Parameter
What you should enter
Switch Type
Press Enter until the switch type for your service is displayed.
Note:
If you are not sure what the switch type is and you have
ISDN service in North America, select AutoSPID and the
Pipeline will connect to the switch by means of the AutoSwitch
utility, identify it, and attempt to guess the SPIDs.
Chan Usage
The default is switch/switch. You can leave this setting at the
default for most services. It refers to the method the telephone
company uses to link your line to the public switched telephone
network. Only when you have a leased line, do you need to use a
setting other than the default.
For Frame Relay you might need to specify switch/unused or
leased/unused, but generally the default can be used.
My Num A
My Num B
For ISDN, enter the directory numbers for your service.
Note:
AT&T Point-to-Point service uses only one directory
number and no SPIDs.
For Frame Relay, these parameters are not used.
SPID 1
SPID 2
Enter the numbers provided by your telephone company.
For Frame Relay, these parameters are not used.
Data Usage
Phone 1 Usage
Phone 2 Usage
Phone Num Binding
These parameters appear on units with phone ports. Leave the
settings at the default unless you want to dedicate one channel
for voice. The defaults allow voice and data on both channels.
See the Reference Guide for details on each parameter.
For Frame Relay, these parameters are not used.
