The CAS Signaling Wizard offers a possibility to configure the selected timeslot(s) and provides a variable group of parameters depending on the E1/T1 trunk configuration. All pages of the local call routing wizard provide the following buttons:
Previous leads back to the previous page.
Next leads forward to the next page. On the last
page of the Local Call Routing wizard the button is changed into Finish
to save all modifications.
Cancel leads back to the Local Call Routing table.
Help displays the online help.
CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 1 allows to configure signaling type settings and contains following components:
The Allowed Call Type drop down list is used to select the allowed call directions: incoming, outgoing or both.
The Signaling Type drop down list allows selecting the CAS signaling type.
Note:R2 signaling (compelled and non-compelled) can be used with an E1 interface both in User and Network modes. Quadro with E1 interface in the CAS mode detects the busy tone only in case of R2 compelled and non-compelled (both with and without ANI) signaling types.
The Force Update Timeslots checkbox can be optionally selected in order to apply new settings immediately. This will force the timeslot(s) to be restarted and any active connection on the selected timeslot(s) will be interrupted.
Note: Quadro does not support the Forward Digit selected on the CO when acting in the User mode with CAS Loop Start signaling type.
Get PSTN/PBX Error Message checkbox enables notification message in case of outgoing calls to unreachable, incorrect or non existent destination.
When Generate Progress Tone to PSTN/PBX checkbox is selected, Quadro generates ring tones to incoming callers during E1/T1 call dialing. This feature is mainly applicable to 2-stage dialing mode.
Enable Echo Cancellation checkbox enables the echo cancellation mechanism on the selected timeslot(s).
When Alternative Disconnection Mode checkbox is selected, the Quadro will play a busy tone towards the PBX/CO if the call has been failed. After 60 second timeout, the Quadro will disconnect the call from PBX/CO and will stop playing the busy tone.
Voice Establishment Procedure manipulation radio buttons group is used to select a method of voice establishment on the trunk:
On call acceptance - with this selection, voice will be established after call is being accepted.
On channel selection - with this selection, call will be accepted during channel selection. This selection is not allowed for R2 signaling.
On call ringing - with this selection, voice will be established after call is being ringing. Selection enables Generate Progress Tone checkbox which is used to enable the progress tone generation upon voice establishment.
CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 2 appears if the Signaling Type on the previous page is set to any of the E&M types or to R2 DTMF. The page provides the possibility of enabling the DID Service on the timeslot(s) and contains the following component:
The Enable DID Service checkbox is used to enable/disable DID (Direct Inward Dialing) service for the selected timeslot(s).
CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 3 allows to set the destination for incoming calls to be routed to and to enable Cut Through and Automat Ringing Down services for signaling different from R2 (all types). Page contains following components:
The Route Incoming Call to drop down list appears when Both incoming and outgoing calls or Incoming calls only is selected from the Allowed Call Type list and allows selecting the destination where incoming calls ought to be routed to. List contains all extensions of Quadro, Attendant and Routing agent which gives two kinds of call routing possibilities (for network mode only one possibility is present). Choosing the Routing selection (available in User mode only) will request the caller to pass the authentication (if enabled) and will invite him to dial the destination number to connect the user within the Quadro Network. Choosing the Routing with inbound destination number selection will automatically use the initially dialed number to connect the destination without any additional dialing.
When DID service is enabled (in User mode only), incoming calls can be only routed to the Routing agent with simple Routing and Routing with inbound destination number call routing possibilities.
Attention: When Quadro acts in the Network mode with the Attendant as a destination to route the incoming calls, digit forwarding should be disabled on the private PBX side otherwise incoming digits can be taken as a special calling codes on the Quadro's Attendant.
Cut Through checkbox is available when signaling selected from the Signaling Type drop down list on the CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 2 is different from R2 (all types) and is used to reconnect the call (terminated by some reason, e.g. user error, network problems, etc.) by going on-hook and off-hook again even if the call partner is off-hook and not involved in the call. Service is unavailable for all R2 signaling modes.
Automat Ringing Down checkbox is available when signaling selected from the Signaling Type drop down list on the CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 2 is different from R2 (all types) and allows an E1/T1 device connected to the Quadro to establish a hot-line call (automatic call without any digits dialed).
Pass Through Pound Sign (#) checkbox is only available when signaling selected from the Signaling Type drop down list on the CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 2 is different from E&M FGD or R2 (except for R2-DTMF). When this checkbox is selected, the pound sign (#) detected in the dialed number will be passed through and will be considered as a part of the dialed number. When this checkbox is not selected, the detected pound sign (#) will be considered as a call acceleration digit.
CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 4 appears only in E1 User mode when signaling selected from Signaling Type drop down list on the CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 2 is R2 (all types) and is used to configure country settings. Page consists of the following components:
Country drop down list is used to set the location where Quadro is located to support the correct functionality of R2 signaling. For countries absent in this list, use ITU selection.
Use Default Country Settings checkbox restores default advanced settings for the selected country. When this checkbox is not selected, next page will provide a possibility to manually configure advanced country settings.
CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 5 appears only in E1 User mode when signaling selected from Signaling Type drop down list on the CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 2 is R2 (all types) and when Use Default Country Settings checkbox is not selected on the previous page. This page is used to configure advanced country settings. Page consists of the following components:
ANI Category drop down list appears only when R2 signaling selected from Signaling Type drop down list on the CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 2 is different from R2 DTMF and is used to select the calling party priority depending on the call originator's location specifics.
ANI Request Transmit and ANI Request Receive drop down lists allow to select the Caller ID request R2 tones for transmit and receive.
Seize Acknowledge Timeout text field is used to define a timeout (in a range from 2 to 2000 milliseconds) between incoming seize signal and the corresponding feedback.
Answer Guard Timeout text field is used to define a wait timeout (in a range from 0 to 1000 milliseconds) Group-B Answer Signal and Line Answer.
Release Guard Timeout text field is used to define an idle timeout (in a range from 0 to 120000 milliseconds) between the disconnect signal receipt and call disconnection.
Dialing Delay Timeout text field is used to define a timeout (in a range from 0 to 2000 milliseconds) before injecting dialed digits. Timeout specially refers to R2 DTMF signaling.
Incoming DNIS Size text field indicates the number of received digits (in a range from 0 to 255) required to establish a call. When field has 0 value, system uses either timeout defined in the Incoming digits timeout field or the End of Address messages to establish a call. Independent on the value in this field, the message End of Address always cause the call establishment.
Usused A:B:C:D text fields require to configure unused C and D bits of E1/T1 CAS signaling (A and B bits are predefined). Fields may have either 0 or 1 values.
Invert A:B:C:D text fields are used to invert the ABCD status bits in time-slot 16 before TX and after RX. If bit is set to 1, the router inverts it before transmission and after the receipt.
End of DNIS (I-15) checkbox is used to enable End of DNIS service.
The Allow Timeslot Blocking checkbox indicates whether the system should use blocked timeslots to make outgoing PSTN calls. If this checkbox is selected, the system will NOT use timeslots blocked by the carrier. If the checkbox is clear, the system will try to unblock the timeslots and will make outgoing calls if succeeded.
Collect Call checkbox is only available when Brazil is selected in the Country drop down list on the previous page of the wizard and when the PBX attached to the Quadro supports this feature. When this checkbox is selected and in case of incoming calls, always the called destination will pay for the call. Option is particularly applicable when calling from the mobile phone. Checkbox should be selected when the appropriate feature is enabled on the PBX.
Group B Support manipulation radio button group is present only when R2 signaling selected from Signaling Type drop down list on the CAS Signaling Wizard - Page 2 is different from R2 DTMF and is used to enable/disable the Group B Support. The Group B Support manipulation radio button group offers following selection:
Enable - this selection enables Group B Support both for answer and busy recognitions of transmit and receive signals. This selection requires you to define transmit and receive signals. The Transmit Answer Signal and Transmit Busy Signal parameters are defined from the drop down lists on this page. When transmit signals are selected, press Next on this page to access the R2 Receive Signal Settings page where Receive Answer Signal and Receive Busy Signal should be defined. Use the checkboxes to select the Receive Answer Signal and Receive Busy Signal values. Multiple values are allowed for each signal.
Note: Warning appears if you have selected the same signal type both for receive answer and receive busy recognitions.
Partial Enable - selection partially enables Group B Support with for answer recognition only. This selection requires you to define transmit and receive signals. The Transmit Answer Signal parameter is defined from the drop down list on this page. When transmit signal is selected, press Next on this page to access the R2 Receive Signal Settings page where Receive Answer Signal should be defined. Use the checkboxes to select the Receive Answer Signal value. Multiple values are allowed for each signal.
Disable - selection disables Group B Support and requires defining the Answer Signal parameter.
