The initial screen configurator, showing a warning about the configuration information needed to E1 links.

It is important that the setup procedure is done only with knowledge of the physical environment, whereas information on the usage scenario of the links needed for the next step.

   | In which scenario will the E1 link(s) be used?           |  
   |  ------------------------------------------------------  |  
   | |      0  PSTN only                                    | |

Defines the settings that are applied on each link connected to the system, following the usual configuration parameters.

For example, for links connected to the central office, the wizard sets up the synchronization timing to be obtained from the link. Other parameters specific signaling also are configured according to the type of scenario chosen.

If the scenario of using the links is different from the three first options, you can choose a setting for link in the option "Other type of configuration ...".

Scenario by link
