22.6.2 Working with DMS-100 Switches
The DMS-100 switch requires the following NFAS Interface ID definitions:
InterfaceID #0 for the Primary trunk
InterfaceID #1 for the Backup trunk
InterfaceID #2 for a 24 B-channel T1 trunk
InterfaceID #3 for a 24 B-channel T1 trunk, and so on for subsequent T1 trunks
For example, if four T1 trunks on a device are configured as a single NFAS group with
Primary and Backup T1 trunks that is used with a DMS-100 switch, the following
parameters should be used:
NFASGroupNumber_0 = 1
NFASGroupNumber_1 = 1
NFASGroupNumber_2 = 1
NFASGroupNumber_3 = 1
DchConfig_0 = 0 ;Primary T1 trunk
DchConfig_1 = 1 ;Backup T1 trunk
DchConfig_2 = 2 ;B-Channel NFAS trunk
DchConfig_3 = 2 ;B-channel NFAS trunk
If there is no NFAS Backup trunk, the following configuration should be used:
ISDNNFASInterfaceID_0 = 0
ISDNNFASInterfaceID_1 = 2
ISDNNFASInterfaceID_2 = 3
ISDNNFASInterfaceID_3 = 4
ISDNIBehavior = 512 ;The parameter should be added because of
;ISDNNFASInterfaceID coniguration above
NFASGroupNumber_0 = 1
NFASGroupNumber_1 = 1
NFASGroupNumber_2 = 1
NFASGroupNumber_3 = 1
DchConfig_0 = 0 ;Primary T1 trunk
DchConfig_1 = 2 ;B-Channel NFAS trunk
DchConfig_2 = 2 ;B-Channel NFAS trunk
DchConfig_3 = 2 ;B-channel NFAS trunk
22.6.3 Creating an NFAS-Related Trunk Configuration
The procedures for creating and deleting an NFAS group must be performed in the correct
order, as described below.
To create an NFAS Group:
1. If there’s a backup (‘secondary’) trunk for this group, it must be configured first.
2. Configure the primary trunk before configuring any NFAS (‘slave’) trunk.
3. Configure NFAS (‘slave’) trunks.
To stop / delete an NFAS Group:
1. Stop or delete (by setting ProtocolType to 0, i.e., 'None') all NFAS (‘slave’) trunks.
2. Stop or delete (by setting ProtocolType to 0, i.e., 'None') the backup trunk if a backup
trunk exists.
3. Stop or delete (by setting ProtocolType to 0, i.e., 'None') the primary trunk.
