Configuring analog port boards

To configure analog port boards, complete the following procedures:

Note: You may have up to five of the following analog port boards installed on a MAS:

Dialogic 4-port Tip/Ring board
Dialogic 12-port Tip/Ring board

Note: You can use a combination of Dialogic 4-port and Dialogic 12-port Tip/Ring boards. For example, you may use 3 Dialogic 4-port boards and 2 Dialogic 12-port boards.

Configuring the boards

Perform the following steps to configure boards, using the sample tones already provided on the MAS. Optionally, you can build tone files using PBXpert/32 as described in the Installation Guide (pdf).

Start at the Windows start-up menu, and select:

            Programs
                  Dialogic System Software
                        Dialogic Configuration Manager - DCM

The system displays the Computer Name popup window.

In the Computer Name popup window, make sure that Local is selected and verify the MAS name.

Click Connect. The system may take a few minutes to establish a connection.

Once the connection is established, the system displays the Dialogic Configuration Manager page.

Under Configured Devices …. / PBX Integration, double-click the name of the first Dialogic board shown (such as #0). The system displays the Dialogic Configuration Manager Properties page.

Click the Misc tab.

For a D/120JCT-LS board only: Select the FirmwareFile field, then type spfax.fwl in the Value field.

Select the TSFFileSupport field.

Select Yes from the Value drop-down list.

Click the DisconnectTone field.

Select Yes from the Value drop-down list.

Click the Files tab.

Select TSFFileName. To find a prerecorded TSF file:

Navigate to the C:\Avaya Support\Sample_Tone_Files directory.
Select a TSF file that is appropriate for the switch to which you are connecting (for example, Avaya-G3-US.tsf).
Ensure that the complete path and file name are visible in the field.
Note: If you cannot find a file for your switch, see the Installation Guide (pdf) for instructions.

Click OK. The system displays the Dialogic Configuration Manager page.

Repeat steps 4 through 13 for any other installed Dialogic boards (such as #1).

Verifying that the boards are operating

When all boards are configured, click Start Service (green in color) on the button bar.

The installed boards show a green light when the service is started, and the Stop Service button (red in color) becomes active.

Testing the ports

Test all ports as follows:

Start at the Windows start-up menu, and select:

            Programs
                  Avaya Modular Messaging
                        Dialogic Line Tester

The system displays the Dialogic Analog - Line Test Application page. This page lists all the ports and their corresponding status.

Dial each port individually and check the status.

Note: You must get the individual port extensions from the switch administrator.

To check the status of a port:

Select the port from which you want to make a call.
Type the number of the port you are calling, and click Dial Number.
Initially, all ports display the status Waiting for call.
When you dial a port, the status of the port from which you are making the call displays any of the following values:
- Dialing number

- Line Busy
- No Answer
- Call was disconnected
- Error, No Dial Tone detected
The status of the port to which you are making the call displays any of the following values:
