Chapter 4 - MultiFRAD Software
The Max Dial Digits field in the Dialing Options group indicates the longest phone number you can
enter in the phone directory database. The value shown in this field is the maximum number of digits
permitted in any phone number entered into the database. It does not represent an actual phone
number. The range for the Maximum Dial Digits is 1 to 16 digits, and the default is 5 digits. As soon
as you have entered the specified number of digits (when making a call), the MultiFRAD searches
the Phone Directory Database for a DLCI that matches the phone number you entered.
The Inter Digit Time option in the Dialing Options group defines (in milliseconds) the amount of time
that the MultiFRAD waits between digits before searching its Phone Directory Database for that
phone number. The range for the value of this option is 200 to 10,000 with a default of 2,000
milliseconds (i.e., two seconds), which is adequate for most applications.
Auto Call
The Auto Call option enables you to eliminate the dialing feature and as soon as you access the
channel, the MultiFRAD connects to the frame relay circuit you identified with your DLCI number. The
Auto Call group can be changed if a site is changed; e.g., a new site was added or a site was
removed from your calling network. If a new site had been added and you wanted channel 2 of your
local MultiFRAD to have a direct connection to this new site, you could enable the Auto Call option for
channel 2 and then add in the DLCI number and remote channel number. If a site is removed from
your calling network and you had Auto Call enabled, you can merely select the local channel and
disable the Auto Call option here on the Interface tab.
