets recorded in the unit’s event log automatically. When the unit restarts, record the content
of the following logs:
•System
•Port
•Major
•Port Error
•Call Statistics
Event Reporting
Each Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway maintains an internal cyclic log of significant events and can report
the contents of this log to a terminal that is attached to the management port. During normal operation,
event reporting gets disabled, but when you are investigating problem conditions you can enable the
event reporting function to assist in fault diagnosis. Reports may get filtered by class and severity to
reduce the amount of information to be sifted.
If your supplier suggests that you do access the event log, they should tell you what classes of event to
filter. For most purposes, you only need to display Alarm conditions, but more detailed information also
gets maintained within the log in case of exceptional need. In practise, the most common faults are port
errors. These conditions normally get diagnosed from the status LEDs or the port alarm log without a
need to access the event log.
SNMP Traps
On a Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway that has been configured to use Ethernet, certain error conditions will
cause a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap to be sent to a configured IP address. Up
to eight such addresses may be configured. These will contain basic information, but on receipt of the
trap, the user is intended to connect to the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway unit by using the Gateway
management Interface for a more detailed summary. The following events will result in a trap being sent:

Browser Interface Problems
Symptom
Unable to connect a Web browser to the Gateway Management Interface.
Potential Cause and Action
A user is already logged in to the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway, or the last user failed to log out. Retry
connecting after waiting for the Non-Use Timeout period to expire.
Potential Cause and Action
Incorrect IP address entered. Enter the correct IP address. Confirm IP communications by “pinging” the
unit. If pings succeed, activity can be seen on the Ethernet Port LEDs. If the Non-Use Timeout expired,
access the unit by using the Craft Port to confirm correct IP Addresses and Sub Net Masks. Reboot the
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway and, if communication is restored, check the logs for errors.
Symptom
Management screens not updated as expected.
Potential Causes and Action
The Web browser has presented a cached page. The time and date information that is sent from the Cisco
VG30D Voice Gateway gets recorded as earlier than the cached page date and time information, or the
browser has been configured not to check for newer versions of stored pages.
Make sure that the browser is appropriately configured to check for newer versions of stored pages. Use
the Web browser’s “delete all temporary files” or “clear cache” facility and retry.
Symptom
