3.2.3 Verifying Software Switch Control

In order to use software switches for configuration, it is necessary to disable the hardware switch settings. To do this, use the following procedure (Note: If this procedure is omitted, your software configurations will be overridden by the hardware switch settings):

1.On the Main Menu (opposite page), choose item 1, “Select Hardware/Software Switch Control”. The following screen will appear:

2. In the Hardware/Software Control Menu, select item 2 to enable software switch control.

3.The Main Menu will automatically reappear after your selection is entered.

3.2.4Setting Software Switch Parameters

From the Main Menu, selecting item 3, “Set Software Switch Parameters” will take you to the Software Switch Menu (below). From this screen, you can soft configure the 2500RC parameters.

For each screen described below, selecting a numbered option and pressing [RETURN] stores that option setting and returns you to the Software Switch Menu (Note: All lettered options must be entered in lower case)

Line Rate

Choosing option 1 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Line Rate Menu (below). This option controls the signaling rate on the line. Set it to match the speed of your digital service. For line rates of 56 or 64 Kbps, it is possible to operate the DTE interface at a lower rate. To do this , set the line rate to 56 or 64 Kbps. Then set the DTE Speed as required (Software Switch Menu option 7).

Circuit Assurance

Choosing option 2 in the Software Switch Menu takes you to the Circuit Assurance Menu (below). On dedicated (DDS) circuits, the transmitter and the CTS output can be configured to go ON only when a working communication circuit is established. If you use Circuit Assurance with DDS services, enable it on only one end of the communication link. For Switched-56 service, enable Circuit Assurance on both ends of the circuit. When Circuit Assurance is disabled, the transmitter and CTS operate without regard to the receiver state.
