Chapter 3 Network Setup
GENERAL
The 500 TA unit can be configured to work with a variety of Central Office
switches. This configuration must be done before connection to the ISDN net-
work. Configuration can be accomplished via the standard AT command set or
the LocalMenu. This section gives step by step instructions on how to config-
ure the network parameters in the 500 TA using the AT command set. If you
wish to use LocalMenu, see
page 33 for details.
NETWORK SETUP
The following subsections explain how to set up the 500 TA for use with the
ISDN network. You will need certain information from your telephone service
provider before configuring the 500 TA. Follow the instructions on the ISDN
Ordering Information sheets included with your unit (also duplicated in
Appendix B of this manual) to obtain the necessary information from your
telephone service provider.
Network Setup Using the AT Command Set
In order to use the AT command set, either a PC with terminal emulation soft-
ware installed (such as Windows Terminal) or an asynchronous terminal must
be connected to the PC (DTE) port on the rear of the 500 TA. The 500 TA is
configured from the factory to operate with AT commands. For more informa-
tion about AT commands refer to
page 27 .
The setting of your 500 TA switch options will depend upon the configuration
of your ISDN line. If you ordered your ISDN service using the ISDN Ordering
Codes (Form #1 in
Appendix B ), use Table 1 on page 20 as a guide for setting
the 500 TA switch options. If you ordered your ISDN service using the alter-
nate method (Form #2 in
Appendix B ) then use Table 2 as a guide for setting
the switch options. Table 3 lists the AT commands necessary to configure the
switch options. Use these commands along with Table 1 or Table 2 to set the
switch options.
The Application Examples section ( page 23 ) provides step by step configura-
tion sequences for some common applications. Follow the instructions to con-
figure your 500 TA for proper operation with your particular application.
NOTE: Always set the Switch Type first. When the Switch Type is changed, the
Switch Version, SPIDs, DNs, and TEIs will be reset to default values.
