DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1547 Terminal Translation Initialization 20 nUniform Dial Plan If a Uniform Dial Plan is in place between switches, tenant partition identification is not passed between the switches, and so tenant-partition restrictions are not enforced between the switches without special administration. NOTE: Tenant Partitioning restrictions do not override COR restrictions. COR restrictions are independent of tenant partitions. Terminal Translation Initialization Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI) allows you to merge an x-ported extension to a valid port by dialing a system-wide TTI security code and the extension from a telephone connected to that port. TTI also allows you to separate an extension from its port by dialing a similar separate digit sequence. This action causes the extension to be administered as an X port. When TTI is enabled for voice, all voice ports (except Basic Rate Interface (BRI) ports) become TTI ports or ports from which a TTI merge sequence can occur. TTI is usually used to move phones, however, it also supports connecting and moving attendants, data modules, voice/data telephones, and ISDN-BRI telephones. Attendants In order for attendants to use TTI, you must assign an extension to the attendant console. TTI port translations are the same for digital telephones and attendant consoles. To merge a digital TTI voice port and an attendant, you must first administer the attendant as an X port. Then a digital telephone must be plugged into the jack assigned to the attendant console, and the TTI merge digit sequence must be entered on the digital telephone. Once the TTI merge has been completed for the attendant console, the digital telephone must be unplugged and the attendant plugged into the jack. An attendant console can be separated from its port only through administration. A TTI separate request from an attendant console gives the user intercept treatment.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1548 Terminal Translation Initialization 20 Data modules Data modules have different tones and digit sequences. In the merge and separate control flow, different tones are given to the telephone user to give the current status of the TTI operation. Instead of audible tones, status messages are displayed on a telephone connected to a data module when activating the TTI sequence through keyboard dialing. If the TTI State field is set to data, you see the data display messages. If the TTI State field is set to voice, you hear the tones. For a stand alone data module, the TTI merge/separate digit sequence is entered in one line at a dial prompt: nDIAL: Separate prompts are not given for the TTI security code and extension. Voice/data telephones A telephone with a data terminal (DTDM) is treated as a telephone in the TTI merge and separation sequence. The DTDM is merged with and separated from its hardware translation at the same time the telephone is merged or separated. The TTI merge and separate sequence can only be initiated through the telephone for DTDMs; it cannot be initiated through the data port. ISDN BRI telephones The TTI separation sequence for Automatic-TEI SPID-initializing BRI telephones is identical to the sequence used for telephones. However, the merge sequence is different. nSeparation sequence 1. Feature Access Code 2. Security Code 3. Extension nMerge sequence 1. Connect the telephone to any port to get power. 2. Program the SPID to the extension with which it will be merged. 3. Unplug the telephone (this is necessary even if the telephone is connected to its intended port).
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1549 Terminal Translation Initialization 20 4. Connect the telephone to its intended port (this port should indicate Equipment Type: TTI Port). 5. Receive dial tone. — If there is dial tone, the merge is complete. — If there is no dial tone, the telephone’s SPID is not an available extension. You can dial the TTI merge sequence for BRI sets only if a user separates a BRI extension from its set and then wants to undo the process by reassociating the set to the same extension. Note that you cannot use the SAT to put an X in the port field of a BRI set that is still connected to the switch. You must use the TTI separation sequence from the set. Analog Queue Warning Ports and External Alert Ports The analog queue warning port (used for hunt groups) and the external alert port may be administered with an X in the Port field. These extensions can be merged to an analog port via TTI. The merge must be done by an analog set, and then the analog set is unplugged from the port. These extensions cannot be separated from their port location with the TTI feature. A TTI separate request from one of these ports gives you intercept treatment. Security measures !SECURITY ALERT: If you do not manage this feature carefully, its unauthorized use may cause you security problems. For example, someone who knows the TTI security code could disrupt normal business functions by separating telephones or data terminals. You can help protect against this action by frequently changing the TTI security code. You can further enhance system security by removing the Feature Access Code (FAC) from the system when it does not need to be used (for example, there are no moves going on at present). Consult the BCS Systems Security Handbook for additional steps to secure your system and find out about obtaining information regularly about security developments. Interactions n10-MET, 20-MET, 30-MET phones You cannot use TTI to change 10-MET, 20-MET, or 30-MET phones.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1550 Terminal Translation Initialization 20 nAttendant It is possible to have the attendant in Position Available Mode and still separate. Any calls queued, held, or seen as active for the attendant prevent separation. nAttendant Night Service The night service station cannot be separated while in night service. nAttendant Release Loop Operation If the attendant separates before the attendant-timed reminder-interval expires, all calls held with the release loop operation by the attendant are reclassified as attendant group calls. nAutomatic Callback If a telephone has Automatic Callback active for another telephone, executing TTI separate for either telephone breaks the automatic callback sequence. nCall Coverage If a telephone separates while Send All Calls or Goto Coverage is active, these features remain active while the telephone has no associated hardware. You can separate a telephone that is the target of Send All Calls or Goto Coverage; the features function as if the telephone were busy. nCall Coverage Answer Group If a extension was an X port, then rejoins the group as a result of a TTI merge, a PSA associate, or a port assignment, that telephone is excluded from all transactions already active in the call coverage answer group. nCall Forwarding A telephone can separate while Call Forwarding is active. If a destination extension for call forwarding separates, Call Forwarding to that extension remains active. Calls forwarded while the telephone is separated hear a busy signal. nCall Pickup If a line appearance is available, a member of a call pickup group may separate at any time. If a call is attempting to terminate, and a member of a group associates, that member does not join the group for the call that is currently in progress, but is available for all subsequent calls to that group.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1551 Terminating Extension Group 20 nExpert Agent Selection Station user records cannot be shared between TTI ports and EAS login ID extensions. This reduces the number of possible TTI ports your system provides, depending on the number of administered EAS login IDs. For example, if you administer 2,000 EAS login IDs, the maximum number of TTI ports that the system can provide is reduced by 2,000. nHunt Group Uniform Call Distribution/Direct Department Calling The system excludes telephones previously X-ported as a result of a TTI separate, a PSA dissociate, or administration from all transactions already active in the hunt group when the telephone is merged. nSite Data If Terminal Translation Initialization is enabled, a warning message displays when you tab off the Site Data fields. If Terminal Translation Initialization is enabled, and you change the Port field on the Station screen from “x” to a real port number and change the Room, Jack, or Cable fields in the Site Data section, a warning message displays when you tab off the fields. nTerminating Extension Group If any member of the TEG (that was previously an X port as a result of TTI, PSA or telephone administration) is merged, that member is excluded from all transactions already taking place in the TEG when that member is merged. The member is able to join in all subsequent calls to the group. Related topics For more information about configuring the TTI system-wide fields, refer to ‘‘ Feature-Related System Parameters’’ on page 632. For more information about setting the TTI feature access codes, refer to ‘‘ Feature Access Code’’ on page 619. Terminating Extension Group A Terminating Extension Group (TEG) allows an incoming call to ring as many as 4 phones at one time. Any user in the group can answer the call.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1552 Terminating Extension Group 20 Detailed description You can administer any phone as a TEG member; however, only a multiappearance phone can be assigned a TEG button with merged-status lamp. The TEG button allows the user to select a TEG call appearance for answering or bridging onto an existing call but not for call origination. When a TEG members answers an incoming call, a temporary bridged appearance is maintained at the multiappearance phones in the group. However, this appearance is not visible. Any TEG members can bridge onto the call by pressing the TEG button. Considerations nA phone user can be a member of more than one TEG, but can have only one TEG button for each group. nA TEG can handle only one TEG call at a time. Additional calls do not reach the TEG. If a coverage path is assigned to the TEG, the additional calls route accordingly. Interactions nAutomatic Callback This feature cannot be active for a TEG. nBridged Call Appearance Calls to a TEG cannot be bridged, except via a Temporary Bridged Appearance. nCall Coverage A TEG can have a Call Coverage path assigned, but cannot be a point in a Call Coverage path. A Send Term button for the TEG can be assigned to group members who have multiappearance phones. When a user presses Send Term, calls to the TEG redirect to coverage. The merged status lamp lights on all phones with a Send Term button. Any member with a Send Term button can deactivate Send Term by pressing the button. Incoming calls are directed to the group. nCall Park A TEG call cannot be parked on the group extension. However, a group member answering a call can park a TEG call on their own extension. nDirect Department Calling and Uniform Call Distribution A TEG cannot be a member of a DDC or UCD group.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1553 Time of Day Routing 20 nInternal Automatic Answer TEG calls are not eligible for Internal Automatic Answer; however, calls placed to an individual extension are eligible. nLeave Word Calling Leave Word Calling messages can be stored for a TEG and can be retrieved by a member of the group, a covering user of the group, or a system-wide message retriever. Phone Display and proper authorization can be assigned to the message retriever. Also, a remote Automatic Message Waiting lamp can be assigned to a group member to provide a visual indication that a message has been stored for the group. One indicator is allowed per TEG. nPrivacy — Manual Exclusion Privacy — Manual Exclusion can be assigned to any of the phones in a TEG to prohibit bridging by other group members. A TEG member who attempts to bridge onto a call with Privacy — Manual Exclusion active is dropped. nTemporary Bridged Appearance At multiappearance phones in the TEG, a temporary bridged appearance is maintained after a call is answered. Thus, other members of the group can bridge onto the call. Related topics Refer to ‘‘ Terminating Extension Group’’ on page 959 for information about and fields descriptions on the Terminating Extension Group screen. Refer to ‘‘ Station’’ on page 882 for information on button assignments. Refer to ‘‘ Assigning a terminating extension group’’ on page 170 for instructions. Time of Day Routing You can use Time of Day Routing to select route patterns for calls according to the time of day and day of the week. You need to define the route pattern you want to use before you set up time of day routing. You can route calls based on the least expensive route, and you can deny outgoing long-distance calls after business hours to help prevent toll fraud. You can use partition groups to assign different time of day route plans for different groups of users.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1554 Transfer 20 Automatic Alternate Routing (AAR) or Automatic Route Selection (ARS) must be administered on your switch before you use Time of Day Routing. Time of Day Routing applies to all AAR or ARS outgoing calls and trunks used for call forwarding to external numbers. Interactions nDCS Be careful when you make Time of Day Routing assignments in a DCS environment. The user’s COR Time of Day Plan Number determines whether or not the call is routed to a DCS trunk group. The call loses feature transparency if it is not routed to a DCS trunk group. When a call routes over a DCS trunk, the switch at the far end routes the call according to the COR Time of Day Plan Number of the incoming trunk. nRemote Access When remote access is used and an authorization code or barrier code is dialed for an AAR or ARS call, the COR Time of Day Plan Number of the barrier code or authorization code is used to route the call. Related topics nRefer to ‘‘Setting up time of day routing’’ on page 194 for information on setting up Time of Day routing. nRefer to ‘‘Defining ARS Partitions’’ on page 191 if you want to set up different Time of Day routing for different partition groups. nRefer to ‘‘Automatic routing — general’’ on page 1167 for information on AAR and ARS Transfer Transfer allows telephone users to transfer trunk or internal calls to other telephones or trunks without attendant assistance. Considerations nYou can administer transferred-trunk calls to receive either music or silence if the first part of the transfer places the call on hold. nMulti-appearance telephones must have an idle appearance to transfer a call.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1555 Transfer 20 nSingle-line telephone users momentarily flash the switchhook or press the RECALL button, dial the desired extension, and hang up. Multi-appearance telephone users press the TRANSFER button, dial the desired extension, and press the TRANSFER button again. nIf, on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen, the Transfer Upon Hang-up field is y, users can transfer a call by pressing the TRANSFER button, dialing the desired extension, and then hanging up. The user can hang up while the desired extension is ringing or after the party has picked up. The user also can still press the TRANSFER button a second time to complete the transfer process. nIf, on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen, the Abort Transfer field is y, users can abort the transfer a call by pressing the TRANSFER button, dialing the desired extension, and then hanging up or selecting any non-idle call appearance. The user must press the Transfer button again to complete the process (see Note). If the user selects an idle call appearance, the transfer still is active. NOTE: If both the Abort Transfer and Transfer Upon Hang-Up fields are y and you press the TRANSFER button and then dial the complete transfer-to number, hanging up the phone transfers the call. nUsers of DCP, Hybrid, and wireless phones can transfer a call on hold without removing the call from hold. If there is only one call on hold, no active call appearances, and an available call appearance for the transfer, the user can transfer the call simply by pressing the Transfer button. DEFINITY ECS assumes the transfer is for the call on hold, and the transfer feature works as usual. If there is more than one call on hold, the user must make a call active in order to transfer it. If the user presses the Transfer button with two or more calls on hold, DEFINITY ECS will ignore the transfer attempt since it will not know which call the user wants to transfer. If there are calls on hold and an active call, pressing the Transfer button will start the transfer process for the active call. nDEFINITY ECS can be administered to display a confirmation message to users upon successful call transfers. The confirmation message will only be visible to users with DCP, Hybrid, wireless (except for 9601), or ISDN-BRI display phones. All of these phones, except for the Hybrids, can display the confirmation message in English, Spanish, French, Italian, or a language you define. Hybrid phones only display the message in English. nYou can administer the system to return a transferred call to the originator if the transferred-to party does not answer within a set time limit. To do this, enter a value in the Station Call Transfer Recall Timer field on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Features and technical reference 1556 Transfer 20 Interactions nAttendant Conference This may not operate properly if the CO does not provide answer supervision. In that case, the Answer Supervision Timeout and Outgoing End of Dial fields (on the CO Trunk Group screen) must be set to the same non-zero number. The Receive Answer Supervision field must be set to n. If the CO does provide answer supervision, the Answer Supervision Timeout and Outgoing End of Dial field must be set to 0 and the Receive Answer Supervision field must be set to y. nBridged Call Appearance A bridged call appearance can be used to transfer calls. nCentreVu Agent CentreVu Agent supports the conference and transfer of calls on hold, but it does not display the confirmation message for transferred calls. nClass of Restriction Set the Block Transfer Display field on the COR screen to y if you do not want users to receive a confirmation message for call transfers. nIntegrated Services Digital Network Basic Rate Interface (ISDN-BRI) When an ISDN-BRI telephone, assigned with the Select Last Used Appearance field set to y, completes a transfer while off-hook using the handset, the user is left listening to dial tone on the last-used appearance. nInternal Automatic Answer Transferred calls can be answered automatically via IAA. nQSIG Networking If calls over an ISDN-PRI trunk are administered for Supplementary QSIG, then additional call information may display. nStation When a multifunction telephone dials enough digits to route a call, but the call could route differently if additional digits were dialed, the telephone does not recognize the Conference or Transfer buttons. The user must delay dialing for 3 seconds or dial # to indicate that the call can be routed based on the digits already dialed. The Conference or Transfer buttons then are recognized and the switch completes the operation.
