Configuring the R2MFC MBM

Trunk protocol conversion provides interworking between two different trunk protocols, and requires configuration for the following:

E1- MFCR2

E1- ETSI Euro-PRI

The MFCR2 is the external interface. The external interface connects to a public network. The R2MFC MBM contains preprogrammed country-specific MFCR2 settings that can be selected using the DIP switches on the faceplate of the R2MFC MBM. The MFCR2 settings can also be customized. The PRI is an internal link to the BCM. The PRI setting are configured to predefined settings when the region is selected during BCM initialization. The PRI does not require customization, but it must be configured as detailed in “Configuring the PRI (internal) link” on page 52.

This chapter lists the configurable parameters of both the MFCR2 side and the PRI side of the R2MFC MBM, and explains how to configure them. Figure 16 provides an overview of the configuration process.
