The PA-VXAs are single-width port adapters with one universal port that is configurable for either a T1 or E1 connection. Using a PA-VXA packet voice port adapter, Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7200 VXR routers, and Cisco 7500 series routers can become dedicated packet voice hubs or packet voice gateways that connect to both private branch exchanges (PBXs) and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Multiservice Interchange (MIX) support—Voice channels can be TDM-switched between port adapter slots in the Cisco 7200 VXR chassis. This allows DSP resources to be shared between port adapters in the same chassis or for port-to-port DS0 cross-connect between port adapter slots.

The T1/E1 interface receptacles on the PA-VXA, PA-VXB, and PA-VXC port adapters are for RJ-45 connectors for both T1 (100 ohm) and E1 (120 ohm). After you properly connect a port to a line, it takes approximately 30 seconds for the Cisco IOS to report that the line is up.

Although the Cisco 7500 series routers support online insertion and removal of the VIP motherboard, individual port adapters cannot be inserted or removed from a VIP without first removing it from the chassis. To install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7500 series router, you must first install it on a VIP motherboard.

Configuring Voice over IP Voice Over IP (VoIP) enables a Cisco 7200 series router, Cisco 7200 VXR router, Cisco 7301 router, Cisco 7401ASR router, or Cisco 7500 series router to carry voice traffic (for example, telephone calls and faxes) over an IP network.
Before configuring VoIP on your Cisco 7200 series router, Cisco 7200 VXR router, Cisco 7301 router, Cisco 7401ASR router, or Cisco 7500 series router, it helps to understand what happens at an application level when you place a call using VoIP. The general flow of a two-party voice call using VoIP is as follows: The user picks up the handset;...
Page 58
You need to configure your router to support voice ports. In general, voice-port commands define the characteristics associated with a particular voice-port signaling type. Voice ports on the Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7200 VXR routers, Cisco 7301 router, Cisco 7401ASR routers, and Cisco 7500 series routers support three basic voice signaling types: FXO—Foreign Exchange Office interface...
The important thing to remember is that QoS must be configured throughout your network—not just on the Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7200 VXR routers, Cisco 7401ASR routers, or Cisco 7500 series routers running VoIP—to improve voice network performance. Not all QoS techniques are appropriate for all network routers.

Real-time voice traffic is carried on UDP ports ranging from 16384 to 16624. This number is derived from the following formula: 16384 = 4 multiplied by the number of voice ports in the Cisco 7200 VXR router Custom queuing and other methods for identifying high-priority streams should be configured for these port ranges.
Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-VXA, PA-VXB, and PA-VXC Configuring Voice over IP Create a Number Expansion Table Figure 4-2, a small company wants to use VoIP to integrate its telephony network with its existing IP network. The destination pattern (or expanded telephone number) associated with Router A (located to the left of the IP cloud) is (408) 555-xxxx, where xxxx identifies the individual dial peers by extension.
Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-VXA, PA-VXB, and PA-VXC Configuring Voice over IP Expand a Number To define how to expand an extension number into a particular destination pattern, use the following command in global configuration mode: num-exp extension-number extension-string You can verify the number expansion information by using the show num-exp command to verify that you have mapped the telephone numbers correctly.

Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-VXA, PA-VXB, and PA-VXC Configuring Voice over IP RSVP reservations are only one-way. If you configure RSVP, the VoIP dial peers on both ends of the Note connection must be configured for RSVP. Configure Codec and VAD for Dial Peers Coder-decoder (codec) and voice activity detection (VAD) for a dial peer determine how much bandwidth the voice session uses.
Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-VXA, PA-VXB, and PA-VXC Configuring Voice over Frame Relay For example, to enable VAD for VoIP dial peer 108, enter the following: dial-peer voice 108 voip destination-pattern +1408528 session target ipv4:10.0.0.8 Configuring Voice over Frame Relay You need to take certain factors into consideration when configuring VoIP for it to run smoothly over Frame Relay.
When traffic bursts over the CIR, output rate is held at the speed configured for the CIR (for example, traffic will not go beyond 32 kbps if the CIR is set to 32 kbps). For more information about Frame Relay, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.
