For modem pool configuration examples, see the section “Physical Partitioning with Dial-In and
Dial-Out Scenario” later in this chapter.
Check the following if you are having trouble operating your modem:
• Make sure you have not configured the same DNIS for multiple pools.
• Make sure you have not placed the same modem in multiple pools.
Note Modem pools that use MICA or Microcom modems support incoming analog calls over ISDN PRI.
However, only MICA modems support modem pooling for T1 and E1 configurations with CAS.
Configuring Physical Partitioning
You can either physically partition or virtually partition your modems to enable different dial-in and
dial-out services. This section provides information about the following optional tasks:
• Creating a Physical Partition, page 85
• Physical Partitioning with Dial-In and Dial-Out Scenario, page 87
Physical partitioning uses one access server to function as multiple access servers loaded with different
types of modem services (for example, V.34 modems, fax-capable modems, and point-of-sale (POS)
modems). Each modem service is part of one physical modem pool and is assigned a unique DNIS
number. (See Figure 19.)
active conn Number of simultaneous active connections for the specified modem
pool or called party DNIS number.
no free modems in pool Number of times incoming calls were rejected because there were no
more free modems in the pool to accept the call.
called_party_number Specified called party DNIS number. This is the number that the
remote clients use to dial in to the access server. You can have more
than one DNIS number per modem pool. To set the DNIS number,
refer to the description for the called-number command.
max conn allowed Maximum number of modems that a called party DNIS number can
use, which is an overflow protection measure. To set this feature,
refer to the description for the called-number command.
max-conn exceeded Number of times an incoming call using this called party DNIS
number was rejected because the max-conn number parameter
specified by the called-number command was exceeded.
