Basic Configuration Tasks
Establishing WAN connectivity through Connection profiles
MAX 3000 Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
5-5
•
An IP address to which all incoming calls on this link will be directed, bypassing internal
routing and bridging tables (the IP Direct parameter).
•
Characteristics related to the MAX unit’s role when configured as an Ascend Tunnel
Management Protocol (ATMP) home agent (the ATMP Gateway, Max ATMP Tunnels,
and ATMP RIP parameters).
•
Characteristics related to the MAX unit’s participation in a Frame Relay network (the FR
Direct, FR DLCI, and FR Prof parameters).
Defining telco call preferences
The Telco Options subprofile contains parameters defining the telco line-related characteristics
of the connection, including the following:
•
Whether incoming, outgoing, or both types of calls are enabled for the connection (the
AnsOrig parameter).
•
Whether digital, analog, or both call types can be received (the NAS Port Type parameter).
•
Callback security management (the Callback, Exp Callback, and Callback Delay
parameters).
•
The PRI service to use when placing a call (the Call-by-Call parameter) and the transit
network dialing prefix to use for PRI calling (the Transit # parameter).
•
Assignments of channels for nailed connections (the Group parameter).
•
The connection type and bandwidth of connection allowed by the profile (the Call Type,
Data Svc, FT1 Caller, and Force 56 parameters).
•
Billing telephone number (the Bill # parameter).
•
Whether the connection can be used to dial out through one of the MAX unit’s digital
modems (the Dialout OK parameter).
Specifying accounting requirements
The Accounting subprofile specifies characteristics of the method used to record call-related
accounting, including an accounting server (the Acct Host and Acct Type parameters) and port
(the Acct Port parameter), and configuration of RADIUS or (the Acct-ID Base,
Acct Key, and Acct Timeout parameters).
Specifying Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) settings
The DHCP subprofile defines whether the MAX unit processes DHCP packets and acts as a
DHCP server (the Reply Enabled parameter) and how the unit assigns IP addresses to Network
Address Translator (NAT) clients.
