Name Display Installation Guide Database Requirements
Chapter 3 Database Requirements
Name Display requires a database that contains all of the extension numbers in the 
system and for each, the name that will be displayed on the Dterm LCD panel during 
call placement and connection.  This database is created through the Database 
Administration option on the APM System Administration Menu through a process 
that involves the following four steps:
  
1.Create a Master Definition File:  In this step, the master definition file is cre-
ated to define the fields in the master database file.
2.Enter Data to a Master Database File:  In this step, the master database is 
built by entering data (i.e., telephone extensions, employee names, and display 
names) into the fields that were just defined in Step 1.
3.Create an Application Definition File:  In this step, a definition file is created 
that defines how data from the master file is to be converted to meet the needs 
of Name Display.  The database name in the application configuration file 
(namefile) must be used for this definition file.  (See Step 4 – Secondary OAI 
Configuration Parameters on page 5 for more information.)
4.Process an Application Database File:  In this step, the master database input 
is converted to a database file according to the definitions created in Step 3, us-
ing the Process/Install Application Databases option on the APM Database Ad-
ministration menu.  When the Process command is activated, data is drawn 
from the master database and converted to the formats specified in the corre-
sponding application definition file.  The Install command is then activated to 
enable Name Display to access the database.
Instructions
The information required in all four steps for the Name_Display database is 
provided in table form on the next page.  Using this information alongside of the 
procedural instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual, enter the 
Database Administration option on the APM System Administration Menu and 
build the database.  Any messages displayed during these steps are addressed in the 
Process and Error Messages chapter of the APM Operations Manual.
Note:
Remember to complete Step 4, Process the Application Database, after entering 
the information on the next page in Steps 1 through 3.
The Name Display database contains all extensions served by Name Display and, 
for each extension, the name of the employee assigned to it and the form of that 
employee’s name that will be displayed on the 
Dterm LCD panel.  Name the master 
definition file namedisp and the application definition file namefile.

Field  Definitions
Extension – The phone number to which the following name assignments are 
being made.
Display Name – The name that is to be displayed on the D
term LCD panel; must 
be entered with the first name initial separated from the last name by either a 
period (.) or a blank space, for example, J. Thomas; the length of this field must 
agree with the length specified in the User-Defined Parameter #1.  (See Step 5 
– User-defined Parameters on page 6 for more information.)
Employee Name – The name of the employee who is assigned to this phone 
number; must be entered in the database with the first name first and the last 
name second, for example, Janet Thomas.
This completes creation of the Name Display database.  Now go to MAT 
Assignment, to make the necessary NEAX  MAT assignments.

Name Display Installation Guide MAT Assignment
Chapter 4 MAT Assignment
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 NEAX Maintenance 
Administration Terminal (MAT).   Such settings include, for instance, system 
index values and assignment of Interface I/O Port Data in the Interface Processor 
(IP). It is also assumed that the NEAX system D
terms have all been assigned 
through the Assignment of Station Data (ASDT) command. For more information 
about these system data settings and about the following Name Display setting, 
refer to the OAI Module Installation Manual for the NEAX2400 IMS, the 
NEAX2400 IMS Command Manual, the NEAX2400 IMS Job Specification 
Manual, and the NEAX2400 IMS Programming Manual.
Use the Assignment of System Data (ASYD) command to enable the Name 
Display feature, as follows:
Sys 1 Index 78 bit 3–0 = Display name only
1 = Display calling/called number with name
Sys 1 Index 78 bit 5–Enable Name Display feature?   1 = yes
Name Display is now installed and ready to be initialized. Enter the APM 
Operations Menu and initialize Name Display through the Non-CRT Application 
option, according to instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual.
