MAX 3000 Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
Quickstart
Configuring WAN lines
Configuring the T1/PRI lines
To configure the T1 slot, you must set the parameters that specify the lines’ connection to the
Central Office switch.
For the Quickstart configuration, you open the Factory profile to the slot’s Line 1 profile, and
specify signaling mode, framing type, encoding, channel service unit (CSU) usage, cable
length, line attenuation, and channel usage. If you are using inband signaling, you need to
configure incoming call routing. If you want to use dynamic IP addressing, you need to
configure the address pool characteristics.
For more information about any parameter in the following procedures, see Table 6-3 on
page 6-11 or the MAX Reference.
Specifying and configuring signaling mode
To specify the signaling mode, open the Net/T1 > Line Config > Factory profile > Line 1
profile for the line.
Set the Sig Mode parameter to specify the type of signaling to be used on the T1 line: ISDN,
ISDN_NFAS, or Inband.
To configure the signaling mode you selected:
•
If you selected ISDN_NFAS as the signaling mode, set the NFAS ID Num parameter to
specify a number from 0 to 31 for each NFAS line. You must set this parameter to a unique
number. The default is 1 for line 1 and 2 for line 2.
•
If you selected Inband as the signaling mode, set the Rob Ctl parameter to specify the
robbed-bit call-control mechanism.
•
If you selected ISDN as the signaling mode, set the Switch Type parameter to specify the
type of WAN switch used at the line’s point-of-presence.

# 1 Start
If you are going to use dynamic IP addressing, specify the first
IP address in the IP address pool. The MAX chooses an address
from the pool and assigns it to an incoming call if Assign
Adrs=Yes in the Answer profile (the default) or if the calling
station requests an address assignment.
Ethernet > Mod Config
> WAN Options > Pool
# 1 Count
If you are going to use dynamic IP addressing, specify the num-
ber of IP addresses in the IP address pool. The MAX chooses an
address from these pools and assigns it to an incoming call if
Assign Adrs=Yes in the Answer profile (the default) or if the
calling station requests an address assignment.
