have to assign a profile name and set a couple of other parameters that apply to the entire
profile, but most parameters are specific to a single line. You have to open each Line N
subprofile and set a few basic operational parameters, parameters for configuring the B
channels, and parameters for configuring add-on numbers and SPIDs.
Specifying a name and other settings for the profile
To begin configuring an ISDN BRI network card, open one of the Net/BRI > Line Config
profiles and set the following parameters:
Setting a line’s basic operational parameters
When you are ready to begin configuring a specific ISDN BRI line, open the line’s Line N
subprofile and set the following parameters:
For detailed information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Parameter Specifies
Name Descriptive name for the profile. You can configure several profiles in a
Net/BRI slot and activate a profile when it is needed. (This parameter is
optional. Functionality is not affected if you do not enter a value.)
Switch Type Type of switch (carrier-specific) that provides the ISDN service for the
MAX.
BRI Analog
Encode Support for user-selectable analog encoding for the BRI interface. If you
are going to receive modem calls, you can set this parameter to specify
the encoding type.
Parameter Specifies
Enabled Availability of an ISDN BRI line. If you set the Enabled par ameter to No,
the line is not available for use.
Clock Source That the line can (Yes) or cannot (No) be used as the clock source for
timing synchronous transmissions between the sending and the receiving
device. A MAX unit only has one clock source. The first line that comes
up is the clock source for all the lines. If you set this parameter to No, the
MAX uses its internal clock.
Link Type Whether the line is operating in point-to-point or multipoint mode.
In point-to-point mode, the MAX requires one telephone number and no
Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDS). In multipoint mode, the MAX
requires two telephone numbers and two SPIDS. All international switch
types except DBP Telecom, and all U.S. switch types except AT&T
5ESS, operate in multipoint mode.
