WAN Port Overview

Creating a Virtual WAN Port
WAN services can be run over a T1 PRI trunk connection. This requires creation of a virtual WAN port. For full details refer to Using a Dedicated T1/PRI ISP Link in Appendix A.

1. Select  WAN Port.

2. Click  and select PPP.  

3. In the Name field, enter either LINEx.y where:

4. • LINE must be in uppercase.

   • x is the line number. For a PRI/T1 module in Slot A, this will be 1. For a PRI/T1 module in Slot B, this will be 5.

   • y is the lowest numbered channel number to be used by the WAN link minus 1. For example, if the lowest channel to be used is channel 1 then y = 1 - 1 = 0.

4. In the Speed field, enter the total combined speed of the maximum number of channels sets in the Service. In this example, 12 channels x 64000 bits = 76800.

5. • Note: The maximum number of channels that can be used will be limited by the number of data channels supported by the IP Office Control Unit and not already in use.

5. In the RAS Name field, select the RAS name created when the new Service of that name was created.

6. Click OK.

Use this form to configure the leased line connected to the WAN port on the Control Unit. Normally this connection is automatically detected by the IP Office control unit. If a WAN Port is not displayed, connect the WAN cable, reboot the Control Unit and receive the configuration. The WAN Port configuration form should now be added.

Settings

• Name
  The physical ID of the Extension port,. This parameter is not configurable; it is allocated by the system.

• Speed
  The operational speed of this port. For example for a 128K connection, enter 128000. This should be set to the actual speed of the leased line as this value is used in the calculation of bandwidth utilization. If set incorrectly, additional calls may be made to increase Bandwidth erroneously.

• Mode: Default = SyncPPP
  Select the protocol required:

• • SyncPPP
    For a data link.

  • SyncFrameRelay
    For a link supporting Frame Relay.

• RAS Name
  If the Mode is SyncPPP, selects the RAS service to associate with the port. If the Mode is SyncFrameRelay, the RAS Name is set through the DCLIs tab.
