Dialing, billing and signaling parameters
The next set of parameters in Ethernet > X.25 > X.25 profile includes defining the types of 
outbound calls the MAX makes, the number used to dial out this connection, telephone billing 
number, the signaling value the PRI uses when placing a call and a dialing prefix for PRI 
calling: 
LAPB parameters
Link Access Procedure (LAP) is a protocol containing a subset of High-Level Data Link 
Protocol (HDLC) features. In order to maintain compatibility with HDLC, LAP was changed 
to create Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) which is a protocol for B channels that use 
packet-switching mode. 
Call Type
Type of connection, such as switched, or nailed. You can set the Call 
Type parameter to specify the type of connection between the local and 
remote codecs. (A codec–COder/DECoder– is a device that encodes 
analog data into a digital signal for transmission over a digital medium. 
Codecs are often used for videoconferencing.) 
Nailed Grp
The group number that supports the serial WAN connection. When you 
configure a nailed connection, you must assign a group number to each 
nailed channel. Nailed channels can share group numbers.
Data Svc
The type of data service the link uses, such as 56K, 56KR, or 64K. The 
Data Svc parameter affects how much bandwidth is available for a 
particular session, and how channels can be allocated to the call. You 
can set this parameter to specify the type of data service the link uses.
Parameter
Specifies
PRI # Type
Outbound calls made by the MAX on PRI lines so that the switch can 
properly interpret the phone number dialed. Ask your PRI provider for 
details on when to use each of the following settings. This parameter 
specifies the TypeOfNumber field in the called party’s information 
element.
Dial #
Number used to dial out this connection. It can contain up to 24 
characters, which may include a dialing prefix that directs the 
connection to use a trunk group or dial plan; for example: 
6-1-212-555-1212.
Bill #
A telephone number to be used for billing purposes. If a number is 
specified, it is used either as a billing suffix or the calling party number. 
For robbed-bit lines, the MAX uses the billing-number as a suffix that 
is appended to each phone number it dials for the call. 
Call-by-Call
A signaling value the PRI service uses when placing a call using that 
profile.
Transit #
A dialing prefix for use in the transit network IE for PRI calling when 
going through an Interexchange Carrier (IEC). The default (null) 
causes the MAX to use any available IEC for long-distance calls.
