The Connection profile
Connection profiles define specific connections for individual users. Whereas the Answer
profile specifies parameters for the initial negotiation of an incoming call, a Connection profile
specifies parameters that support authentication and detailed aspects of an individual
connection. Unlike the Answer profile, a Connection profile applies to both incoming and
outgoing calls.
Note: Settings in a Connection profile always override similar settings in the Answer profile.
Located in the Ethernet > Connections menu, Connection profiles include general parameters
and parameters that are grouped into subprofiles for various options.
General Parameters
General parameters in a Connection profile include basic setup parameters, telephone-number
parameters, and routing parameters. Following are the Ethernet > Connections > Connection
profile parameters that define the name of the connection, whether a profile or route is active,
the encapsulation protocol for the line, and a value switch needs to properly interpret the
telephone number dialed.
Basic setup parameters
Following are the basic setup parameters in a Connection profile:
Parameter Specifies
Station Name of the far-end device. If the connection uses Combinet
encapsulation, the MAC address of the far-end Combinet bridge is
used as the name.
Active Activate/deactivate the profile. Activation makes it available for use.
A dash appears before each deactivated profile.
Encaps The encapsulation method to use when exchanging data with a remote
network. Both sides of the link must use the same encapsulation for
the connection to be established. Note: The encapsulation type must be
enabled in the Answer profile.
PRI # Type TypeOfNumber field in the called party’s information element. PRI #
Type is used for outbound calls made by the MAX unit on PRI lines so
that the switch can properly interpret the telephone number dialed.
Ask your PRI provider for details.
