German 1TR6 switch type, you can access ISDN call charges in the Ascend Enterprise MIB
through SNMP management utilities.
Configuring Host/BRI lines
The Host/BRI module provides up to eight local ISDN BRI lines. A line terminating one of
these local ISDN BRI lines might be a MAX unit (or any BRI device) on its own local Ethernet
segment, or a Desktop video device with its own BRI line and built-in terminal adapter. When
a MAX unit is connected to a Host/BRI line, it appears to be an AT&T switch.
Terminal Equipment devices on Host/BRI lines can call each other, making local
net-to-Net/BRI calls. These local calls never go out to the WAN. They make use of the BRI
bandwidth internally. They can also send and receive calls from the WAN. To the actual WAN
switch, the MAX unit appears as the call's end point. Routing to the Host/BRI line is handled
internally.
Note: TAOS supports the European ISDN protocol for the eight-port Host/BRI card on MAX
units that are configured as Network Terminating (NT) devices (see ISDN TE/NT Mode
parameter in the MAX Reference). You can select this carrier switch type by setting the Switch
Type parameter to NET3.
To begin configuring Host/BRI lines, open a Host/BRI > Line Config profile and set the
following parameters:
Parameter
Name
Switch Type
BRI Analog
Encode
Then set the following parameters in each Line N subprofile:
Parameter
Enabled
Dial Plan
Ans N#
For detailed information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Specifies
Descriptive name for the profile. You can configure several profiles in a
Host/BRI sot and activate a profile when it is needed. (This parameter is
optional. Functionality is not affected if you do not enter a value.)
Type of switch (carrier-specific) that provides the ISDN service for the
MAX.
Support for user-selectable analog encoding for the BRI interface. If you
are going to receive modem calls, you can set this parameter to specify
the encoding type.
Specifies
Availability of the ISDN BRI line. If you set the Enabled parameter to
No, the line is not available for use.
Whether the module uses trunk groups or the extended dial plan to send
and receive calls. (For details about dial plans, see "Routing outbound
calls" on page 3-68.)
Telephone number for call routing.This number routes incoming WAN
calls to the local BRI lines connecting to the Host/BRI card. (For details,
see "Routing outbound calls" on page 3-68.)
