Default category
The MFC subscriber category, sent by R2MFC MBM in outgoing calls, is fixed. The default
category for all countries is II1 (subscriber without priority). If needed, the default can be changed
by CLI.

Default subscriber status
The user can set default subscriber status (for example, free, busy, and vacant number) for
incoming calls. When this feature is enabled, the R2MFC MBM in an incoming call sends the
preset default subscriber status, instead of the status received from the PRI status.

The subscriber status option is not enabled in R2MFC MBM; therefore, the subscriber status is
translated from ISDN message to MFC, and vice versa.

Configuring the MFCR2 (external) link
The MFCR2 (external) link is configured directly on the R2MFC MBM by setting DIP switches,
and using a CLI on the R2MFC MBM. Standard predefined configurations already exist, and must
be used, whenever possible. Country code configurations set, by DIP switches, are hard-coded,
and can be changed only by using the CLI. See

Perform the following steps to set the Config DIP switches:
1 Power down the BCM.
Caution: Country configuration is read by the firmware upon power up or
restart. Changing the country, while the R2MFC MBM is operating, causes the
firmware to restart automatically after a delay of five seconds from the last DIP
switch change. All active calls during the restart are dropped.
