software. Make sure that your call-routing configuration accommodates calls destined for the 
local Ethernet network. (For details, see “Configuring inbound calls” on page 3-59 an
“Configuring outbound calls” on page 3-69.)
An AIM port requires three levels of configuration:
Configure the AIM port itself
Configure the interface to the codec
Configure the WAN connections between serial hosts
The remainder of this chapter describes parameters, procedures and examples for configuring 
the inverse-multiplexing port, the Host interface to the codec, inverse-multiplexing WAN 
connections, bandwidth WAN connections, an AIM call, a FT1-B&O call, a single-channel call 
and a dual-port call.
Configuring the inverse-multiplexing port
The Port Config profiles contain protocol and routing parameters for the port itself. To 
configure an inverse-multiplex port, open Host/AIM6 (or Host/Dual) > PortMenu > Port 
Config and set the following parameters:
Parameter
Specifies
Port Name
Descriptive name for the port profile. (This parameter is optional. 
Functionality is not affected if you do not enter a value.)
Dial Plan
Whether a card uses trunk groups or the extended dial plan to send and 
receive calls. (For details about dial plans, see “Configuring outbound 
calls” on page 3-69.
Ans N
A telephone number for call routing purposes. Calls received on the 
specified number are routed to the port controlled by this profile.
Idle
Action that the MAX takes on the port when you turn on the power or 
when no call is active. With the None setting, the port waits for you to 
establish the call. With the Call setting, the port automatically 
establishes an outbound call when you turn on the power or when a 
call is active. 
Dial
How a call originates at the port, whether it be by dialing through the 
MAX unit’s user interface, or by using one of three dialing protocols 
(RS-366, V.25 bis, or X.21) to dial from the AIM port.
Answer
The protocol the port associated with this profile uses when answering 
calls.
Clear
Protocol that applies when the port receives a request to clear a call. 
(With the Terminal setting, the MAX does not respond to control-line 
requests to clear calls.)
Term Timing
Whether the MAX uses the Terminal Timing signal from the codec to 
clock data it receives from the codec. Terminal Timing is a clock 
signal specified for the V.35, X.21, and RS-449 serial interfaces. It 
compensates for the phase difference between Send Data and Send 
Timing.
