Configuring inverse-multiplexed WAN connections
To configure inverse-multiplexed WAN connections, you not only set parameters based on the
provisioning of the line but also parameters that are defined in the specifications you receive
from the service provider’s Central Office (CO). The parameters are in call profiles, which are
the profiles in the Host/AIM6 (Host/Dual) > PortN Menu > Directory menu. (For the definition
of call profile, see “Assigning nailed channels to groups” on page 3-12.)
Set the following call profile parameters as appropriate for your provisioned line.
To set the following call-profile, you need some line information from your Central Office:
Parameter Specifies
Name Descriptive name for the profile. The value of the Name parameter
should be descriptive of the port.
Dial # Number used to dial out on this connection. Defines the far-end
number and can specify the method of placing the call.
Call Mgm The way that the MAX manages calls at an inverse multiplexing port
when AIM, FT1-AIM, FT1-B&O, or BONDING is the value for the
Call Type parameter.
Transit # A dialing prefix the MAX uses when making an outbound call. You
can specify a string for use in the transit network IE for PRI calling
when the call goes through an InterExchange Carrier (IEC). Transit #
does not apply to outbound calls on inband T1 lines.
Group The group number of a group of nailed channels assigned to the
connection. (A channel is assigned to a group in a Line N profile.)
FT1 Caller Whether the local codec initiates an FT1-AIM, FT1-B&O, or
Nailed/MPP call, or whether it waits for the remote end to initiate
these types of calls.
Auto-BERT That an automatic Bit Error Rate Test (Auto-BERT) begins as soon as
a call connects and runs for the number of seconds you specify. MAX
status windows display the results.
Parameter Specifies
Call Type Type of connection, such as switched or nailed, between the local and
remote codecs.
Data Svc The type of data service the link uses, such as 56K, 56KR, or 64K. The
Data Svc parameter affects how much bandwidth is available for a
particular session, and how channels can be allocated to the call.
Force 56 Whether the MAX uses only the 56-Kbps portion of a channel, even
when all 64-Kbps appear to be available. If you receive calls from
Europe or the Pacific Rim, use this parameter when the complete path
cannot distinguish between the Switched-56 and Switched-64 data
services.
