Per Port Options
Configuration OptionDescription
box_grtDetermines what greeting the caller hears first. This is set per Amanda telephone 
port by assigning a mailbox to the port. Greeting 1 for that mailbox is the greeting 
that the caller hears. By default, all ports are assigned 990, the Company Greeting 
mailbox.
The defaults appear in install.cfg as:
set box_grt 990 n
 
where 990 is a mailbox and
where n is a port number from 1 to 24.
box_idxSets the mailbox...

box_sndIndicates what mailbox serves as the direct message mailbox. This is set per Amanda 
telephone port by assigning a mailbox to the port. The direct message mailbox al-
lows you to leave a message for a mailbox without processing the mailbox. Amanda 
does not execute the Extension field’s tokens or play a greeting. For example, an op-
erator can use the direct message mailbox to transfer callers directly to a user’s voice 
mail.
The default is 998 for all ports....

Chapter 18: Configuration Reference 229
n_ringsSets the number of rings that Amanda waits before answering a call on a given port. 
To have port 7 answer after the second ring use n_rings 2 
for port 7. This is 
useful for those telephone switching systems that do not allow incoming lines to ring 
in a station hunt group or do not provide delayed ringing. Also, it may be used to set 
up backup answering for a secondary attendant operation. 
The rings range from 0 to 9.

Serial Port Options
Configuration OptionDescription
baud1
baud2
baud3
baud4The bps (bits per second) for the logical serial port with the same number. For ex-
ample, baud1 gives the bps for serial_port1. (Serial_port1 can be mapped to any 
COM port.)
Possible values:  Any valid bps rate. The default is 19200. 
The defaults appear in install.cfg as:
set baudn
 19200
where n
 is the logical serial port 1, 2, 3, or 4.

serial_port1
serial_port2
serial_port3
serial_port4To communicate with peripheral devices connected to COM/RS232 ports, Amanda 
needs to know which ports are connected. 
This option matches the serial ports as Amanda knows them (called the logical serial 
ports) to the actual COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4 ports on the computer (called 
the physical serial ports). 
Possible values are 0 through 4. The default is 0, which means that the port is not 
connected.
Only...

SMDI Options
Configuration OptionDescription
smdi_activation_keyA number you receive from your Amanda Company sales representative to allow 
your system to use SMDI. 
If you change or add a board later, you need another activation key because the key 
is based on the serial numbers for the boards and the number of ports.
The default is 0, which means there is no smdi activation key.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set smdi_activation_key 0
smdi_base_portUse...

Chapter 18: Configuration Reference 233
smdi_portThe logical serial port (represented by serial_portn) to use for SMDI integration. 
The port should already have been configured as a serial port using the options in 
the Serial section of Advanced Configuration.
The range is 0 to 4. The default is 0 (no serial port used). 
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set smdi_port 0
smdi_pretimeoutThe maximum number of seconds that an SMDI packet can precede the forwarded 
call.
The default is 50. The range is...

234 Installing [email protected]/DOS
smdi_termUsed only when smdi_type is generic. The terminating characters (if any) which 
define the end of a generic SMDI packet. You can include the following “escape” 
sequences (similar to those used in strings within tokens)
Sequence Meaning
\n newline (carriage return followed by a linefeed)

 carriage return
\j linefeed
\a attention
\d end of transmission
\\ backslash
	 tab
\digitsThe digits must represent the octal number for any character in the range 
0 to...

T1/DID Options
Configuration OptionDescription
did_dtmfIndicates what kind of integration digits Amanda reads when did_mode is True. 
True or False. The default is True.
When True, Amanda expects either MF or DTMF digits. 
When False, she expects the digits as pulse.
See also did_mf and did_mode.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set did_dtmf true
did_mfDetermines what kind of integration digits Amanda reads when did_dtmf is True 
and did_mode is True....

236 Installing [email protected]/DOS
n_winksIf t1_mode is True, tells whether the environment is an immediate (0-wink), 1-wink, 
or 2-wink environment.
Number from 0 to 2. The default is 1. When 2, you need to set n_ani.
See also t1_mode and n_ani.
The default appears in install.cfg as:
set n_winks 1
ring_modeIndicates whether Amanda expects a loop start or a DID interface line.
True or False. The default is True.
When True, Amanda expects a loop start line, and new calls are indicated by ring 
voltage....
