Motorola BitSURFR Setup Notes

For use on single 64k data channel with DCB muxes or routers

Note: applies to BitSURFR version 1E firmware only!

We recommend dialing remotes from the host.

Important:

Any menu item not explicitly mentioned should remain at the current configuration. All DIP switches on the back of the BitSURFR should be in the UP position. Configuring the BitSURFR according to these instructions will disable the "AT" command function. To change any part of the configuration after saving will require DIP switch 1 on the back of the BitSURFR to be placed in the down position, the unit powered off, and then back on again. This will reconfigure the unit back to factory defaults. Be sure to place DIP switch 1 back up!

• Connect terminal or PC running terminal emulation software to BitSURFR DB25 connector. Terminal must be in VT100 mode. Hyperterm in Windows 95 works well.
• Type "AT" and press Enter.
• Observe "OK" response on screen from terminal.
• Type "at@MENU" and press Enter. ("MENU" must be in CAPS)
• Menu screen should appear with LOCALMENU HELP highlighted.
• ASCII should also be highlighted. If GRAPHICS is highlighted press Enter. Choose ASCII with cursor and press Enter.
• Press Space, move cursor to highlight CALL OPTS, press Enter.
• Use cursor keys to highlight B Channel Speed, press Enter, select 64k.
• Use cursor keys to highlight Persistent DTR Dial, press Enter, select Disabled if remote site - select Enabled if host site.
• Press Space, move cursor to highlight PROTOCOLS, press Enter.
• Use cursor keys to highlight Rate Adaption Protocol, press Enter, select CLEAR.
• Use cursor keys to highlight Bonding Multiplier, press Enter, select 1.
• Press Space, move cursor to highlight NETWORK, press Enter.
• Use cursor keys to highlight Network Switch Type, press Enter, select NI-1 (may be different, correct switch type usually identified in customer's telco documents)
• Use cursor keys to highlight Data SPID, press Enter, type in complete SPID (ie, 21735971950111)
• Use cursor keys to highlight Data Directory Number, press Enter, type in only the prefix and suffix of SPID (ie, 3597195)
• Press Space, move cursor to highlight STORED NOS, press Enter.
• At the host site only - use cursor keys to highlight Telephone Number 0, press Enter, type in only the actual dialing number required for the remote TA. Usually this would be the same as the Directory Number entered in the remote TA, however Centrex lines may only require 3 or 4 digits to dial to prevent accessing outside lines. In this case, enter the 4 digit suffix portion of the Directory Number for the remote unit. Do not try using only 3 digits even if you have 3 digit Centrex, as most TAs appear to have a problem with dialing only 3 digits.
