Description
Maximum line number This field is read-only if you are adding the Access Device to a MetaSwitch Trunk / Access Gateway. Maximum line number usable on this port (the maximum number of subscriber lines that this port supports).
Receive gain This field does not apply in the UK.
Transmit gain This field does not apply in the UK.
Deactivation mode Specifies how child objects should be deactivated when deactivating this object. Values:
  • Normal
    Shut down child objects normally before deactivating the object.
  • Quiesce
    Deactivating the Access Device object in quiesce mode will wait for all existing child objects using the Access Device to be completed before deactivation. No new child objects using this Access Device object will be accepted during this deactivation period.
  • Abort
    Deactivate the object and all its child objects immediately. (This may result in errors at remote systems.)
If a Normal or Quiesce deactivation is already in progress, you can force a faster deactivation by changing the value from Normal to Quiesce or from Quiesce to Abort.
