Service Mode
The section helps you put the PBX in the service mode and back if necessary. The service mode is used for quick changes such as card replacement. The PBX start is much faster after the service mode than after the PBX power off.
- OFF – a normal PBX running status. To reuse the PBX while in the service mode, select OFF and save the changes. Having returned from the service mode successfully, you can see in the section Detected rack in the column Status the state RUN.
- ON – the PBX service mode. To switch the PBX into the service mode while it is in a normal running status, select ON and save the changes. Having transferred into the service mode successfully, you can see in the section Detected rack in the column Status the state STOP.
Detected Rack
The detected rack table gives you a clear overview of all parts of your PBX.
- MAC address – MAC address of the detected rack.
- Serial number – serial number of the detected CPU card.
- State – current rack state. This may differ from the CPU card state (e.g. the CPU is ON while the rack if OFF in the service mode).
- RUN – normal rack operation. The power supply is connected to the cards.
- STOP – the rack is stopped. The power supply is disconnected from the cards. Typical for the service mode.
- ERROR_LICENCE_EXPIRED – the rack is running, but the trial licence or time-limited main licence has expired. A new licence has to be requested.
- 1:Basic – indicates the basic unit state.
- PRESENT – the basic unit is detected.
- MISSING – the basic unit is not detected.
- 2–5:Extender – displays the extender state.
- PRESENT – the extender is detected.
- MISSING – the extender is not detected. Check the power supply connection and the switch card – extender CPU interconnection.
Hardware Profile
To set the hardware profiles and improve your system efficiency use the HW – HW profiles menu. The menu contains ten different hardware profiles. For their benefits and disadvantages see the table below.
Each VoIP card allocates 32 channels in hardware profile 0 and 64 channels in all the other profiles. The PRI card always allocates 32 bus channels.
- HW profile number – since different hardware profiles use different bus frequencies, the new configuration saving system is switched into the service mode and back automatically to bring the bus frequency changes into effect. The clock frequency of the bus can be 2, 4 or 8 MHz thus it corresponds to the amount of the channeles in extender: 32, 64 or 128. Amount of extender channels, used for calling, are always less by 4 because one channel is occupied for signaling.
| Profiles | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extenders | 4 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 0 |
| Extender channels | 128 | 0 | 32 | 64 | 128 | 0 | 32 | 64 | 128 | 0 |
| Trunk positions | 128 | 256 (164) | 224 | 192 | 128 | 224 (132) | 192 | 160 | 96 | 288 (192) |
| Main case case – digital | 128 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 32 |
| Main case – analog | 32 | 32 | 32 | 32 | 32 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 32 |
| Detectors | 32 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 |
| Players | 32 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 | 64 |
Table: Benefits and Disadvantages of Hardware Profiles
Caution
- The amount of channels for trunk positions in some hardware profiles depends on the type of the Switch card used. The default values are valid for the Switch card with one PRI interface or for the card with one PRI and 4 ports used for extender connection. If the Switch card with 4 PRI ports is used, the values in the brackets are valid.
