Caller Identification Method

Possible Settings: Caller ID, Proprietary

Default Setting: Caller ID

Specifies the method used to identify callers.

NOTE: The Caller Identification Method setting must be the same at both ends of the circuit.

Caller ID – Incoming calls will only be answered and the frame relay link on this Link Profile will only be activated when the Caller ID received from the switch matches one of the configured Inbound Calling IDs.

Proprietary – Incoming calls will always be answered, even when no Caller ID is provided by the switch, provided the following conditions are met:

TLink Status is set to Auto (the default). At least one ISDN Link Profile is enabled.

When using the Proprietary method, the unit queries the originating unit for its Local Phone Number. If the returned phone number matches one of the configured Inbound Calling IDs, the call is accepted. If the queried unit does not respond with its phone number within five seconds, the unit drops the call.

Alternate Outbound Phone Number

Possible Settings: 0 – 9, *, #, space, _ , –, (, or )

Default Setting: none

Specifies an alternate phone number to call (the ISDN Called Party Identifier) when a call using the primary Outbound Phone Number was unsuccessful. Up to 18 valid characters can be entered. Each Outbound Phone Number must be unique. If not, the Alt Outbound Phone Number is Not Unique message appears and you must enter another phone number.

NOTE: For every originating (alternate outbound) phone number entered, an answering (inbound) phone number must be entered at the far end, and vice versa.

Currently active calls are not effected when this number is changed.

Assigning Time Slots/Cross Connections

The Time Slot Assignment/Cross Connect feature provides an easy method of assigning time slots for frame relay data and creating cross-connections to the synchronous data interface. The system allows you to assign DS0s on the T1 network interface and between the user data port and network interface in order to share the T1 network.

You can also clear cross-connection assignments for the system, or for a selected slot or interface.

NOTE:

Although it is not required, it is suggested that you progress through each screen in order, from top to bottom.
