The maximum number of ports available is limited to the number of DEFINITY ECS licenses you purchased. By default, all ports from 1 to the maximum number are set to an active state (even if this exceeds the number of licenses you purchased). nShow All Ports: Displays a list of available ports in the telephony subsystem. If a port is a member of a line pool (refer to the QoS tab), a # sign appears next to its number in the list of all ports (even if the line pool is in an “idle” or “monitor only” mode). If a port is disabled, an asterisk (*) appears next to its number in the list of all ports. Continued on next page
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Screen reference 728 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 Telephony Advanced dialog box Use the Telephony Advanced dialog box to adjust additional telephony parameters. The Telephony Advanced dialog box contains the following parameters: Maximum Digits to Be CollectedAllows you to set the maximum number of digits that the IP trunk application will accept from the switch for an outgoing call. If this value is less than the number of digits actually forwarded by the PBX, the calls will not go through. !CAUTION: Set this field no higher than the maximum length of the digit string the switch sends. Otherwise, the IP trunk application waits several seconds for additional digits and users experience delays. Valid values: 0 to 30 Advanced Displays the Telephony Advanced dialog box, where you can set additional telephony parameters. Parameters Description Ring Count 10 to 32767 Allows you to set the number of rings before the DEFINITY ECS application hangs up because of a No Answer message. First Digit Time Out 2000 to 600,000 Allows you to set the first digit time-out interval in milliseconds for the DEFINITY ECS application. Inter Digit Time Out 2000 to 600,000 Allows you to set the inter digit time-out interval in milliseconds, which sets the time of arrival of subsequent dialed digits from the user. Wink Wait Time 1000 to 600,000 Allows you to set the maximum time to wait for the far end to wink for an outgoing call. Set to 0 if no wink is expected.

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Screen reference 731 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 The Internet dialog box contains the following parameters: Parameter Description Lucent Gateway ProtocolnSignaling Port: Displays the initial port number (5000) used for call setup. Display only. nSetup Time-out (ms): Allows you to set the number of milliseconds to wait before canceling a call attempt while trying to set up the Internet connection. If the call setup exceeds this threshold, the calling party will hear a fast busy signal. The call setup time probes network traffic conditions at the given instant. Exceeding the set threshold indicates that the network is congested and that good voice quality may not be possible on the Internet. Setting this parameter to a large value effectively lets all calls go through regardless of Internet traffic conditions. Setting this parameter too low unnecessarily restricts otherwise good calls. Generally, you should accept the default value of 8000. Valid values: 50 to 30000. nKeep Alive (sec): Allows you to set the number of seconds to wait before clearing a call if the remote switch does not respond. Valid values: 3 to 180. It is recommend that you use the default value (30 seconds). H.323 Protocol nSignaling Port: Displays the initial port number (1720) used for H.323 call setup. Display-only. nSetup Time-out (ms): Specifies the number of milliseconds to wait before canceling a call attempt while trying to set up the H.323 connection. Display-only. nKeep Alive (sec): Allows you to set the number of seconds to wait before clearing an H.323 call if no voice traffic is detected. Valid values: 10 to 86400. Enable GateKeeper Uses the gatekeeper subsystem of the DEFINITY ECS application to assist in H.323 dialing, rather than dialing directly. Display -only. Port Displays the initial port number (1719) that gatekeeper uses for H.323 call setup. Display-only. Setup Time-out (ms)Specifies the number of milliseconds to wait before canceling a call attempt while trying to set up the H.323 connection using gatekeeper. Display-only. IP Address Specifies the IP address of gatekeeper. Display-only. Continued on next page

Routing Info - Originating Dial Plan nEntry Type: Sets whether or not an outgoing call is accepted. Valid values: accept or reject. If you set this to reject, users cannot make outgoing calls over the DEFINITY ECS application. nLine Number: In non-DCS configurations, enter Any. For DCS networks, specify the trunk group number for calls that originate at this switch. The trunk group number must match the trunk group number at the terminating switch. nSearch Digits: Used for call routing. See the Dial/Routing Plan Worksheets. nReplace Digits: Used for call routing. See the Dial/Routing Plan Worksheets. nDestination Type: Sets the type of remote destination. Valid entries: ITS R1.0, ITS R1.2, and Netmeeting 2.1. nDestination IP: The IP address of the remote switch. nPort: Used to set the (remote destination) LAN port number. If the Destination Type is ITS R1.0 or ITS R1.2, the default is 5000. Do not change the default port number unless you are certain that the remote destination has different port settings to accept calls. Continued on next page
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Screen reference 733 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 Routing Info - Terminating Dial PlannEntry Type: Sets whether or not incoming calls are accepted. The default value is Accept. If you set this to Reject, then incoming calls are not accepted. nSearch Digits: See the Dial/Routing Plan Worksheets. nReplace Digits: See the Dial/Routing Plan Worksheets nLine Number: In non-DCS configurations, enter Any. For DCS networks, specify the trunk group number for calls that terminate at this switch. The trunk group number must match the trunk group number at the originating switch. . Routing Info - Access ControlIn Use For: nGateways: Use the access control entry being created when gateways (such as other DEFINITY ECS servers) attempt to make calls to this IP trunk server. nClient: Use the access control entry being created when clients (such as NetMeeting™ PCs) attempt to make calls to this switch. nGateway/Client: Specifies that the entry being created will be used for both switches and clients when they attempt to make calls to this switch. nIP Address: Specifies the IP address of the remote system (or subnet) that is being given access to this switch. nAddress Bits to Match: Specifies the number of bits (starting with the left-most or high-order bit) that are used to control access to this DEFINITY ECS application. A value of 32 limits access to the individual IP address entered. A value of 24 limits access to the 255 IP addresses in a class C IP address (in other words, a subnet). The range of values is 0 - 32. The default value is 32. When the Access Control list is empty, any IP address can send calls (access) to the local DEFINITY ECS application. Once a single entry exists in the list, only IP addresses explicitly specified in the list can access the local application. Add Allows you to add the names of DEFINITY ECS applications connected to your network. Allows you to add originating and terminating dial/routing plan information and access control information.

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Screen reference 734 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 Service Logs dialog box Use the Service Logs dialog box to configure service logging options for the DEFINITY ECS application. The Service Logs dialog box contains the following parameters: Remove Allows you to remove the name of an DEFINITY ECS application connected to your network. Allows you to remove originating and terminating dial/routing plan information and access control information. Edit Allows you to edit the names of remote DEFINITY ECS applications. Allows you to edit originating and terminating dial/routing plan information and access control information. Clear All Clears all information from the ITS-Servers section. It also clears all originating and terminating dial/routing plan information and access control information. Parameter Description Log File Directory Specifies the location of the DEFINITY ECS service log files. No New File Will Be Created When Free Disk Space ReachesAllows you to specify the minimum free disk space on drive D, which, when reached, will stop creation of service log files. Valid values: 10 to 1500 megabytes. Call Records Specify the on or off status of the call detail record logging. If you administer the CDR on the IP trunk server and you later want to turn it off, you have to edit a .ini file. Consider using the more flexible, standard DEFINITY ECS CDR instead. When this option is on, the DEFINITY ECS application logs call detail records into files. You can use a separate utility to produce statistical and call accounting reports from the logged data. See your Lucent representative for more information. Continued on next page Parameter Description Continued on next page
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Screen reference 735 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 QoS dialog box Use the Quality of Service (QoS) dialog box to configure the quality of service options for the DEFINITY ECS connections to remote sites. Error Messages Shows you that the logging of error or warning messages into the Windows NT Event Viewer is on. Display-only. When this option is on, you can use the Windows NT Event Viewer to view the reported errors and warnings. (In this release, the Log Properties option is not available for this log.) Performance StatisticsAllows you to turn logging of QoS (quality of service) statistics on or off. The statistics are logged into the Windows NT Performance Monitor. (In this release, the Log Properties option is not available for this log.) Log Properties Allows you to set the maximum log file size. Valid values: 1 to 100 (MB). When a log file reaches this setting, the DEFINITY ECS application will create a new log file. In addition, for the CDR log only, this properties window allows additional CDR file management. If this feature is checked, then a copy of the CDR file is maintained. This allows a remote client to retrieve the CDR records from the DEFINITY ECS application periodically, without affecting the operation of the application. This feature makes two additional parameters available: nWrite file every minutes: Specifies how often the copy file is refreshed. If the file doesn’t exist, then it is created. Valid values: 1 to 60. nLocation: Specifies the directory where the copy (alternate) CDR file is stored. Parameter Description Continued on next page
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Screen reference 736 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 The Quality of Service dialog box contains the following parameters: Parameter Description Line Pool ID Allows you to specify an integer between 1 and 999 that identifies a logical group (pool) of lines. The lines consist of trunk groups that emulate T1 (robbed-bit) or E1 (common-channel) channels. No ISDN connections can be placed in the trunk groups that make up line pools. This line pool is used to handle calls to a particular remote site. Highlight a Line Pool ID (number) and click on Properties (shows statistics): nIdle - do not monitor QoS nMonitor only - monitor QoS and do not take trunks out of service nMonitor - PSTN Fallback - monitor QoS and take trunks out of service if QoS is below thresholds Remote IP AddressAllows you to specify the IP address of the remote site whose calls will be handled by this pool. Lines in Pool Allows you to specify which trunk groups are members of this line pool. Continued on next page
