CONFIGURING RESOURCES AND L INESOVERVIEWThis chapter describes the configuration of physical resources, lines and subaddresses.Resources refer to the hardware adapters that plug into the CyberSWITCH. For example, a WANresource is the physical component (i.e., interface) for the attachment of lines (or connections) toyour system.Lines are communication facilities from the carriers. These lines directly attach to your system.From the system perspective, lines provide the physical connection to switched networks. Lines arenot required for LAN connections.There is an optional element, the system subaddress, that you may configure for a point-multipointline. This element is a call screening method. A subaddress is only needed if you have a lineinterface type of point-multipoint, and you choose the subaddress call screening method.R ESOURCESCONFIGURING RESOURCESU SING CFGEDITTo configure the CyberSWITCH’s resources, select Physical Resources from the Main Menu.
