Configuration of the Q931 ports

The Q931Basic Rate port is labelled, within the Abilis CPX, by the acronym "Q931" and it is provided with the parameters described in this chapter.

The following example shows how to display parameters of two Q931 ports: the first one for multi-point line, the second one for a point to point line. Shown values are the default ones.

To activate changes made on the parameters displayed by low case characters, it is needed to restart the system; on the contrary for activating changes made on "high case" parameters it is enough to execute the initialisation command INIT PO:.

Configuration of the EBQ931 ports

The Q931 Basic Rate ports for the EBIB board are labelled, within the Abilis CPX, by the acronym "EBQ931" and they are provided with the parameters described in this chapter.

The following example shows how to display parameters of two Q931 ports: the first one is a "NT" (multi point line) port type, the second a "TE" (point to point line). Shown values are the default ones.

Detail of the level 3 ISDN ports parameters (Q931 - EBQ931 - EPQ931)


LOWPO: Identifier of the Abilis CPX lower level port
NONE 1 - 999, NONE

It sets the lower level port; it can only be an LAPD/EBLAPD/EPLAPD port type.

The value "NONE" isolates the Q931/EBQ931/EPQ931 port from the lower level ports.


TYPE: Port type
USER USER, NETWORK

This parameter sets how the port behaves when a connection is going to be open.

The port connected to the network is defined NETWORK port; the one connected to the user equipment USER port.


LINE: Line type (Only in Q931 and EBQ931 ports)
MP MP, PP

It sets the line type: "MP" stands for multi-point, while "PP" point to point.

This parameter is related with the same eventual parameter of the lower level LAPD/EBLAPD port. If those values have been set differently, the Validation procedure will force the parameter LINE: of the LAPD/EBLAPD port to have the same value as parameter "LINE:" of the Q931 referred port.


SIDE: Port type (Only in EBQ931 and EPQ931 ports)
TE TE, NT

It sets the port type so also the driver behaviour.

This parameter is related with the same parameter of the eventual lower level EBLAPD/EPLAPD port. If those values have been set differently, the Validation procedure will force the parameter SIDE: of the EBLAPD/EPLAPD port to have the same value as parameter "SIDE:" of the EPQ931 referred port.


DIALT: Dialling timeout
5 1 - 15

Timeout to wait for the automatic number completion. This timeout is required because the Abilis CPX does not know when the number is complete.

This parameter affects both incoming and outgoing call in absence of SENDING COMPLETE infromation element.


SCRST: Activation of the RESTART signal, if a given event occurs (Only if LINE:PP)
YES NO, YES, EXT

It activates the RESTART functionality only if particular conditions occur.

Value Meaning
NO The functionality is disabled: the RESTART signal is never sent
YES The RESTART signal is sent only at Abilis CPX start-up
EXT The RESTART signal is sent at Abilis CPX start-up and every time the lower level (2) opens a connection after disconnecting.

This parameter is shown and configurable only if the line type is PP (point to point).


T301: Time interval between the ALERT signal and connection establishment
180 60 - 180 (in seconds)

It sets the time interval to be waited between the ALERT signal and connection establishment.


NUM: ISDN number of the port
* from 1 up to 20 numerical digits, *

It sets the ISDN number of the port; it will be used to forward the outgoing calls.

The character "*" stands for "any number", that is upper level port driver, i.e. MLM, can make calls with any calling address.


ORCD: Maximum number of digits used for the incoming calls with "open numbering"
0 0- 20

It sets the maximum number of digits used for the incoming calls with "open numbering", for example:

warning! Calls income from the net without "zero", so that the user called by "02 610001" will receive an incoming call from "2610001".
