Chapter 6: Setting Up Calls

Call Setup Fields

The fields available on the right side of the Call Setup dialog box depend on the service or port selected on the left side. The following table provides information about Call Setup fields:

Field Description

Channel The selected channel types determine the types of incoming

type calls the card accepts on the port(s) or service selected in the tree view.

For ISDN RAS ports ([0] PRI [1] PRI in the Ports column), Data 64K and Data 56K channel types are available.

For the DM Support service (DM support in the Services column), all of the channel types are available (Data 64K, Data 56K, Speech, and 3.1Khz). Channel types must be selected at this level to be available at the DM RAS or Serial Driver port level.

For the DM RAS modem port (Modems in the Ports column), Speech and 3.1Khz channel types are available.

For Serial Driver COM ports (COMixx in the Ports column), Data 64K, Data 56K, Speech, and 3.1Khz channel types are available. COM ports normally use Speech and 3.1 KHz channels. 64K and 56K options apply only for V.110 connections, which are not supported on some systems.

Speech or data channel types must be set up for both the DM RAS modem port and Serial Driver COM ports.

If different types of ports accept the same channel type, a Local Subscriber Number is required to determine which port incoming calls will be connected to.

For example, if you select Data 64K or Data 56K for a Serial Driver COM port and an ISDN RAS port, you must enter the local subscriber number(s) for the ports. Otherwise, connection problems may occur.
