Parameter

Description
IAD name A unique name used in the EMS User Interface to identify this IAD. You must specify a name of 1 - 16 characters, which may be uppercase letters, digits, or any of the following special characters:
+
- _ & ! ' | = # ? . ; [ ] ^ ' { } ~
Number of voice ports to configure Number of voice ports to be configured on this IAD. This is not necessarily the same as the number of voice ports supported on the IAD. If the number of voice ports supported on the IAD is less than this value, the voice ports that cannot be supported are alarmed. During creation, when this field is set, the system automatically creates the configured number of IAD Voice Port objects, which exist until the IAD Port is destroyed. If this field is later modified, the system creates or deletes IAD Voice Port objects correspondingly.
Maximum concurrent calls allowed (all types) Maximum number of calls that can be in progress at any one time on the IAD. This value allows you to restrict the amount of bandwidth used on the VCC to the IAD, on the assumption that not all voice ports on the IAD will need to be in use at the same time. This count includes both ADPCM (G.726) and PCM (G.711) calls. For the purposes of this count, if a tone (such as the reorder tone) is being played to a subscriber outside of a call, the subscriber is viewed as being in a call for the duration of the tone. If a call setup attempt is made to or from the IAD after this count has been reached, the call setup attempt will be rejected. This value cannot exceed the value of Number of voice ports to configure for this IAD.
Maximum concurrent calls allowed (PCM only) Maximum number of PCM (G.711) calls that can be in progress at any one time on the IAD. This value allows you to restrict the amount of bandwidth used on the VCC to the IAD, on the assumption that not all voice ports on the IAD will need to be in use at the same time. For the purposes of this count, if a tone (such as the reorder tone) is being played to a subscriber outside of a call, the subscriber is viewed as being in a call for the duration of the tone. If a PCM call setup attempt is made to or from the IAD after this count has been reached, the call setup attempt will be rejected. This value cannot exceed the value of Maximum concurrent calls allowed (all types) for this IAD. If the IAD supports only PCM and not ADPCM (AAL2 channel profile is set to Profile 9), the two values should be the same.
IAD Group The IAD Group to which this IAD belongs. Select from the list of configured IAD Groups.
ATM Port name The Fault Tolerant ATM Port that this IAD is connected to. Select from the displayed list of Fault Tolerant ATM Ports.
VPI The VPI of the PVC used by this IAD to access the VP3000. This must be within the VPI range defined for the ATM Port selected.
VCI The VCI of the PVC used by this IAD to access the VP3000. This must be within the VCI range defined for the ATM Port selected.
