DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Managing phones 47 Using TTI to move phones 3 Instructions TTI merge from a voice TTI port !CAUTION: You can destroy your hardware if you attempt to connect an analog telephone to a digital port. To merge an extension to a telephone with TTI, complete the following steps from the telephone you want to merge: 1. Dial the TTI merge FAC. — If the code is correct, you receive dial tone. — If the code is not correct, you receive intercept tone. 2. Dial the TTI security code from the telephone you want to merge. — If the code is correct, you receive dial tone. — If the code is not correct, you receive intercept tone. 3. Dial the extension of the telephone you want to merge. — If the extension is valid, you receive confirmation tone, which may be followed by dial tone. (It is possible to receive intercept tone immediately following the confirmation tone. If this happens, you need to attempt the merge again.) — If the extension is valid, but the extension is being administered, you receive reorder tone. Try the merge again later. — If the extension is invalid, you receive intercept tone. — If the system is busy and cannot complete the merge, you receive reorder tone. Try the merge again later. — If the telephone has a download status of pending, you receive reorder tone. You need to change the download status to complete to successfully complete the TTI merge.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Managing phones 48 Using TTI to move phones 3 TTI separation from a telephone To complete a TTI separation, complete the following steps from the telephone that needs to be separated: 1. Dial the TTI separate FAC. 2. Dial the TTI security code. — If the code is correct, you receive dial tone. — If the code is not correct, you receive intercept tone. 3. Dial the extension of the telephone to be separated. — If you have dialed the extension of the telephone currently merged with this telephone, you receive confirmation tone. — If you have dialed the extension of the telephone currently merged with this telephone, but the extension is being administered, you receive reorder tone. Try the separation again later. — If you have not dialed the extension of the telephone currently merged with this telephone, you receive intercept tone. — If the system is busy and cannot complete the separation, you receive reorder tone. Try the separation again later. Fixing problems If you are having difficulty using TTI, you may want to review the following system restrictions: nThe TTI Ports field on the System Capacity screen shows the number of TTI ports used in a switch. This field shows only the number of TTI ports being administered. If a TTI exceeds the maximum number of ports, the port is not administered and cannot be added. In that case, a telephone cannot be added. BRI endpoints are only counted as one TTI port. For example, for every two BRI endpoints, one TTI port is counted. As such, you can have two telephones assigned to one port. If either endpoint is administered, the TTI port count is reduced by 1. nThe total number of translated telephones and Voice TTI ports in a system is limited to the maximum number of administered telephones supported in the system. The total number of translated data terminals and Data TTI ports in a system is limited to the maximum number of administered data modules allowed in the system. nSet the TTI State field to voice and then set the TTI State field to data. When you use this order, voice and then data, you reduce the chance of a user trying to use TTI on a data-only terminal that does not have TTI port
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Managing phones 49 Removing phones 3 translation. This can happen when the number of telephones allowed by the system is twice the number of data terminals. For example, if the system limit for telephones is 15,000 and 7,500 for data, then when TTI was turned on for data first, only the first 7,500 unadministered ports would get TTI port translations. nWhen TTI is activated for the system, the following actions take place: — If the TTI State field was previously activated but in a different state (such as, a voice to data state), the old TTI translations are removed and the new ones added on a board by board basis. — If the TTI State field is set to voice, then default TTI translations are generated for every unadministered port on all digital, hybrid, and analog boards. — If the TTI State field is set to data, then default TTI translations are generated for every unadministered port on all digital and data line boards in the system. — Whenever a new digital board is inserted when the system is in TTI Data mode, or when a digital, hybrid, or analog board is inserted when the system is in TTI Voice mode, the unadministered ports on the board become TTI ports. — When TTI is deactivated, all translation for the TTI ports are removed in the system; the ports return to an unadministered state. Removing phones Before you physically remove a phone from your system, check the phone’s status, remove it from any group or usage lists, and then delete it from the system’s memory. For example, to remove a phone at extension 1234: 1. Type status station 1234 and press RETURN. The General Status screen appears. 2. Make sure that the phone: nis plugged into the jack nis idle (not making or receiving calls) nhas no messages waiting nhas no active buttons (such as Send All Calls or Call Forwarding)
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Managing phones 50 Removing phones 3 3. Type list groups-of-extension 1234 and press RETURN. The Extension Group Membership screen shows whether the extension is a member of any groups on the system. 4. Press CANCEL. 5. If the extension belongs to a group, access the group screen and delete the extension from that group. For example, if extension 1234 belongs to pickup group 2, type change pickup group 2 and delete the extension from the list. 6. Type list usage extension 1234 and press RETURN. The Usage screen shows whether the extension is used in any vectors, has any bridged appearances, or used as a controller. 7. Press CANCEL. 8. If the extension appears on the Usage screen, access the appropriate feature screen and delete the extension. For example, if extension 1234 is bridged onto extension 1235, type change station 1235 and remove the appearances of 1234. 9. Type change station 1234 and press RETURN. 10. Delete any bridged appearances or personal abbreviated dialing entries and press ENTER. 11. Type remove station 1234 and press RETURN. The system displays the station screen for this phone so you can verify that you are removing the correct phone. Tip: Be sure to record the port assignment for this jack in case you want to use it again later. 12. If this is the correct phone, press ENTER. If the system responds with an error message, the phone is busy or still belongs to a group. Press CANCEL to stop the request, correct the problem, and enter remove station 1234 again. 13. Remove the extension from voice mail service if the extension has a voice mailbox. 14. Type save translations and press RETURN to save your changes. Note that you do not need to delete the extension from coverage paths. The system automatically adjusts coverage paths to eliminate the extension.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Managing phones 51 Adding a fax or modem 3 Now you can unplug the set from the jack and store it for future use. You do not need to disconnect the wiring at the cross-connect field. The extension and port address remain available for assignment at a later date. Once you successfully remove a set, that set is permanently erased from system memory. If you want to reactivate the set, you have to add it again as though it were a new phone. Adding a fax or modem Connecting a fax machine or modem to your system is similar to adding a phone, with a few important exceptions. If you have not added a phone, you may want to read ‘‘ Adding new phones’’ on page 37. Because the system does recognize the concept of “fax” or “modem,” you need to administer these items as basic analog stations. You can merely use the supported station type 2500 (analog, single line). Alternatively, you can create aliases to the 2500 for fax machines and modems. If you want to be able to create reports that indicate which stations are faxes or modem, you should create aliases for these items. For more information about aliasing, refer to ‘‘ Using an alias’’ on page 42. For this example, let’s assume that we have already defined an alias for ‘fax’ as a 2500 and that we now want to add a fax machine to extension 4444. To add a fax machine as extension 444, complete the following steps: 1. Type add station 4444 and press RETURN. 2. In the Type field, type fax. 3. In the Port field, type the port address. 4. In the Name field, type a name to associate with this fax. 5. Move to the Data Restriction field and type y. Entering y in this field prevents calls to and from this extension from being interrupted by tone signals. This is important for fax machines and modems as these signals can disrupt transmissions of data. 6. In the Distinctive Audible Alert field, type n. This eliminates the distinct 2-burst ring for external calls, which often interferes with the auto-answer function on fax machines or modems. 7. Press ENTER to save your changes.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1 April 2000 Managing phones 52 Adding a DEFINITY IP Softphone 3 Adding a DEFINITY IP Softphone DEFINITY IP Softphones enable the end user to control telephone calls directly from a personal computer (PC). An end user can log into your company’s DEFINITY server remotely and make and receive telephone calls from the telephone extension. DEFINITY IP Softphone supports the following two configurations: nroad-warrior application You typically use this configuration for laptop users who are travelling. In this configuration, the PC LAN connection carries both the call control signaling and the voice path. Because voice calls are routed over the connection to the PC, you’ll need an H.323 v2 PC audio application such as Microsoft ® NetMeeting® as well as a headset connected to the PC to speak and hear sounds. ntelecommuter application or CentreVu IP agent For the telecommuter or CentreVu IP configuration, you make two separate connections to the DEFINITY server. The signaling path is carried over an IP network and the voice path is carried over the standard circuit-switched telephone network (PSTN). Since you are using a phone for audio, you do not need an H.323 PC audio application. The telecommuter configuration uses the DEFINITY IP Softphone interface (on the user’s PC) and a standard phone. The CentreVu IP agent configuration uses the CentreVu IP Agent interface (on the agent’s PC) and a call center phone, such as a CallMaster. Before you start Be sure that your system has been enabled to use IP Softphones. Display the System Parameters Customer-Options screen and verify the following field settings: nMaximum H.323 Stations is greater than 0 nMaximum IP Softphones is greater than 0 nIP Stations field is y Once you’re finished administering your DEFINITY system, you need to install the IP Softphone software on each user’s PC. If you are using the road-warrior configuration, you also need to install an H.323 v2 compliant audio software application, such as Microsoft NetMeeting.

Instructions for adding a road-warrior
application
You can use the road-warrior application when you have only a single telephone
line available to access the DEFINITY system over the IP network.
Let’s add a road-warrior application at extension 3001. You have to actually
administer two extensions for each road-warrior application, so we will first add
an H.323 extension at 3000.
To assign an H.323 extension, complete the following steps:
1. Type
add station 3000 and press RETURN.
The Station screen appears.
2. In the Type field, enter
H.323.
3. In the Port field, enter
x.
4. Press
ENTER to save your work.
Now, you need to administer the phone (DCP) extension. To do so, complete the
following steps:
1. Type
add station 3001 and press RETURN.
The Station
screen appears. Note that you choose to change an existing
DCP extension by using
change station nnnn in this step, where nnnn is
the existing DCP extension.
