Lab 13 - DTMF Relay

CCNA Voice Lab 13

DTMF Relay
Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to implement DTMF relay
functionality in Cisco IOS voice gatew ays
Topic Description:
DTMF, or Dual Tone Multi Frequency, refers to the tones that are played when the dial pad on a phone is
pressed. DTMF is often referred to as touch-tones. Because voice traffic is typically compressed, DTMF can
become distorted. The DTMF relay feature allow s the DTMF to be sent out-of-band, w hich resolves the
distortion problem
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 5/10
Readiness Assessment:
When ready for your exam, you should be able to complete this lab in no more than 15 minutes
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:

Lab 13 Configuration Tasks

Task 1:
Configure the hostnames and IP addresses on R2 and R4 as illustrated in the diagram. Configure R4 to
provide clocking to R2. Configure the clock rate on R4 as 800Kbps
Task 2:
Configure POTS dial peers for the connected phones on R2 and R4 as illustrated in the diagram. Use any
dial peer numbers you w ant
Task 3:

Task 3:
Configure VoIP dial peers on R2 and R4 for the extensions at either location. Use any dial peer numbers
you want
Task 4:
IVR applications are being used at both sites; however, there are a lot of issues being experienced
because DTMF tones are being sent in-band using the default DTMF relay method. To address and
resolve this issue, configure DMTF relay on R2 and R4 such that tones are sent out-of-band using H.245
signaling and the length of the tone is passed along
Task 5:
Verify your configuration using the appropriate show and debug commands

Lab 13 Configuration and Verification

Task 1:
R2(config)#hostname R2
R2(config)#interface Serial0/0
R2(config-if)#description .Connected To R4 Serial 0/1.
R2(config-if)#ip address 150.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
R4(config)#hostname R4
R4(config)#interface Serial0/1
R4(config-if)#description .Connected To R2 Serial 0/0
R4(config-if)#ip address 150.1.1.4 255.255.255.0
R4(config-if)#clock rate 800000
Verify connectivity by performing a simple ping betw een the two routers
R2#ping 150.1.1.4
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 150.1.1.4, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/4 ms
R4#ping 150.1.1.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 150.1.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/8 ms
Task 2:
R2(config)#dial-peer voice 1 pots
R2(config-dial-peer)#destination-pattern 1111
R2(config-dial-peer)#port 3/0/0
R2(config-dial-peer)#exit
R2(config)#dial-peer voice 2 pots
R2(config-dial-peer)#destination-pattern 1112
R2(config-dial-peer)#port 3/0/1
R2(config-dial-peer)#exit
R4(config)#dial-peer voice 1 pots
R4(config-dial-peer)#destination-pattern 2221
R4(config-dial-peer)#port 3/0/0
R4(config-dial-peer)#exit
R4(config)#dial-peer voice 2 pots
R4(config-dial-peer)#destination-pattern 2222
R4(config-dial-peer)#port 3/0/1
R4(config-dial-peer)#exit

Task 3:
R2(config)#dial-peer voice 3 voip
R2(config-dial-peer)#destination-pattern 222.
R2(config-dial-peer)#session target ipv4:150.1.1.4
R2(config-dial-peer)#exit
R4(config)#dial-peer voice 3 voip
R4(config-dial-peer)#destination-pattern 111.
R4(config-dial-peer)#session target ipv4:150.1.1.2
R4(config-dial-peer)#exit
Task 4:
R2(config)#dial-peer voice 3
R2(config-dial-peer)#dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
R2(config-dial-peer)#exit
R4(config)#dial-peer voice 3
R4(config-dial-peer)#dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
R4(config-dial-peer)#exit
Task 5:
First, verify that the configuration is correct using the show dial-peer voice command:
R2#show dial-peer voice 3 | i Voice|Type|type|DTMF|dtmf
VoiceOverIpPeer3
peer type = voice, information type = voice,
numbering Type = unknown'
DTMF Relay = enabled,
type = voip, session-target = ipv4:150.1.1.4',
dtmf-relay = h245-alphanumeric,
RTP dynamic payload type values: NTE = 101
Cisco: NSE=100, fax=96, fax-ack=97, dtmf=121, fax-relay=122
RTP comfort noise payload type = 19
Max Redirects = 1, signaling-type = cas,
R4#show dial-peer voice 3 | i Voice|Type|type|DTMF|dtmf
VoiceOverIpPeer3
peer type = voice, information type = voice,
numbering Type = unknown'
DTMF Relay = enabled,
type = voip, session-target = ipv4:150.1.1.2',
dtmf-relay = h245-alphanumeric,
RTP dynamic payload type values: NTE = 101
Cisco: NSE=100, fax=96, fax-ack=97, dtmf=121, fax-relay=122
RTP comfort noise payload type = 19
Max Redirects = 1, signaling-type = cas,
Next, place a call between any number on R2 and R4 and use the show call active voice command and
the options to ensure that H.245 alphanumeric is the DTM relay method:
R2#show call active voice compact
<callID> A/O FAX T<sec> Codec
type Peer Address
IP R<ip>:<udp>
Total call-legs: 2
