DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Screen reference 739 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 PortsnPort Number: Allows you to specify the ports that you want to enable or disable by entering the port number, and selecting the Enable or Disable option button in the Status control group. 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. 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. Parameter Description Continued on next page

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Screen reference 743 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.

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 1.1 June 2000 Screen reference 745 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.
