John,
Fixed
assignment on modems means if a call from the telco comes in on span 1
channel one, it will hit modem 1 in slot one. If you set it to round robin, a
call that comes in on span 1, channel 1, might hit modem card 1 channel 15.
What
you don't have control over is the TELCOs call routing method (of course, you
can call them and request a different routing method).
YOU can only control MODEM call routing assignments for calls
that hit a particular modem.
Same
principle:
Round
Robin from the telco gives you equal distribution/usage of all
cards.
Round
Robin set on the DSP will give you even distribution/usage of modems on that
card.
In the
example below, if you have your DSP's set to distribute calls in a fixed
assignment fashion, then you can be pretty sure you received calls from the
telco on
Span
1/Ch 24
Span
1/ch 22
Span
2/ch 24
Span2/Ch 1
Hope
that helps...

I'm trying to set up fixed assignment modem
routing on a TC1000 running TCS 4.2.73 with two HiPER DSP's running 2.1.9
attached to channelized T1's. I've used both the DSP console level
command "set mdmrmeth fixeda" and the TCM method using Configure/Programmed
Settings/Card Level/Parameter/Routing Method. A "display mdmrmeth" on
each DSP in console mode shows FIXED ASSIGNMENT. Any suggestions?
Am I missing something?
