Chapter 4 - MultiFRAD Software
enter in the phone directory database. This number prevents the mapping of the phone number to an
IP address of a remote MultiFRAD before you have entered all the digits. The range for the Maximum
Dial Digits is from 1 to 16 digits, and the default is 5 digits.
The Inter Digit Time option in the Dialing Options group defines (in milliseconds) the amount of time
that the MultiFRAD waits between digits before searching its Phone Directory Database for that
phone number. The range for the value of this option is 200 to 10,000 with a default of 2,000
milliseconds (i.e., two seconds), which is adequate for most applications.
Auto Call
The Auto Call option enables you to eliminate the dialing feature and as soon as you access the
channel, the MultiFRAD connects to the frame relay circuit you identified with your DLCI number. The
Auto Call group can be changed if a site is changed; e.g., a new site was added or a site was
removed from your calling network. If a new site had been added and you wanted channel 2 of your
local MultiFRAD to have a direct connection to this new site, you could enable the Auto Call option for
channel 2 and then add in the DLCI number and remote channel number. If a site is removed from
your calling network and you had Auto Call enabled, you can merely select the local channel and
disable the Auto Call option here on the Interface tab.
Voice/Fax (FR220/V2 only)
The Voice/Fax tab controls the voice coder, Fax settings, DTMF gain, and some miscellaneous
options.
The MultiFRAD supports numerous state-of-the art ITU (International Telecommunications Union)
voice coders. The Voice Coder drop-down menu enables you to select from a range of coders with
specific bandwidths. The higher the bps rate, the more bandwidth is used. The channel you are
calling has to be using the
same voice coder; otherwise, you will always get a busy signal.
The Fax group enables a fax machine to transmit and receive faxes through the MultiFRAD. If a fax
machine is connected to one of the voice/fax channels, the Max Baud Rate should be set to match
the baud rate of the fax machine (e.g., 9600 or 14400); refer to user documentation. The Fax Volume
setting controls the output level of the fax tones. These settings should be changed only under the
direction of Multi-Tech’s Technical Support personnel (see
Chapter 6 - Warranty, Service and Tech
Support ).
