Configuring a nailed/MP+ connection

A nailed/MP+ connection is a nailed connection that can add switched channels for increased
bandwidth. The MAX unit dials switched channels when it receives an outbound packet for the
far end and cannot forward it across the nailed connection, either because those channels are
down or because they are being fully utilized.
If both the nailed and switched channels in a nailed/MP+ connection are down, the connection
does not reestablish itself until the nailed channels are brought back up or you dial the switched
channels.
The maximum number of channels for the nailed/MP+ connection is either the Max Ch Count
setting or the number of nailed channels in the specified group, whichever is greater. If a nailed
channel fails, the unit replaces that channel with a switched channel, even if the call is online
with more than the minimum number of channels.
Note: If you modify a nailed/MP+ Connection profile, most changes become active only after
the call is brought down and then back up. However, if you add a group number (for example,
changing Group=1, 2 to Group=1, 2, 5) and save the modified profile, the unit adds the
additional channels to the connection without having to bring it down and back up.

Note: On the far end of the connection, set the AnsOrig and FT1 Caller parameters for
answering only. Note that the DO Hangup command only works from the caller end of the
connection.
Specify the Nailed/MP+ call type, and the group number(s) of its nailed channels. For
example:
Call Type=Nailed/MPP
Group=1,2
Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
