MultiVoice Gateway for the MAX— User’s Guide
Configuring the WAN Interfaces
Configuring ISDN BRI network cards
Configuring the Net BRI line for outbound calls
In the following example of a Net BRI configuration, the MultiVoice Gateway has two T1 or
E1 lines and has a Net BRI card installed in slot 5. To enable local users to use the BRI lines to
initiate outbound connections, using the BRI lines, the MultiVoice Gateway must be
configured for trunk groups. To enable outbound calls to use trunk groups:
1
Open System > Sys Config and enable trunk groups system-wide:
System
Sys Config
Use Trunk Grps=Yes
2
Close the System profile.
3
Open Net/BRI > Line Config > Line 1:
Net/BRI
Line Config
Name=bri-net
Switch Type=NI-1
BRI Analog Encode=Mu-Law
>Line 1...
4
Assign both of the line’s channels to trunk group 6 (for example):
B1 Trnk Grp=6
B2 Trnk Grp=6
5
Repeat this trunk group setting for the remaining BRI lines (Lines 2—8), so that all BRI
lines are in trunk group 6.
6
Close the Net BRI profile.
To specify that outbound calls initiated by the MultiVoice Gateway unit’s bridge/router use
trunk groups:
7
Open Ethernet > Mod Config > WAN Options and set the Dial Plan parameter to Trunk
Grp.
Ethernet
Mod Config
Wan options...
Dial Plan=Trunk Grp
8
Close the Ethernet profile.
To specify that a connection uses a BRI line:
9
Open the Connection profile.
10 Include the Net BRI trunk group number in the Dial # parameter. For example:
Ethernet
Connections
Dial #=6-555-1212
When the first digit of the Dial # is a trunk group number, the MultiVoice Gateway uses
the channels in that trunk group to place the call.
11 Close the Connection profile.
