Introduction
Introduction
Interoperability between the old and traditional time division multiplexing (TDM) networks and the new
and advanced packet networks is an essential part of technology adoption for packet networks. This
release of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch extends its capability to provide the bridge between the
legacy public switched telephone network (PSTN) and next-generation packet networks—supporting
centralized call control and intelligent routing for both TDM-based interfaces (SS7, PRI, QSIG, and
DPNSS endpoints) and IP-based interfaces (and H.323 endpoints).
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch provides a consistent and unified interconnection that supports the
Cisco Voice Infrastructure and Applications (VIA) applications (Dial and Voice transit), Cisco Business
Voice Services applications (Hosted or Managed IP Telephony), and Cisco Broadband Residential Voice
applications (ETTx). The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch allows service providers to deploy and operate
multiple network solutions while maintaining a stable interconnection to the PSTN.

Required Swap Space
For the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software, partition 4 GB of swap space. Setting swap space at
installation is recommended; however, you can change swap space at a later date by adding a swap file
or repartitioning the swap space using the format menu (for example, reassigning how many cylinders
are in each partition). The swap space requirement is determined by the amount of traffic. As traffic
increases, use the MML rtrv-ne-health command to observe the amount of swap space that is being
used; then decide to increase the swap space if more is needed.
Note
Solaris uses swap as a file system cache in addition to virtual memory paging. It is normal to observe
both physical and virtual memory completely consumed on Solaris. It is better to monitor usage with
vmstat -p and vmstat -p 1 along with iostat -xtc.
Host Hardware Requirements
Host Minimum Server Requirements
See Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Hardware Installation Guide–Releases 7 & 9 for the host minimum
hardware requirements. Before using the minimum hardware configuration, consult with your Cisco
representative to determine the hardware that will give you the best performance results based on your
network configuration, proposed traffic, and desired processing power.

This A-Number Country Code Digit Remove Property feature (CSCsa75618) introduces the trunk group
property AdigitCCrm to the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. If the AdigitCCrm trunk group property is a
nonnull value and the A-number NOA is international, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch can remove
from one to five leading digits that match the AdigitCCrm property value (the country code). In addition
to removal of the country code, the NOA value in the ISUP message is modified from international to
national.
Note
For more information, see the A-Number Country Code Digit Remove Property feature module.
Backwards Propagation of SIP REFER over SS7 Using REL with RDN
The Backwards Propagation of SIP REFER over SS7 Using REL with RDN feature (CSCsl06237)
allows a SIP REFER on the terminating call to be propagated back to the originating SS7 call by sending
a REL that contains the redirection number and redirection information. The REFER is acknowledged
with an indication of success and the call is immediately released on receipt of an RLC.

Blind Take Back and Transfer Replacement
The Blind Take Back and Transfer Replacement feature (CSCsd28134) provides support on the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch of the blind take back and transfer of a call by using digits received midcall
via DTMF to invoke a blind call transfer. This type of call flow is typically found in use by traditional
TDM user support groups to transfer calls to a service agent from a different group or location. The
DTMF digits are received from the called attendant in the conversation phase of the call, and the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch autonomously reroutes the call based upon the analysis of the received
DTMF digits.
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch supports TDM-based transferring agents and calling party for this feature.
A new sigpath and trunkgroup property MidCallServiceCustID allows Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to
enable this feature.
Note
For more information, see the Blind Take Back and Transfer Replacement feature module.
Call Reporting
The Call Reporting feature (CSCsx16398) enables the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to generate an alarm
if a caller dials a particular number. Users specify the number as a digit string (for example, the
emergency number 999 in the United Kingdom, or 911 in the United States). In response to such an
alarm, a security team can capture the alert and respond appropriately.
The Call Reporting feature also enables the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to report call details by way of
SNMP to a network element management system such as the
Cisco Media Gateway Controller Node Manager (Cisco MNM). Also, users can provision the Call
Reporting feature by using the Cisco Voice Services Provisioning Tool (Cisco VSPT) as an alternative
method to an MML command session.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
OL-15494-20

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Calling Name Delivery (CNAM)
The Calling Name Delivery feature (CSCsc56989) allows the name of the calling party to be delivered
to the called party if the called party has subscribed to the calling name delivery feature. Hence it is a
terminating feature.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch supports Transactional Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) query to
a CNAM database, if needed, based on the called party number. The retrieved CNAM is passed to the
egress destination if and only if it is allowed based on calling name delivery blocking (CNAB) and
calling identity delivery and suppression (CIDS) information.
Note
For more information, see the Calling Name Delivery (CNAM) feature module.
CODEC and DTMF Preferential Routing Enhancements
The CODEC and DTMF Preferential Routing Enhancements feature (CSCsa81867) provides the
following:
Note
•
Extends the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch ability to influence CODEC selection to IP calls (SIP and
H.323).
•
Allows users to determine that there is no common CODEC or DTMF capability between a certain
ingress and egress destination, allowing route advance to an egress destination that can either
directly handle the combination, or else an IP-IP gateway that can perform transcoding.
•
Supports route advance when the type of DTMF interworking does not match.
For more information, see the CODEC and DTMF Preferential Routing Enhancements feature module.
Configuration Check for Active and Standby
The Configuration Check for Active and Standby feature (CSCsq83084) checks the configurations on
the active and the standby systems. If they are not the same, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch raises a
minor alarm to remind you.
This functionality is disabled as default. Use a parameter (pom.checkConfigInterval) in XECfgParm.dat
to enable this functionality and to determine how often you want to check the configuration.
If you do not enable pom.checkConfigInterval, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch does not enable this
functionality. To check the configuration every 30 minutes, manually add a new line, for example:
“pom.checkConfigInterval = 1800 “in XECfgParm.dat
The time unit is in seconds. If you set a checkConfigInterval less than 30 minutes, the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch sets this value to 30 minutes automatically.
The newly added alarm in alarmCats.dat is:
460 “Peer Config Mismatched” 1 Y
same” “Peer Config Mismatched” 3
“Configurations on Active and Standby not exactly the

OL-15494-20
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Digit Buffering for International Gateways
The Digit Buffering for International Gateways feature (CSCsa60885) adds a sigPath property
(TBufferDigitLength) that allows you to limit the digit length of the called party number (B-number) in
the outgoing ISUP IAM and SAM(s). If the number of digits in the next SAM is also greater than the
limit, the number of digits in the SAM is limited again, until all digits are passed in SAM(s). This is
required for proper interconnection to certain international networks.
This feature provides the following:
•
Ability to limit the called party number in the ISUP IAM and SAM message
•
Option for direct connection between the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and certain international
networks
The TBufferDigitLength property works with the following:
Note
•
Built-in digit length limit of the terminating protocol—Maximum number of digits allowed in the
outgoing IAM and SAM(s) is determined by the TBufferDigitLength and the build in protocol
limitation, whichever is less.
•
OD32DigitSupport (sigPath property)—Setting OD32DigitSupport to 1, sets the built-in digit
length limit to 32 digits.
•
TOverlap (sigPath property)—Setting TOverlap to 0, causes extra digits cut from the IAM to be
discarded. A SAM is not allowed on the terminating side.
•
TMaxDigits (sigPath property)—TMaxDigits ensures the total number of digit in the IAM and SAM
messages does not exceed the provisioned value.
For more information, see the Digit Buffering for International Gateways feature module.
DPNSS Service Interworking with Cisco CallManager Using QSIG Tunneling
The DPNSS Service Interworking with Cisco CallManager Using QSIG Tunneling feature
(CSCsb25089) enables full end-to-end route optimization for mixed Cisco Call Manager (CCM) and
DPNSS PBX networks. In addition, numerous other services, such as call completion, call transfer, call
diversion, and caller id can be inter-worked between CCM and DPNSS/QSIG networks. This feature
allows the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to interwork QSIG and DPNSS PBXs and provides an extensive
set of feature support. Tunneled QSIG features can be interworked with both DPNSS and backhauled
QSIG.
Note
For more information, see the DPNSS Service Interworking with Cisco CallManager Using QSIG
Tunneling feature module.
Enhanced Local Number Portability and Dial Plan Selection
The Enhanced Local Number Portability and Dial Plan Selection feature (CSCsg38811) extends the
table look up capability to provide searches with longest match and partial (substring) matches for the
Ported number and A number dial plan selection tables.

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
The following are the benefits of this feature:
Note
•
Makes the Times-ten database reading more flexible to support partial matching and longest
matching in addition to exact matching.
•
Enhances the Local Number Portability (LNP) call processing to better deal with overlap
receiving/sending using variable number lengths to minimize call set up delays.
•
Ensures that database sizes are sufficiently large to meet user needs now and for the future.
•
Ensures that database bulk loading is efficient.
For more information, see the Enhanced Local Number Portability and Dial Plan Selection feature
module.
FCI and TMR Provisioning
The FCI and TMR Provisioning feature (CSCee00580) adds the capability to set a default for the ISUP
Forward Call Indicators (FCI) field and the ISUP Transmission Media Requirement (TMR) field. This
enhancement enables new SIP sigpath properties used to control the mapping rule between ISUP-CLI
and SIP headers. The new properties are shown in Table 5.
Table 5
New SIP Properties for FCI and TMR Provisioning
Property
Definition
DefaultFCINatInd
Provisions the FCI A bit (national call indicator) integer. If you do not configure it, then the
SIP module takes the default value. Both ISUP and TUP use this bit. For eisup national
indicator transparency, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch checks for the existence of national
indicator. If there is already an A_CC_oNatInd, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch uses it rather
than generate it from NOA.
Valid Values: 0 or 1 (integer)
where:
0 = national call
1 = international call
Default Value=0 indicates that the call is treated as a national call
Dynamically Reconfigurable: yes
DefaultTmr
Provisions the Transmission medium requirement (TMR).
Valid Values: String
SPEECH
UNRES_64K
AUDIO_3K
Default Value: SPEECH
Dynamically Reconfigurable: yes

OL-15494-20
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Flexible Cause Handling
The Flexible Cause Handling feature (CSCsr67508) changes the way that the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch handles cause analysis. When the external release is received, the cause is
saved off separately, ready for any ultimate release following the exhaustion of all existing trunk groups.
A new internal cause value 222 (IC_NO_TRKGRP_AVAILABLE) allows the following behavior: when
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch exhausts all Trunk Groups, this cause value is presented internally to
cause analysis. This behavior allows a last chance routing if this cause value is configured in the cause
table. If that final attempt finds no routing and the call is to be released, the cause originally received
and saved from the terminating line side is used. In this way, you have the benefit of the original
functionality enabling a last chance in cause analysis. This method complies with other requirements for
maintaining and returning the received cause value when clearing the call.
Provision this feature if the call is rejected by the terminating side and Reattempt or Trunk group
Advance is invoked to try all the available trunk groups in turn. When all the trunk groups are exhausted,
use this cause value to run cause analysis and take desired actions, for example, to modify B number and
select an alternative route or to change to a new dial plan.
To provision this feature, start a new provisioning session and add a new cause analysis. For example:
numan-add:cause:custgrpid=”1111”,causevalue=222,setname="rsetPeerPGW"
This produces two results in result set rsetPeerPGW:
mml> numan-rtrv:resultset:custgrpid="1111",name="rsetPeerPGW"
Full Number Translations
The Full Number Translations feature (CSCeg33917) provides a large-scale, number translation function
on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. This feature enhances the current Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
database query mode, which is used for local number portability (LNP) and calling line identification
(CLI) screening, by handling contiguous ranges of numbers with analysis and modification capabilities.
The Full Number Translations feature supports large-scale changes of individual numbers. This feature
adds the NUM_TRANS result type that is implemented in analysis where the existing Times Ten
database is used to store the dial plan numbers.
The full number replacement mechanism adds a general number replacement result type,
NUM_TRANS, available for A-number and B-number analysis. In addition, a Times Ten query and full
number translation table are added.
The purpose of this result is to indicate one of a possible enumerated list of numbers which require full
replacement.
Note
For more information, see the Full Number Translations feature module.
Global Title Provisioning
This feature (CSCsa75613) provides support on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to provision the
Signaling System 7 (SS7) global title used for Intelligent Network (IN) operations. With this feature, the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch can be provisioned to use an SS7 point code or to use an SS7 global title.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
OL-15494-20
15
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Additionally, you can set the point code and subsystem number (SSN) if the point code method is used,
or set the global title to use the calling number, called number, or a fixed value if the global title method
is used.
This feature provides the following capabilities:
Note
•
Provisioning the SS7 global title used for IN operations.
•
Using an SS7 point code or an SS7 global title.
•
Setting different IN service key, SSN, plus DPC routing method or global title routing for different
services.
For more information, see the Global Title Provisioning feature module.
H.248 Protocol
The H.248 Protocol feature provides another gateway control interface (in addition to MGCP) between
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and the VXSM gateways. This interface is based on the
ITU-SG16/IETF specification of H.248, which defines a decomposed gateway architecture. This
architecture is composed of a media gateway controller (MGC) and the media gateways (MG), with
distributed call control functionality between an MGC, an intelligent entity that manages the
establishment and tearing down of calls, and an MG—a simple entity that responds to the MGC requests
and independently processes media streams.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch fulfills the MGC functions specified in the H.248 series specification.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch supports only the function of interworking with trunking gateways.
Note
For more information, see the H.248 Protocol feature module.
Increase Dial Plan Size
The Increase Dial Plan Size feature (CSCsb89438) allows the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to increase
the index for the dial plan from 16 bits to 32 bits. The new dial plan size limit is 256K digit nodes.
This feature makes changes to MML commands. The digitToPresent is removed from digit tree;
therefore, the parameter digitToPresent is removed from NUMAN-ADD: BDIGITTREE and
NUMAN-ADD: ADIGITTREE. For the same reason, similar changes are applied to NUMAN-ED and
NUMAN_DLT commands.
Lawful Intercept
The Lawful Intercept (LI) feature on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch allows authorized by a LEA (Law
Enforcement Agency) personnel to intercept data from targeted calls and send the call data to a LI
Mediation Device.

OL-15494-20
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
LI on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch works within the architecture of the Cisco Service Independent
Intercept (SII). This document describes the high-level architecture of Lawful Intercept in the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch based on Packet Cable Electronic Surveillance Specification and Packet
Cable Event Message Specification.
Note
For more information, see the Lawful Intercept feature module.
Licensing Features for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
To manage licenses, Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch provides license files that are stored in a directory
where Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch obtains the required license information. The
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch uses the license file to enforce the capacity and features available. Each
feature line of the license file is encrypted. Licensing also applies to HSI and BAMS components.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch requires a unique license file during the execution of the software. This
license file allows the software to be loaded and run on a specified set of active and standby servers.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch tracks the number of ports that are configured in your
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch node (one active and standby pair) and compares this to the number of
Right To Use (RTU) licenses that you purchased. All port licenses are in time division multiplexing
(TDM) (DS0) or call leg units. A licensing check is done at run-time.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch uses the FLEXlm license server from Macrovision Corporation as the
license server for all components. To use Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software Release 9.7(3) and later,
you must install a license server.
Note
For more information, see the Licensing Features for PGW 2200 feature module.
Live Upgrade from 9.6 Sparc to 9.7 Sparc and Opteron
The Live Upgrade From 9.6 Sparc to 9.7 Sparc and Opteron feature (CSCso49604) allows you to upgrade
from Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.6 of the Sparc platform to Release 9.7 and later releases.
The target platforms apply to Opteron as well as to Sparc. The normal upgrade and patching procedures
since 9.7 are same as before and not broken by this feature. For more information, see
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7 Software Installation and Configuration Guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/pgw/9/installation/software/SW1/97.html
Loose Routing Support
The Loose Routing Support feature (CSCsd83313) supports the SIP loose routing functionality as it is
defined in RFC 3261, SIP: Session Initiation Protocol.
Previously, Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch used strict routing as defined in RFC 2543, which is superseded
by the loose routing mechanism defined in RFC 3261. The main difference between those two routing
methods is that strict routing overwrites the request-line to indicate the next hop server address to
forward the request; whereas, the request-line remains the same throughout the call routing in
loose-routing (typically representing the final destination). This situation is true as long as the proxy
handling the request is not responsible for the domain specified in the request-line.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
OL-15494-20
17
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
The Loose Routing feature provides the following:
•
Ability to define the routing mode of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, strict or loose router (new
property sipRoutingMode)
•
Flexible property control of ingress routing (new property sipIngressRoutingControl)
•
Flexible property control of egress routing (new property sipEgressRoutingControl)
•
Improved call matching based on To: From: tags
•
Additional CDR records—SIP Routing URI Source (Tag 4247), SIP Routing URI (Tag 4248)
•
Loose Routing that is fully backward compatible with strict routing applications
Mini-Parse Analyzing Tool
The Mini-Parse Analyzing Tool feature (CSCsk32769) supplies a tracing tool (mini_parse.pl) that can
provide a detailed analysis of call flows.
Mini-parse provides a simple flow diagram of events that are contained in an MDL trace file (.trc).
Usage: mini_parse.pl [-d] [-b] [-i] [-m] [-s] <tracefile>
•
-d—adds additional message decode
•
-b—adds additional B Number analysis info
•
-m—print messages only (no internal signals)
•
-i—adds additional IN info
•
-s—adds state transitions
The output can be redirected to a file.
Multiple Incoming IP Trunks
The Multiple Incoming IP Trunks feature (CSCsj52735) allows multiple incoming trunkgroups to be
configured under the SIP path and EISUP path. SIP trunkgroups can be differentiated by a combination
of the source SIP proxy IP and Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch listening port number. EISUP incoming
trunkgroups can be differentiated by the H323SourceAddress retrieved from EISUP IAM message. Each
trunkgroup can be provisioned separately with properties. When the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch is
deployed under a multivendor environment and there are differences in these vendor SIP/EISUP
implementations, Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch can be provisioned with multiple incoming trunkgroups
with different properties for different SIP/EISUP implementations.
Caution
Because the Multiple Incoming IP Trunks feature (included in Patches CSCOgs013 and CSCOnn013)
modifies Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch provisioning tables, we strongly recommend that you back up the
current configuration before you upgrade and apply the back up configuration if the upgrade fails. Any
configuration based on S13P13 is not backwards compatible.
This recommendation also applies if you upgrade to a patch later than S13P13 from a patch earlier than
S13P13.

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
The Multiple Incoming IP Trunks feature modifies a CDR (Originating Trunk Group), Tag 4008, as
described in Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9 Billing Interface Guide.
A new SP-Group measurement (SP: IPIN REJ TOT) described in Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release
9 Operations, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting Guide.
Provisioning Multiple Incoming IP Trunks Feature
A new sigpath property, IPINMAPPING, lets you assign specific trunk group attributes to different
inbound sip calls. The following prov-add:ipinmapping command lets you add up to 10,000 entries to
the IP Trunk Group selector table:
•
Configuration can be IP only or sipport only.
•
Sipport online help displays sipports configured in a previous siplnk.
•
If allowedNetmask is empty, Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch treats it as default netmask
255.255.255.255. Or, you can configure netmask to filter an IP address. If (incoming msg's source
IP & allowedNetmask)=(allowedIP & allowedNetmask), this IP is allowed. If there are several
ipinmapping entries qualified, the longest match rule is applied.
•
Name of ipinmapping is the primary key to identify an ipinmapping entry.
•
New data file, ipinmapping.dat, records what is configured in ipinmapping.
prov-add:ipinmapping:
name—MML Name
desc—Description
sigsvc—SIP sigpath or EISUP sigpath
allowedIP—Allowed IP Address
allowedIPNetMask—Allowed Net Mask
sipport—Allowed SIP Port, only effective for SIP sigpath
trnkgrpnum—Trunk Group Number (display trnkgrps belong to this sigsvc)
prov-ed:ipinmapping:name=”###”
prov-dlt:ipinmapping:name=”###”
prov-add:sigsvcprop:ipinscreening
prov-ed:sigsvcprop:ipinscreening
•
Indication of whether the screening takes effect if no trnkgrp is found. Value range:
– 0—no screening
– 1—screening, discard if no trnkgrp found
– 2—screening, process with default if no trnkgrp found
•
Ipinscreening sigsvcprop is only effective on the SIP/EISUP sigpath.
•
Default value of ipinscreening sigsvcprop is 0.

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
•
Ipinscreening=0 stands for ipinmapping function disabled.
– If sip sigsvcprop ipinscreening=0, you must specify a default SIP_IN trnkgrp for this sip
sigpath, this default SIP_IN trnkgrp is treated as this sip sigpath's default incoming trnkgrp.
– If eisup sigsvcprop ipinscreening=0, you can specify a default trnkgrp for this eisup sigpath. If
you leave it empty, the eisup trnkgrp with trnkgrpprop btechprefix=NULL is treated as the
default incoming trnkgrp of the eisup sigpath.
•
Ipinscreening=1 stands for ipinmapping function enabled.
– If sigsvcprop ipinscreening=1, you can specify default trnkgrp for this sigpath (SIP/EISUP) or
leave it empty, the default trnkgrp is not mandatory.
– If sigsvcProp ipinscreening=1, if no ipinmapping matched, a new call message is dropped.
•
Ipinscreening=2 stands for ipinampping function enabled.
– If sip sigsvcprop ipinscreening=2, you must specify a default SIP_IN trnkgrp for this sip
sigpath, this default SIP_IN trnkgrp is treated as the default incoming trnkgrp of the sip path.
– If eisup sigsvcprop ipinscreening=2, you can specify a default trnkgrp for this eisup sigpath. If
you leave it empty, the eisup trnkgrp with trnkgrpprop btechprefix=NULL is treated as the
default incoming trnkgrp of the eisup sigpath.
– If sigsvcProp ipinscreening=2, if no ipinmapping entry is matched, a new call message is
processed with the default incoming trnkgrp of the incoming sigpath.
Batch file capabilities are provided for populating the Trunk Group Selector table.

OL-15494-20
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Because sigsvc “sippath-1” ipinscreening=2, the default trunkgroup is selected (although no
ipinmapping entry matches).
For SIP incoming trunkgroups mapping, the mapping rule priorities are: IP+Port > IP only > Port only.
That is, if IP+Port mapping fails, IP only mapping is tried. If IP only mapping fails, Port only mapping
is tried. If the trunkgroup mapping fails again, the mapping sequence continues until an entry is found.

The following eisup IAM message is received:
Eisup IAM (H323 source address = 10.0.14.145)
trnkgrp 2000 is selected
Eisup IAM (H323 source address = 10.0.14.187)
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch can not find a trunkgroup; although, there is a default trunkgroup,
eisup.screenging=1. This IAM is discarded.
Per Call Trace Enhancement
The Per Call Trace Enhancement feature (CSCea78597) implements some enhanced functions based on
the original per call trace, including collecting per call trace on calling and called party number, adding
MCL setting, capturing long duration calls, collecting call trace on cause value, and fixing per call trace
on a particular sigPath/Span/cic (or trunkgroup/trunk) combinations.
To implement this feature, there is a new XECfgParm parameter, CallNumberToWriteIntoTracefile, that
limits the call number to write into a trace file while stopping a long duration call trace.
The start trace (sta-sc-trc) MML command is modified to perform the following:
In the active node:
mml>sta-sc-trc:<sigpath>:[span=x[,rng=y]][,tc=z[,rng=w]][,anubmer==”callingparty number”]
[,bnumber=”calledpartynumber”][,causevalue=c][,incompleteoverlapnumber]

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
PGW-ITP Optimize Routing with MAP Query
The PGW-ITP Optimize Routing with MAP Query feature (CSCsi10115) allows the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to optimize routing based on a subscriber location within a mobile
network.
A new property, ItpActionRequest, indicates that the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch should send a
customized SIP invite to the ITP to return the location of a mobile subscriber. Setting this property to
map-app indicates that the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch should send a customized SIP invite to the ITP
to return the location of a mobile subscriber. The customized SIP invite causes the ITP to send a MAP
query to the service provider HLR for the current mobile station roaming number (MSRN) of the mobile
subscriber. The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch then routes the call to the closest Gateway MSC based upon
the new MSRN.
If the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch is unable to optimize the call routing based on the MSRN, it
continues to route calls based on using MSISDN (telephone number) of the mobile subscriber. The
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch routes calls based on an MSISDN using cause analysis.
The new property, ItpActionRequest, is shown in Table 6.

PGW Support for HSI Non-RAS Mode
The PGW Support for HSI Non-RAS Mode feature (CSCeb55640) enables service providers to create a
simplified network without a gatekeeper for networks that do not require gatekeeper features such as
security.
In Non-RAS mode, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch converts called numbers into one or more IP
address in the dial plan to support load sharing over multiple HSIs. This mechanism supports H.323
endpoints that have multiple IP addresses. With such support, when an initial IP address does not work,
attempts are made to use the alternative IP addresses for the same endpoint.
If the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch sends an IP address to the HSI over E-ISUP, the HSI sends a SETUP
directly to the endpoint. In addition, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch stores the H.323 destination IP
address in the Call Detail Record (CDR).

OL-15494-20
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Support of Non-RAS mode enables deployment of a
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch with a connected Cisco HSI without a gatekeeper in networks that do not
require admission or location of the H.323 endpoint, or when selection of the endpoint does not benefit
from H.323 mechanisms such as Resource Availability Indication (RAI). Examples of such deployments
can include Cisco CallManager (CCM) or H.323 ITS. In some cases, an H.323 gateway provides the only
connection to a PBX.
Note
A single Cisco H.323 Signaling Interface (HSI) cannot operate in both Registration, Admission and
Status (RAS) and Non-RAS modes. If a network requires both modes of operation, the network must
have multiple Cisco HSIs.
The new CDR tag is shown in Table 7.
Table 7

PGW TCP Transport for SIP Phase I
The PGW TCP Transport for SIP Phase I feature (CSCsh66146) allows the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
to configure TCP or UDP as the default transport for both send and receive directions. UDP is the default.

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
UDP to TCP Migration
If you are a SIP-over-UDP-based user and want to migrate to SIP over TCP, use the following steps:
Step 1
Stop the standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch node.
Step 2
Change the XECfgParam.dat to TCP.
Step 3
Start the standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch node.
Step 4
Switchover the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch node.
Step 5
Stop the current standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch node.
Step 6
Change the XECfgParam.dat to TCP.
Step 7
Start the current standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch node.
After the preceding steps, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch uses UDP as a transport for old calls, and
only handles new SIP calls over TCP. The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch always creates both a UPD and
a TCP socket. The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch rejects the new call over an un-configured transport.
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch needs to handle the middle call request and response over an un-configured
transport, because old calls still use UDP as transport. For the middle call request,
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch should reject REFER to PGW over un-configured transport because
REFER might cause UDP/TCP interworking issues in this migration case.
In summary, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch supports UDP to TCP migration with the limitation that
REFER is not supported on old active calls after migration. TCP to UDP migration is also supported,
but, after migration, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch does not reject a REFER message, so the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch uses the new transport protocol (TCP) to create a new call leg. The result
is that the incoming call leg uses UDP but the outgoing call leg uses TCP. Retransmission is a problem,
but the call can release correctly.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch uses the IP address IP_Addr1 and port 5060 to start both the TCP and
UDP listener socket.
•
TCP and UDP must use the same IP and Port.
•
In IOCM, the TCP and UDP SIP Link use the same state machine. When the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch sets the SIP link to IS or OOS, both TCP and UDP are set to IS or OOS.
No Support for UDP/TCP Mixed Network
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch supports UDP only and TCP only as a system global configuration. If
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch is configured as UDP only, it handles a new SIP call only over UDP. If
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch is configured as TCP only, it handles a new SIP call only over TCP.
To support UDP/TCP migration, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch creates both a TCP and a UDP socket
in either mode. For more information, see the “UDP to TCP Migration” section on page 24.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch populates a configured transport-to-transport parameter of
Request-URI/RecordRoute/Route/Contact/VIA/ReferTo headers, but it does not use the transport
parameter from others because the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch always uses the transport configuration.
If the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch is configured as TCP only, and RecordRoute from next hop is UDP,
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch still sends a subsequence SIP request to next hop over TCP. If the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch is configured as UDP only and RecordRoute from next hop is TCP, it still
sends a subsequence SIP request to next hop over UDP.

Table 8
XECfgParm.dat Configuration Parameters
Configuration Parameter
Definition
SIP.CONN_IDLE_PERIOD
The length that one TCP connection can stay in an idle state. The value is
Integer. The default is 0.
SIP.ConnLocalMsgQueueSize
The maximum size of the local outgoing message queue. The value is Integer.
SIP.Max_Connection
The maximum TCP connections supported by Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
simultaneously.
The valid values are integers.
SIP.TransportProtocol
The transport protocol Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch uses to make call. The call
must be in TCP mode or in UDP mode.
The value is String: TCP or UDP
TCP mode—PGW accepts only sip calls over TCP transport.
UDP mode—PGW accepts only sip calls over UDP transport.
POM File Service Enhancement
The POM File Service Enhancement feature (CSCsi54885) improves the prov-dply/prov-sync
performance to allow Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to support thousands of dial plans without impacting
existing functions.
Pre Call Announcement After Address Complete Message
The Pre Call Announcement After Address Complete Message feature (CSCsb56721) provides support
for pre-call announcements that are played directly after the Address Complete Message (ACM) is
received by the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch or an equivalent message such as Alerting is received over
outgoing protocols such as H.323 or SIP. Pre-call announcement is used to play a short announcement
to inform the calling party of the cost per minute for a call.
Note
This feature supports TDM-to-IP calls and TDM-to-TDM hairpinned calls. The announcement is
supported only on the TDM side of an IOS gateway.
Note
When this announcement is played after receiving the receipt of an ACM, the called party might answer
during the announcement, causing the calling party to miss the initial speech.
The existing sigpath property, *.AnnSuppressInbandInfo, has been given a more generic name,
*.LocalAnnBehavior, to reflect the three options associated with it.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
OL-15494-20
25
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Valid values are:
•
0 (default)—Play announcement after all digits have been received. An early ACM is sent before the
announcement is played to indicate “inband information available.” The call is routed after the
announcement is played.
When using this option, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch might force an enbloc, which can result in
an unacceptable post-dial delay.
•
1—Play announcement after enough digits have been received to determine a route. Early ACM is
not sent before playing the announcement (it is assumed that the voicepath is already cut back after
IAM). The call is routed after the announcement is played.
When overlap sending is also used, depending on the number dialed, some users might receive the
pre-call announcement while the final digits are being dialed.
•
2—Route the call after enough digits have been received to determine a route. Play the
announcement after an address complete indication (ACM) is received from the terminating side.
This method is introduced in this feature.
Presentation Number Modification
The Presentation Number Modification feature lets the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch modify the
presentation number (PN) for calls between a PSTN network on one side and a SIP server on the other.
The requirement is to modify PN prefixes. Before the introduction of this feature, the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch could modify a calling party number (A-number). The
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch also could modify a PN, but only if an A-number was present. This feature
enables the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to modify a PN when no A-number is present.
Note
For more information, see the Presentation Number Modification feature module.
RADIUS Enhancement for Accounting
The RADIUS Enhancement for Accounting feature (CSCse18042) provides radius interface support on
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch for Call Detail Record (CDR) data. CDR data is sent to a preconfigured
radius server at the end of the call. CDR data for PSTN to IP calls as well as IP to PSTN calls is
supported.
Note
For more information, see the RADIUS Enhancement for Accounting feature module.
Redirect Server
The Redirect Server feature (CSCsk41224) allows the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to act as a redirect
server. For DPNSS, this is very useful because it allows for a gradual migration from traditional PBXs
to IP telephony. The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch can be configured with the migrated phone numbers.
Numbers that are not migrated can cause a divert, which essentially means that two circuits are not tied
up for the duration of the call.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
26
OL-15494-20
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
The Redirect Server feature adds a new result type (REDIRECT), modifies two CDRs (SERVICE
USAGE DATA, Tag 4239 and REDIRECTION NUMBER, Tag 4065), and adds a new measurement
(CALL: SuccRedirected). These new elements are described in the following documents:

dw1=”redirection;
numan-add:bdigtree:custgrpid="1111",callside="originating",digitstring="6",
setname="set1111”
Ring Back Service Using CPC=3 for Voice Messaging
The Ring Back Service Using CPC=3 for Voice Messaging feature (CSCsi40004) adds the capability to
modify the called party category (CPC) value to 3 on the backward call indicators (BCI) parameter in
the address complete message (ACM) message for ring back service to support voice messaging services
in Mexico.
•
Mexican Q.767 ISUP variant supports called party CPC value 3, but modified called party CPC
parameter is applicable to all ISUP variants, including Q.767, Q.761, and ANSI SS7.
•
Both signaling mode and call control mode use dial plan number analysis as the called party CPC
modification trigger.
•
The existing result type CPCMOD is reused to implement this feature.
•
For consistency, called party CPC is available in both A-number and B-number analysis.
Result Type Definitions
The result types listed in Table 9 support the validation of dw2 in the result type CPCMOD.
To allow modification to both the calling party CPC and the called party CPC at the same time,
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch allows a maximum of two CPCMOD results provisioned in one result set.
For information on other result type definitions for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, see
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9 Dial Plan Guide (through Release 9.7).

called party category, set DW2 to 1:
NUMAN-ADD:RESULTTABLE:CUSTGRPID="T002",NAME="result32",RESULTTYPE="CPCMOD",
SETNAME="cpcset2",DW1="3",DW2="1"
Sequential Network Consultation Transfer
The Sequential Network Consultation Transfer feature (CSCsj08981) enables the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to perform sequential network consultation transfer (NCT) calls. That is,
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch can perform another NCT after the first NCT is completed. With this
new feature introduced, to invoke a second NCT, call agents do not have to invoke a network blind
transfer (NBT) or an intelligent take back and transfer (iTNT) before the second NCT. Call agents can
start a second NCT right after the first NCT is completed.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
28
OL-15494-20
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
The sequential NCT feature is an enhancement to the previous feature, SIP Support of Take Back and
Transfer in the Cisco Unified Contact Center.
Note
For more information, see the Sequential Network Consultation Transfer feature module.
SIP and ISUP Interworking for Call Hold and Terminal Portability
The SIP and ISUP Interworking for Call Hold and Terminal Portability feature (CSCsb56422) supports
the message mapping between SIP and ISUP for call hold and terminal portability on the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. The implementation is based on Q.1912.5 Annex B.10 for Call Hold and
Annex B.13 for Terminal Portability (TP). Q.1912.5 defines signaling interworking between SIP and
ISUP.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch also supports ISUP and SIP/HSI interworking for Call hold and TP
across EISUP (intra PGW). The following scenario is supported: ISUP -> PGW1 -> PGW2 -> SIP/HSI.
Either ISUP invoking call hold or SIP/HSI invoking call hold is supported.
Note
For more information, see the SIP and ISUP Interworking for Call Hold and Terminal Portability feature
module.
SIP Configurable Retransmissions
The SIP Configurable Retransmissions feature (CSCsc37919) supports the capability to configure SIP
Retransmissions handling. The new properties introduced with this feature are used to configure the
number or retries and the time intervals between retries as linear (new) or exponential (current
standards-based method). In addition, the SIP Timer C is also made configurable.
If the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch works as a proxy, for example, the call is from sip to sip, the
properties InviteRetries and NonInviteReqRetries are disabled.
This feature changes the switch-time behavior of the Support of DNS SRV and SIP Load-Sharing feature
(introduced in Release 9.6(1)). The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch does not support more than two DNS
proxy servers because the SIP Configurable Retransmissions feature modifies the switch time behavior
to support only two DNS proxy servers.

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
SIP Early-Dialog Offer/Answer Using PRACK/180/183
The SIP Early-Dialog Offer/Answer Using PRACK/180/183 feature (CSCso02350) supplies a new SDP
offer/answer capability that can support SDP negotiation using PRACK/180/183 in SIP early dialog as
in RFC3261/3262. Normally this feature is used in H323/SIP -> SIP call.
Caution
When H323 calls SIP in fast start mode and the terminal SIP uses the 100rel response, and the
originator (H323) and terminal (SIP) have different CODECs, the call fails or has no voice path
(CSCso86755). The workaround is to have the same CODEC for both.
This enhancement cannot support the call scenario H323 -> SIP with slow start mode. Change the
supportreliable100=”UNSUPPORTED” in this case
This recommendation also applies if you upgrade to a patch higher than patch CSCOgs014/CSCOnn014
from a patch earlier than CSCOgs014/CSCOnn014.
Provisioning the SIP Early-Dialog Offer/Answer Using PRACK/180/183 Feature
You must set the trunk group property supportreliable100 to SUPPORTED or MANDATORY. For
SIP -> SIP call, use this feature when both the calling and the called party use the 100rel response.
SIP FROM Interworking with SS7 and PRI
The SIP FROM Interworking with SS7 and PRI feature (CSCsg42352) supports the mapping of the SIP
FROM header (display name).
The received DISPLAY IE in SETUP message from the NI2+ interface is mapped into UUIE field in the
outgoing IAM message. This information is sent out without any modification from the incoming
DISPLAY IE.
The receiving of the UUIE with IA5 encoded text in an IAM message is mapped into DISPLAY IE of
SETUP message of NI2+. This information is sent out without any modification from the incoming
UUIE.
This service is only used in Nailed mode. A new sigpath property, CNAPService, enables this feature on
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch.
Table 11 shows the definition for the new sigpath property, CNAPService.

The following provisioning example disables the service. It is the default behavior.
prov-ed:sigsvcprop:name=”isup-path”,CNAPService=“0”
SIP Overlap Signaling
The SIP Overlap Signaling feature (CSCso14089) supports SIP overlap signaling between the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch products using a derivative of
draft-zhang-sipping-overlap-01, a method for overlap signaling in SIP.
Both the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and BTS 10200 support the sending and receiving of overlap
dialed digits over SIP. The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch also supports the sending/receiving of overlap
digits over the SS7 network.
Note
For more information, see the SIP Overlap Signaling feature module.
SIP Service Handling and Feature Interworking Enhancements
The SIP Service Handling and Feature Interworking Enhancements feature (CSCef54992) introduces a
Back to Back User Agent (B2BUA) mode of operation for SIP-to-SIP calls using the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. It also enhances the existing mid-call service handling to better interwork
SIP signaling for mid-call services. This feature allows Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch handling of
SIP-to-SIP calls, including intrusive replacement of E.164 addresses appearing in various headers and
configurable handling of REFER and 3xx redirect messaging. In addition, this feature enhances the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch mid-call service handling for interworking of SIP redirection and transfers
with SIP to SIP and SIP to other protocols.
Note
For more information, see the SIP Service Handling and Feature Interworking Enhancements feature
module.
SIP Support of Take Back and Transfer in the Cisco Unified Contact Center
The SIP Support of Take Back and Transfer in the Cisco Unified Contact Center feature (CSCsh65871)
enhances the Take Back and Transfer (Phase 2) feature. The new feature provides the capability to
support the SIP trunks as the calling party or the transferring party for different call transfers.

SS7 Take Back and Transfer RELEASE Message Parameter Modifications
The SS7 Take Back and Transfer RELEASE Message Parameter Modifications feature (CSCsq44014)
introduces two new properties, ReferRedirectingNOA and ReferRedirectingInd, that allow you to
manipulate the content in REL msg.
•
ReferRedirectingNOA—NOA value of redirection number in ITU SS7 REL message for blind
transfer by sip REFER, use internal NOA value.

– 6—Call diversion, redirection number presentation restricted
Support for INAP Generic Number
The Support for INAP Generic Number feature (CSCsb56451) supports the Generic Number parameter
in the INAP InitialDP and the INAP Connect operations. It enables use of dual CLI functionality in SIP
networks.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
OL-15494-20
33
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Support for Individual SIP Cause Values
The Support for Individual SIP Cause Values feature (CSCsf00200) provides one-to-one mapping on the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch for SIP cause values mapping to internal values. This mapping allows more
flexibility for supporting different user/country requirements.
To fully support this enhancement in a SIP-H323 call scenario, use HSI Release 4.3. Patch 2 or later. The
corresponding HSI caveat is CSCsi58113.
Because a new cause table is introduced with this feature, when you install the patch for this feature, you
should add the following new cause table elements to old provisioned dial plans. For example:
numan-add:cause:custgrpid="1111",causevalue=217,setname="CSCOADRST2"
numan-add:cause:custgrpid="1111",causevalue=218,setname="CSCOADRST2"
numan-add:cause:custgrpid="1111",causevalue=177,setname="CSCOADRST1"
numan-add:cause:custgrpid="1111",causevalue=197,setname="CSCOADRST1"
numan-add:cause:custgrpid="1111",causevalue=206,setname="CSCOADRST1"
numan-add:cause:custgrpid="1111",causevalue=208,setname="CSCOADRST1"
numan-add:cause:custgrpid="1111",causevalue=213,setname="CSCOADRST1"
Support of Location Mapping
The Support of Location Mapping feature (CSCsb65484) on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch provides
support for both cause code and location mapping with the ability to modify location values.
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch is currently able to map release cause information into different values
by the use of the Cause mapping table, however it cannot map or modify location values that are required
by some users.
This feature allows the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch the following functionality:
Note
•
Map to different cause and location values based on received cause values and location values
(existing)
•
Map to a different cause value based on the received cause value and location values
•
Map cause value to new values without changing location values (existing)
•
Map to a new cause value and location value based on received cause value
•
Override the default location value with a new location value
•
Use the default location value if no Location value is set
•
Map a location value to new values without changing cause values, with the use of wildcard of cause
value
For more information, see the Support of Location Mapping feature module.
Support of Provisionable QoS for Signaling Traffic
The Support of Provisionable QoS for Signaling Traffic feature (CSCee21241) allows you to set the
appropriate priority for various signaling traffic to be transported between the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and Cisco EGW and other call control entities, like Cisco CallManager,
Cisco Unity, SIP servers and Gatekeepers, and Gateways over QoS-enabled IP networks.

OL-15494-20
New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Cisco EGW already supports fixed QoS in clustering over the WAN implemented by IPtables packages.
Now the QoS is provided by the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch; this supports dynamically provisionable
QoS for both the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and Cisco EGW.
The QoS feature is supported for use by the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch itself. TimesTen would
continue to use IPtables packages to get QoS support.
Note
The Clustering Over the WAN feature (for Cisco EGW) and technology is related to this feature.
This feature adds provisionable QoS support with the default value set to DSCP CS3 in accordance with
Cisco baseline QoS recommendations for the following:
•
Signaling paths:
– MGCP
– EISUP
– SIP
– ISDN Backhaul over RUDP
– DPNSS Backhaul over SCTP
– BRI Backhaul over TCP
– ISUP Backhaul over SCTP
– QBE
– AXL
– LI
•

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Support of Trunk Group ID at the x-route-tag or tsp Parameter
The Support of Trunk Group ID at the x-route-tag or tsp Parameter feature (CSCsg49496) enables the
support of ingress trunk group tag id at the SIP x-route-tag or tsp parameter of the SIP via header.
Table 12 shows the new trunk group properties.
Table 12
New Trunk Group Properties for Trunk Group Id at the x-route-tag or tsp Parameter
Property
Definition
TrunkGroupTagLabel
This property identifies the name of the trunk group from which a call comes. Valid
values: 1–63 (string). Default Value: “NULL”.
Note
TrunkGrpTagLabelTransEnable
This property does not support some special characters like #, >, and whitespace.
MML forbids provisioning these characters to the TrunkGroupTagLabel.
This property indicates whether and how to send out the ingress trunk group tag label in
the outgoing SIP INVITE message.
Valid values:
0 = Not send. Do not transmit ingress trunk group tag label in the outgoing INVITE
message. This is the default value for this property.
1 = Send in x-route-tag parameter. Transmit ingress trunk group tag label (if present)
using x-route-tag parameter in the Via header.
2 = Send in tsp parameter. Transmit ingress trunk group tag label (if present) using the tsp
parameter in the Via header.
Default Value = 0
Dynamically Reconfigurable: Y
Ingress Trunk Group Property
The TrunkGroupTagLabel property can be configured in any ingress trunk group, including SIP, EISUP,
SS7, PRI, DPNSS and QSIG. Because this property is a common property for all kinds of ingress trunk
groups, it can be retrieved and written to CC in LCM module when the TCC is determined to be either
SIP or EISUP to another Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. A provisioning example of this property is:
Prov-ed:trnkgrpprop:name=”9000”,custgrpid=”DP00”,trunkgrouptaglabel=”westarea_trunkgroup1”
Egress Trunk Group Property for SIP
An egress trunk group property TrunkGrpTagLabelTransEnable of type integer is added for SIP trunk
group to decide whether and how to transmit trunk group tag label in the outgoing INVITE message.
This trunk group property is only applicable for SIP trunk group when it acts as an egress trunk group.
A provisioning example of this property is:
prov-ed:trnkgrpprop:name=”9000”,custgrpid=”DP00”,MGCdomain=”10.0.57.90”,
TrunkGrpTagLabelTransEnable=”1”
Support of VXSM M3UA Signaling
The Support of VXSM M3UA Signaling feature (CSCsl70032) adds the M3UA protocol for the VXSM
entry in extNodeTypes.dat. The combination of M3UA and MGCP/H248 is supported on the
VXSM/MGX8880 from the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch side.

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Note
Because SS7 and MGCP/H.248 are backhauled to the same single VXSM card, provision only one
external node for both SS7 service and MGCP (or H.248).
Before this feature, the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch allowed the VXSM to be defined as an External
Node (with EXTNODE TYPE = VXSM), but it refused to define that same VXSM as an M3UA, SUA,
or IUA signaling gateway.

New Features in Release 9.7(3)
Take Back and Transfer Phase 2
The Take Back and Transfer feature (CSCse99755) enables the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to perform
a variety of different call transfers upon request from a service control point (SCP) such as Cisco
Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) using the Intelligent Network Application Protocol's (INAP)
CS-1 (ITU Q.1218 Capability Set 1)/CS-2 (ITU Q.1228 Capability Set 2) capabilities to support
different contact centers.
The Take Back and Transfer feature supports two new operations:
Note
•
DTMF Blind Transfer under INAP Control
•
Consultation Transfer
For more information, see the Take Back and Transfer feature module.
Usability Enhancements—Phase 1
The Usability Enhancements—Phase 1 feature (CSCsv78723) includes additions and modifications to
the software that enable customers to monitor the operation of the system more fully. The enhancements
include:
•
Two new MML commands and five modified MML commands.
•
New script named collectdata enables service providers to collect debug trace data from files in
several different directories and to create a log that collects activity for a specified period of time.
•
Service providers can display, in the platform.log, pstack information for the heartbeat time-out
process before the system procM process kills the heart-beat time-out process.
Note
The pstack is a function performed by the operating system running on the Sun platform to check
the status of threads running for active processes. Experienced system engineers can search the
platform.log for pstack information.
This feature provides the following benefits:
Note
•
MML commands that enable you to retrieve system status and performance data in greater detail,
which makes troubleshooting the system more efficient.
•
The new script, collectdata, which compiles information from files in several directories. The script
creates a log of system activity that occurs during a specified period of time. The log generated by
the collectdata script enables you to find important system data without having to search in several
different directories.
•
You can retrieve information from the platform.log about the heartbeat time-out process produced
by the pstack before the system procM process kills the heartbeat time-out process.
For more information, see the Usability Enhancements—Phase 1 feature module.

Installation Notes
XML-Based Trunk Group File Format
The XML-Based Trunk Group File Format feature (CSCse63290) allows the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch trunk group import/export files to be in XML format rather than fixed
record format. The trunk group import/export file are changed from a fixed field format to an
XML-based format that permits the addition of trunk group properties without impacting provisioning
mechanisms like MML and VSPT for existing users.
Note
Do not manually edit the export_trkgrp.dat file. Make changes to the configuration through provisioning.

Installing and Upgrading the Software
Caution
Before upgrading from a current version of Software Release 9 to a later level, you must verify software
release version compatibility by contacting Cisco TAC (see the “Obtaining Documentation and
Submitting a Service Request” section on page 108) or your Cisco account representative. Software
release version incompatibility may cause service disruption.
Caution
Because the Multiple Incoming IP Trunks feature (included in Patches CSCOgs013 and CSCOnn013)
modifies Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch provisioning tables, we strongly recommend that you back up the
current configuration before you upgrade and apply the back up configuration if the upgrade fails. Any
configuration based on S13P13 is not backwards compatible.
This recommendation also applies if you upgrade to a patch higher than S13P13 from a patch earlier than
S13P13.
If you are installing software Release 9.7(3) for the first time, see Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release
9.7 Software Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions.
Note
In Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7 Software Installation and Configuration Guide, note the
following change: In the “Configuring SNMP Support Resources” section, SNMP MIB measurements
are valid only on the active node. They are not replicated to the standby node.

OL-15494-20
Installation Notes
Caution
When you upgrade a redundant system, verify that the pom.dataSync parameter (located in
/opt/CiscoMGC/etc/XECfgParm.dat) is set to false to maintain calls and preserve your configuration.
Caution
No validation is performed on the IDs you enter. If you enter an invalid ID, the utilities package does not
add any accounts.
Tip
If you have trouble installing the utilities package, make sure that you do not have a transpath group in
your group file (located in the directory /etc).
Using the Patch Upgrade Procedure
To install software patches, use the procedure provided in the technical note Patch Upgrade Procedure
for Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.6 and Later.
The protocol packaging has been improved so that you need only load and install protocols that you
require. Previously, the entire protocol suite was packaged and delivered as a unit. With the improved
packaging protocol:
•
The standard installation script allows you to specify which protocol sets are required on your
platform.
•
Only packages containing the desired protocols are installed as part of the standard installation.
The same number of packages available with the initial release still exist; however, they have a new
nomenclature that is required for support of patching later in the release life cycle. You have the option
to install only the packages containing required protocols.
The protocol packages are labeled CSCOnnvvv:
•
nn—Indicates the specific protocols you need for your environment
•
vvv—Indicates the version level of the patch
For example, at the time of the release, you are given protocol patch CSCO01000.pkg. The 01 indicates
a specific protocol applicable to your environment; 000 indicates the revision level. The next time a set
of protocol patches is built, the 000 is increased by 1 (001).
Note
If you encounter issues with Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch operation, ensure that the latest patch version
is installed before trying to obtain technical support.
Note
You must always install the 00 protocol package when upgrading a protocol patch level. If the 00
protocol package is not installed, the upgrade attempt fails. The Protocol File Missing alarm displays.
Use the patch script (new shell script provided with the standard installation) located in the /opt/SW
directory (created during the initial base software installation) to confirm which patch packages to install
(using the patch status command), and then copy these packages into your local directory (/opt/SW)
from the release directory where you can use the script to install the patches.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
OL-15494-20
41
Installation Notes
The installation script requires one of the following options:
•
Option 1—patch status gives output showing which protocol patches are installed on the system.
The installed protocol packages are required (must be downloaded) for you to update the software.
The exception is if you need a new protocol that was not previously delivered. In this case, you need
to download an extra package (the package that the new protocol is delivered in). This option should
be run before the current patches are removed from the system.
•
Option 2—patch all automatically searches the local directory (/opt/SW) and the installed system
to determine the most recent available patch and automatically updates the system with that patch.
This applies to protocol and system patches. All uninstall and install activities are handled by the
script. The command for this is patch all. The patch all command does not require a second
argument.
•
Option 3—patch system [latest |<alternate patch number>] specifies the exact patch level for
system patches you choose to install on the system. You can specify that any available patch level
be installed. All uninstall and install activities are handled by this script. This option requires one
of the following arguments:
– latest—Installs the most recently downloaded patch. This argument should be used with the
system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
– <number>—Indicates the patch number <vvv> that you want to install. This argument should
be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
•
Option 4—patch protocol [latest |<alternate patch number>] specifies the exact patch level for
protocol patches you choose to install on the system. You can specify that any available patch level
be installed. All uninstall and install activities are handled by this script. This option requires one
of the following arguments:
– latest—Installs the most recently downloaded patch. This argument should be used with the
system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
– <number>—Indicates the patch number <vvv> that you want to install. This argument should
be used with the system and protocol commands used in options 3 and 4.
The following is sample output of option 2, patch all, which automatically searches the local directory
and the installed system to determine the most recent available patch located in /opt/SW (protocol and
system) and automatically updates the system with that patch level:

Known Issues and Operational Recommendations
Known Issues and Operational Recommendations
This section contains information about known issues and the corresponding workarounds in the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software Release 9.7(3).
Note
For more information about Cisco IOS issues and workarounds, see the Cisco IOS release notes for your
platform.
FTP Not Enabled During Solaris 10 Installation
FTP is not activated during the Solaris 10 installation for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. Adjunct
systems that require FTP access to the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch are affected by this issue.
Note
BAMS systems that have the security patches (CSCOh013 and CSCOk9000) installed are not affected.
The CSCOk9000 package is restricted by export laws and may not be available to all users.
Table 17 lists commands that can be used to enable, disable, and check the ftp status.

For more information, see caveat number CSCsd38259.
Core Dump When Active and Standby Use Different Patch Versions
If you set pom.dataSync in XECfgParm.dat to true on a standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch that is run
on a patch earlier than 9.7(3) CSCOgs007/CSCOnn007, there will be an engine core dump.
To avoid this core dump, follow these steps to use a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch patch earlier than
9.7(3) CSCOgs007/CSCOnn007.
Step 1
Stop the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch when an engine core dump happens.
Step 2
Set pom.dataSync in XECfgParm.dat to false.
Step 3
Copy mdlProcess.dat in /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/new to /opt/CiscoMGC/etc.
Step 4
Copy mdlProcess.dat in /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/new to /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/active_link.
Step 5
Restart the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch.
Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3)
OL-15494-20
105
Known Issues and Operational Recommendations
This engine core dump also can happen when you downgrade a newly installed 9.7(3)
CSCOgs007/CSCOnn007 to a previous patch. After the downgrade, perform Step 3 and Step 4.
The pom.dataSync must be set to false when doing an upgrade to 9.7(3) CSCOgs017/CSCOnn017 or
later. Otherwise, the standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch will be OOS.
Inappropriate Trunk Selection with Unreliable MGCP Path and LIDL Trunk
Selection Sequence
If you set the trunk selection sequence (SELSEQ) to its default value, LIDL (least idle), there is a risk
that the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch will select a significant number of temporarily unavailable trunks,
which causes calls to fail. This kind of call failure can happen when an overloaded media gateway
responds to the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch with a temporary MGCP error (400 to 499), or the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch does not receive a response from the media gateway in time. The
workaround for this known issue is to set the trunk selection sequence to a value other than LIDL in
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3) S21P21. The CDETS number for this issue is CSCsw65500.
Note
The documentation is being revised to indicate that LIDL is the default value for SELSEQ.
Unexpected RADIUS Connectivity Alarms Under Traffic Load
If you enable RADIUS accounting on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and there is a high traffic load,
the system might generate RADIUS connectivity alarms unexpectedly. The CDETS number for this
issue is CSCtd03089.
Instability of the nge Interfaces on the Netra X4200 M2 Platform Under Duplex
Mismatch Condition
The Netra X4200 M2 server has four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces:
•
Net 0 (nge0)
•
Net 1 (nge1)
•
Net 2 (e1000g0)
•
Net 3 (e1000g1)
For Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch deployments that use this platform, the nge interfaces can experience
a hard hang if a network duplex mismatch occurs during operation. For stability purposes, we
recommend that you use the Net 2 (e1000g0) and Net 3 (e1000g1) interfaces, and not the nge0 and nge1
interfaces. The CDETS number for this issue is CSCtd40144.

Caveats
System File vars.pm Error After Migration from Release 9.7(3) to Release 9.8(1)
After you have migrated from Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.7(3) CSCOgs027/CSCOnn027 to
Release 9.8(1) CSCOgs007/CSCOnn007 and later, there is an error in the
/opt/CiscoMGC/lib/perl5/5.00503/vars.pm file after installation.
The following line shows line 17 of vars.pm after installation:
if ($sym =~ tr/A-Za-Z_0-9//c) {
Correct line 17 should be:
if ($sym =~ tr/A-Za-z_0-9//c) {
The workaround for this known issue is to manually change line 17 of vars.pm file from "if ($sym =~
tr/A-Za-Z_0-9//c) {" to "if ($sym =~ tr/A-Za-z_0-9//c) {" and save the file. The CDETS number for this
issue is CSCtf30543.
Prov-ed Causes SS7 SIG SRVC UNAVAIL During Prov-cpy or Prov-dply
If a change is made to the existing SS7 path, and PGW has m3ua associations configured, it will cause
all the other SS7 signaling services to be unavailable during pvo-cpy or prov-cply.
The workaround for this known isuue is to use individual m3ua keys.
