    D-channel signaling format

    Select a signaling method for the D channel.

    This format carries the information needed to connect or disconnect calls and negotiate special calling parameters such as automatic number ID, call waiting, and data protocol.

    The D channel can also carry packet-switched data using the X.25 protocol.

    Line build out

    Select the line build out (LBO).

    Use LBO settings to adjust the output power of the transmission signal to achieve equal level point (ELP) at the DSX.

    D-channel

    Depending on your selection in Type, the default channel numbers are:

    • Full T1: 24
    • Full E1: 16

    Max DNIS digits

    Telephone companies can provide a dialed number identification service (DNIS) that lets the receiver of a call know which number a caller has dialed for an incoming phone call.

    Enter the number of digits of a dialed call that the FortiVoice phone system sends to the telephone company.

    Caller category

    Select the caller type.
