Table 12. Administer location procedure 
ÖStep Action Description
1.Activate the feature Type change system-parameters customer-options and 
press 
En te r. (Init password required.)
The Customer Options screen displays.
Go to screen 3 (Screen 11
).
2.Set multiple locations Change the value in the Multiple locations field to y 
and press 
En te r.
NOTE:
The system is limited to a sing le location unless this 
field is c hanged .
3.Verify feature 
activationType display system-parameters customer-options and 
press Enter.
The Customer Options screen displays (Screen 11
).
Go to screen 2 and verify that the Multiple locations 
field is set to y.
4.Change cabinet 
administrationType change cabinet n (cabinet number) and press En t e r.
The Cabinet screen displays (Screen 12
). 
5.Administer cabinet 
locationEach cabinet in the switch and the port network(s) in that 
cabinet must be assigned a location number (default 
location number is 1).
Change the Location field to the appropriate number and 
press 
En te r.
6.Administer location 
propertiesType change locations and press En te r. 
The Locations screen displays (Screen 13
).
7.Set timezone offset Ensure that the Timezone Offset field for 
Location 1 is set at 00:00, indicating the local time. This 
serves as a system-wide, relative time reference.
8.Set Number Plan 
Area CodeThe Number Plan Area Code field (for subnet trunking 
conversions between 10-digit North American Number Plan 
(NANP) and 7-digit (local) numbers.
Leaving the field blank is the normal setting for a location
noutside the NANP.
nwith no 7-digit local calling plan. These locations may 
have overlayed area codes requiring10-digit dialing.

9.Administer cabinet 
locationsAdminister all other locations as necessary.
For example, if the PPN is in New York and a group of 
EPNs is in Los Angeles, then New York (location 1) is the 
reference and is administered with no time offset (see step 
8). Los Angeles (location 2) is 3 hours earlier than New 
York time and is administered with a time offset of -03:00.
Administer cabinet locations as they are added to the 
system. More than 1 cabinet can be in the same location.
For location-related feature limitations and interactions see 
Table 12
.
When finished, press 
En t e r to effect the changes.
10.Administer Daylight-
Savings Time rulesType change daylight-savings-rules and press Enter.
The Daylight Savings Rules screen displays (Screen 14
).
Administer as many rules as necessary for all of the 
administered locations.
If you want to deny access for an individual login:
nset the Additional Restrictions field for that 
login to y, and entering daylight-savings-rules in the 
Restricted Object List field.
nset the Administer Features field for that login to 
n.
nset the Display Admin. and Maint. Data field 
for that login to n.
11.Verify date and time Check the system date and time (set time).
Ensure that the Type and Daylight Savings Rule 
fields are administered correctly (Screen 15
).
12.Administer ARS 
routingAdminister the Location field on the ARS analysis screen 
(change ars analysis 0 location all), observing the 
following conditions:
nARS customer option (change system-parameters 
customer-options) must be enabled (
init password 
required
).
nthe Multiple Locations customer option must be 
administered to a value other than all.

NOTE:
Some states (Arizona) or portions of states (Indiana) do not observe daylight 
savings time. Verify the daylight savings time status in all your locations.
Screen 15. Date and time screen
NOTE:
When the system clock is upgraded from an earlier release, the daylight 
savings time rule on the set time screen defaults to 0 (no rule).  While you 
can change the daylight savings time rule, the system clock is not adjusted 
automatically until the next transition of the rule.
Field description:
SVC cache 
DEFINITY ATM software maintains a cache of inter-port-network connections 
(SVCs), with the preference given to those SVCs with the longest setup times.  All 
cached interconnections are aged to ensure that a large number of them are not 
kept during nearly idle periods.

Field description:
Gain/Loss adjustments 
Gain and loss are administrable. Calls between a digital (BRI or DCP) phone 
(6400 and 8400 series) and an analog trunk port require adjustments to the 
default gain/loss settings to prevent distortion. Use the procedure (Ta b l e  1 3
) to 
administer digital phones on ATM-PNC DEFINITY ECSs.
NOTE:
Use the following procedure only for Series 6400 or 8400 digital phones.
AlgorithmThe name of the cache algorithm (default is lan).  Possible values are 
none, lan, man, wan, and custom.
When this field is changed to none, lan, man, or wan, the read-only For 
Latency and Hold Time field values change to the following (all other 
entries are blank):
ValueFor Latency (ms)Hold Time (ms)
none00
lan50 36
012
man80080
50 16
08
wan800200
20036
50 16
00
When this field is custom, none of the For Latency or Hold Time field 
values change, but the fields change from read-only to read/write.  For 
example, if you want a slight variation of the wan algorithm, type wan first 
to set the above values, then type custom to change the individual 
parameters.
Size The maximum number of entries simultaneously allowed in the cache 
(default = 410).
For Latency These fields (10) are read-only if the Algorithm field is none, lan, man, 
or wan, but are read/write if Algorithm is custom. Defaults: 36 for the 
1st entry, 0 for the second, blank for the last 8 entries.
