•
Rate toggles the data rate of the simulated channels between 56 Kbps and 64 Kbps.
When the loopback screen shows 56K or 64K channels looped back, think of the channels as
simulated. The Call Status window displays the loopback serial data rate. You can calculate the
data speed by multiplying the number of simulated channels by the data rate. Changes you
make take effect immediately, and remain in effect until you end the local loopback test.
Terminate the test by pressing the Left Arrow key.
When you end the test, all control signals revert to the state they were in when the test began.
Note:
Booting the MAX restores all queisced lines, slots, and ports to service.

Ans N(N=1-4)
Specifies a phone number to be used for call-routing purposes. In a Modem Config profile, the
answer number indicates that calls received on that number should be routed to an available
digital modem in any digital modem slot card.
Specify the phone number for each Ans N# parameter. Enter up to 24 characters, which may
include a subaddress. You must limit your specification to these characters:

ModemSlot
Set the ModemSlot parameter to quiesce a digital-modem slot card, that is, disable a
digital-modem slot card in the MAX unit without disrupting existing connections. Active calls
are not torn down. When an active call is dropped, that modem is added to the disabled modem
