Typical Host/BRI configurations, with examples
Ally has a personal computer connected to a Pipeline 85™ unit. The Pipeline 85 connects to a
port on a MAX unit’s Host/BRI card. The unit connects to an external site by way of a PRI
line. Users external to Ally’s site need to access resources on her computer, so you must
configure the MAX to accept incoming calls and route them to the Pipeline 85 connected to
Ally’s computer. Jim requires a similar configuration, but he also needs access to the Internet,
so he must enable outbound calls. Sheila must share data with a user who is connected to one
of the other BRI lines attached to the MAX unit, so you must configure the unit for local
BRI-to-BRI calls.

Example of routing inbound calls
With the following configuration, the MAX unit routes inbound WAN calls to the device
terminating the Host/BRI line. That device does not make outbound calls to the WAN. The
inbound caller dials 555-1212, and the MAX unit connects the caller to the equipment that
terminates BRI line 1.
