CONFIGURING RESOURCES AND LINES

OVERVIEW

Resource refers to the computer resources that are part of the CyberSWITCH. A WAN resource is the physical interface for the attachment of lines (i.e., connections) to your system.

Lines are communication facilities from the carriers. These lines directly attach to your system. From the system perspective, lines provide the physical connection to switched networks. Lines are not required for LAN connections.

There is an optional element, the system subaddress, that you may configure for a point-multipoint line. This element is a call screening method. A subaddress is only needed if you have a line interface type of point-multipoint, and you choose the subaddress call screening method.

RESOURCES

Physical Resources may or may not be configurable, depending upon the country of operation. The WAN resource, Ethernet resource and Serial resource (COMMPORT) are preinstalled and preconfigured on all systems. However, switch type selection is country-dependent. Refer to the country or switch type descriptions below.
