Section 6 - Profiles
6.1
Introduction
The DRL2E 'virtual receiver' will load unique 'profiles' in
order to effectively communicate with control panels.
A profile is a set of pre-programmed line card options
unique for a particular DNIS number. The 'DNIS' will
point to a particular profile, which will then be loaded
into the line card before the first handshake is sent. It
is essential that the correct option be programmed for
a profile in order to correctly communicate with the
control panel. Each 'virtual receiver' can have a maxi-
mum of 64 profiles. To change the options for a par-
ticular profile, the MLR2E Console software is
provided. This software will allow the user/operator to
edit the profiles.
NOTE:
DNIS (Dialled Number Identification Ser-
vice). This number represents the dialled number,
or the number being called. Caller ID: This number
identifies the source of a call. Contact your pro-
vider to determine which service is available.
DNIS or Caller ID can be used for profile selection.

Figure 8, Call Processing Flowchart
Each profile is made up of Static Options and Dynamic
Options. The static options are the same for all pro-
files, but the dynamic options can be programmed
specifically per hunt groups, panel type, etc.
By receiving the DNIS or Caller ID, the appropriate
profile can be selected through a look-up table
"stored" on the line card.
Profile 0 is the default. When no Caller ID or DNIS is
received, or when the received number does not point
to a profile, the default will be used.
Profiles are used to reduce on-line time, and for spe-
cific customers or panel/format types, one can have a
profile with certain handshakes sent first. Also, some
formats require certain options, and this can be pre-
defined as well.
Profiles allow for a more customized system. Rather
than having a line card (or a receiver itself) devoted to
certain customers, the MLR2E can "handle" any format
at any time through the use of profiles. Each line card
holds its own look-up table that can be shared
through line pools, or shared within the entire receiver.
Two types of tables are available, but only one type can
be chosen. The first type, which consists of 10 000
entries, is used strictly with DNIS of up to 5-digits.
Table type 1:

The second type is used if Caller ID is received, and
can consist of up to 10,000 entries, with up to 10 dig-
its.
