Configuring and Managing the High-Density
Packet Voice Feature Card
The High-Density Packet Voice Feature Card (VGD-FC) supports up to six high-density packet voice
and fax digital signal processor (DSP) modules (VGD-PVDM2-64), providing scalability from 64 to 384
channels. The voice feature card (VFC) converts voice and fax calls into IP packets or frames that can
be transmitted as voice over IP (VoIP) over a variety of transport technologies on the Cisco VGD 1T3
voice gateway.
You can manage the voice feature card at the slot level, digital signal processor (DSP) level, or channel
level by using monitoring and troubleshooting commands. On the Cisco VGD 1T3 voice gateway, the
hierarchy designation is slot/dsp and slot/channel.
This section contains the following procedures for configuring and managing the High-Density Packet
Voice Feature Card (VFC) on the Cisco VGD 1T3 voice gateway:
•
Upgrading DSP Firmware on the High-Density Packet Voice Feature Card, page 73
•
Configuring the GSMAMR-NB Codec for the High-Density Packet VFC, page 75
•
Verifying and Troubleshooting the High-Density Packet VFC, page 79
•

Upgrading DSP Firmware on the High-Density Packet Voice
Feature Card
The High-Density Packet VFC should work without specific modifications to the software configuration
on the Cisco VGD 1T3 platform. However, to ensure that you have the latest version of firmware, you
can use the Cisco IOS commands in this section to upgrade the firmware.
For more information about GSMAMR-NB DSPware, see the
“Overview and Restrictions for the
GSMAMR-NB Codec” section on page 75
. To upgrade the DSP firmware of the High-Density Packet
Voice Feature Card, perform the following steps.
