Leased lines are communication lines that are dedicated to specific
participants. In the
Leased Lines dialog box, you select the
participants that will be assigned to this line. The number of ports
allocated to each participant determines the line rate to be used in
multiples of 64 Kbps, and it depends on the endpoint capabilities.
For example, if the participant's capabilities allow a line rate of 384
Kbps (6B), the participant will be assigned six (ports).
b. In the Participant Name box, enter the participant name.
c. In the First Port box, enter the sequential number of the first port
(channel) in the range of channels to be assigned to this participant.
d. In the Last Port box, enter the sequential number of the last port
(channel) in the range of ports (channels) to be assigned to this
participant.
For example, if the line rate to be assigned to this participant is
384Kbps, assign 6 ports. If this is the first participant you are
defining, you may define the range by indicating the first port as
number 1 and the last port as number 6. However, if this participant
is not the first participant to be defined, the first port number will
have to be the next available sequential number. For example, if the
last port defined for a participant is 16, the first port number to be
assigned to this participant is 17.
e. Click OK .
The participant’s name is added to the Leased Lines list.
f. Repeat steps a to f to define additional participants using this leased
line.
To modify a participant’s configuration:
• In the Leased Lines list, double-click the participant name.
The Leased Lines dialog box opens.
• Define the participant's parameters as described in steps 7.b to 7.f.
To delete a participant’s configuration:
• In the Leased Lines list, highlight the participant name, and then
click the Delete button.
The participant is removed from the Leased Lines list.
7. Select the Restricted check box if the endpoints support a line rate of 56
Kbps per channel, instead of 64 Kbps.
