FXS interface configuration task list
This section describes the configuration tasks for FXS interfaces. There is no mandatory configuration for basic
FXS operation—most configuration commands refer to the use of supplementary services.
Next to the basic CS interface settings, the following configurations can be made:
• Configuring a subscriber number (recommended)
• Using an alternate PSTN profile (optional)
• Configuring caller-id presentation (optional)
• Configuring call holding supplementary service (optional)
• Configuring call waiting supplementary service (optional)
• Configuring additional call offering supplementary service (optional)
Configuring a subscriber number (recommended)
Contrary to ISDN, where each terminal knows its own subscriber number (MSN), an analog device doesn't
have this capability. If such a device is connected to an FXS port and makes an outgoing call (goes off hook and
dials), the dialed digits form the called party number. But there is no calling party information available from
the POTS protocol. To insert calling party information and make it available to other protocols over which the
call may be transported, a subscriber number must be configured on the interface.
Note
The configured subscriber number does not affect the routing of incoming
calls on the interface.
Procedure: To configure a subscriber number for calls originating from the interface
Mode: Interface FXS

The following example shows how to set the subscriber number.

node(cfg)#context cs
node(ctx-cs)[switch]#interface fxs myFxsIf
node(if-fxs)[myFxsIf]#subscriber-number 110
Configuring an alternate PSTN profile (optional)
The PSTN profile contains the configuration for data/voice transmission on circuit-switched channels (see
chapter 41, "PSTN profile configuration"
to the analog line associated with the interface.
