Configuring a Remote Unit from the Central Site

A unit at a remote site can be remotely configured as an IP bridge. The remote management and configuration capability allows the unit to be configured from the central site, without the need for a technician to travel to a remote site.

It is good practise to have ensured that the remote unit was restored to the factory default settings before being despatched to the remote site.

CAUTION: Prior to despatch, it is essential that the unit has the ISDN Network Type field configured to match the ISDN network type at the remote site.

Prior to Despatch

Power on the unit and follow the sequence of steps for resetting the unit to the factory default configuration, as described in “Manual Configuration of a Central Site Unit for Bridging and IP” on

page 2-3.
