ATT System 25 Administration Manual

Here is an example of the T (target select) command with PDC (Main Menu item 2).
You see:
PDC = 9876 Action = 1 Data = 201

You enter T 8765 [ Return ] and see:
> PDC = 8765

Action Groups
Some action numbers are parts of groups. These groups are sets of closely related system
parameters that need to be changed as a group. For example, when you assign a voice
terminal, you must also assign a PDC. (See the example at the end of this section.) If you
change the data value for an action item and...

You enter 6789 [ Return ] and see:
> Data = 6789
Port = 10408 Action = 2 Data = 6789
>
NOTE: There are no more members in this action group, so the system does not
prompt for more data values.
Display Support IDs
The Display Support feature lets you enter an ID (or name) for each PDC, DDC, FPDC, DGC
access code, and trunk, creating a database for use during system administration. For
systems with a Switched Loop Attendant Console (SLAC), it is essential that you enter this
information. For systems with a...

For example, if you select Main Menu item 5 (FPDC) and want to display active FPDCs,
You see:
> Action =
You enter 1 [ Return ] and see:
> Action = 1
c to continue list, anything else to abort

FPDC: Action = 1 Data = 6666

You enter C and see:
FPDC: Action = 1 Data = 7777
>
You enter C and see:
FPDC: Action = 1 Data = 8888
>
You enter C and see:
FPDC: Action = 1 Data = 9999
>
You enter C and see:
P16: END OF LIST
FPDC: Action = 1 Data = 0

NOTE: You may also “abort” the list by typing a, d, or m....

Removing Ports
When (under Port or PDC on the Main Menu) you try to remove a port from the system,
there are several kinds of associations you may want to investigate before you remove that
port from the system. These associations (for example, the appearance of a trunk on several
station buttons or an external alert associated with a station) are called blocks. System 25
generates warning messages about these blocks so you do not perform an administration
function that goes beyond your intent. For each...

System Responses
During an administration session, there are occasions when you may enter inappropriate
information at a prompt. While System 25 does not catch all input errors, it does catch many
of them. System 25 has three means of responding to incorrect input.
n    Error messages
n    Print messages
n    Warnings
Error Messages
Error messages appear in the following general form:
Error nnnn[Where nnnn is a number]
aaaaa aaaa[Where aaaaa aaaa is a message]
A second level of help is also available. If...

5To request additional help on this error message, type ?
The second level error message is followed by a new
prompt.
Error 7012
PDC already exists
Data =
The system continues to prompt for correct data.
Print Messages
This kind of message is straightforward—it conveys information. A print message does not
describe an error condition.
A print message appears at the end of certain search lists. For example, if you enter the
Search option (item 8 from the Main Menu) and search the table of most recent...

Initializing the System
This section outlines the procedure for administering initial system translations (initializing the
system).
To initialize the system, you must know the desired configuration. The System 25
implementation forms contain all the information necessary to initialize the system; they also
form the basis for system Administration Records. These forms should be properly organized
in the Administration Records Binder.
As the system is initialized, it is essential that you write all port...

Initialization Sequence
Begin with a Cold Start
When you administer the initial translations, it is important that you begin from a known
condition. You can establish a known condition by forcing a cold start (Menu 9, Action=20,
Data=1 or 2). As explained in the previous section, a full default cold start (which takes
about 3 minutes) causes the system to check all slots for valid CP types and assign default
translations to all ports (except auxiliary trunk ports). A limited default cold start, which...
