DIAL PLAN
The DIAL PLAN submenus set global ATLAS 550 switch parameters as well as individual parameters for
each ATLAS 550 port handling a switched call (see Figure 18 on page 250). The individual ports are
separated into two port types: network and user. Network ports terminate a connection from the network.
User ports terminate incoming calls and, in turn may be connected to user equipment.
DIAL PLAN > NETWORK TERM
Figure 18. Dial Plan Menu
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
This menu allows the user to define option parameters for ports which terminate a connection from the
network.
In applications where two ATLAS 550 units are used in a point-to-point configuration, a
port in the ATLAS 550 at one end would act as the network (USER TERM), while the
ATLAS 550 at the opposite end would be terminating a network connection (NETWORK
TERM).
DIAL PLAN > NETWORK TERM > SLOT/SVC
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Selects the ATLAS 550 slot or service that terminates a network connection.
DIAL PLAN > NETWORK TERM > PORT/PEP
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Selects the ATLAS 550 port or packet endpoint that terminates a network connection.
There may be more than one “endpoint” associated with a particular port. If a T1 is
connected to the PSTN, some DS0s may be used for long distance, while others are used
for local calls. These would constitute two “endpoints” (trunks) over a single physical
port.
