list and is not available for use. If all modems are on the disabled list, incoming callers receive
a busy signal until the modems have been restored for service. When you re-enable the
quiesced modem slot card, a delay of up to 20 seconds can occur before the modems become
available for service.
Specify one of the following values:
•
Enable Slot—The default value. Enables any modems on the disabled list for the selected
slot card, making them available for service.
•
Dis Slot—All modems that are not active appear in a disabled modem list, indicating that
they are not available for use.
•
Dis Slot+Chan—All modems on the selected slot card are disabled, along with an equal
number of B channels. The B channels appear on a disabled-channel map. The MAX unit
polls all channels on the map with Out-Of-Service messages until the modems on the
associated slot card return to service.
To quiesce all the available modems on a slot card:
1
Open the Mod Config submenu from the Modem profile and select ModemSlot.
2
Press Enter, select
dis slot
and disable (quiesce) the slot card. Or, to disable the slot
card and the channel, press Enter again to select
dis slot+chan
.

digital-modem, that is, to disable a digital modem without disrupting existing connections.
Active calls are not torn down. If you specify a modem that is currently inactive, the modem is
added to the disabled list. If the modem has a call active, it is not added to the disabled list until
it drops the call. If all modems are on the disabled list, incoming callers receive a busy signal
until the modems have been restored for service. When you reenable the quiesced modem, a
delay of up to 20 seconds can occur before the modem becomes available for service.
Specify one of the following values:
•
Enable Modem—The default value. Enables any modems that were on the disabled list,
entering them on the enabled modem list and making them available for service.
•
Dis Modem—Places the modem on the disabled modem list, indicating that it is not
available for use. When the last active connection is dropped, the card becomes available
for maintenance.
