    Sentry Installation Guide MAT Assignments and PBX Information
    AKYD Command: (Assignment of Dterm Function Key)
    The AKYD command can only be used to assign key data on those Dterms that have 
    already been assigned through the ASDT command. 
    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 in Figure 6-1 on 
    page 100. 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 Executive Override. 
    1. In this example, D
    term function key #8 was designated in the application 
    configuration as the key that is to be pressed to activate Executive Override 
    from the D
    term. 
    2. Enter the same tenant number that is configured for the application in the APM 
    Application Configuration option (Tenant #1).
    3. Enter the station number of the D
    term on which the function key is being 
    assigned.
    4. Enter the D
    term function key to the MAT Function Key Index that in turn 
    corresponds to the previously assigned OAI Key Code.

    AKYD Command: (Assignment of Dterm Function Key) (Cont)
    In the example in Figure 6-2, MSF was selected in the APM Application 
    Configuration, and its Op-Code was determined to be #129. MSF #129 is then 
    assigned through the AOKC command to an OAI Key Code. In this example the 
    Key Code is #10. The D
    term function key that is to be used to access Executive 
    Override is configured as function key #8. Since OAI Key Code #10 corresponds 
    in the PBX to MAT Function Key Index #43, D
    term function key #8 is assigned to 
    Function Key Index #43 using the AKYD command. Now whenever a phone user 
    presses function key #8 on any assigned D
    term, MSF 129 initiates communication 
    with Executive Override for display of calling party information.
    Annoyance TrapAnnoyance Trap requires the following PBX programming:
    AMNO:  Assignment of Monitored Number
    Assigns a monitored number that is controlled by Annoyance Trap.  Enter the same 
    tenant number (except 0) configured for Annoyance Trap, the monitored number 
    that Annoyance Trap will monitor, and the optional UCD pilot number to which 
    calls will be routed when Annoyance Trap is not monitoring the monitored 
    number.
    Dummy Phone
    If an audio device is used, a dummy phone must be created.  This phone is used to 
    place a call to the audio device, which causes the audio device to make noise.
    Emergency 
    ConferenceEmergency Conference requires the following PBX programming:
    1. A monitored number for each conference. See “AMNO: Assignment of 
    Monitored Number” on page 102 for information on creating a monitored 
    number.
    2. A monitored number used to override callers.  See “AMNO: Assignment of 
    Monitored Number” on page 102 for information on creating a monitored 
    number.
    3. Restrict transfers of route/trunks to a conference monitored number.  If such a 
    transfer is attempted, the transferred party should be re-connected to the 
    transferring party.
    4. Create a dummy phone used to provide a warning tone when a caller is 
    overridden, using a D
    term phone with off hook suppression enabled. 
    5. Use the ASFC MAT command to create an OAI service feature class that 
    enables SFI 24 (the Emergency Call feature).  This feature is used to disable a 
    station’s flash hook ability while connected to a conference. For example: 
    SFI = 24; SFC = 3; RES = 1. 
    The SFC you use here must equal the User Define #9 parameter. 
    6. You can use the ARSC command to prevent any outside phone from joining he 
    conference. RSC for the conference line should be restricted.

    No Dial Alarm 
    ConferencingNo Dial Alarm Conferencing requires the following additional PBX programming:
    1. The off hook alarm must be enabled, and it must be configured to terminate to 
    a station.  Modify the following ASYD index as follows:
    System 1 Index 168 bit 4=1, bit 5=1
    Use the ASID command to specify the off hook alarm station.
    2. The off hook alarm station must be set to forward all calls to the No Dial Alarm 
    monitored number using the ACFS command.
    3. To set the off hook alarm timer modify the following ASYD indexes:
    System 1 Index 128 bit 0-3
    The value specified by bits 0-3 may range from 0 to 15.  A value of 0 will 
    specify a timer interval of 12 seconds.  A value of 1 to 15 specified a timer 
    interval that is twice the number value.  For example, 1 = 2 seconds, 2 = 4 
    seconds, etc.
    4. All stations that will activate the no dial alarm must have SFI 30 turned on to 
    enable the off hook alarm using the ASFC command, and must be placed in a 
    single group using the ASGD command.
    Conference Cards
    PA-CFTB 
    Conference CardsPA-CFTB Conference Cards require the following settings:
    1. EPROM #1 should be the following version:
    SP863
    D1
    001
    This EPROM will allow conference lines to answer calls more quickly.  If you 
    use another EPROM version, there will be a delay before the conference lines 
    answer.
    2. Conference card switch settings should be as follows:
    Switch 0
    1  3 On
    2  4  5  6  7  8 Off
    Switch 1
    1  2  3  4  5  6  7   On
    8Off
    Switch 2
    1  2  3  4  5  6 On
    7  8 Off
    3. When assigning the CFTB card, set TEC=3. RSC and SFC settings for the 
    conference should be different than the RSC and SFC settings for the other 
    phones.

    4. Conference card lines must have the following SFI values enabled: 70, 95, 103, 
    104 (ASFC).
    5. Conference cards may be daisy chained together.

    Sentry Installation Guide History Logging
    Appendix A History Logging
    History Logging is controlled through configuration files located in the “/oai/app/
    sentry/cfg/history” directory. Events can be logged to one or more serial printers 
    and/or UNIX text files. Unique message formats can be specified for each printer 
    or file.
    Master Configuration Files
    Each Sentry OAI Application has a master configuration file located in the “oai/
    app/sentry/cfg/history” directory.  The master configuration file contains the path 
    names of each configuration file used by the application.
    The “oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/Mannoy.cfg” master configuration file is created 
    during the Annoyance Trap installation.  It contains the following lines:
    /oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/printDb.cfg
    /oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/printers.cfg
    /oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/annoyDb.cfg
    /oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/annoyLog.cfg
    The “oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/Mconf.cfg” master configuration file is created 
    during the Emergency Conference installation.  It contains the following lines:
    “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/printDb.cfg”
    “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/printers.cfg”
    “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/confDb.cfg”
    “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/confHist.cfg”
    The “oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/Movr.cfg” master configuration file is created 
    during the Executive Override installation.  This file may be shared with all 
    Executive Override installations, or it may be copied to allow different history 
    logging configurations for each application.  It contains the following lines:
    .“/oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/printDb.cfg”
    “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/printers.cfg”
    “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/overDb.cfg”
    “/oai/app/sentry/cfg/history/overHist.cfg”
    These files are discussed in greater detail in the following sections.
    Printer Configuration Files
    Serial printer links are configured using the printDb.cfg and printers.cfg files 
    which are shared with all Sentry database applications. The printDb.cfg file 
    contains baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits configuration constants. This file 
    is created during installation and does not require any modification.  
    						
    							Page 110NDA-30080   Revision 1.0
    History Logging Sentry Installation Guide
    The printers.cfg file contains unique definitions for each printer tty. A template 
    version of this file is created during installation, but printer definitions must be 
    entered after installation. Printer configuration variable names use the format 
    PRINTER_X_????, where X is a sequential number (1, 2, 3, etc.) and the ???? is 
    the variable type (NAME, BAUD, PARITY, etc.). 
    Printer configuration variable names must occur in sequential order, starting with 
    1. For example, if there are 3 printers in the system, the configuration variables for 
    the first would be called PRINTER_1_????, the second PRINTER_2_????, and the 
    third PRINTER_3_????. 
    The following sections describe the configuration variables defined in printers.cfg.
    Printer CountThe configuration variable PRINTER_COUNT specifies the number of printers 
    and uses the following syntax:
    INTCONST PRINTER_COUNT X
    where X is the number of printers connected to the system (1, 2, etc.).
    Printer Device 
    NameThe printer tty device name is specified with the PRINTER_X_NAME variable, 
    which uses the following syntax:
    STRCONST PRINTER_X_NAME
    “/dev/tty????”
    where X is the sequential printer number (1, 2, etc.) and the name contained in 
    quotes is the tty device name that is connected to the printer (/dev/tty1a, /dev/tty2a, 
    etc.).
    Printer Device 
    Baud RateThe printer device baud rate is specified with the PRINTER_X_BAUD variable, 
    which uses the following syntax:
    INTCONST PRINTER_X_BAUD BAUD_????
    where X is the sequential printer number (1, 2, etc.) and BAUD_???? is one of the 
    following baud rate constants defined in printDb.cfg:
    BAUD_0          BAUD_50         BAUD_75
    BAUD_134      BAUD_150       BAUD_200
    BAUD_300      BAUD_600       BAUD_1200
    BAUD_1800    BAUD_2400     BAUD_4800
    BAUD_9600    BAUD_19200   BAUD_38400
    Printer Device 
    ParityThe printer device parity is specified with the PRINTER_X_PARITY variable, 
    which uses the following syntax:
    INTCONST  PRINTER_X_PARITY  PARITY_????
