Configuring WAN Access
Configuring digital modems
Following are the parameters that appear for most of the cards available on the MAX unit:
For detailed information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Quiescing digital modems and returning them to service
If you set a Net/T1 or Net/E1 > Line Config > 1st Line or 2nd Line parameter to Quiesced, the
MAX disables all modems on the line without disrupting existing connections. When an active
call disconnects, that modem is added to the disabled modem list and is not available for use. If
all modems are on the disabled list, incoming callers receive a busy signal until the modems
have been restored for service. When you reenable a quiesced modem, a delay of up to 20
seconds might occur before the modem becomes available for service.
Note: Booting the MAX restores all quiesced lines, slots, and ports to service.
For more information about quiescing digital modems, see the 1st Line and 2nd Line
parameters, in the MAX Reference.
Sample configuration
Following is an example of configuring a V.90 S56 III Modem-30 module, (This modem card
contains 30 modems, but it is other wise the same as a V.90 S56 III Modem-18 or V.90 S56 III
Modem-24 module.)
1Open V.90 S56 III Modem-30 > Mod Config.
2Specify the unique digits of the telephone numbers to be routed to digital modems.
For example:
V.90 S56 III Modem-30
Mod Config
Ans 1#=12
Ans 2#=13
Ans 3#=14
Ans 4#=15
3Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
Parameter Specifies
Module Name Your descriptive name for the Mod Config subprofile . (Th is param e ter is
optional. Functionality is not affected if you do not enter a value.)
Ans N# Telephone number for incoming-call routing. When the MAX receives
calls to this telephone number, it routes the call to the first available
modem.
ModemSlot Enable/disable all the slots for modem use.
Modem #NEnable/disable an individual slot for modem use. (If the card installed has
eight modems per modem slot card, there will be eight entries for this
parameter. If the card installed has 30 modems per modem slot card, there
will be 30 entries for this parameter.)
