Chapter 3: Configuration The following chapter will provide you with instructions on configuring the Extender 7000 via the Manage- ment Interface (MI). The units are programmed at the factory with “default” settings providing basic parameters to accommodate most network environments.
This section describes configuring the EXTender 7000 for a basic Serial RVP installation using the T1/PRI Ports on the MCK T1/PRI card. Note: If you want to add Local Dialing capability to this configuration, see the EXTender 7000 User’s Guide for complete setup instructions. Leased Line T1 and Point-to-Point T1 configurations are identical.
1. Set the Clock Source parameter to T1PRI_Port1. • Set to Port 1 if the network is providing timing, or Port 2 to use the EXTender 7000 for the timing source. Note: Point-to -Point (RVP_Direct) T1’s DO NOT provide timing.
Assigning DS0 channels: 1. Use the arrow keys to access the DS0_Default Channel Setup menu, as shown below: MI Path Configuration->WAN->T1/PRI_Port(WAN3)->T1/PRI_Port_1-> Channel Setup- >DS0_Default 2. Set the Enable parameter to Yes. 3. Set Direction to Both. 4. Enter 1 into the Services parameter. This parameter enables you to select the services you wish to use to connect to the Central Office (CO).
The following pages provide step by step instructions for configuring a basic Serial RVP installation using the WAN ports of the EXTender 7000. To configure the system, you will set various parameters in the Man- agement Interface (MI). For more information please refer to the EXTender 7000 User’s Guide.
The EXTender utilizes a direct serial connection to provide remote user connectivity. This means that the WAN port is plugged directly into a network device. The WAN port (WAN 1 or WAN 2) that is used as the main or “primary” port must be identified on the RVP Direct menu. 1.
(CSU/DSU). Choose the interface signaling type used to communicate with the network device. The interface type for the EXTender 7000 is DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). Figure 3-8: Enabling WAN 1 or 2 Page 31...

Press the → key to the Sync Rate parameter and type in the correct Sync rate. This parameter sets the synchronous data transfer speed of the WAN port and must match the network device speed.
3. Press the ↓ key to the Interface Type parameter, which has the following values: Value The WAN port on the EXTender 7000 connects to a DTE device. The WAN port on the EXTender 7000 PBXgateway II connects to a DCE device. Notes: DTE is typically used to connect to a third party CSU/DSU for RVP_Direct (Serial RVP) installations.
Prerequisites for Configuration • The PBXgateway II (at the corporate site) and the EXTender 7000 (at the branch office) must be physi- cally installed properly and the network link between both devices must be installed and provisioned to meet the “Network Requirements” defined in this document.
3. Set the Extender Bandwidth parameter to the total bandwidth that will be required by the extended telephones. Bandwidth required by an RVP Direct over PRI system is determined by the type of PBX used, the com-pression algorithm, and number of extended phones that will need to be off-hook at the same time.
2. Set the Clock Source parameter to T1PRI_Port1. 3. Set the Enabled parameter to Yes. 4. Set to Port 1 if the network is providing timing, or Port 2 to use the EXTender 7000 for the timing source. Note: Point-to -Point T1’s DO NOT provide timing.
The following menu appears: Figure 3-16: Shared PRI T1/PRI Service Parameters 2. Enter a single DN number in the DN 1 parameter. This is the DID number of the EXTender 7000. This value is provided by the Telco company (CO).
RVP Over IP Configuration The following pages provide step-by-step instructions for configuring a basic RVP_over_IP installation using the LAN port on the EXTender 7000. To configure the system, you will set various parameters in the Man- agement Interface (MI). Note: This configuration does not support Local Dialing. To expand this configuration to support Local Dial- ing, see “Local Dialing Configurations on page’...
Local Dialing • To support Local Dialing, the EXTender 7000 unit uses UDP ports 16384 to 16640. The port numbers start at 16384 and increment by 1 to the total number of ports used. For example, if 3 telephones need to make local calls, then ports 16384, 16385, and 16386 would need to be opened.

MI Path Configuration->Connect->Frame Relay 7. Set the Interface parameter to T1/PRI_Port 1 to identify the Frame Relay interface on the EXTender 7000. Note, we are limited to using only T1 Port 1 for Frame Relay. Note: There can only be one network interface when using frame relay, meaning there is no Primary or Secondary interface.
9. Set the following parameters specified by your service provider. If not, leave these values at the default setting: Field Full Status Polling Cycles - the number of status inquiries between n391 n392 Monitored Events Count - the number of status messages that are n393 tracked to determine if more than n392 errors have been detected.
1. Set the Clock Source parameter to T1PRI_Port1. • Set to Port 1 if the network is providing timing, or Port 2 to use the EXTender 7000 for the timing source. Note: Point-to -Point (RVP_Direct) T1’s DO NOT provide timing.
You may set some or all of the 24 channels to use Frame Relay. Note though, that only setting the default will cause all channels to be used for Frame Relay. If any DS0 channels have been configured for Add/Drop (using RVPoIP for example), they will be ignored and the Add/Drop configured PVCs will be used instead.
5. (All channels in use) If all 24 channels are used, set the default menu to Frame Relay and set all of the individual DS0 channel menus to use <default>. Figure 3-33: Frame Relay - All Channels in Use 6. (Less than 24 channels) If less than 24 channels are being used assign a subset of DS0 channels by either: •...

The following chapter will provide you with information and instruction on configuring applications such as Add/Drop, 2:1 Configuration and Local Dialing on your EXTender 7000. For more detailed information on the applications contained within this chapter please see the EXTender 7000 User’s Guide and the PBXgateway II System Administrator’s Guide.
Add/Drop Application You can use one of the EXTender 7000 WAN ports as an Add/Drop port, which can send traffic to another network device. Using the MI, specific DS0 channels of the T1/PRI Port_1 can be mapped to the Add/Drop port. This allows traffic on those channels to remain unchanged while they are passed through the T1/PRI card to another device on the network.
1. Set the Clock Source parameter to T1PRI_Port1. • Set to Port 1 if the network is providing timing, or Port 2 to use the EXTender 7000 for the timing source. Note: Point-to -Point (RVP_Direct) T1’s DO NOT provide timing.
The following menu appears: Figure 3-4: T1/PRI Port (WAN3) Parameters 3. Set the Enabled parameter to Yes. 4. Set the Mode parameter to T1. 5. Ignore the following parameters, as they do not apply to Leased T1 configurations: Node Type, Switch Type, and Dialback DN.

Central Office (CO) to provide Local Dialing. Toll Bypass enables remote users in one city (City A) to call standard telephones in a different city (City C or B) using the dial tone of the EXTender 7000 that is in the local calling area.
2:1 Configuration - Computing the Required Bandwidth In this configuration, the bandwidth in the system must be shared by both EXTender 7000 units. You can still use the MCK Bandwidth Calculator to compute the bandwidths required to connect the extended phones to connect and to support Local Dialing.
Use the formula below to compute the bandwidth for each EXTender 7000: Bandwidth for EXTender 7000 number 1 = Phone Bandwidth (from Bandwidth Calcula- tor) - Bandwidth for EXTender 7000 number 2. EXTender Bandwidth Requirements Use the MCK Bandwidth Calculator to compute the Extender Bandwidth for both remote units.
PBX Features" shared by BOTH remote units. Example: For example, if the possible number of de-Hairpinned calls is 6, the first EXTender 7000 could allow 4 de- Hairpinned calls, while the second EXTender 7000 could allow only 2 de-Hairpinned calls.
This configuration also uses Voice Hairpinning to maintain local voice quality and to avoid long distance charges. When Voice Hairpinning is being utilized the voice path is local to the EXTender 7000 and only sig- nalling is sent over the IP network to the PBX (Toll Bypass). When a call is de-hairpinned it is routed in such a manner that the voice and signalling data are both routed to the PBXgateway II.
3. Enter a digit in the Local Access Code. This parameter is a unique prefix that will be attached to the dial string. This parameter tells the PBXgateway II which EXTender 7000 the call is coming from. You will need to dial the Local Access Code and the Trunk Access Code when making a local call.
MI Path Configuration->WAN->T1/PRI_Port(WAN3)->T1/PRI_Port_1-> Channel Setup->DS0_Default 9. Set the Enabled parameter to Yes. 10. Set the Direction parameter to indicate which direction data will travel. The value Both means the chan- nel will handle both inbound and outbound traffic. 11. Enter a two digit integer into the Services parameter. This parameter enables you to select the services you wish to use to connect to the Central Office (CO).
