MAX 3000 Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
Quickstart
Configuring WAN lines
Saving the Line 1 profile
When you have finished configuring the line, save its profile, as follows:
1
Press the Left Arrow or Escape key to exit the Line 1 profile.
A confirmation menu appears:
EXIT?
> 0=ESC (Don’t exit)
1=Exit and discard
2=Exit and accept
2
Press 2 to save and exit.
Setting up dynamic IP addressing
If you want to assign IP addresses dynamically to incoming calls, you need to establish an IP
address pool. (It is possible to configure more than one pool, but in the Quickstart
configuration, you configure only one.) Proceed as follows:
1
At the Main Edit Menu, select Ethernet > Mod Config > WAN Options.
The WAN Options menu appears.
2
Set the Pool #1 Start parameter to specify the first IP address in the pool.
3
Set the Pool #1 Count parameter to specify the number of IP addresses in the pool.
4
Press the Escape or Left Arrow key to exit the Ethernet > Mod Config profile.
In the confirmation menu, press 2 to save and exit.
5
Press Escape or the Left Arrow key until you return to the Main Edit Menu.
You have now set all the parameters necessary for your T1 line configuration.
Checking the line’s status
After the T1/PRI provider has established service, check the status of the line by observing the
MAX unit’s front-panel indicator lights and/or viewing the line-status window.
Indicator lights
Observe the MAX unit’s front-panel indicator lights as illustrated in “Interpreting the MAX
indicator lights” on page 2-9.
Is the Power light on and are the Fault and Alarm lights off?
•
If Yes: Continue on to “Testing the WAN connection” on page 6-24.
•
If No: The attempt to connect to the T1/PRI line was unsuccessful. If the Alarm light is on,
check your cabling. Also verify with your T1/PRI line provider that you have the correct
Framing Mode value.
Line-status window
You can also use the line status windows to verify that the lines are physically connected and in
service, but idle. To display the Line Status window, use Tab and the arrow keys to access the
Net/T1 > Line 1 Stat window. (For information about navigating the status windows, see
“Using status windows” on page 3-21.)
