length that the receiving side allows. Sometimes this information will be exchanged during handshaking. However, few manufacturers, if any, have implemented this mechanism.

If the sending side sends packets greater than what the receiving side allows, the receiving side will discard the frame and reply with a Frame Reject frame (FRMR). FRMR indicates that the information received is too long. Both sides will then reset their link layer negotiation and re-send the frame again. Usually this will happen repeatedly until the call gets disconnected.

The omni has a fixed maximum receiving frame size of 2048 octets which is larger than most devices can support. The default maximum sending frame size is 252 octets for V.120 and 2048 for X.75. If you need to change the maximum sending frame size, the ATCL command should be used.

Type:

ATCL252<Enter> (Set the frame size to 252 octets, user value between 1-2048)

TA responds:

OK

Type:

ATCL?<Enter> (To inquire about the current setting of the packet length)

TA responds:

Maximum user data length in a packet (byte) : 252

Answering a Call using MSN

When answering an incoming call, the call will first be identified if the caller number matches the MSN settings.

The Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) supplementary service enables multiple ISDN numbers to be assigned to a single ISDN BRI line. It allows the caller to select, via the public network, one or more distinct terminals from a variety of terminal choices. Since the Omni
