DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Screen reference 747 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 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 1.1 June 2000 Screen reference 748 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. 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
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Screen reference 749 IP Trunk Configuration Manager 17 QoS ParametersnSampling Interval (sec): Allows you to specify how often the quality of service to the highlighted line pool’s remote IP address will be checked. Valid values: 1 to 300 (seconds). nSamples to Average (number): Allows you to specify the number of samples to average together when evaluating the quality of service to this remote site. Valid values: 5 to 1500. nPacket Loss Threshold (%): Allows you to specify the acceptable level of percentage of packets lost when evaluating the quality of service to this remote site. When the PSTN Fallback option is set and the threshold reaches high, the DEFINITY ECS application disables all the lines in this pool. This causes subsequent calls to be routed over the PSTN (assuming the switch is correctly configured), instead of the IP network. nLow: Valid values: 0 to 100. nHigh: Valid values: 0 to 100. nRound Trip Delay Threshold (msec.): Allows you to specify the acceptable level of round trip delay in milliseconds when evaluating the quality of service to this remote site. nLow: Valid values: 10 to 1500. nHigh: Valid values: 10 to 1500. The algorithm for the Packet Loss Threshold and Round Trip Delay Threshold evaluations works as follows: nIf either high value is exceeded, the line pool is blocked. nAfter the averaged evaluation is below both of the low values, the line pool is unblocked. Add Allows you to add line pools. Remove Allows you to remove line pools. Edit Allows you to edit line pools. Clear All Clears all the information from the Line Pools section of the QoS dialog box.

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Screen reference 750 ISDN trunk group 17 Related topics Refer to DEFINITY ECS Administration for Network Connectivity for administration procedures. Refer to ‘‘ IP trunk service’’ on page 1393 for detailed information on this feature. ISDN trunk group This screen assigns an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) trunk group that supports the ISDN and Call-by-Call Service Selection service selection features. The trunk group provides end-to-end digital connectivity and supports a wide range of services including voice and non-voice services, to which users have access by a limited set of CCITT-defined, standard multipurpose interfaces. The ISDN trunk group may contain ISDN-PRI or ISDN-BRI interfaces. However, it is not possible to use the two types of interfaces in the same trunk groups. The type of interface is chosen when the trunk members are assigned to the trunk group. When ISDN-PRI interfaces are used on ISDN trunk groups, they may also be used to support the Wideband Switching feature. This is intended to work with the H0 (384 Kbps), H11 (1536 Kbps), H12 (1920 Kbps), and NXDS0 (128 to 1984 Kbps) data services, and to support high-speed video conferencing and data applications. Administration commands When an ISDN trunk connects two switches, set the trunk options identically at both ends of the connection, with the exception of the Trunk Hunt fields. When ISDN-PRI interfaces are used, it is acceptable for both ends to have the Trunk Hunt fields administered as cyclical, but if one end is administered as ascend, the other end must be administered as descend. This helps avoid the possibility of glare conditions. When ISDN-BRI is used, the Trunk Hunt field has to be cyclical.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Screen reference 751 ISDN trunk group 17 Hardware requirements ISDN-BRI interfaces are supported by the TN2185 Trunk-side BRI circuit pack (for implementing the user side of the BRI interface) and by the TN556B or TN556C ISDN-BRI Line circuit pack or the TN2198 ISDN BRI (U-LT) Line circuit pack (for the network side of the BRI interface). The TN2464 circuit supports T1 and E1 digital facilities. ISDN-PRI interfaces are supported by the TN767 circuit pack (for assignment of a T1 signaling link and up to 24 ISDN-PRI trunk group members), or the TN464C or later circuit pack (for assignment of a T1 or E1 signaling link and up to 24 or 31 ISDN-PRI trunk group members, respectively). The TN2464 and TN2207 circuit pack can also be used with ISDN-PRI. nFor R7si and later configurations and R7csi and later configurations, the D-channel for ISDN-PRI interfaces switches through either the TN765 Processor Interface (PI) circuit pack or the TN778 Packet Control (PACCON) circuit pack. The D-channel for ISDN-BRI interfaces only switches through the TN778 Packet Control (PACCON) circuit pack. NOTE: You cannot use the TN765 circuit pack with ISDN-BRI interfaces. nFor R7r and later configurations, the D-channel switches through the TN1655 Packet Interface (PKTINT) circuit pack. nA TN780 or TN2182 Tone Clock circuit pack provides synchronization for the DS1 circuit pack. NOTE: The TN767 cannot be used to carry the D-channel if either the TN778 (PACCON) or TN1655 (PKTINT) circuit packs are used to switch the D-channel. However, in these circumstances, the TN767 can be used for NFAS interfaces carrying only B-channels.

Assign all fields as required. nDS1 Circuit Pack — This screen is required if using ISDN-PRI interfaces. — DS1 (T1) Circuit Pack Assign all fields as required. For Facility Associated Signaling, up to 23 ports are available for administration as trunk members in an associated ISDN-PRI trunk group. The 24th port is used as a signaling channel. For Non-Facility Associated Signaling, all 24 ports may be used on certain DS1 circuit packs. The D-channel signaling function for these packs must be provided by a designated DS1 pack on its 24th channel. — E1 Circuit Pack Assign all fields as required. For Facility Associated Signaling, up to 30 ports are available for administration as trunk members in an associated ISDN-PRI trunk group. Port number 16 is used as a signaling channel. nMaintenance-Related System-Parameters — Use this screen only for a TN778. Set the Packet Bus Maint field to y. nISDN Trunk Group — Enter information in all the fields except the trunk group members. When using ISDN-PRI interfaces, enter the members after you establish the signaling links. nSignaling Group — This screen is required if ISDN-PRI interfaces are used. Complete all fields. This screen identifies groups of ISDN-PRI DS1 interface B-channels for which a given D-channel (or D-channel pair) will carry the associated signaling information (supports the Facility and Non-Facility Associated Signaling feature). Each DS1 board that is required to have a D-channel must be in a different signaling group by itself (unless D-channel backup is needed, in which case a second DS1 is administered as a backup D-channel). You are not required to select a channel for a trunk group, but if you do, you must have already defined the trunk group as type ISDN. NOTE: The following three screens, Processor Interface Data Module, Communication Interface Links, and Communication Processor Channel Assignment are used only to support the ISDN-PRI interfaces using PI TN765.
