Configuring WAN Access
Introduction to WAN configuration
Introduction to WAN configuration
To configure a MAX unit, you set parameters in the VT100 menus. (For a description of
navigating the interface, see the Installation and Basic Configuration Guide for your MAX.)
Many of the menus and submenus include profiles, which are groups of related parameters. To
begin setting the parameters, you must understand how the VT100 menus relate to slots and
ports. You must also understand telephone number assignments and how a MAX unit routes
inbound and outbound calls.
How the VT100 menus relate to slots and ports on the MAX 6000
The menus in the VT100 interface are numbered to correspond to slots in the MAX 6000 unit.
A slot can be an actual expansion slot or virtual slot on the unit’s motherboard. Virtual slots
include the System slot, two T1 or E1 slots, the Ethernet slot, the Etherdata slot, and the Serial
WAN slot.

The system itself is assigned slot number 0 (menu 00-000). The System menu contains the
following profiles and submenus, which are all related to systemwide configuration,
maintenance, and security:

configuring and testing the lines are organized as follows:
Slot #8
Slot #7
