4-1Chapter 4Configuring the Subscriber TableAbout the Subscriber Table and Subscriber IDs; accessing the Subscriber Table window; adding ormodifying a subscriber table entry; editing the Routing and Address tablesThe Subscriber Table allows you to add or modify the entries your FRX orSmartSwitch 1800 will use to establish virtual connections to end-user devices inthe network. These entries contain the assigned subscriber addresses, as well asinformation that links those addresses to a specific FRX or SmartSwitch 1800physical or logical port (or ports). Entries also contain additional informationrelated to preferred delivery algorithms, alternate routing paths, and transmissionpriority.About Subscriber IDsYour FRX and SmartSwitch 1800 devices are designed to provide point-to-pointdedicated connections among the devices communicating through their serialports. There are two types of connections used to accomplish this: PermanentVirtual Circuits, or PVCs, which define permanent point-to-point connectionswhich are always available, even when they are not being used; and SwitchedVirtual Circuits, or SVCs, which are established and broken in response to specificcall requests.Subscriber IDs are used to establish virtual connections between the FRX andend-user devices (or subscribers) in the network. A Subscriber ID is associatedwith at least one physical or logical port on your FRX or SmartSwitch 1800 device,and includes a number of parameters related to how call requests are routed tothat subscriber. The Subscriber Table allows you to configure this subscriberinformation.TIPThe Subscriber Table applies to all serial ports, regardless of protocol; however, it is onlyavailable on devices running firmware version 3.3.0 or later.
