configuration types (CACH or EKTS) and the
instructions on how to change the terminal settings
for proper operation.
If your service provider has not supplied a SPID to
you, try this format shown above. If it does not
work, contact your service provider or System
Administrator.
Occasionally, if the switch is very busy, the
download may be delayed for a short time. The
terminal will continue to request a download until
it is successful, or until it receives a message from
the switch indicating that a manual configuration
is needed.
The terminal also supports two other functions
associated with parameter downloading.
1) Service Profile Change Notification. If you
request a change to your ISDN service
configuration, when that change is completed
in the central office, the switch typically notifies
the terminal that a change has occurred. The
terminal then requests a download from the
switch to update its configuration. This occurs
automatically.
If you have used manual configuration to reassign
features, the settings that differ from the
downloaded settings will be lost.
Note: On a DMS-100 NI 1 which supports SPM
instead of parameter downloading, if a Service
Profile change is made in the switch, it is
necessary to manually request a download in
order for a download of the new configuration
to occur.
2) The terminal provides a manual download
function that allows you to request a download
if you suspect that the information in the
terminal may be corrupt. Instructions for
manual download are in the Key Attribute
section.
