SmartSwitch 1800 Voice Conﬁguration

Peer Node Number

This parameter is not used if the peer node type is a SmartSwitch 1800. Enter a number 1 to 61 to specify the node number of the remote device.

Peer Node Port

This parameter is not used if the peer node type is a SmartSwitch 1800. Enter a number 1 to 17 to specify the voice port number on the remote device.

Local Node Number

This parameter is not used if the peer node type is a SmartSwitch 1800. Enter a number 1 to 61 to specify the node number of the local SmartSwitch 1800. This number must match the Voice Node Number entered in the system-level Voice Parameters window (see ConÞguring System-Level Voice Parameters,

page 12-2). The default value for this parameter is 1.

Local Node Port

This parameter is not used if the peer node is a SmartSwitch 1800. Enter a number 1 to 17 to specify the voice port number on the local SmartSwitch 1800.

Frame Relay RLP

Enter the RLP number of the logical interface of this end of the frame relay link. This would always be 0 for RLP0 on the SmartSwitch 1800.

Frame Relay Port

Enter the port number of the local frame relay port over which Voice will be transmitted. This will be port numbers 0 through 3 on the SmartSwitch 1800.

Frame Relay DLCI

Enter a number 16 to 991 specifying local frame relay DLCI over which Voice will be transmitted.

Enable Fragment

This parameter is not currently supported and must be set to No.
