NDA-30016 Revision 3.0Page 1 Roamer Installation Guide Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction This guide provides specific field entries that need to be made in the process of installing and configuring Roamer. In addition to this guide, use the following manuals for this installation: •Applications Manager (APM) Installation Manual – Contains step-by-step instructions for installing the software from the release media. Applications Manager (APM) Operations Manual – Explains how applications like Roamer are configured in the APM environment, using the entries and values provided in this guide. NEAX2400 System Manuals – Give very detailed explanations about the assignments that need to be made through the Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) commands on the NEAX2400. The installation and set up of Roamer involves the following processes. Each of these topics is covered in more detail in the remaining chapters of this book: Software Installation – Roamer software must first be loaded from the release media. Log in to the APM Platform Management Menu, select the Installation of Applications/Packages option, and follow the instructions provided in the APM Installation Manual to complete this part of the installation. Application Configuration – Roamer is internally supported by the APM and must be configured in the APM environment. Chapter 2 of this guide provides the information that must be entered into this APM configuration file. Use the instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual to make the entries provided in this section. Database Requirements – Roamer requires two application databases, one of which is constructed and maintained through the APM Database Administration option. The process begins with the creation of a master definition file and its related master database. An application definition file is constructed which enables the processing of the master files into an application database. Chapter 3 of this guide defines the information which must be included in these definition and database files. Use the instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual to make the entries contained in this section. Mat Assignments – Several data settings must be assigned at the NEAX Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) before Roamer will function. Chapter 4 of this guide specifies the necessary commands and the values at which they are to be set. Use the instructions provided in the NEAX2400 IMS System Manuals to make the entries contained in this section.

Page 2NDA-30016 Revision 3.0 Introduction Roamer Installation Guide A Note About the Logical and Physical Numbers Used By Roamer: Roamer uses logical and physical numbers to move users from one phone to another. A physical number (e.g., 4502) is the actual extension associated to a D term or station through the NEAX2400 MAT. A logical number (e.g., 202) is an arbitrary number that is associated to a telephone user and that is controlled by the Open Application Interface (OAI). Physical numbers are not moved. Logical numbers move with the user. Thus, when a user indicates a move, Roamer finds the user’s logical number and reassigns it to the physical number of the new telephone. During installation, a logical number and a home physical number are assigned to each user in the Roamer database. Assignments are made at the NEAX2400 MAT which associates those physical numbers to specific D terms. These two sets of numbers can be the same or different. If they are different and OAI processing is interrupted, Roamer may lose access to the physical numbers since OAI relocates users by their logical numbers. If the two numbering systems are the same and OAI processing is interrupted, all users can be restored to their physical home phone numbers by disabling the Free Location Feature through the NEAX2400 MAT. The installation process, including its presentation in this manual and reference to other manuals that you need to complete installation, is illustrated in Figure 1-1 on page 3:
