Configuring local BRI-to-BRI calls
To enable trunk groups:
1 Open System > Sys Config and set Use Trunk Grps to Yes to enable trunk groups
systemwide.
2 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
3 Open the Host/BRI > Line Config > Line Config profile > Line N subprofile for the line
you are configuring, and set the Dial Plan parameter to Trunk Grp to specify the use of
trunk groups.
4 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
If the profile you have configured is not the active profile, activate it as described in
“Activating a profile” on page 2-7.
Example of configuring BRI-to-BRI calls
With the configuration in this example, the terminating equipment on one Host/BRI line can
connect to the terminating equipment connected to port 5 on the Host/BRI card installed in slot
4. To make the connection, the caller dials 345.
The first digit, called the dialing prefix, is 3. The second digit, 4, represents expansion slot 4,
and the third digit, 5, represents the device connected to port 5 on that card.
The dialing prefix of 3 is a trunk group number indicating to the MAX that the next two digits
represent a specific port on a specific slot card.

Configuring IDSL connections
The ISDN Digital Subscriber Line (IDSL) card provides support for up to eight IDSL BRI
lines. In the Main Edit Menu, the menu item for an IDSL card appears as BRI/LT (Basic Rate
Interface/Line Terminator). To configure the IDSL connections, open a BRI/LT > Line Config
profile. Before you start configuring individual connections, you can set the Name parameter
to specify a name for the profile. You can configure multiple profiles, although only one
profile can be active. Typically, you should configure only one profile. If you do configure
multiple profiles, however, you should give each a descriptive name. Leaving the Name field
blank does not affect the functionality of any IDSL lines.
