channel routes inbound calls and places outbound calls. For details, see "Configuring inbound
calls" on page 3-59 and "Configuring outbound calls" on page 3-69.
Configuring T1 lines
A MAX 6000 unit that supports T1 lines has two T1 slots, each of which supports two T1
lines. Configure a Line Config profile for each of the two slots. You can also configure
additional Line Config profiles, but only one can be active for a given slot at a given time. For
a MAX 3000 unit, only one Line Config profile can be active at a given time. In addition to a
few general parameters, a Line Config profile contains a subprofile for each line connected to
the slot. Each subprofile provides parameters for configuring the line's connection to the
Central Office switch. You can customize the settings for monitoring line quality and
supporting PBX connections. Other parameters apply to carrier-specific services. Also, you
can enable the MAXDAX feature, which routes incoming calls from inbound T1 or PRI lines
to specific outgoing channels on the same or different T1 (inband) or PRI lines. Each of the
two subprofiles also includes parameters for configuring individual channels within the line.
Setting the general parameters
To create a new T1-line configuration, open the Net/T1 > Line Config menu and display an
available profile:
Net/T1
Line Config
Set the Name parameter to assign a descriptive name to the configuration. (You can configure
multiple profiles for the same slot and activate a profile when it is needed. To activate a profile,
see "Activating a profile" on page 2-7.)
You can set 1st Line and 2nd Line to Trunk (indicating a standard T1 interface with signaling
information), Quiesced, or Disabled. For the second line connected to a MAX 6000 E1 slot,
you can also specify D&I (Drop-and-Insert) service. (A MAX 3000 unit has no D&I setting for
the 2nd Line parameter. Instead, line 3 can be used for D&I only.) Drop-and-Insert on the
second line specifies that some of the first line's channels transparently move to the second
line. A device such as a PBX connected to the second line is not aware that the channels
actually pass through the MAX unit. For more information about each parameter, see the MAX
Reference.
