Configuring WAN Access
Configuring Host/AIM6 and Host/Dual ports
For detailed information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Note: Lucent’s proprietary Palm Top controller can access the MAX 3000 T1 system menus
through the serial (UART) port on the Host/Dual card.
Pairing ports for dual-port calls
In a dual-port call, the codec performs its own inverse multiplexing on two channels so that a
call can achieve twice the bandwidth of a single channel. A pair of inverse multiplexing ports
on the MAX unit connects to the codec. The pair includes a primary and a secondary port.
Because the unit places the two calls in tandem and clears the calls in tandem, it considers
them a single call.
Creating a dual-port configuration does not prevent you from dialing any other type of call
from the primary host port of the pair, or from using either port for receiving any type of call.
Pairing ports does not disable RS-366 dialing at the secondary port.
Enabling dual-port calls
If you are configuring the interface to an older model codec that does not support inverse
multiplexing, you can pair two inverse multiplexing ports to provide double the bandwidth for
the videoconferencing call. A dual-port call requires a dual interface on the codec. The
following configuration pairs the first two inverse multiplexing ports in a Host/AIM6 card:
1 Open Host/Dual > Mod Config.
2 Assign a name (optional).
3 Set the Dual Port parameter to pair two ports. For example:
Host/Dual
Mod Config
Module Name=Dual Port Call
Port 1/2 Dual=Yes
Palmtop=Full
Palmtop Port #=No
Palmtop Menus=Standard
4 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
For more information, see “Configuring a dual-port call” on page 3-58.
Palmtop Whether the MAX enables or disables access to inverse multiplexing
ports through the palmtop controller.
Palmtop Port # Inverse multiplexing port to which a palmtop port has access if
palmtop access is restricted.
Palmtop Menus Whether the user of a palmtop controller connected to a palmtop port
has access to the standard set of menus, the command-line interface, or
the simplified menus.
