Displaying the Profile Settings

This window displays the active profile and its settings. The default active profile for all LRE ports is the LRE-10 private profile.

If a public profile is active, Public Mode is selected, and both the Public Profile Setting and Private Profile Setting tabs appear. Click the Public Profile Setting tab or click Public Mode to display the public profile associated with the switch.

If a private profile is active, Private Mode is selected, and only the Private Profile Setting tab appears. Click the Private Profile Setting tab or click Private Mode to display the private profiles associated with the LRE ports.

Changing the Active Profile Mode

To change the active profile:

  1. If you want the public profile settings to be active, click Public Mode. If you want the private profile settings to be active, click Private Mode.
  2. Click either:

The switch resets the ports with the updated private profile settings.

Changing Public Profile Settings

Public profiles are set on a switch-wide (global) basis. The public profile you select should be compatible with the PSTN to which the LRE switch is connected.

To change the public profile setting of the LRE ports:

  1. Click Public Mode, and click the Public Profile Setting tab. If Public Mode is already selected, click the Public Profile Setting tab.
    Note: If Private Mode is selected, the Public Profile Setting tab is disabled (does not appear). You must click Public Mode to display the Public Profile Setting tab.
  2. From the Profile Name list, select the public profile that you want to assign to the switch (all LRE ports). When selected, the line speeds provisioned by the selected profile appear.
  3. Click either:

The switch resets the ports with the updated public profile settings. The public profile settings are immediately put in effect, and the public mode automatically becomes the active mode.

Note: Public profiles have priority over private profiles. If you assign a public profile to the switch, the switch ignores any assigned private profiles. To make the private profile mode active, see Changing the Active Profile Mode.

Changing Private Profile Settings

To change the private profile setting of one or more LRE ports on the switch:

  1. Click either Private Mode or the Private Profile Setting tab.
    Note: The Private Profile Setting tab appears whether Public Mode or Private Mode is selected.
  2. From the Private Profile Setting tab, choose one or more ports.
    To choose several ports, hold down the Ctrl key and make your choices, or hold down the Shift key and choose the first and last port in a range.
  3. Click Profile Setting to display the Profile Settings window from which you can change the setting.
    Note: Changes to the private profile settings are not put in effect until you make the private mode the active mode. See Changing the Active Profile Mode.
