Displaying and Configuring UVM Cards

The UVM card set is a multi-purpose module capable of supporting channelized T1, E1, or J1 lines for carrying voice, data, or both these types of traffic.

Displaying Card Parameters

To display the Card Configuration dialog for this device (using the rear or front view), right-click on the card to display the card "Configure" pop-up menu, then select Configure.

Front Card Configuration Dialog

Use this dialog to display UVM card characteristics, hardware, firmware, and status information. The Card Configuration dialog parameters are described in Table 12-1 .

Parameter	Description

Channel Index	Specifies the channel or range of channels for the interface type configuration.
InterfaceType	Specifies the interface type to assign to the channel or range of channels.
Dial Type	Specifies the dial type to assign. The three possible dial types are: inband pulse user-configured Inband is the default dial type.
Signaling Delay(msecs)	Specifies the signaling delay for the user-configured dial type. The range is 12-96 ms. Your entry is rounded to the closest multiple of 1.5 ms.
Min. Wink(msecs)	Specifies the minimum wink to assign to the user-configured dial type. The range is 3-765 ms. Your entry is rounded down to the nearest multiple of 3 ms. This parameter does not apply to CDP, UVM, or CVM channels.
