CONFIG

Provides diagnostic tools for suspected problems; under normal operation, 
users do not configure the VoFR devices (see Figure 3-6).

Read Security: 5
Identifies the VoFR device on the VCOM Module. VoFR devices are num-
bered 1

32.

» State

Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5
Controls the configuration state of the individual VoFR device. The 
VCOM Module determines the initial configuration state of each device. 
ATLAS uses this configuration information to determine which VoFR 
devices are functional and may be used; which are defective and should not 
be used; or which are not present on the module and should not be used. 
Users who suspect an individual VoFR device of improper operation can 
manually disable that device to prevent ATLAS from attempting to use it. 
Table 3-5 defines the possible states.

 

Table 3-5.  Possible Configuration States

State

Meaning

Deferred

Devices which fail built-in testing are automatically marked as 
Deferred, indicating that ATLAS declines to use the device.

Available

The device is properly functioning and can be used when 
required. ATLAS automatically marks devices that pass built-in 
testing as 

Available.

Disabled

Marking a device as 

Disabled prevents ATLAS from attempting 

to use it. You can mark a device currently in use as disabled 
without disturbing the connection, but the device will not be eligi-
ble for use in future calls until you re-mark it as

 Available. You 

might want to do this if you suspect that a particular device is 
malfunctioning and do not want any calls routed to it.
