5.Configure the IFCE CONFIG options for the backup link. These include the Dial Backup parameters. Navigate to the IFCE CONFIG option and press <Enter>. This will display a list of the Dial Backup options. The options are described following the figure.

•ORIGINATE/ANSWER

ORIGINATE: The ATLAS 550 will be the originating side in the event of a failure.

ANSWER: The ATLAS 550 will answer any incoming calls, but only go into backup if an error is detect- ed.

ANSWER ALWAYS: The ATLAS 550 will answer any incoming calls and immediately go into backup.

•OUTGOING CALL TYPE

DIGITAL 56K: Data rate for the backup endpoint is set to 56kbps.

DIGITAL 64K: Data rate for the backup endpoint is set to 64kbps.

•SOURCE ID

The SOURCE ID should remain in the default state unless it has been assigned elsewhere in the configu- ration. Please refer to the ATLAS 550 System Manual for a detailed discussion of the SOURCE ID field.

•OUTDIAL NUMBER

This field should contain the number you want the ATLAS 550 to dial upon going into backup.

•FORCE MODE:

AUTO: The ATLAS 550 will automatically follow the dial backup configuration parameters to go into backup.

FORCED: The ATLAS 550 must be manually forced to go into backup upon detection of a failure.

DISABLED: The ATLAS 550 will never go into backup regardless of data integrity.

•BACKUP CRITERIA

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 inter- face. If NET/DATA FAIL is selected, the V.35 Nx INBAND option must be ON. The remote TSU inband must also be enabled.

NET FAIL: DBU is initiated when there is a network failure. Possible causes include LOS, Red, Yellow, or Blue alarms.
