Enabling the transmission of QSIG signaling over a SIP network

With the SIP for telephones (SIP-T) protocol, the ISDN signaling messages can be tunneled through the SIP messages. The device only supports encapsulating QSIG messages within SIP messages. For more information about the SIP-T protocol, see "Configuring SIP."

To configure the SIP tunneling function:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

N/A

2. Enter E1/T1 interface view.

controller { e1 | t1 } slot-number

N/A

3. Bundle timeslots into a PRI group.

pri-set [ timeslot-list range ]

N/A

4. Exit E1/T1 interface view.

quit

N/A

5. Enter the view of the serial interface created for the PRI group.

interface serial number: { 15 | 23 }

N/A

6. Enable QSIG signaling.

isdn protocol-type qsig

By default, DSS1 signaling is enabled.

7. Exit E1/T1 interface view.

quit

N/A

8. Enter the view of the voice subscriber line of the PRI group.

subscriber-line number: { 15 | 23 }

N/A

9. Enable the QSIG tunneling function.

qsig-tunnel enable

Disabled by default.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE:

  • To enable the QSIG tunneling function, you must also execute the qsig-tunnel enable command on the voice trunks of both the ingress and egress gateways.

  • When the QSIG tunneling function is enabled, the system will not process or send non-QSIG ISDN calls.

  • The overlap mode ISDN calls do not support QSIG tunnel function.
