The process of integrating an INTUITY
AUDIX system with an Avaya S8300 Media Server involves a series of tasks
to prepare the switch to work with the INTUITY AUDIX system. This section
shows the administration that is required on the S8300.
Configuration Diagram
The figure for the S8300-to-INTUITY
AUDIX system basic configuration illustrates the basic configuration
for the procedures described in this section.
Switch Procedures Checklist
The Switch
Procedures checklist that follows lists the procedures that must
be done on the S8300 switch.
Switch Procedures
Complete the following procedures
to administer the host switch.
Administer the INTUITY
AUDIX Media Module
Use the following procedure to administer the INTUITY
AUDIX as a media module:
- Access the S8300 System Administration
Terminal (SAT) Command Line through Telnet.
- At the SAT screen command prompt, enter change media-gateway
1 (or another number).
|
Note: The media
gateway number may be another number if the gateways are in
a stack. If so, determine the number by counting from the bottom
of the stack until you find the gateway that has the S8300.
The bottom gateway is 1, the next higher gateway is 2,
and so on.
|
The system displays the
Media Gateway screen.
- Enter messaging-analog
in the
Module Type field for Slot V8.
- Press Enter to
save the information.
- Continue with
the next procedure, Administer
the First Voice Port. Optionally, you may need to create a unique
Class of Restrictions for the AUDIX hunt
group and voice ports and a unique Class of Service
for the AUDIX voice ports.
Create
a Unique Class of Restriction (Optional)
The class of restriction (COR) defines
calling privileges. The COR specifies up to 95 different classes of
call origination and termination privileges on the S8300. Create a unique
COR for the INTUITY AUDIX system voice ports and hunt groups. Do not
use a COR that is also used by any other extension, special-usage ports,
or trunk groups.
To create the COR:
- Access
the S8300 SAT command prompt, and enter change cor COR
number on the switch terminal.
The system displays
the Class of Restriction screen.
|
Note: The instructions
in this section deal only with the fields you need to change
for a INTUITY AUDIX system. Do not change the value
in any other field unless you are instructed to do so. See
the Administrator's Guide for Avaya MultiVantage Software,
555-233-506, for more information about the COR screen.
|
- On page 1 of the
Class of Restriction screen, set the Facility Restriction Level (FRL)
and any other desired options. Normally, the FRL is set to 7,
which provides maximum access to calling resources on the switch.
These privileges could be necessary if outcalling, AMIS Analog Networking,
or Message Manager will be used.
|
Note: If the system
will use the outcalling feature, you must set the Calling
Party Restriction field to none.
|
- Press NextPage
twice to move to page 3 of the Class Of Restriction screen. This screen
shows which other CORs the voice port and hunt group COR are allowed
to call. The default has all CORs set to y. If you want to
restrict this COR to allow calls only to its own COR, you must change
all the fields to n except for the field that corresponds to
its own COR.
- Press Enter to
save your changes.
- Continue with
the next procedure, Create a Unique Class
of Service.
Create
a Unique Class of Service (Optional)
The Class of Service (COS) allows
you to define access to several features and functions.
Use the following procedure to create
the COS:
- Access
the S8300 SAT command prompt, and enter change cos at the
command prompt.
The system displays the
Class of Service screen.
|
Note: The instructions
in this section deal only with the fields that you need to change
for an INTUITY AUDIX system. Do not change the value
in any other field unless you are instructed to do so. For more
information on the COS screen and fields, see the Administrator's
Guide for Avaya MultiVantage Software, 555-233-506.
|
- Enable only the
Data Privacy and Restrict Call Forwarding Off-Net features for the
INTUITY AUDIX system voice ports COS.
- Press Enter to
save your changes.
- Continue with
the next procedure, Assign Node Names.
Assign
Node Names
The switch and the INTUITY AUDIX
system must be administered with unique node names. However, since the
INTUITY AUDIX is installed directly on the S8300 processor, there is
no need to identify the INTUITY AUDIX IP address to the S8300 in this
task.
Use the following procedure to define
the node names:
- Access
the S8300 SAT command prompt, and enter change node-names audix-msa.
The system displays the
AUDIX-MSA Node Names screen.
- Enter, in the AUDIX
Names field, the correct node name to use on the INTUITY AUDIX
system.
| NOTE: Do not fill out the IP address field.
The IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX uses the same IP address as the S8300
processor. This address is unnecessary. |
- Press Enter to
save your changes.
- Continue with the next procedure, Administer
the First Voice Port.
Administer
the First Voice Port
The INTUITY AUDIX voice ports interface
to the switch as analog 2500-type stations. Administer a voice port
for each of the ports (up to 8) on the INTUITY AUDIX system that is
connected to the host switch.
To administer the voice ports:
- Access
the S8300 SAT command prompt, and enter add station voice
port extension at the enter command prompt, where voice
port extension is the first voice port extension in the INTUITY
AUDIX hunt group. The switch administrator needs to determine what
these extensions are to be. They must match the switch dial plan,
start with the digit 1 or higher, and be in sequence. These extensions
normally are listed in your project planning worksheets.
The system displays the
Station screen, page 1.
|
Note: You can also
use the add station next command if you want to add a
station by using the next available extension number.
|
- Enter the correct
values in the fields on the Station screen,
page 1.
- Press NextPage
to move to the Station screen, page 2.
- Change the LWC
Activation and Coverage Message Retrieval fields to n
(no) on the Station screen, page 2. Leave
the default values in the other fields. However, see the note
that follows.
|
Note: If you find
that the system does not always handle calls properly for messaging,
it may be because the default values on Page 2 of the Station
screen cannot effectively process the configurations on the
S8300. This may be the case for more complex configurations
of adjuncts on the S8300 or the use of certain S8300 features.
If, on rare occasions, the default values do not
work properly, readminister Page 2 with the values described
in Field Definitions:
Station Screen, Page 2, for AUDIX Ports.
|
- Press NEXTPAGE
to move to the Station screen, page 3.
- Enter the correct
values in the fields on the Station screen, page 3. Normally, you
can just use th defaults values.
- Press Enter to
save your changes.
- Continue with
the next procedure, Duplicate the First
Voice Port.
Duplicate
the First Voice Port
After creating one voice port station,
you can quickly create additional stations by using the duplicate
station command. The command allows you to copy the information
that you entered for the first voice port station. Enter only the extension,
port, and name for the next station that you need to create.
To duplicate the station:
- Access
the S8300 SAT command prompt, and enter duplicate station
first voice port station extension at the command prompt.
The system duplicates
the station and then displays a Duplicate Station
screen.
- Enter the extension
number of the next voice port station you need to create in the
Ext
field.
- Enter the port
location for the next voice port station in the
Port
field.
- Enter the name
for the next voice port station in the
Name field.
- Leave the Security
Code, Room, Jack,
and Cable fields blank.
- Repeat steps 2–5
for each voice port.
- Press Enter
to save the information and return to the command prompt.
- To verify that
the voice ports exist on the switch, enter list station port
<port 1 location> count <number of
voice ports>
The system displays a
list of all the stations that you created.
- Continue with
the next procedure, Add the Voice Ports to a
Hunt Group.
Add the
Voice Ports to a Hunt Group
Identify each INTUITY AUDIX voice
port as a member of one or more hunt groups. These voice ports are virtual
analog ports on the switch (vitual because they exist in the software
only, with no real ports on a circuit board). By defining this group,
you tell the S8300 software to connect subscribers to the INTUITY AUDIX
system. The software then distributes new calls to idle ports. The S8300
switch uses Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) for distributing calls to
the ports. See the Administrator's Guide for Avaya MultiVantage Software,
555-233-506, for more information about call distribution groups.
To place the voice ports into a hunt
group:
- Access
the S8300 SAT command prompt, and enter add hunt-group
hunt group number or change hunt-group hunt
group number at the enter command prompt. You also can enter
add hunt-group next to add a hunt group with a number that
is one higher than the previous hunt group.
The system displays the
Hunt Group screen, page 1.
- Complete the fields
on this screen by using the information in the table for Field
Definitions: Hunt Group Screen, Page 1.
- Press NextPage to
move to the Hunt Group screen, page 2.
- Complete the fields
on this screen by using the information in the table for Field
Definitions: Hunt Group Screen, Page 2.
- Press NextPage
to move to the Hunt Group screen, page 3.
|
Note: The voice
port names do not appear while you are adding the hunt group
members, but you will see them the next time you access the
Hunt Group screen.
|
- Complete the fields
on this screen by using the information in the table for Field
Definitions: Hunt Group screen, page 3.
- Press Enter
to save your changes.
Use the Group Number of
the INTUITY AUDIX hunt group when you assign a call coverage path
for the system subscribers. The hunt group number serves as the coverage
point for incoming INTUITY AUDIX calls.
- Continue with
Assign the Call Coverage Path.
Assign
the Call Coverage Path
Define a call coverage path for
the subscribers with the voice ports hunt group as a coverage point.
You might need to define several call coverage paths, depending on how
the customer wants to handle call coverage for different groups of subscribers.
If the INTUITY AUDIX system has been integrated with an existing switch,
you might need to add the INTUITY AUDIX hunt group as another coverage
point for existing coverage paths.
Use the following procedure to define
a call coverage path:
- Access
the S8300 SAT command prompt, and enter add coverage path
coverage path number at the command prompt.
The system displays the
Coverage Path screen.
- Complete the fields
on this screen by using the information in the table for Field
Definitions: Coverage Path screen.
- Press Enter to
save your changes.
- Continue with
the next procedure, Save Translations.
Save Translations
You must save your changes now or after you modify
the Station screen for each subscriber or your changes will be lost
the next time the S8300 restarts.
- Access the S8300 SAT command
prompt, and enter save translations.
The save process may take up to 10 minutes. The system displays
success on the screen when complete.
Check for the Switch Number of the S8300
- Access the S8300 SAT command
prompt, and enter display dial plan parameters.
The system displays the Dial Plan Record screen.
- Check the Local Node Number field for the number of the
switch.
The Local Node Number is the number you enter in the next task, Assign
the Switch Number and Extension Length.
Assign the Switch
Number and Extension Length
Assign a switch number to the INTUITY AUDIX system so that the INTUITY
AUDIX system will know what G700 Media Gateway it is assigned to. Assign
an extension length so the INTUITY AUDIX system can match its addressing
with the dial plan of the S8300.
