Loading Protocols
Although a SmartSwitch 1800 is shipped with a set of protocols already installed, a
file must be configured to properly load them into the software.
To access Protocol configuration, press
[A]
, then
[B]
from the Main Menu. Then:
●
To display a list of configured and loaded protocols, press
[A]
. A newly added
protocol is displayed as
Configured
until the node is rebooted, at which time the
protocol will be displayed as
Loaded
.
X.25 is always loaded, and will not be displayed. The information is
taken from the configuration file, which does not allow configuring
X.25. This prevents the possiblility of deleting X.25, which is a nec-
essary protocol for use by internal SmartSwitch 1800 traffic.
●
To display a table of memory usage, press
[C]
. This information, in conjuction
with information in the release notes, can help in planning the number of pro-
tocols to run.
●
To add or remove a protocol, press
[B]
. This will display a screen similar to
Figure 5-1.
