11. In the SMDI section of Advanced Configuration, change 
smdi_port 0 
To :
smdi_port n
where n is the number for n in step 6.
12. Verify that the smdi_type option is:
smdi_type smdi
Change it if necessary.
13. Modify 
smdi_base_port 1 if the first port on the telephone switching system is 
not identified as the logical port 1. For example, some telephone switching systems 
use the port’s extension or another logical terminal number to identify the port. The 
first...

You must also modify your C:\AMANDA\PBX.DB\1001.PBX file to include the SMDI 
information. Using the Amanda Setup utility (selection 3) or the JOVE utility, verify that 
your integration lines are as follows. When using Setup, type 30 in the Timeout field. (30 
equals 30 tenths of seconds or a total of 3 seconds.) Then enter the integration strings in 
the column for the extension plan your system uses. 
Use an  entry for each string you are adding. (See “Using Character...

To program the message waiting lights, use the following in the Method field 
of the two notification records used for Light ON and Light OFF:
N
OTE:The message codes above are for a 4-digit and 3-digit sta-
tion plan. To modify to another digit plan, use the appropri-
ate number of 
0s. These examples use 
logical serial port 1; 
for other ports, the 1’s would have to be replaced.

4. You can also set 
smdi_pretimeout
 x, where x is the maximum number of sec-
onds that a packet can precede the forwarded call. Start with 50, the default, but you 
may need to experiment to determine the best setting. On the NEC 2000, one solution 
provider reports that 15 is a good setting.
5. Set smdi_start option to the number that indicates the position in the integration 
packet sent by the telephone switching system where the field containing the port 
number...

Chapter 9: Using Serial Integration 67
NOTE:To modify the above for another digit plan, use the appropriate number 
of 
r’s, 
b’s, 
s’s, 
e’s, and 
x’s. In the example, 20 is used (causing Amanda 
to timeout after 2 seconds if the packet has not been received) because it 
works for all serial integration. The number is in tenths of seconds.
To program the message waiting lights for NEC 2000, use the following in the Method 
field of the two notification records used for Light ON and Light OFF:

OTE:The smdi_max, smdi_pretimeout, smdi_start, smdi_stop, and smdi_term 
configuration options do not apply to AT&T System 75 and Definity-G3 
telephone switching systems.
You must modify your C:\AMANDA\PDX.DB\1001.PBX file to properly integrate the 
7404D set information. Using either the Amanda Setup utility or the JOVE utility, verify 
that your integration lines are:
integration 10

The *4 and #4 are the AT&T default values, often left as the standard, but fully 
configurable. Watch out for dialplan conflicts if you change them because the conflicts 
can slow down system operation if a needed wait for dial timeout (that is, a four-digit 
speedial code) has the same first few digits as the message waiting light feature.

Use an  entry for each string you are adding. (See “Using Character Codes” on 
page 32) for more information about the codes such as rrr or rrrr.)
If you are using the JOVE utility, the integration timeout precedes each integration string 
as follows. This example is only for 4-digit station plans.
N
OTE:The number of x’s in the above strings is equal to the value of smdi_stop, 
while the number of r
’s, e

’s, and s
’s is equal to the value of 
smdi_start. To modify...

To program the message waiting lights for NEC 2000, use the following in the Method 
field of the two notification records used for Light ON and Light OFF:
\B represents Ctrl+B, the start of transmission (STX) character. %E should be the same 
number of digits and smdi_start specifies.
N
OTE:These examples uses logical serial port 3; for other ports, the 3’s would 
have to be replaced.

8. You must set 
smdi_term
 n, where n is the termination character set (if there is 
one). Leave this option empty if the packets are terminated only by receiving 
smdi_max characters.
9. You can also set 
smdi_delay
 n, where n is the number of tenths of seconds that 
Amanda waits after the call is answered before looking for integration information. 
This allows more than one packet to be sent to a port per telephone call. Amanda uses 
the last (most recent) packet. The...
