Setting System Parameters
You can set some general system parameters to ensure the switch’s compatibility with the public network, and to aid network administration.
Some services, for instance ISDN, use slightly different versions in different countries. To make sure that the switch uses protocols consistent with the services it is connected to, set the system territory to the country or region in which your switch operates. Enter the command:
SET SYSTEM TERRITORY={AUSTRALIACHINAEUROPEJAPANKOREA
NEWZEALANDUSA}
