Figure 1-21. Single and Switch Mode
The ISDN line does not need to be connected or available to all applications at all
times. The different switch modes can allocate the ISDN line as follows:
•
Connect after power up
- Configures MX-2100 to connect the ISDN line from
power up until power off. Using this option, the ISDN line is always open
during a MX-2100 session.
•
Manual
- Configures MX-2100 to trigger the ISDN line connection only upon
operator request by using the
Connect Switch
command. The ISDN line
remains open until the operator requests to disconnect by using the
Disconnect Switch
command. For information on the
Connect
Switch
and
Disconnect Switch
commands, refer to the
Command Set
Description
appendix.
•
Automatic
- Configures MX-2100 to automatically connect the ISDN line
when an I/O request is made. The data cards KLS.1/N, KLS.2, KHS.1 and
KHS.2 and the KVF.4 voice card (analog interfaces only) provide a trigger to
automatically connect the ISDN line. These data and voice cards must be
assigned a high priority (via the
DEF CON
command) to allow the trigger to
begin dialing. After the I/O transfer is completed, the ISDN line is
automatically disconnected. MX-2100 sets the priority levels for the data and
voice cards.
