Implementing a basic configuration
A basic configuration provides enough functionality to verify that the MAX is up and running,
connected, and able to perform basic functions. The procedures described in this chapter
assume that you have not configured the MAX. Therefore, all parameters initially are at their
factory default settings. Do not turn the MAX off before you have completed all of the
procedures. You must perform the configuration tasks in the order in which they are presented.
The Quickstart configuration involves modifying the following profiles:
Note:
The question marks (??) that might appear in the upper right-hand corner of the Edit
screens and status windows indicate that there is no link to the E1/PRI line. They disappear
once you have configured the E1/PRI line.
Configuring the E1/PRI lines
To configure a E1 line with the information you recorded in Table 3-6 on page 3-28, select the
line’s profile and specify the signaling mode. Then set the parameters that configure the
signaling mode you have specified, and set the other required parameters. If you use R2
signaling, configure incoming call routing for the line before you save the settings you have
entered. If you use ISDN signaling, you set additional parameters after you have saved the
Line N profile. When finished, check the line’s status.
Profile
Parameters that apply
Line N
One of the E1/PRI lines
Ethernet
The MAX unit’s Ethernet address and protocols
Connection
Establishment of a WAN link and to the routing and bridging of data
packets across the link
Answer
All incoming calls. The MAX uses the parameters in the Answer
profile to determine what to do with incoming calls. Note that similar
parameters that appear in Connection profiles take precedence over
Answer profile parameters.
