SmartWare Software Configuration Guide37 • RBS interface configuration

Mode: Interface RBS

Step	Command	Purpose

		Default: Enabled

Configuring number of Rings before Off-Hook

The Loop Start and the Ground Start protocol on the subscriber side identifying an incoming call by detecting the Ring-Signal sent by the exchange side. This command specifies the number of ring cycles before the sub- scriber side is going Off-Hook and answers the call.

Mode: Interface RBS

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node(if-rbs)[if-name]#ring-number value	Defines the number of ring cycles before the sub-
		scriber side answers the call.
		Default: 1

Configuring ready to dial strategy

If on the Loop Start or Ground Start protocol the subscriber side originates a call, there is no protocol specifi- cation for the exchanges side to signal readiness for accepting the called party number. Even the E&M Imme- diate Start protocol is symmetric, the terminating side is also unable to do that. This command specifies for these protocols the strategy they must apply to determine the right moment for sending the called party num- ber.

•Dialtone: The originating side sends the called party number as soon as it detects the dial tone.

•Timeout: The originating side sends the called party number after a timeout that starts at the Off-Hook moment.

Mode: Interface RBS

1node(if-rbs)[if-name]#[no] dial-after {dial- tone timeout seconds}

Defines the ready to dial strategy. Default: dialtone

RBS interface debugging

For the investigation of possible call signaling or interoperability problems, there exists a debug command with the options ‘datapath’, ‘error’ and ‘signaling’. In addition exists a ‘show’ command that outputs information about the current interface configuration and about the states of the protocol endpoints.

Mode: Operator execution
