FieldPurpose
MAC AddressThe hardware address of this Single-Port Analog Terminal 
Adapter (ATA) or of the port on a 4-Port Analog Terminal 
Card.
NOTE: The ports on a 3C10114 4-Port Analog Terminal 
Card have sequential MAC addresses.
The ports on a 3C10114C 4-Port Analog Terminal Card 
have the same MAC address, and a Virtual Device 
Number (VDN), in square brackets after it, provides a 
unique identifying number to each port.
NameA name to help identify this ATA or port.
ExtensionThe extension number assigned to the device connected 
to this ATA or ATC port.
StatusThe state of the ATA or ATC port when it was last 
involved in a call. Devices send status messages to the 
Call Processor every 30 seconds.
Software VersionThe software version downloaded to this ATA or 4-Port 
Analog Terminal Card and used by the Digital Signal 
Processors (DSPs). 
						

							232CHAPTER 3: DEVICE CONFIGURATION
6To optionally send a status message to the Call Processor about the ATA 
or port, select Device Refresh and click Apply.
7To optionally reset the ATA or port, select Reset Device and click Apply. A 
dialog box prompts you to confirm the reset.
8Click Ye s. The ATA or port resets itself.
CAUTION:On the 3C10114 Analog Terminal Card, you can reboot 
individual ports without affecting the other ports. However, if you reboot 
a port on the 3C10114C Analog Terminal Card, all four ports on the card 
are rebooted. Active calls on any of these ports are disrupted. 
9Click OK.
Advanced SettingsYou can set the audio gain and timing controls on each port of an Analog 
Terminal Card, or on a single-port Analog Terminal Adapter. To set these 
parameters:
1In the NBX NetSet - Main Menu window, click Device Configuration.
2Click the ATA tab.
Dialog RefreshHow often to renew Status information. You can select 
either Manual, for manual refresh, or an interval of from 
5–60 seconds, at 5–second intervals.
Device RefreshForces the ATA or ATC port to send a status message to 
the Call Processor immediately.
Reset DeviceReboots the ATA or ATC port. The ATA or ATC port 
renews communications with the Call Processor and 
receives a new download of its operating software.
Time Last SeenThe time when the ATA or ATC port last communicated 
to the Call Processor.

							Configuring and Managing BRI-ST Digital Line Cards239
Configuring and 
Managing BRI-ST 
Digital Line CardsThese sections describe how to add and configure a BRI-ST Digital Line 
Card to handle a BRI line with four BRI spans using the ST interface. In 
this chapter, and in the NBX NetSet utility, Digital Line Cards are referred 
to as cards and boards.
This section covers these topics:
■Adding an ISDN BRI-ST Digital Line Card
■Configuring the ISDN BRI-ST Digital Line Card
■BRI-ST Card Status Lights
■Modifying a BRI-ST Card
■Adding or Modifying a BRI Group
■Modifying BRI Card Channels
■Modifying IP Settings for a BRI Card
■Removing a BRI Digital Line Card
Each BRI-ST card (3C10164-S/T) supports the Basic Rate Interface protocol 
(ST interface only).

Adding an ISDN
BRI-ST Digital Line
CardTo add an ISDN BRI-ST Digital Line Card to an NBX system, use the 
information in these sections:
■Preparing the NBX System for BRI Cards
■Ordering DID, CLIP, and MSN Services for BRI
■Inserting the ISDN BRI-ST Digital Line Card
Preparing the NBX System for BRI Cards
Before you insert the BRI-ST Digital Line Card into the chassis, order an 
ISDN BRI-ST line from your telephone carrier, and have them install the 
line.
Ordering DID, CLIP, and MSN Services for BRI
When you order BRI services with DID, CLIP, or MSN, the local telephone 
carrier assigns a block of telephone numbers to you. Usually, you can 
request a specific range of numbers, but sometimes the carrier assigns 
numbers other than the ones you request.
You may be able to request that the local telephone carrier pass you a 
specific number of digits for each incoming telephone call. Sometimes 
the carrier does not offer any choice. In either situation, you need to 
know how many digits the carrier passes.
Example: Carriers commonly pass either the last three digits or last four 
digits of the number for each incoming call.
Sometimes the last digits of the telephone numbers the carrier assigns to 
you do not match the telephone extension numbers you want to use for 
internal calls. Create entries in your Dial Plan configuration file to trans- 
late the incoming numbers into the corresponding extension numbers.
Example: You want to use internal extensions from 4000 through 4999, 
but the local telephone carrier assigns you numbers from 617-555-3500 
through 617-555-4499. You can create translator entries in the Dial Plan 
configuration file to translate an incoming digit sequence such as 3795 
into extension number 4295, and a sequence such as 4213 into 4713. 
The configuration would require several translator entries to handle 
subsets of the total range. A unique set of entries would handle incoming 
digit sequences from 3500 through 3599, from 3600 through 3699, and 
each of the other sequences in which the first two digits were unique in 
the range from 37XX through 44XX.
