Configuring Voice Ports

This section describes the procedure for viewing, adding, or changing voice ports. Voice ports identify

the physical location and characteristics of a voice interface at a DS0 level. A Media Gateway Controller

manages SVC (Switched Virtual Circuit) end points and connections.

The Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway identifies a voice port by a logical port number that is independent

of the port’s physical location. The following parameters describe the physical location:

• Slot number

• Port number

• DS0 number

NSC lines always need a voice port configured; BSC lines have a default configuration. When you add

or change a voice port, you associate a logical port number with these physical descriptors. Voice ports

have settings for dejitter, packet loading, and other voice parameters.

Viewing Active Calls

Active call information is useful for audits or trouble analysis. The Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway

displays active calls as follows

• Viewing calls by physical resource

• Viewing calls by transaction
