Configuring BRI lines
To configure BRI lines, you must set basic operational parameters, configure the link type
(multipoint or point-to-point mode), configure the B channels, and specify add-on telephone
numbers and, depending on link type, Service Profile IDentifiers (SPIDs). Proceed as follows:
1
Open Net/BRI > Line Config > Factory profile.
2
Set the Switch Type parameter to specify the carrier’s switch type.
3
Open Line 1.
4
Set the Link Type parameter to specify whether you want multipoint mode or
point-to-point mode.
5
To configure the B channels for switched usage and for routing to the local network.
Each BRI line has two B channels for user data and one D channel for signaling. Set the
B1 and B2 Usage parameters to specify how to use the B channels: Switched (the default),
Nailed, or Unused (not available for use).
6
Set the add-on numbers.
–
If you are using multipoint mode, set the Prim Num parameter, and the Sec Num
parameter, to specify the primary and the secondary add-on number, respectively.
Also set the Pri SPID parameter and Sec SPID parameter to specify the Service
Profile Identifier (SPID) associated with the Primary and Secondary number,
respectively.
For example:
Pri Num=555-1212
Pri SPID=01555121200
Sec Num=555-1213
Sec SPID=01555121300
–
If you are using point-to-point mode, set the Prim Num parameter to specify the
primary add-on number. Do not specify SPIDs.

You are now ready to test the BRI WAN connection. Proceed to“Testing the WAN connection”
on page 6-24 for the test procedure.
