Location Status Information - Installation Guide Database Requirements
Chapter 3 Database Requirements
Location Status Information requires two databases (i.e., extensions and 
messages).   These databases are created through the Database Administration 
option on the APM System Administration Menu.  Database creation involves the 
following four-step process for
 each of the two required databases:
1.Define Master Database Fields:  This step involves creating the master data-
base fields.  Generally one master set of fields serves as parent databases for 
several applications.  Location Status Information, however, requires two sep-
arate sets of fields, one for the extensions and one for the messages.
2.Build a Master Database File:  This step involves entering data (e.g., actual 
extension numbers and the names associated with them) into the master data-
base fields that were just defined in Step 1.
3.Specify Location Status Information Database Fields:  This step defines how 
data from the master files is to be converted to meet the needs of Location Sta-
tus Information.  The database names in the application configuration file 
(lsi_extn and lsi_msg) must be entered during this step.
4.Process the Location Status Information Database:  In this step, the Master 
Database input is converted to database files according to the definitions created 
in Step 3, using the Process and Install Application Database options on the 
APM Database Administration menu.  Activate the Process command to draw 
data from the master database and convert it to the formats specified for Loca-
tion Status Information.  Then activate the Install command to enable Loca-
tion Status Information to access its database.
Instructions
The information required in all four steps for each Location Status Information 
database is provided in table form on the following pages.  Using this information 
with the procedural instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual, enter the 
Database Administration option on the APM System Administration Menu and 
build the Location Status Information databases, one at a time
. Refer to the 
Process and Error Messages chapter of the APM Operations Manual for 
information about any messages displayed during these steps
Note:Remember to complete STEP 4, Process the Application Database, for each da-
tabase after entering the information on the following pages in STEPS 1 through 
3.

Location Status Information - Installation Guide Control Options
Chapter 4 Control Options
If AMS_to_LSI is running with AMS on a NEAX2400, it should be configured to 
run nightly as follows:
1. Choose Control Options from the System Administration menu.
2. Choose Applications from the Control Options menu.
3. Choose AMS_to_LSI from the Application Selection menu.
4. Choose Initialize from the Application Control Options menu.
This will build a new master extension file.  To make these changes effective, take 
the following steps:
1. Choose Control Options from the System Administration menu.
2. Choose Databases from the Master File Options menu.
3. Choose Lsi_extn  from the Database Control Options menu.
4. Choose Process Install from the Database Control Options menu.
In this example, Lsi_extn is built every night at 1:10 a.m. and is installed at 2:10 
a.m.  The one-hour difference permits the database building to end before the 
installation begins.

Location Status Information - Installation Guide NEAX Command Assignments
Chapter 5 NEAX Command Assignments
This guide assumes that data settings that affect the operation of all OAI software 
on a system-wide basis have already been assigned on the NEAX2400 
Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) commands, the NEAX2000 
Customer Administration Terminal (CAT), or the NEAX2000 Maintenance 
Operations Console (MOC).   Such settings include, for instance, system index 
values and assignment of Interface I/O Port Data in the Interface Processor (IP). 
For more information about the system data settings and about the Code Master 
settings discussed in this section, refer to the following technical manuals for the 
specific NEAX system in use:
OAI System Manual.
Command Manual.
Job Specification.
Programming Manual (for RDS, MDS, and HDS systems).
System Data Design Manual (for ICS systems).
Location Status Information requires assignment of the Mode Set Facility (MSF) 
to an OAI-assigned function key on all D
terms affected by application.  This process 
involves assigning the MSF and its Operation Code (Op-Code), configured for 
Location Status Information in the APM Application Configuration option, to 
one of the 14 OAI Key Codes.  (The MSF Op-Codes range from 128 to 191; 
available for on screen viewing through the Providers command in the APM 
Application Configuration option.)  Each of the OAI Key Codes corresponds to an 
AKYD Function Key Index (FKI) value which is then assigned to the specific 
D
term function key.  This process is illustrated below.

NEAX Command Assignments Location Status Information - Installation Guide
NEAX2400 Commands
Use the NEAX2400 Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) to enter these 
commands.
A knowledge of the D
term stations in the NEAX system and which ones will have 
access to Location Status Information is necessary to using the following 
commands:
AOKC  Command:   
(Assignment of 
OAI  Key Codes)This command is used to associate the MSF facility and its Op-Code that was 
configured in the APM for Location Status Information to one of the 14 OAI Key 
Codes in the MAT. 
(a) Select an unused OAI Key Code, from 1 to 14.  To determine what Key 
Codes are available for assignment,  use the LOKC command to list the 
AOKC Key Codes that are already assigned.
(b) Enter MSF as the facility to be assigned to the selected Key Code, using the 
values on the screen.
(c) Enter the same Op-Code that was configured for Location Status 
Information in the APM.  If necessary, retrieve it using the Providers 
command on the APM Configuration Entry screen.
AKYD  Command:   
(Assignment of 
D
term Function 
Key)
This command is used to assign key data on the Dterms that are to be used to access 
Location Status Information.  
MAT Function Key Indexes #34 to #47 have been designated for use in the OAI 
system and correspond to the 14 OAI Key Codes as illustrated on the previous 
page.  The AKYD command is used to assign a D
term function key to the specific 
MAT Function Key Index that, in turn, corresponds to the previously assigned OAI 
Key Code.  This command must be used to assign the function key on each D
term 
that is to be set up with access to Location Status Information. 
(a) Enter the same tenant number that is configured for Location Status 
Information in the APM Application Configuration option.
(b) Enter the station number of the D
term on which the function key is being 
assigned.

Location Status Information - Installation Guide NEAX Command Assignments
(c) Enter to the Dterm function key field the MAT Function Key Index that 
corresponds to the previously assigned OAI Key Code. 
Figure 5-2   OAI Function Key Assignment Example
ExampleThe example above indicates that MSF #129 is configured for Location Status 
Information and is assigned through the AOKC command to OAI Key Code 10.  
OAI Key Code 10 corresponds in the PBX to MAT Function Key Index 43.  Each 
D
term in the system that is to access Location Status Information has function key 
3 assigned to MAT Function Key Index 43 via the AKYD command.  Now 
whenever a phone user presses function key 3 on any assigned D
term, MSF 129 
initiates communication with Location Status Information.
Location Status Information
 is now installed and ready to be initialized.  Enter 
the APM Operations Menu and initialize Location Status Information according 
to instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual.
