Chapter 11: Board Configuration

Configuring the MAX Board

The MAX Server is a telecom appliance that consists of an embedded DSP board and two access board slots. AltiWare treats the entire MAX system as one board with two access board options. The Boards window displays the MAX board as “MAX[xxyy(-T1),xxyy]:

xxrefers to the number of analog trunks, and yy refers to the number of analog extensions. If an access board has a T1/E1 port, -T1is added to the end.

In the Boards window, double-click the MAX board to open the main Board Configuration window:

The Channel Group Info panel shows the channel groups (groups of channels that belong to the same type). For example, if one 4x4xT1 access board and one 4x8 access board are installed in the MAX main board, there will be three channel groups for the 4x4xT1 card, and two channel groups for the 4x8. When one of the channel groups is selected, the Channel Mapping List reflects the selection.

Double-clicking a T1/E1 channel group opens the channel group configuration dialog box. For information on configuring in this dialog box, see “T1 and E1 Configuration” on page 129. This is available on T1 or E1 channel groups only.

In the channel group configuration dialog box, click the Protocol button to open the Protocol Configuration dialog box. For information on configuring protocol, see “Setting up Channels on the Triton T1/E1 Board” on page 133.

Double-clicking a channel in the Channel Mapping List opens the appropriate configuration dialog box for that channel.
