11 Set X.25 Node Type to DCE.
Note: The X.25 Node Type parameter specifies the X.25 application and manner in
which the MAX unit uses the switched-B channel(s) to support that application.
12 Set the other parameters to match the requirements of the calling X.25 DTE.
13 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
ISDN packet mode (on-demand X.25)
MAX 6000 units support switched X.25 connections in addition to nailed X.25 connections.
Typically, there is a nailed X.25 connection between the client and the X.25 switch and
between the X.25 switch and the MAX unit. MAX units also support packet-mode X.25
connections. Figure 6-5 shows a client dialing in to a MAX 60 0 0 unit over a switched X.25
connection. This client also has an always on/dynamic ISDN (AO/DI) connection to the MAX
unit. When requesting extra bandwidth, the client dials ISDN calls to the MAX unit.
Figure 6-5. ISDN packet mode
To configure ISDN packet mode (on-demand X.25), proceed as follows for each client:
1Open the Ethernet > Connections > client’s profile > X.32 profile.
2Set Encaps to X.32.
3Set Calling # to the client’s number.
4Set Called # to the number of the MAX ISDN line.
5Set the Encaps Options > X.25 Prof parameter to the name of a profile set in the Ethernet
> Connections > X.25 menu, that is, to the name of the X.25 profile to be used for this
client.
6Set the Appl Mode parameter to ISDN Pkt Mode.
7Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
8Open the Ethernet > X.25 profile to be used for this client.
9Set Active to Yes.
10 Set Call Type to Switched.
11 Set X.25 Node Type to DTE.
Note: The X.25 Node Type parameter specifies the X.25 application and how the MAX
unit uses the switched-B channel(s) to support that application.
12 Set the other parameters to match the line provisioning from the X.25 network.
13 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
