have to assign a profile name and set a couple of other parameters that apply to the entire 
profile, but most parameters are specific to a single line. You have to open each Line N 
subprofile and set a few basic operational parameters, parameters for configuring the B 
channels, and parameters for configuring add-on numbers and SPIDs.
Specifying a name and other settings for the profile
To begin configuring an ISDN BRI network card, open one of the Net/BRI > Line Config 
profiles and set the following parameters: 
Setting a line’s basic operational parameters
When you are ready to begin configuring a specific ISDN BRI line, open the line’s Line N 
subprofile and set the following parameters:
For detailed information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Parameter
Specifies
Name
Descriptive name for the profile. You can configure several profiles in a 
Net/BRI slot and activate a profile when it is needed. (This parameter is 
optional. Functionality is not affected if you do not enter a value.)
Switch Type
Type of switch (carrier-specific) that provides the ISDN service for the 
MAX.
BRI Analog 
Encode
Support for user-selectable analog encoding for the BRI interface. If you 
are going to receive modem calls, you can set this parameter to specify 
the encoding type.
Parameter
Specifies
Enabled
Availability of an ISDN BRI line. If you set the Enabled parameter to No, 
the line is not available for use.
Clock Source
That the line can (Yes) or cannot (No) be used as the clock source for 
timing synchronous transmissions between the sending and the receiving 
device. A MAX unit only has one clock source. The first line that comes 
up is the clock source for all the lines. If you set this parameter to No, the 
MAX uses its internal clock.
Link Type
Whether the line is operating in point-to-point or multipoint mode.
In point-to-point mode, the MAX requires one telephone number and no 
Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDS). In multipoint mode, the MAX 
requires two telephone numbers and two SPIDS. All international switch 
types except DBP Telecom, and all U.S. switch types except AT&T 
5ESS, operate in multipoint mode.
