CHAPTER 5. MANAGING TRUNKS AND SPANS 5-19
BETA DOCUMENT - PRELIMINARY & CONFIDENTIAL
n Description. A description of the span, typically including the main
phone number of the span.
n Number of channels. The number of trunks supplied by your
Dialogic BRI board. If you are using a BRI/80-SC board, select
8. If
you are using a BRI/160-SC board, select 16.
n Protocol. The protocol of your BRI span, as given to you by your
BRI supplier.
n Starting trunk number. The starting trunk number of the span. The
numbers of the trunks belonging to this span are displayed. If your
system also has analog trunks, the analog trunks must have the lower
trunk numbers, so if you have not added them yet, leave room for
them in your numbering of the span.
n Server Protocol Identifier Number (SPID). A unique number
assigned to each trunk in the BRI span. Enter the SPID numbers
supplied to you by your BRI supplier. SPID numbers are required for
North American BRI installations only. If your BRI board is the
Dialogic BRI/2VFD, you do not need to enter SPID numbers.
3. On the Tuning tab, optimize your ISDN settings as needed. See the next
section, “Optimizing your ISDN settings.”
4. On the Trunks tab, set the default values for the 24 trunks that will be
created in this span. You can then change these values for each trunk
individually. See “Entering trunk defaults for a span” on page 5-16.
5. Click
OK to add the span to your configuration.
Optimizing your ISDN settings ___________________________
When you are adding an ISDN trunk, you can use the Tuning tab to change ISDN
board parameters. Changes you make while a call is in progress on the board are
not reflected until the current call ends and a new call begins.
To set your ISDN parameters
1. Run the Dialogic Makecall Utility (DMU), supplied on the Strata CS
CD. For instructions, see Strata CS Installation & Maintenance
Manual. The DMU wizard steps you through the process of testing your
ISDN board, and generates a file in the Output subdirectory called
Outbound_MCB.txt.
