DIAL PLAN (CKT BACKUP) > USER TERM > IFCE CONFIG > FORCE MODE
Write security: 3; Read security: 5

This forces the backup state of this endpoint. This is a configuration setting, so it will retain its value until

it is changed. To temporarily force an endpoint into backup, or to force a restore, try the Manual activator.

DIAL PLAN (CKT BACKUP) > USER TERM > IFCE CONFIG > BACKUP CRITERIA
Write security: 3; Read security: 5

Criteria for automatic backup. Note that this setting affects the available options for RESTORE CRITERIA.

DIAL PLAN (CKT BACKUP) > USER TERM > IFCE CONFIG > RESTORE CRITERIA
Write security: 3; Read security: 5

This only applies to originating endpoints. These are criteria for automatically coming out of backup. Note

that NETWORK SUCCESS is only available when a backup criterion is not NET/DATA FAIL.

DIAL PLAN (CKT BACKUP) > USER TERM > IFCE CONFIG > STARTUP DELAY
Write security: 3; Read security: 5

The amount of time to wait after creating or changing the endpoint before allowing backup.

DIAL PLAN (CKT BACKUP) > USER TERM > IFCE CONFIG > BACKUP DELAY
Write security: 3; Read security: 5

The amount of time to delay after detecting an alarm before going into backup. This only applies to

originating endpoints. If the circuit comes out of alarm before this time has expired, the endpoint will not

go into backup.

NET/DATA FAIL DBU is initiated when either the network fails (possible causes include Red, Yellow,

Blue, or LOS alarms) or when the Nx56/64 module detects a loss of data transitions

on the V.35 interface. If Net/Data Fail is selected, the V.35 Nx INBAND option

must be ON. The remote TSU INBAND option must also be enabled.

When BACKUP CRITERIA is configured for NET/DATA FAIL, the RESTORE CRITERIA must be

MANUAL ONLY.

NET FAIL DBU is initiated when there is a network failure. Possible causes include LOS,

RED, Yellow, or Blue alarms.

MANUAL The ATLAS will never initiate DBU until it is manually set to do so.

NET SUCCESS When network is out of alarm

MANUAL ONLY Only by the Manual activator
