MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide

 3-81

With MAXDAX, you can define Answer Plan profiles, which the MAX unit checks if you 
have set no channel-specific parameters. You configure the unit to compare called number, 
data service of the call, or both, to values in the profiles. If the unit finds a match, it routes the 
incoming call to the first available channel in the channel group specified in the Answer Plan 
profile.

For example, if the MAX unit receives a call on channel 3, and the Net/T1 (E1) > Line Config 
> Line Config profile > Line N > Net2Net Incoming Calls > Ch 3 Dest ChanGroup parameter is 
set to 0 (zero), the unit compares the called number and data service of the incoming call with 
configured Answer Plan profiles. If you configure an Answer Plan profile with values for 
Answer # and Answer Data Svc, the values specified for these parameters must match the 
values of the corresponding parameters of the incoming call for the unit to route the call to the 
specified destination channel-group. If you set only the Answer # or the Answer Data Svc 
parameter, only the parameter you have set is compared.

Answer Data Svc applies only to calls received on PRI lines. With inband T1 lines, 

there is no facility to pass data service information to a called unit. If your unit receives calls 
on inband T1 lines, and you want to use Answer Plan profiles, make sure you leave the Answer 
Data Svc parameter blank.

To configure an Answer Plan profile:

Open a System > Answer Plan profile.

Set the Ch N Dest ChanGroup parameter to a value that matches the number of a group 
you created by setting Ch N ChanGroup parameters as described in “Configuring channels 
on which the MAX unit sends outgoing calls” on page 3-76.

If you want the unit to select this Answer Plan profile on the basis of the called number of 
the incoming call, set Answer #.

If you want the unit to select this Answer Plan profile on the basis of the data service of 
the incoming call, set Answer Data Svc.

If you set both the Answer # parameter and the Answer Data Svc parameter, the incoming 
call must match both parameters for the unit to use the specified Answer Plan profile.

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.

A DO menu is a context-sensitive list of commands that appears when you press Ctrl-D. The 
commands in the list vary on the basis of the menu the unit is displaying when you press 
Ctrl-D. When the unit is displaying the Net/T1 (E1) > Line Config profile, or any subprofile 
under Net/T1 > Line Config, and you press Ctrl-D, the unit displays the following command 
listing:
