CHAPTER 10
Establishing a Serial Integration
Some phone systems require you to establish a serial integration between the
messaging system and the phone switch. The Serial Integration utility takes proprietary
information sent from the phone system through the PC’s serial port, interprets it, and
passes it to the system. Because Serial Integration is an optional utility, the sentinel
controls access to it.
There are two types of...

  Procedures in this chapter assume that the hard driv e on which the system is installed is
driv e C, that an additional hard driv e that may be installed is D, that the disk driv e is A,
and that the CD-ROM driv e, if installed, is F. Driv e designations on the specific PC on
which you are working may v ary. Confirm the appropriate driv e letters, when...

installing, click Continue or press . The installation program presents a list of
driv es from which you can select.
 
9.  Select the driv e to which the files should be installed. Use the down arrow key to
highlight the appropriate driv e, then click OK. (Driv es A and...

16.  Click Install to install the messaging system based on the selections.
  A small display appears to the left of the Disk Prompt window to show the

Configuring the Serial Integration Utility
Use the following procedure to configure the serial integration utility.
To configure the serial integration utility:
1.  During installation, select ICONFIG from the Installation Setup Utility. The values on
the ICONFIG dialog box depend on the system configuration and are strictly defined
if the messaging system connects directly to a Central...

CO. The messaging system does not use this field if you are using an RS-232
integration.
11. To complete the Port ID’s fields, see the Configuration Note for the switch connected
to the messaging system.
12.  To sav e the port assignments, click OK.
13.  Click OK to accept the settings and close the ICONFIG dialog box.
You can change the ICONFIG or Port ID settings at any time. To...

If the messaging system finds a match to one of the Target Prefix Strings:
1.  The call is considered an internal call.
2.  The mailbox number is extracted by remov ing the Number of Digits in a Mailbox
Number, specified in System Setup, starting from the right.
3.  The extracted mailbox number is then passed to the messaging system with the
correct integration code—in this case, the...

10.  To close the OS/2 window, type EXIT 
and press .
11.  To load the file, shut down OS/2 and restart the PC. W hen the Serial Integration
driv er is loaded during bootup, the SMDI.TPT file is loaded into memory and the
Target Prefix Strings are used to compare against the incoming strings to determine
if the dialing number is internal or external. If the file is not found, a warning...

·  The system compares [113]6789 to the last entry in SMDI.TPT [113
] and finds a
match. The four digits for the mailbox (6789) are extracted and passed to the
system as an automatic station login for mailbox 6789.
  W hile there can be duplicate extension numbers on a single system (multiple prefixes
with the same extension number), mailbox numbers must be unique. For example, while...

  W hen the system sends a message indicator request, the mailbox number portion of the
string is compared to the Starting and Ending Mailbox Numbers defined in the
SMDI.PFX file:
·  If a match is found, the mailbox number and prefix combination is placed in a
Centrex message indicator packet and sent across the serial port.
·  If no match is found, the current message indicator prefix...
