Configure your specified signaling mode
With the Line 1 profile selected, set the appropriate signaling mode for the Sig Mode
parameter to:
•
None—A leased line.
•
ISDN—ISDN signaling using the D channel. The 32nd channel of the E1 line must be
designated as the D channel.
•
DPNSS—The interface supports DPNSS or DASS 2 signaling.
•
R2—R2 signaling.
•
Metered—Metered R2 signaling protocol, used in Brazil and South Africa.
•
Chinese—A version of the R2 signaling protocol specified for use in China.
If you have selected the ISDN setting, set the Switch Type parameter to the type of WAN
switch used at the line’s point-of-presence:
N/A (appropriate for Sig Mode=R2)
AT&T
NTI
NI-2
GloBanD
Japan
Setting the remaining Line N parameters
After you have set the required parameter or parameters for your signaling mode, set the
remaining parameters for the line:
1
Select the type of framing this line uses (G.703 or 2DS).
Note:
If you select G.703, the MAX provides CRC-4 checking. If you select 2DS, it does
not.
2
Set the encoding used on this line: The selections are:
–
None: This is identical to AMI, but without density enforcement.
–
AMI
–
B8ZS
3
Set the Facility Data Link (FDL) used on this line. The selections are:
–
N/A (appropriate for Framing Mode=D4)
–
None
–
AT&T
–
ANSI
–
Sprint
4
Specify the cable distance between the MAX and the WAN interface equipment.
If the MAX has an internal CSU, select the N/A settings. Otherwise, select the correct
cable distance in feet between MAX and the CSU or other network (WAN) interface unit
to which it is connected. The default is 1–133.
