Chapter 5 Configuring the R2MFC MBM 49

R2MFC Media Bay Module Installation and Configuration Guide

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.

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.

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 

 for a description of 

how to set the predefined country code and second dial tone settings. The CLI can be used to 
create a customized country codes. See 

 for a 

procedure on how to create the customized country code.

The Config DIP switch settings include diagnostic mode, country codes, and second dial tone. 
Country codes include the default settings for the connection (link) for the country selected. See 

 for the country code 

DIP switch settings and their specifications.

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.
