The Enhanced ISDN Master port is labelled within the Abilis CPX with the acronym "EIM" and it is provided with the parameters described in this section.

Here is an example on how to display the EIM port parameters. Shown values are only examples.

To activate any change made on the lowercase parameters, the system has to be started again, on the contrary for the uppercase parameters it is enough to submit the initialisation command INIT PO:.

The "Not Saved (SAVE CONF)" message is displayed every time the port configuration is modified but not saved with the SAVE CONF command.

The "Not Refreshed (INIT)" message is displayed every time the port configuration is modified but not refreshed with the INIT PO: command.

Detail of the EIM port parameters


CLK: Mode of clock source detection
ANYTE INT, ANYTE, LIST

The parameter allows the selection of the modality for detecting the clock signal source.

Value Meaning
INT Clock signal is internally generated at 4.096 Mhz
ANYTE The driver will use as clock sources the ports specified by the parameters P1: to P20:, the port configured in the parameter "P1:" will be he first one to be considered, then "P2:" and so on. The complete ports list is automatically compiled by the Abilis CPX during the Validation procedure, starting from the EBISDN and EPISDN ports configured as TE and actives when the procedure is executed. If no one of the ports in the list is considered to be a valid clock source, the driver will use the clock signal internally generated (4.096 Mhz)
LIST The driver will consider the list of ports configured in the parameters P1: to P20:, as it has manually configured by the User. The Validation procedure will check, during its execution, the validity of the configured values and it will, eventually, set to "NONE" the parameters P1: to P20:, if they do not match the required specifications. If no one of the ports in the list is considered to be a valid clock source, the driver will use the clock signal internally generated (4.096 Mhz)


frame: Maximum length of DATA frames on the B channel
2100 64 -2100 bytes

This parameter sets the maximum length (in bytes) of DATA frames on the B channel.


rxbuf: Number of receiving buffers
14 1..255

It sets the number of receiving buffers.


txbuf: Number of transmission buffers
1 1..255

It sets the number of transmission buffers.


SIGSET: Modality of signal generation
USERDEF USERDEF

It selects the modality of signal generation.
The value "USERDEF", standing for "defined by the User", allows the User to select, at will, the combination of tones and silences in the "Dialling", "Alerting", etc. signals by setting the proper parameters later on defined.


DIALT1: Length of the first tone in the "Dialling" signal
6985 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of the first tone in the "Dialling" signal.


DIALS1: Length of the first silence in the "Dialling" signal
0 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of the first silence in the "Dialling" signal.


DIALT2: Length of the second tone in the "Dialling" signal
6985 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of the second tone in the "Dialling" signal.


DIALS2: Length of the second silence in the "Dialling" signal
0 0 - 6985 ( milliseconds)

It sets the duration of the second silence in the "Dialling" signal.


RINGT1: Length of the first tone in the "Alerting" signal
1210 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of the first tone in the "Alerting" signal.


RINGS1: Length of the first silence in the "Alerting" signal
3080 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of the first silence in the "Alerting" signal.


RINGT2: Length of the second tone in the "Alerting" signal
1210 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of the second tone in the "Alerting" signal.


RINGS2: Length of the second silence in the "Alerting" signal
3080 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of the second silence in the "Alerting" signal.


BUSY: Length of tone and silence in the "Busy" signal
550 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of tone and silence in the "Busy" signal.


DISC: Length of tone and silence in the disconnection signal
275 0 - 6985 (milliseconds)

It sets the duration of tone and silence in the disconnection signal.


P1: - P20: EBISDN and/or EPISDN ports used as clock signal sources
NONE 0..999, NONE

List of EBISDN and/or EPISDN ports used as clock signal sources

The value "NONE" disables the parameter and it is displayed through the character "." (full stop).

They are only used if the parameter CLK: is set to "ANYTE" or "LIST" according to the above mentioned rules.
