You must complete the following configuration tasks when you initially configure your VISM card.
1. Configure the operating mode.
2. Allocate resources.
3. Configure the connection admission control (CAC).

Configuring the Operating Mode

Complete the following steps to configure the correct operating mode for your VISM card immediately
after power is applied:
Step 1 Type the dspvismparam command and press Enter to determine the current VISM operating mode.
Note A new VISM card (one that has not been configured) is displayed by default in VoIP
operating mode.
The operating mode of the VISM card is displayed in the first line of the VISM card parameter list.
Step 2 If the VISM card operating mode displayed in Step 1 is correct for your application, proceed to the
“Allocating Resources” section on page 4-9. If the VISM card operating mode displayed in Step 1 is not
correct for your application, proceed to Step 3.

1. The cnfvismmode command may be mandatory or optional, depending upon the operating mode with which the VISM card
is seen as displayed on your terminal. A VISM card that is not configured is initially displayed in the VoIP operating mode.
Subsequent accesses to the VISM card result in the card being displayed in the VoIP operating mode or in the operating
mode you have last configured for the card. If the card is displayed as being in the wrong operat ing mo de, the cnfvismmode
command is mandatory to change the operating mode. Use the dspvismparam command to verify the VISM card’s current
operating mode.
