SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 2 • Configuration concepts
In the case of PSTN CS interfaces (BRI, PRI, FXS, FXO interfaces), bindings are configured statically in the
port or circuit configuration. The binding is created bottom-up, that is from the port to the interface.
In the case of VoIP CS interfaces (H.323, SIP), bindings are configured statically in the CS interface configura-
tion. The binding is created from the interface to the gateway.
Bindings from ports to IP interfaces and from CS interfaces to ISDN ports are shown in figure 7 on page 36.
Profiles and Use commands
Profiles
Profiles provide configuration shortcuts. They contain specific settings that can be used in multiple contexts,
interfaces, or gateways. This concept allows to avoid repetitions of groups of configuration commands that are
the same for multiple elements in a configuration.
Profiles used in the IP and CS contexts are shown in figure 7 on page 36.

Use Commands

Use commands form the association between profiles and contexts, gateways, or interfaces. For example, when
a profile is used in a context, all the configuration settings in that profile become active within the context.
