Local Machine Administration Window

Table: Field Definitions; Local Machine Administration Window
Field	Valid Input	Procedure/Description
Local Machine Name	Display only	If you need to change the name of the local machine, see Renaming the Local and Remote Machines.
Connection Type	See description at right	Select a connection type. This field is used only when this system calls itself for testing purposes. Select the type of connection administered for the channel in the Networking Channel Administration Window. This is the type of connection the system will attempt to set up for a test call. The selections are: `DCP Mode 1` (56-Kbps data rate) `DCP Mode 3` (64-Kbps data rate) `RS-232 Async` (9.6 Kbps [DDD] or 19.2 Kbps [such as SDDN]; used when digital facilities are not available) `TCP/IP` (used when connecting over a LAN or WAN)
Dial Str	0 to 65 alphanumeric characters, including: Digits Uppercase and lowercase letters Pound sign (#), asterisk (*), plus sign (+), percent sign (%), parentheses (), hyphen (-), spaces, 2-second pause (,)	Enter a dial string, using the following information as a guide. The local machine uses the dial string to call itself for loop-around testing. The dial string has to match what you want to test. When determining the dial string, use any dialing conventions or restrictions normally used to call outside or to access private networks, central office numbers, or long distance lines. The connection type used by the Intuity AUDIX system determines the channel type used for calling out of the system. The dial string determines the loop used to get the call back to the Intuity AUDIX system and the type of channel used once the call gets there. Use the following guidelines to establish the dial string. TCP/IP Dial String Guidelines When the connection type is TCP/IP, use the IP address of the local machine as the dial string.
Dial Str (cont)		DCP Dial String Guidelines Use the digits 0 through 9 For example: 6000 where 6000 is an extension number assigned to the first of the local system network channels or to a hunt group of channels. If you dial a number, such as 9, to reach an outside local line, include the number in the dial string. Use + to create a pause for dial tone. For example: 9+2346000 where 234 is the office code assigned to the local switch, and 6000 is the same as in the previous example. If you dial a number, such as 8, to access a private network switch, include the access number in the dial string. For example: 8+7896000 where 8 is the private network access code at the local switch, 789 is the private network code for the local switch, and 6000 is the same as in the first example.
		RS-232 Dial String Guidelines Use the digits 0 through 9 and include the attention code, ATDT, of the modem. For example, ATDT 6000 where 6000 represents the extension of the other RS-232 channel. If you dial a number, such as 9, to reach an outside local line, include the attention code ATDT and the outside access number in the dial string. For example, ATDT 92346000. If the local system uses a dedicated RS-232 channel to call itself, do not enter a dial string. Additional Dial String Guidelines Character strings that have special meaning within the Intuity AUDIX system must be enclosed within double quotes. Valid special strings are: "W" — wait for another dial prompt "B" — replace with a BREAK character "CR" — replace with a carriage return "LF" — replace with a line feed
Data Rate	A rate that matches the connection type, see description at right	Select a data rate. This field is used only when this system calls itself for testing purposes. Select the data rate that matches the connection type (9600, 19200, 56000, or 64000). The data rate is 00 for TCP/IP.
Password	6 to 11 alphanumeric characters	Enter the password remote machines must use to establish networking connections to this local Intuity AUDIX system.
Channel	0 (zero) or the channel of a directly connected machine	Enter the channel number for the remote machine. Use 0 (zero) unless the machines are directly connected or if you are doing a local machine test. A 0 (zero) means the system selects the first idle channel it finds for the specified data rate. Specify the channel if the machines are directly connected or if you are doing a local machine test.
