Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Configuration Guide
The RPM customer profile template for the PPP command set, when used with the Cisco IOS feature,
Server Groups Selected by DNIS, presents a strong single NAS solution for providers of wholesale dial
services, as follows:
• Call acceptance is determined by the RPM before call answering, using the configured size limits
and resource availability.
• The answered call then uses the PPP configuration defined in the template to initiate authentication,
obtain an IP address, and select a DNS or WINS that is located at the customer site.
• The same DNIS that was used to choose the customer profile selects the servers for
authentication/authorization and accounting that are located at the wholesale customer’s site.
The section “Configuring a Customer Profile Template” later in this chapter describes how to create a
customer profile template so that you can configure the Cisco IOS PPP features on a customer profile,
but this section does not list the existing PPP command set. For information about the PPP command set,
refer to the Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Command Reference.
DNIS Groups
A DNIS group is a configured list of DNIS called party numbers that correspond to the numbers dialed
to access particular customers, service offerings, or both. For example, if a customer from phone number
000-1234 calls a number 000-5678, the DNIS provides information on the number dialed—000-5678.
Cisco RPM checks the DNIS number of inbound calls against the configured DNIS groups, as follows:
• If Cisco RPM finds a match, it uses the configured information in the customer profile to which the
DNIS group is assigned.
• If Cisco RPM does not find a match, it uses the configured information in the customer profile to
which the default DNIS group is assigned.
• The DNIS/call type sequence can be associated only with one customer profile.
CLID Groups
A CLID group is a configured list of CLID calling party numbers. The CLID group specifies a list of
numbers to reject if the group is associated with a call discriminator. For example, if a customer from
phone number 000-1234 calls a number 000-5678, the CLID provides information on the calling party
number—000-1234.
A CLID can be associated with only one CLID group.
Call Types
Call types from calls originating from ISDN, SS7, and CAS (CT1, CT3, and CE1) are used to assign
calls to the appropriate resource. Call types for ISDN and SS7 are based on Q.931 bearer capability. Call
types for CAS are assigned based on static channel configuration.
Supported call types are as follows:
• Speech
• Digital
• V.110
• V. 1 20
