Set the Ans N # parameters by entering the unique digits of the telephone numbers dialed
by callers who use digital devices. For example, set
Ans 1#=2222
.
This setting tells the MAX to route all calls coming in from telephone number 555-2222
(the hunt group for digital callers) to the MAX Ethernet module.
Setting up dynamic IP addressing
If you are going to dynamically assign addresses to incoming callers, set the following
parameters:
•
Pool#1 Start—Specify the first IP address in the pool.
•
Pool#1 Count—Specify the number of IP addresses in the pool.
Exiting and saving your changes
When you have finished setting the Ans N # parameters:
1
Press the Left Arrow or Escape key to exit.
2
In the confirmation menu, press 2 to save and exit.
You have now set all the parameters necessary for your E1 line configuration.
Checking the line’s status
After the E1/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/E1 > Line 1 Stat window. (For information about navigating the status windows, see
“Using status windows” on page 3-21.)
By default, the status of Line 1 in slot 1 (10-000 Net/E1) is shown in the top-left status
window. For example:
|--------------------|
|10-100 1234567890 |
| L1/LA ----------
|
| 12345678901234 |
| nnnnnnnnnnnnnn |
|--------------------|
