Configuring the MAX unit to use Answer Plan profiles
With MAXDAX, you can define Answer Plan profiles, which the MAX unit checks if you
have set no channel-specific parameters. You configure the unit to compare called number,
data service of the call, or both, to values in the profiles. If the unit finds a match, it routes the
incoming call to the first available channel in the channel group specified in the Answer Plan
profile.
For example, if the MAX unit receives a call on channel 3, and the Net/T1 (E1) > Line Config
> Line Config profile > Line N > Net2Net Incoming Calls > Ch 3 Dest ChanGroup parameter is
set to 0 (zero), the unit compares the called number and data service of the incoming call with
configured Answer Plan profiles. If you configure an Answer Plan profile with values for
Answer # and Answer Data Svc, the values specified for these parameters must match the
values of the corresponding parameters of the incoming call for the unit to route the call to the
specified destination channel-group. If you set only the Answer # or the Answer Data Svc
parameter, only the parameter you have set is compared.
Note: Answer Data Svc applies only to calls received on PRI lines. With inband T1 lines,
there is no facility to pass data service information to a called unit. If your unit receives calls
on inband T1 lines, and you want to use Answer Plan profiles, make sure you leave the Answer
Data Svc parameter blank.
To configure an Answer Plan profile:
1Open a System > Answer Plan profile.
2Set the Ch N Dest ChanGroup parameter to a value that matches the number of a group
you created by setting Ch N ChanGroup parameters as described in “Configuring channels
on which the MAX unit sends outgoing calls” on page3-76.
3If you want the unit to select this Answer Plan profile on the basis of the called number of
the incoming call, set Answer #.
4If you want the unit to select this Answer Plan profile on the basis of the data service of
the incoming call, set Answer Data Svc.
If you set both the Answer # parameter and the Answer Data Svc parameter, the incoming
call must match both parameters for the unit to use the specified Answer Plan profile.
5Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
If the profile you have configured is not the active profile, activate it as described in
“Activating a profile” on page 2-7.
Displaying MAXDAX configurations
A DO menu is a context-sensitive list of commands that appears when you press Ctrl-D. The
commands in the list vary on the basis of the menu the unit is displaying when you press
Ctrl-D. When the unit is displaying the Net/T1 (E1) > Line Config profile, or any subprofile
under Net/T1 > Line Config, and you press Ctrl-D, the unit displays the following command
