Overview
The switch that hosts the INTUITY AUDIX system connects
it to the other switches in the network and provides gateway services
to the INTUITY AUDIX system. To provide these services, the switches
in the network and the INTUITY AUDIX system require additional administration.
Only this additional administration is described in this section. It
is presumed that the basic configuration shown in Administration
for Switch-to-INTUITY AUDIX System Link is up and working and that
all DCS administration between the switches is up and working.
For each configuration, this section
shows what has to be administered on the remote switch, on the host
switch (if anything), and on the INTUITY AUDIX system. Use each of these
configurations as building blocks or as entry points, to determine what
administration is required to set up a link to the INTUITY AUDIX system.
Prerequisites
The configurations shown in the
section are based on the following assumptions:
- The host switch is an Avaya
S8300 Media Server or a DEFINITY ECS R7 or later. The remote switches
can be any of the following switch models:
- DEFINITY G1
- DEFINITY G3i
- DEFINITY G3r
- DEFINITY G3s
- DEFINITY G3vs
- The basic configuration
shown in Administration for Switch-to-INTUITY
AUDIX System Link is administered and is working.
- DCS networking between the
host switch and all other switches in the network is up and working.
This administration is described in DEFINITY ECS Administration
for Network Connectivity, either 555-233-501 or 555-233-504.
- The INTUITY AUDIX system
uses the switch's existing DCS trunks for both data and voice communications.
How to Use This Topic
This topic shows how you administer
a link between the INTUITY AUDIX system and switches in an established
DCS network. Since the information in this topic assumes that the DCS
network is up and working and that the link from the INTUITY AUDIX system
to the host switch is also up and working, it is not necessary to review
every configuration shown in this section.
Administration for the following
configurations are shown in this section:
- Ethernet
LAN Link
This configuration describes
how to add a INTUITY AUDIX system to a remote Ethernet switch on the
LAN.
Ethernet LAN Link
The figure for Ethernet
LAN Link illustrates the configuration. This configuration includes
two R7 or later switches connected through Ethernet (Host - Node #1
and Remote - Node #2), and the INTUITY AUDIX system connected to the
host switch. The information in this section shows you how to administer
the link from the INTUITY AUDIX system to a remote switch connected
on the LAN.
Prerequisites
The Ethernet LAN Link is based on
the assumptions listed in the Prerequisites
located at the beginning of this section.
Procedure Overview
The following procedures must be
completed on the Remote - Node #2 switch:
- Assign Node Names.
- Assign a Hunt Group at the
Remote Switch.
- Disable the link on the
data module screen (R7 only).
- Administer a processor channel
for the link from the switch to the INTUITY system.
- Enable the link on the data
module screen (R7 only).
- Set up a coverage path for
access to the voice port hunt group.
- Apply the coverage path
to stations, and if the switch is an r model, specify the node name
of the INTUITY AUDIX system for each station that has a voice mailbox
on the INTUITY AUDIX system.
The following procedure must be
completed on the INTUITY AUDIX system:
- Administer the switch interface
to the Remote - Node #2 switch.
Remote - Node #2 Switch Procedures
Complete the following procedures
to administer the Remote - Node #2 switch.
Assign Node Names
The INTUITY AUDIX system must be
administered with unique node names and IP addresses. In addition, while
the S8300 can support a single INTUITY AUDIX system, different models
of DEFINITY switches can support different numbers of INTUITY AUDIX
systems.
- R7csi/si and later support
one INTUITY AUDIX system.
- R7r and later support up
to eight INTUITY AUDIX systems:
- Identify the node names
of each of the eight possible INTUITY AUDIX systems.
- Select names that are
unique for each system, for example audix1 or audix2.
Although you name the systems as AUDIX, the name works correctly
with the INTUITY AUDIX system. This node name is used when you administer
the data modules, stations, and the processor channel.
Use the following procedure to
define the node names:
- Enter change
node-names (DEFINITY R7 and R8) or change node-names
audix-msa (S8300 or DEFINITY R9 and later).
The system displays one
of the following screens:
- See Worksheet
D: Names and IP Addresses for INTUITY AUDIX System, in Switch
Integration Planning, for the correct node name or names and IP
address or addresses to use for the INTUITY AUDIX system.
