4-56 MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Configuring Individual WAN Connections
Configuring MP, MP+ and BACP connections
The maximum number of channels for the nailed/MP+ connection is either the Max Ch Count
setting or the number of nailed channels in the specified group, whichever is greater. If a nailed
channel fails, the unit replaces that channel with a switched channel, even if the call is online
with more than the minimum number of channels.
Note: If you modify a nailed/MP+ Connection profile, most changes become active only after
the call is brought down and then back up. However, if you add a group number (for example,
changing Group=1, 2 to Group=1, 2, 5) and save the modified profile, the unit adds the
additional channels to the connection without having to bring it down and back up.
Configuring a Connection profile
To configure a nailed/MP+ connection:
1 Configure an MP+ connection, as described in the preceding section.
2 Open the Telco Options subprofile of the Connection profile.
3 Specify that the MAX unit is the designated caller for the switched part of the connection.

AnsOrig=Call Only
FT1 Caller=Yes
Note: On the far end of the connection, set the AnsOrig and FT1 Caller parameters for
answering only. Note that the DO Hangup command only works from the caller end of the
connection.
4 Specify the Nailed/MP+ call type, and the group number(s) of its nailed channels. For
example:
Call Type=Nailed/MPP
Group=1,2
5 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
Settings in a RADIUS profile
The following RADIUS attribute-value pairs are relevant to nailed connections:
Attribute Value
Ascend-Dial-Number
(227)
Number to dial out for this connection.
Ascend-Backup (176)
Name of a profile to use if the nailed connection goes down.
Ascend-Call-Type (177) Type of nailed call. Set to Nailed (1) for nailed connections.
Ascend-Group (178) Group numbers of the dedicated channels for the connection. You
can specify multiple groups by separating the numbers with
commas, in which case the bandwidth of the connection is an
aggregate of all specified groups. Nailed bandwidth cannot be
shared by other connections.
