Specifying host ports' slot and port numbers in WAN channel
configurations
A MAX unit checks for slot and port number specifications. If the unit finds a matching slot
number, it uses it to route the call. (If the unit also finds a port number, it routes to that specific
port on the slot number.) If not, the unit goes on to the next comparison.
In the configuration of WAN lines, you can assign one or more channels to a slot card. In the
case of an AIM slot card, you can assign channels to a port on the card. This channel
configuration affects both inbound call routing and the placement of calls. In effect, the
configuration reserves the channel for calls to and from the specified slot or port.
Configure slot and port routing only when answer number and ISDN subaddress routing are
not specified. Following are the related parameters (shown with sample settings):
Net/T1
Line Config
Net/E1
Line Config
Net/BRI
Line Config
When a MAX unit receives an inbound call and no subaddress is in use or no matching answer
number is found, it evaluates the slot and port specifications and routes the call to the specified
destination. For example, for the MAX 6000 shown in Figure 3-1 on page 3-2:

Note: When a unit has more than one digital modem slot card installed, the cards and
modems form a pool, and any modem can answer a call routed to any digital modem slot.

0 (zero, the default) specifies that this parameter is not used to route incoming calls.
1 and 2 are invalid settings, because they represent the built-in slots for T1 or E1 lines.
3–8 represent expansion slots. When looking at the back panel of the unit, slot 3 is the
bottom slot in the left bank of slots, followed by 4 and 5 in ascending order. Slot 6 is the
bottom right slot, followed by 7 and 8 in ascending order.
9 represents the LAN. The unit routes calls to the bridge/router module.
