Administrable Loss Plan
Description
Capacity Constraints and Feature Limitations
This feature provides for dynamic administration of loss levels per station.  If 
singing connections are the problem, use the feature to add more loss. If users 
complain about being unable to hear each other clearly, use the feature to add 
more gain.  At any time, system administrators can reset the PBX to the default 
loss values by changing the Customize? fields back to n, and resubmitting the 
system-parameters country-options form.
The following types of endpoints, although they do have extension numbers, are 
not true stations.  This feature does not assign loss per these:

The Administrable Loss Plan feature requires R8 software, and is available on all 
offer categories and all hardware platforms.  But, it is available only if the new 
Digital Loss Plan Modifications? field on the system parameters-
customer options form is set to y. This screen (shown below) allows access to 
features purchased by customers. An authorized Lucent Technologies 
representative sets these parameters for you.

Hardware Restrictions
An installer using this feature should make sure that tie trunk groups do not 
contain a mix of TN439 ports and por ts on other analog trunk circuit packs.  While 
such a tie trunk group could be used, the transmission levels on calls placed over 
such a group would vary by a few dB from call to call, depending on which circuit 
pack type a particular call happened to use. Valid entries Usage

Valid entries Usage
0 - 99The higher the number listed for a call with a fixed display number of 
parties, the more loss the switch adds into a conference call with 
that number of parties; therefore, the conference call is quieter.
Valid entries Usage
-3 - 15An unsigned number is a loss, while a number preceded with a 
minus sign is a gain.

QSIG Call Independent Signaling Connection
 (CISC) Enhancements 
 
nProvides the user with the capability to transport QSIG operation 
information independent of an active call, between two QSIG compliant 
nodes.
nQSIG CISCs are similar to the DEFINITY NCA TSCs (Non Call Associated 
Temporary Signaling Connections) except that QSIG CISCs is established 
on demand, not via a permanent administered connection interface.
— QSIG PRI and BRI Trunk  interfaces. 
nQSIG Call Independent Signaling Connections (CISCs) are defined in ISO/
IEC 11582 
— Call Completion
— Message Waiting
nThe per system maximum of NCA TSCs.
— On a per Signaling Group basis, administrable maximum of NCA 
TSCs that can be established so no one signaling group may use up 
all of the NCA TSCs.
Administration
Feature-Related System Parameters Form  
nTo facilitate processing of a CISC, a global extension is applicable to all 
CISCs. 
— Unrestricted COR and the highest level of COS
nNot a real extension that can be called or dialed.
NOTE:
The administration for this extension is not tied to Basic Supplementary 
Services? enabled on the system-parameters customer-options form. The 
extension may be administered, prior to any intended CISC transport.
nSupport field QSIG TSC Extension: in the ISDN PARAMETERS section. 
nValues according to the Dial Plan.
nThe Unrestricted COR and COS are associated with the extension so a 
CISC can be routed at a Transit or Terminating PBX without requiring 
authorization. 
nUsers get Intercept treatment if this extension is called directly.

Signaling Group Form
nAll existing fields on page 1 apply to CISCs. 
nThe signaling group form page 1 has a field Supplementary Service 
Protocol: which may be set to a (national protocol, including AT&T) or b 
(QSIG). 
— Field determines whether AT&T NCA TSCs or QSIG CISCs are sent 
over the interface. 
— Because CISCs are on demand only, pages 2-5 of the form for 
administered connections do not apply to CISCs.
nBRI Trunk CISC administration via the  BRI Trunk Board form. 
— AT&T TSCs not  supported over BRI Trunk D-Channels. 
nMax NCA TSC column controls the maximum number of CISCs that a 
particular BRI Trunk D-channel may carry. 
nIf a signaling groups SS Protocol field is changed from a to b, the ISDN 
TSC Gateway Channel Assignment form must be checked first to make 
sure no NCA TSC on the signaling group form is administered as a 
Gateway Channel.
— Users must remove the NCA TSC Gateway assignment first before 
the signaling groups SS Protocol field may be changed to b.
nIf a signaling groups Supplementary Service Protocol: is set to b, it is 
an implementation option to either block administration for pages 2 through 
5 or to not show pages 2 through 5. Feature-Related System Parameters form
