4-40 MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Configuring Individual WAN Connections
The Connection profile
Accounting Options
The Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > Accounting Options parameters that define
features for the accounting server and for accounting requests:
Parameter Description
Bill # Specifies a telephone number to be used for billing purposes. If a
number is specified, it is used either as a billing suffix or the calling-
party number. For robbed-bit lines, the MAX unit uses the billing
number as a suffix appended to each telephone number it dials for the
call.
Call-by-Call In a T1 Line profile, specifies the call-by-call signaling value to set for
routing calls from a local device through the unit to the network. When
it is set in another profile, this parameter specifies the PRI service to
use when placing a call using that profile. The Call-by-Call setting in
the Dial Plan profile overrides the Call-by-Call setting in the call and
Connection profiles.
Transit # Specifies a string for use in the transit network IE for PRI calling when
using an Interexchange Carrier (IEC). The default (null) causes the
unit to use any available IEC for long-distance calls.
Dialout OK Specifies whether or not the Connection profile can be used to dial out
using one of the unit’s digital modems.
NAS Port Type Determines the type of calls that can be received—analog, digital or
any.
Parameter Specifies
Acct Type Whether or not to use a connection-specific accounting server for
accounting related to this link. The MAX unit logs information to the
accounting server specified in the Ethernet profile, the Connection
profile, or both.
Acct Host IP address of a connection-specific accounting server to use for
information related to this link.
Acct Port User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number that the MAX unit uses in
accounting requests. This parameter applies in a Connection profile
only if the Acct Type parameter specifies that connection-specific
accounting information will be used.
Acct Timeout Amount of time the unit waits for a response to a RADIUS accounting
request. You can set this parameter globally and for each connection.
Acct Key RADIUS or TACACS+ shared secret. A shared secret acts like a
password between the unit and the accounting server. This parameter
applies in a Connection profile only if the Acct Type parameter
specifies that connection-specific accounting information will be used.
