Configuration Parameters
for BRI Ports
preferred
Specifies a Boolean value that causes outbound calls to set a use preference for the
B channel when the port uses a point-to-multipoint circuit.
Set this parameter only if the port uses a point-to-multipoint circuit. If other devices
share the BRI line with the Brooktrout hardware, you must set this parameter to
TRUE to make the B channel setting preferred on outbound calls. If you set the
parameter to FALSE, making the B channel setting exclusive for an outbound call,
the port's point-to-multipoint circuit cannot operate. Set the parameter as follows:
FALSE = Sets the B channel to exclusive on outbound calls
TRUE = Sets the B channel to preferred on outbound calls
Default value: TRUE
presentation
Specifies a value that indicates the type of presentation of the calling party number
the port uses when placing an outbound call. Valid values are:
ALLOWED = Indicates that the port allows presentation of the calling party
number to the called party.
NUM_NOT_AVAIL = Indicates that the port does not have a calling party
number specified to present to the called party.
RESTRICTED = Indicates that the port restricts presentation of the calling
party number to specific called party numbers.
Note: You should set the parameter to NUM_NOT_AVAIL when connected to a
public network.
Default value: ALLOWED
redirect_as_calling_party
Specifies a Boolean value that selects an option to use the redirect number as the
calling party number reported to the application. Set the parameter as follows:
FALSE = Causes the system to use the original calling party number as the
number reported to the application.
TRUE = Causes the system to use the redirect number as the calling party
number reported to the application. Selecting this option removes any
association between the original calling party number and the call.
Default value: FALSE
reject_incomplete_did
Specifies the action to take when the number of DID digits received from the
incoming call is less than the number of digits specified for the max_did_digits field.
Set the parameter as follows:
FALSE = Sends an alerting or proceeding message to the network and reports
the call to the application even if the number of received DID digits is less than
the max_did_digits value. The system takes this action when the number of
digits collected remains incomplete after the did_timeout period or when it
receives a sending complete informational element (IE).
TRUE = Sends the network a reject message that causes the network to drop
the call. The application does not receive any notification of the call.
Default value: FALSE
screening
Specifies a value that indicates whether the port provides and validates the calling
party number passed to the called party. Valid values are:
NETWORK_PROVIDED Indicates that the network validates the calling party
