Page 211 TANDBERG 8000 MXP 5.8.1.1 ISDN-BRI Settings To make sure your system will work properly using ISDN-BRI, make the following settings: 1. Set ISDN switch type 2. Enter ISDN line numbers (+ SPIDs if required) 3. Disable unused lines Some software versions do not support 6 ISDN lines, therefore some of the Line Setup entries may be grayed out.
Page 212 General Use Advanced ISDN Settings Sub address Using a sub address enables you to connect up to eight ISDN terminals to the same ISDN telephone number and line. The terminals are addressed by using different sub addresses. To call a terminal with a sub address, separate the ISDN telephone number and the sub address with a ‘*’.
Page 213 TANDBERG 8000 MXP 5.8.1.2 ISDN-PRI Settings To make sure your system will work properly using ISDN-PRI, configure the following settings: 1. Set PRI switch type 2. Enter PRI line number Note that the T1 format is predefined to ESF and the line code is B8ZS. This is not configurable.
Page 214 General Use Example: Max Channels may be used for PRIs that are provisioned for a lower number of channels. High Channel, Low Channel and Search may be used for PRIs provisioned with specific requirements for B-channel usage. In the example above, the system will start searching for available B-channels at channel 20, since Search is set to High and High Channel is set to 20.
Page 215 TANDBERG 8000 MXP Example: AT&T offers several digital switched services. These include SDN with service code 1 and ACCUNET with service code 6. Below is a list of common service profiles. As these profiles may change, contact your service provider to get the correct profile.
Page 216 General Use 5.8.1.3 Leased E1/T1 Settings Call Control Auto When Auto is selected, the system will automatically initiate a connection as soon as it detects that the far end tries to make a call. This mode is also commonly known as "data triggered" mode, because the existence of certain data patterns on the line triggers a connection.
Page 217: External Network Settings
TANDBERG 8000 MXP 5.8.1.4 External Network Settings Before using the system together with external network equipment, you must specify the network parameters on this page. The system has support for up to 2 Mbps (depending on the Bandwidth key loaded) using the External Network (RS449/V.35/X.21) interface. Note that the physical interface on External Networks is one non-standard 26 pin connector.
Page 218 General Use Network clocking The network clock setting specifies the number of physical external clock signals. RS449/V35 Use RS449/V35 Compatible when the external equipment provides two Compatible clock signals, one for transmit and one for receive. The difference between RS449 and V35 is only the cable. Use X21 Compatible when the external equipment provides a common Compatible clock signal for both transmits and receive.
