Configuring Support for PBX Signalling Protocols
This chapter describes how to configure support for PBX signalling formats such as Q.SIG and
transparent common channel signalling (CCS). Configuring support for these signalling protocols on
your router enables the router to interoperate with PBXs running these signalling protocols.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Configuring Q.SIG PRI Signalling Support
� Configuring Transparent CCS on the Cisco MC3810

Configuring Support for PBX Signalling Protocols Configuring Transparent CCS on the Cisco MC3810 Note When CCS frame-forwarding is configured, the speed (clock rate) of serial interface 1 on the Cisco MC3810 is limited to a maximum of 192 kbps. This restriction assumes that the MFT is installed in slot 3 on the Cisco MC3810. If the MFT is not installed, then serial interface 1 will not operate at all, but CCS frame-forwarding will be supported on other interfaces. Figure 100 shows an exam
