Option Description
1. Disable Channel Takes the async or voice/fax channel (or range of channels) out of service. When this
selection is chosen, the following prompts will appear on the screen:
ENTER NODE/CHANNEL# (OR RANGE OF CHANNELS)(^X TO ABORT):
Enter the node ID, slash, channel (port) number or range of channels. Press <cr>. The
Switching Control Menu will reappear on the screen. To abort, press ^X.
Channel ranges should be in the form: starting channel, dash, ending channel.
Example: To disable channels B6 through B12, enter B6-B12 and press <cr>.
Note: Only an idle channel can be disabled. If a connected channel is
in the range of channels specified, the following error message
will appear on the screen:
NOT IDLE OR OOS
The switching software will wait until the channel disconnects
before taking it out of service. The only way to avoid waiting
and disable the connected channel is to use the forced-
disconnect option.
