It is recommended to reboot (ATZ) after any conguration changes.
SPID assignments
Some ISDN switches, or provider implementations of switches, require Service Provider Identiers (SPID).
You need to know the type required for your reference conguration.
You can use any SPID numbering scheme that matches your requirement. We support three types of SPID
numbering (Table 6). Whenever you change the SPID, reboot the simulator and preferably the TE device.

Upgrading Firmware
Virtual Consoles will periodically publish rmware and software upgrades.
Visit www.vconsole.com for latest versions. When you download new rmware, check if there is a newer
version of ISDN Manager and upgrade that as well.

DEV.CFG Device default conguration le
To load new rmware with the XLOAD program, connect a COM port of a PC to the console port of the
simulator. The XLOAD program must have exclusive use of the COM port; no other application may use it
while the upgrade program is running.
Example:
XLOAD.EXE P2US.XMD /Com:1 /Cfg:DEV.CFG
at the Windows DOS command prompt. In this example, the Virtual Console device is connected to COM1
port and loads the default settings from the DEV.CFG le.
