3.1.16 Transfer Capability

In the case of ISDN, this parameter specifies controls the BC (Bearer
Capability) and optionally HLC (Higher Layer Capability). For MFC-R2
protocols, the transfer capability is used to provide the service category.

3.1.17 Inter Exchange Prefix Number

This parameter is an option to send an additional phone number before the
address (destination) phone number. The address phone number is selected
in the OptiCall™ application.

3.1.18 B-Channel Selection

This parameter defines whether the B-channel is used in exclusive mode. If a
call is initiated in exclusive mode, the calling party exclusively defines the B-
channel to be used for the call. Alternatively, the PSTN is assumed to specify
the B-channel to be used for the call (ISDN only). [AUDI01]
3.2 Using the OptiConf™ Application
The configuration parameters are setup with the help of the OptiConf™
application. You start OptiConf™ from the Start Menu of your Windows™
platform by selecting the menu entry Start|Programs|Opera|OptiConf. The
application will come up with the dialog shown in Figure 3.1. In this state,
OptiConf™ will display the currently active configuration parameter settings
for the E1/T1 interface. This configuration has already been downloaded to
the interface board and is thus available for measurements.
