25 CS INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
This chapter provides an overview of interfaces in the CS context and describes the tasks involved in
configuring them. For detailed information on command syntax and usage guidelines for the
commands listed in the configuration tasks refer to Chapter 16, " Context CS Mode", in the
SmartWare
Command Reference Guide.
This chapter includes the following sections:

Introduction
• CS Interface Configuration Tasks
• Examples
25.1 Introduction
Within the CS context of SmartWare, an interface is a logical entity providing call routing for
incoming and outgoing calls to and from ISDN ports and voice over IP gateways. It represents
logical connections to other equipment or networks. CS interfaces are used as source and destination
in the Session Router and are bound to physical ports or logical (SmartWare) gateways.
Interface names can be any arbitrary string with a maximum of 25 characters. For ease of
identification the interface type can be a part of the name. Figure 23-1 illustrates the function of the
CS interfaces. The types of CS interfaces are:
•
PSTN Interfaces (ISDN and POTS)
•
VoIP interfaces, such as:
• H.323 Interface
• ISoIP Interface
Figure 25-1: CS interfaces on the CS context
A PSTN interface is a CS interface type bound to a physical ISDN or POTS port. If more than one
port is bound to a PSTN interface, a line hunt group is created automatically.
