Feature
Description
Telephony interface
signaling support
Cisco 880 V supports the following signaling protocols:
●
FXS loop-start and ground-start signaling
●
FXO
●
Inbound signaling (such as dual-tone multifrequency [DTMF] and multifrequency support)
●
BRI QSIG
Voice features
●
Echo cancellation: This feature cancels echo on tail circuits up to 64 msec (configurable tail length).
●
Silence suppression and voice activity detection (VAD): Bandwidth is used only when someone is speaking.
During silent periods of a phone call, bandwidth is available for data traffic.
●
Comfort-noise generation: This feature reassures the phone user that the connection is being maintained,
even when no voice packets are being transmitted.
●
Caller ID support: Per-port caller ID (with per-call unblocking) is configurable over analog FXS.
●
Dial-plan mapping: This feature simplifies configuration and management through automatic mapping of
dialed phone numbers to IP addresses.
Voice port-specific features
●
FXS: FXS provides battery polarity reversal detection and initiation for disconnect supervision and far-end
answer supervision.
●
ISDN BRI network side and phantom power: The BRI port provides the ability to connect a private branch
exchange (PBX) or private automatic branch exchange (PABX) configured as user side directly to the router. It
also provides phantom power to accommodate equipment that requires it.
●
LED indicators show voice-processing resources and port status.
Fax and modem
●
Fax and modem pass-through allows fax and modem traffic to pass through a voice port.
●
Fax Relay provides a more robust protocol for fax transmission over packet networks. It also supports the T.37
and T.38 fax protocols.
High-performance flexible
digital-signal-processor
(DSP) architecture
●
Channel capacity: Cisco 880V supports up to four voice channels.
●
Flexible DSP architecture: There is no need to specify codec complexity at configuration. An appropriate
codec is dynamically selected when a call is established, while DSP resources are allocated optimally.
●
Feature upgrades: The DSP architecture allows for addition of new features through simple code updates.

Feature
Description
Cisco SRST version
SRST 7.0 and later are supported.
Call-control signaling
H.323 Versions 1, 2, 3, and 4, Media Gateway Control Protocol MGCP 0.1 and 1.0, Skinny Client Control Protocol
(SCCP), and SIP call-control protocols are supported.
ITU standard voice codecs
G.711, G.729, G.729a/b, G.723.1, G.726, and G.728, which are standards-based compression technologies
allowing transmission of voice across IP, are supported. The G.711 standard employs 64-kbps pulse code
modulation (PCM) using either mu-law or a-law. Other codecs employ lower bit rates.
Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
support
For SRST features for IP phones, refer to the SRST data sheet at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2169/products_data_sheets_list.html.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager support for analog and digital ports comes with Releases 6.1(3), 7.0(2),
and 7.1(3).
