MAX 3000 Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
Getting Acquainted with the MAX
The items in your MAX package
Checking the expansion cards
The MAX accommodates one or two expansion cards (also referred to as expansion modules
or slot cards).
The current software version supports use of the V.90 S56 III digital modem card, ISDN BRI
network-interface and terminal-interface cards, the IDSL card, the V.110 card, and the
PIAFS-16 card on the MAX 3000. Additional expansion cards will be supported in future
software releases.
Note:
Not all MAX models support all Lucent expansion cards. You must install an
expansion card in a model that supports that specific card. Lucent’s expansion cards are
supported only in Lucent devices.
!
Caution:
You must insert any expansion card with its label facing down. You can damage a
MAX unit by incorrectly installing an expansion card.
V.90 S56 III modem card (Series 56 III)
The V.90 S56 III modem card (Figure 1-4) provides 24 or 30 modems. The card can terminate
both modem and HDLC calls.

ISDN BRI network-interface and terminal-interface cards
The ISDN BRI network-interface card and ISDN terminal-interface card each have eight ISDN
BRI ports (as shown in Figure 1-5). You can install a maximum of two ISDN BRI
network-interface cards in the MAX.

IDSL card
The Lucent ISDN Digital Subscriber Line (IDSL) card (Figure 1-6) appears as BRI/LT in the
VT100 menu screen and supports incoming and outgoing voice calls. To support outgoing
voice calls, the connected Terminal Equipment (TE) must use Q.931 en-bloc dialing to send all
dialed digits to the MAX in one block (the ISDN Call Setup message), rather than send one
digit at a time.
The MAX receives outgoing call requests from attached ISDN TE and routes voice calls to the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) over a T1 line or ISDN PRI line. The MAX
receives incoming voice calls and uses Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) to route
them to TE devices connected to IDSL cards.
