Appendix A. Dial Plan Interface Configuration MAX INCOMING DS0S 44 Write Security: 3; Read Security: 5 This option will specify the maximum number of DS0s allowed for an incoming switched call to this endpoint. If the call is negotiated and the maximum DS0s value is not acceptable to the answering equipment, the call will be disconnected. Any value other than 1 requires a BONDING resource to inverse multiplex the multiple switched channels together.
Appendix B Smart Dial String Formats The Video Module accepts changes to Call Type and Channel Rate by using suffix commands appended to the end of the dial string. The following string format is used. Where #C changes the Call Type as follows: 3=56K Data 4=64K Data Where #R changes the Channel Rate (number of ISDN B channels) as follows: 1=1 B Channel (1x56k, 1x64k) 2=2 B Channel (2x56k, 2x64k) BONDING Mode 1 3=3 B Channel (3x56k, 3x64k) BONDING Mode 1 . . .
Appendix B. Smart Dial String Formats If no suffix is used, the call is placed using the values configured for the Video Module. For example, if the Dual Video Module is configured with DEFAULT CALL TYPE = 64k digital data, SOURCE ID = 0, DEFAULT MIN DS0S = (2, 3, 4, 5, or 6), and DEFAULT MAX DS0S = 6, the dial string 7082906055 is the same as 7082906055#4#6#0. If the Channel Rate suffix is used, the Call Type suffix is required. However, the Channel Rate is not required to make changes to the Call Type.
