4. Feature-Specific Configuration Modifying ISDN Link Profiles Once an ISDN Link Profile is configured using the Automatic Backup Configuration feature, phone numbers and Calling IDs need to be entered. FrameSaver units with ISDN backup capability can originate or answer calls, as needed, so both phone numbers and Calling IDs are needed. Procedure 1. Select Link Profiles, then Modify. Main Menu → Configuration → ISDN → Link Profiles 2.
4. Feature-Specific Configuration Restricting Automatic Backup and Configuring Backup Timers You can specify when auto backup is allowed to occur. If backup is restricted and a backup is active when the allowed time for backups is over, then the backup is terminated and the data is returned to the primary data path regardless of the primary path’s condition.

4. Feature-Specific Configuration PVC Backup Over the Network Interface Generally, backup can be performed on the network interface’s frame relay link using a backup PVC, as well on an ISDN link; the unit does not have to have the ISDN DBM feature. In this case, create a DLCI Record on the network interface that will be used for backup, then modify the PVC Connections or Management PVCs to add the alternate destination.
