The following configuration file example is known to work when configuring sipX with a Cisco SIP ISDN Gateway setup. You must replace parameters within the file (e.g., sip-server dns:servername.com) with your site specific parameters when you copy the file through a terminal window into the Cisco Gateway.

1. Copy and save the following example, starting with the first exclamation point (!).
2. Open a terminal window/telnet to the Cisco gateway.
3. At a command prompt enter the Write to Screen command (e.g., Cisco#wr t) after gaining access through protected mode (enter the "enable" command at a command line prompt to enter protected mode and a # sign displays with the prompt) and a similar configuration displays. Copy and save this file.
4. Note the differences between your hardware configuration and the hardware configuration in this example; your interfaces may be different. Be sure to account for these differences and modify your new file to reflect them.
5. Note the differences in the software configuration and make sure the appropriate changes are made in your new configuration as, for example, with the ISDN switch type. There are many different switch possibilities besides primary-5ess, which is part of the following example file, such as primary-4ess. You must know your switch type and have a technical knowledge of switching.
6. Type the config command to enter an editable mode and copy the file example into the Cisco gateway when you have finished making any necessary changes.

As an example, you can configure the !serial interface as 5ess. isdn switch-type primary-5ess ! template mon ! voice call carrier capacity active voice rtp send-recv ! voice service voip sip !
