Overview
The J1 voice interface card (VIC) provides the proper interface for directly connecting Cisco multiservice access routers to Private Branch Exchanges (PBXs) throughout Japan which use a J1 interface (2.048 Mbps TDM interface). This interface card supports 30 voice channels per port. The 1-port J1 multiflex line interface card provides an interface based on the Standards JJ-20.10-12. It supports voice applications only .
The J1 voice interface card provides the software and hardware features required to connect to over 80 percent of the PBXs within Japan that use digital interfaces. This J1 voice interface card provides a TTC JJ-20.11 compliant interface between high-density voice network modules (NM-HDV) and a Japanese PBX.
Figure 1 shows the earlier solution offered to customers in Japan. A J1/T1 adapter box installed between the PBX and router provides the translation between J1 using coded mark inversion (CMI) line coding at a bit rate of 2.048 Mbps and a T1 line using either alternate mark inversion (AMI) or B8ZS line coding at a bit rate of 1.544 Mbps. Note that with this solution, only 24 channels are supported, instead of the full 30 channels of the J1 interface.
Figure 1 Solution without J1 Interface Card
Figure 2 shows the solution using the J1 interface card. The interface is now between J1 and the VIC's time division multiplex access (TDMA) bus. Note that with this solution all 30 channels of the J1 interface are supported.

Safety with Electricity
Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the router first.To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
•Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power OFF.
•Before working on the router, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
•Disconnect all power before doing the following:
–Installing or removing a router chassis
–Working near power supplies
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Warning Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages.To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
•Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is OFF and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
•Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
•If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
–Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
–Turn OFF power to the router.
–If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim and then call for help.
–Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and equipment to install a voice interface card in Cisco 3600 series and Cisco 2600 series routers:
•J1 voice interface card
•Network module
•Number 2 Phillips screwdriver or small flat-blade screwdriver
•ESD-preventive wrist strap
•Tape (if using DC power)
Installing the Digital J1 Voice Interface Card
This section describes the 1-port J1 voice interface card (VIC-1J1).
The 1-port J1 voice interface cards provide voice access to PBXs with J1 interfaces. These cards provide single-port interfaces for basic voice service for J1 networks.
Figure 3 1-Port J1 Voice Interface Card (VIC-1J1)—Front Panel
Voice interface cards fit into a high-density voice network module (Cisco part number NM-HDV). The network module installs into the router chassis.
Inserting the Voice Interface Card into the Network Module
Caution Voice interface cards do not support online insertion and removal (hot swapping). Before inserting a voice interface card into a network module that is already installed in the router chassis, you must turn OFF electrical power and disconnect network cables. If you are using a Cisco 3660 router, the network module can be removed, the VIC inserted, and the network module can be reinserted without removing power. Refer to the
Cisco 3600 Series Hardware Installation Guide for more information about hot-swapping Cisco 3660 components. See the
"Obtaining Documentation" section.
Timesaver You can install voice interface cards either before or after mounting the router, whichever is more convenient. You can install the card in the network module either before or after installing the network module in the router chassis.
Follow this procedure to insert the voice interface card into the network module:
Step 1 If the network module has already been installed in the router chassis, turn OFF power to the router. However, to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not unplug the power cable. Remove all network interface cables, including telephone cables, from the rear panel.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.
Step 2 Using either a number 2 Phillips screwdriver or a small flat-blade screwdriver, remove the blank filler panel from the network module slot where you plan to install the card. Save the blank panel for future use.
Note The J1 VIC ships with an M3 metric female jackscrew. If the jackscrew is removed, the male side of the jackscrews are not metric and have a 4-40 thread.
Step 3 Align the card with the guides in the network module and slide it gently into the slot, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 Inserting the J1 VIC into the High Density Voice Network Module
Step 4 Push the card into place until you feel its edge connector mate securely with the connector in the network module.
Step 5 Fasten the card's captive mounting screws into the holes in the network module faceplate, using the Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.
Step 6 If the router was previously running, reinstall the network interface cables and turn ON power to the router.
The following warnings apply to routers that use a DC power supply:
Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position.
Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use.
Connecting the 1-Port J1 Voice Interface Card to the Network
For this connection, use twisted-pair cables with DB-15 connectors.
Step 1 Confirm that the router is still turned OFF.
Step 2 Connect one end of the cable to the J1 port on the card.
Step 3 Connect the other end to the J1 connector at the PBX at your site, as shown in Figure 5.

Configuring J1 Voice Interfaces
To configure a voice interface, use configuration mode (manual configuration) in Cisco IOS software. In this mode, you enter Cisco IOS commands at the router prompt.
Note Voice ports for the J1 interface must be configured manually.
Note Before you begin, disconnect all WAN cables from the router to keep it from trying to run the AutoInstall process. The router tries to run AutoInstall whenever you power it on if there is a WAN connection on both ends and the router does not have a valid configuration file stored in NVRAM (for example, when you add a new interface). It can take several minutes for the router to determine that AutoInstall is not connected to a remote Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) host.
This section describes basic configuration, including enabling the interface and configuring voice ports. Depending on your own requirements and the protocols you plan to route, you might also need to enter other configuration commands.
Note The VIC-1J1 supports voice applications only. It does not support data applications.
See the following sections for configuration tasks for this feature. Each task in the list is identified as either required or optional:
•Configuring the J1 Controller (required)
•Configuring Channel-Associated Signaling (optional)
•Configuring the Clock Source (optional)
•Configuring Loopback (optional)
•Configuring Transparent Common Channel Signaling for a Clear-Channel Codec (optional)
•Verifying Configuration (optional)
Before you begin configuring the interfaces, make sure you:
•Connect a console to the router.
•Turn ON power to the router.
If you have questions or need help, see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section.

•The asterisk character (*) that appears on standard touch-tone dial pads can be in any dial string—but not as a leading character (for example, *650).
•The period (.) acts as a wildcard character.
•Use the comma (,) only in prefixes, the comma inserts a one-second pause.
When the timer (T) character is included at the end of the destination pattern, the system collects dialed digits as they are entered—until the interdigit timer expires (10 seconds, by default)—or the user dials the termination of end-of-dialing key (default is #).
Note The timer character must be a capital T.
|
Step 8
|
Router(config-dialpeer)# port slot/port:ds0-group-no
|
This command associates the dial peer with a specific logical interface.
The value of slot is the router location where the voice module is installed. Valid entries are from 0 to 3.
The value of port indicates the voice interface card location. Valid entries are 0 or 1.
Each defined DS0 group number is represented on a separate voice port. This allows you to define individual DS0s.
|
Step 9
|
Router(config-dialpeer)# exit
|
Exit dial-peer configuration mode to complete the POTS dial-peer configuration.
|
Step 10
|
Router(config)# dial-peer voice number voip
|
Enter dial-peer configuration mode and defines a remote VoIP dial peer.
The value of number is one or more digits identifying the dial peer. Valid entries are 1 to 2147483647.
The voip argument indicates a VoIP peer using voice encapsulation on the IP network.
|
Step 11
|
Router(config-dialpeer)# codec clear-channel
|
The voice-card configuration codec complexity command sets the codec options that are available when you use this command.
Set codec complexity to clear-channel to use the clear channel codec.
|
Step 12
|
Router(config-dialpeer)# vad
|
(optional) This setting is enabled by default. It activates voice activity detection (VAD) which allows the system to reduce unnecessary voice transmissions caused by unfiltered background noise.
|
Step 13
|
Router(config-dialpeer)# destination-pattern
string [T]
|
Configures the dial peer's destination pattern so that the system can reconcile dialed digits with a telephone number.
The value of string is a series of digits that specify the E.164 or private dialing plan phone number. Valid entries are the digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to D. The plus symbol (+) is not valid. You can enter the following special characters:
•The star character (*) that appears on standard touch-tone dial pads can be in any dial string—but not as a leading character (for example, *650).
•The period (.) acts as a wildcard character.
•Use the comma (,) only in prefixes, the comma inserts a one-second pause.
When the timer (T) character is included at the end of the destination pattern, the system collects dialed digits as they are entered—until the interdigit timer expires (10 seconds, by default)—or the user dials the termination of end-of-dialing key (default is #).
Note The timer character must be a capital T.
|
Step 14
|
Router(config-dialpeer)# session target
{ipv4:destination-address | dns:[$s$. | $d$. | $e$. | $u$.]
host-name}
|
Configures the IP session target for the dial peer.
The ipv4:destination-address parameter indicates IP address of the dial peer.
The dns:host-name parameter indicates that the domain name server will resolve the name of the IP address. Valid entries for this parameter are characters representing the name of the host device.
Wildcards are also available for defining domain names with keywords by using source, destination, and dialed information in the host name.

Step 15
|
Router(config-dialpeer)# exit
|
Exits dial peer configuration mode for the VoIP dial-peer configuration.

Verifying Configuration
To verify that J1 controller is configured correctly, enter the show running-config privileged EXEC command to display the command settings for the router, as shown in the"Configuration Examples" section.
Troubleshooting Tips
Diagnostics and Fault Isolation
The J1 Framer has three loopback modes which are initiated through software control; line loopback, local loopback, and isolation loopback. These modes are explained and illustrated in the sections that follow. Line loopback loops the received signal (R-D) from the PBX to the transmit going back to the PBX. Local loopback loops the transmitted signal (T-D) from the host to the received signal going back to the host. Isolation loopback routes PBX and TDM generated traffic back to their respective sources. (Tx=transmit interface; Rx=receive interface;
Tip / Ring leads carry audio between the signaling unit and the trunking circuit).
Line Loopback
To place the controller into line loopback, use the following command in controller configuration mode.
Command
|
Purpose
|
loopback line
|
Line loopback loops the receiver inputs to the transmitter outputs. The receive path is not affected by the activation of this loopback.
|
Figure 6 Line Loopback
Local Loopback
To place the controller into local loopback, use the following command in controller configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to turn off the loopback. The command should only be used for testing purposes.
Command
|
Purpose
|
loopback local
|
Local loopback loops the transmit line encoder outputs to the receive line encoder inputs. The transmit path is not affected by the activation of this loopback.
|
Figure 7 Local Loopback
Isolation Loopback
To place the controller into line loopback, use the following command in controller configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to turn off the loopback. The command should only be used for testing purposes.
Command
|
Purpose
|
loopback isolation
|
Both line and local loopback are turned on.
|

Monitoring and Maintaining the J1 Controller
To monitor and maintain the J1 controller use the following privileged EXEC command.
Command
|
Purpose
|
Router# show controllers j1 slot/port
|
Displays statistics for the J1 link.

Configuration Examples
The following examples display the screen output using the show running-config command:
•Controller (J1) Example
•Channel-Associated Signaling Example
•Clock Source Example
•Loopback Example
Controller (J1) Example
The following example shows the Cisco IOS interface card in slot 4, port 0 of a Cisco 3660 configured as a J1 controller:
Channel-Associated Signaling Example
The following example shows the DS0 groups on the J1 controller.
ds0-group 1 timeslots 1-15,17-31 type e&m-wink-start
Loopback Example
The following example shows the loopback method for testing the J1 interface is set at the line level.
Clock Source Example
The following example shows the J1 controller clock source is configured to line, where the controller recovers external clock from the line and provides the recovered clock to the internal (system) clock generator.
Command Reference
This section documents new and modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2 command reference publications.
Modified Commands
•clock source (controller j1)
