CALLED #
The Called Number is the full telephone number of the device you are calling. Up to 25
numeric characters are allowed, although most calls use only ten digits. This parameter can be
overridden on a call-by-call basis when RS-366 or V.25bis dialing is used with the 8213 HSU
Card.
CALLED # TYPE
The Called Number Type identifies the type of network used to reach the called phone number.
The options are
natnl
for domestic calls,
intnl
for international calls,
sbscr
for Virtual Private
Network (VPN) calls, and
unkwn
(default). Your carrier will provide more detail about this
option.
CALLED # PLAN
The Called Number Plan refers to the type of numbering plan used to reach the device you are
calling. The options are
unkwn, isdn, phone
and
privt
. Your carrier will provide more detail
about this option.
CHANNEL RATE
The Channel Rate selection specifies the bandwidth to be used by the call. Different carriers
support different rates, so it is important to check with your carrier before setting rates greater
than 64 kbps. When using any Channel Rate other than
MRate
, the system knows the size of
the bandwidth required and will automatically select the rate multiplier. If
MRate
is selected,
the user must enter the rate multiplier.
The “
u
” and “
r
” in these selections identify unrestricted and restricted data calls. An
unrestricted
call means that you can send any type of data information in the circuit. A
restricted
call means that you must maintain the ones-density-integrity of the T1 data stream.
Note:
Channel Rates of
1536r
and
1536u
require the use of NFAS.
RATE MULTIPLIER
The Rate Multiplier setting depends on the Channel Rate chosen in the previous paragraph. If
the Channel Rate is set to
MRate
, the Rate Multiplier can be from
2
to
30
. If an incorrect rate
multiplier is input, the carrier equipment will reject the call.
