Quickstart
Implementing a basic configuration
Configure your specified signaling mode
If you have selected ISDN_NFAS, enter the NFAS ID for your line. If you have selected
Inband, select the type of robbed bit control for the Rob Ctl parameter. The selections are:
N/A (appropriate for Sig Mode=ISDN)
Wink-Start
Idle-Start
Inc-W-200
Inc-W-400
Loop-Start
If you selected ISDN, select the type of WAN switch used at the line’s point-of-presence. The
selections are:
N/A (appropriate for Sig Mode=Inband)
AT&T
NTI
NI-2
GloBanD
Japan
Continue specifying line parameters
Once you have configured the signaling mask:
1 Select the type of framing this line uses (D4 or ESF).
2 Set the encoding used on this line. The selections are:
– None (identical to AMI, but without density enforcement)
–AMI
–B8ZS
3Set the Facility Data Link (FDL) used on this line. The selections are:
– N/A (appropriate for Framing Mode=D4)
–None
–AT&T
– ANSI

4Specify the cable distance between the MAX and the WAN interface equipment.
If the MAX has an internal CSU, select the N/A settings. Otherwise, select the correct
cable distance in feet between MAX and the CSU or other network (WAN) interface unit
to which it is connected. The default is 1–133.
5 Specify the amount of attenuation to add to the line’s network interface.
If the MAX does not have an internal CSU, select the N/A settings. Otherwise, select the
Buildout value to provide the proper line attenuation. The default is 0dB.
6 If you cannot accept the default channel–type setting of switched for every channel on
the line, set the Ch N parameter as required.
– Switched (the default)
– Nailed (dedicated)
