Administering the Avaya Intuity System for Integration with the
MERLIN LEGEND Switch

Complete these procedures to integrate the Avaya Intuity system with the MERLIN LEGEND switch.

• Updating the Dial Plan Translation Window
• Setting MWI Device Assignments
• Setting MWI Parameters (Optional)


 


Note: See Intuity Messaging Solutions Integration with MERLIN LEGEND and MERLIN MAGIX Communications Systems for more information on the MERLIN LEGEND switch.

Updating the Dial Plan Translation Window

You must update the Dial Plan Translation window to integrate the system with the MERLIN LEGEND switch.

To update the Dial Plan Translation window:

1. Start at the Avaya Intuity Main Menu and select:

Switch Interface Administration
	Call Data Interface Administration
		System Translation Administration
			Dial Plan Translation

The system displays the first of five Dial Plan Translation screens on the
Dial Plan Translation Window for MERLIN LEGEND with defaults for your integration.


 


Tip: Ten rows of data are displayed on each of these screens, for a total of 50 rows. To access the next screen, press F5 (Next Page). To return to the previous screen, press F4 (Prev Page).

2. Confirm the number entered in the INTUITY Extension Length: field.
    
   

   Note: The extension length number must match the dial plan number on the switch and must be a number between 3 and 10.

3. If the extension length number does not match the dial plan number on the switch, enter the correct number in the INTUITY Extension Length: field.
4. Enter the switch start extension in the Switch Start Ext. field.
5. Enter the switch end extension in the Switch End Ext. field.
6. Enter the switch number in the Switch Number field.
    
   

   Note: For the MERLIN LEGEND, the switch number is usually 1.

7. Enter n in the Remote [Y/N] field.
8. Repeat Step�4 through Step 7 for the remaining translations.
9. Press F3 (Save).
10. Press F6 (Cancel) four times to return to the Avaya Intuity Main Menu.
11. Continue with Setting MWI Device Assignments.

Setting MWI Device Assignments

 

Note: To assign a channel group for MWI updates, you must have already administered the group using the Channel to Group window under the Voice Equipment menu selection.

To assign the channel group numbers on which the system performs MWI updates:

1. Start at the Avaya Intuity Main Menu and select:

Switch Interface Administration
	Call Data Interface Administration
		MWI Administration
			Device Assignment

The system displays the first of two screens of the Device Assignment Window for MERLIN LEGEND.


 


Tip: Ten rows of data are displayed on each screen, for a total of 20 rows in the window. To access the second screen, press F5 (Next Page). To return to the first screen, press F4 (Prev Page).

2. If the switch number entered in the Switch Number field does not match the number that identifies the switch in AUDIX administration, enter the correct number in the Switch Number field.
    
   

   Note: For the MERLIN LEGEND switch, the switch number is usually 1.

3. Enter a channel group number in the Device ID field.
    
   

   Note: For the MERLIN LEGEND switch, enter 2 in the Device ID field. This number must match the group number as administered on the Channels to Group option on the Voice Equipment window of the Avaya Intuity system.

4. Press F3 (Save).
5. Press F6 (Cancel) four times to return to the Avaya Intuity Main Menu.

If you need to set MWI parameters, continue with Setting MWI Parameters (Optional).

If you do not need to set MWI parameters, you have completed the system administration required for a MERLIN LEGEND switch integration.

Setting MWI Parameters (Optional)

 

Tip: When background updates occur, the system periodically refreshes the status of the MWI indicators. The staggering of updates prevents system resources from overloading. Enabling background updates is useful when updates are pending because the switch or Avaya Intuity system has been down.

You must set MWI parameters only if you need to:

• Change the default prefix strings or suffix strings so MWI updates can occur
• Set the frequency with which the system performs background updates
• Alter the frequency of broadcast message updates
• Disable MWI updates altogether on the system or block them during a specified time


 


Note: See the switch administrator for more information on MWI parameter settings.

To set parameters that determine how the system performs MWI updates:

1. Start at the Avaya Intuity Main Menu and select:

Switch Interface Administration
	Call Data Interface Administration
		MWI Administration
			MWI Parameters

The system displays the MWI Parameters Window for MERLIN LEGEND.

2. Determine if you need to change the MWI On Prefix: field or MWI Off Prefix:field for the integration.

The MWI On Prefix: field must be set to #53 and the MWI Off Prefix: field must be set to #*53 for the MERLIN LEGEND.

3. If you need to block MWI updates (including background and broadcast refresh) from occurring for a specified period of time:
1. Enter the time for blocking to start in the Block Start Time: field.
2. Enter the time for blocking to end in the Block End Time: field.
3. Continue with Step 5.
4. If you do not need to block MWI updates, continue with Step 5.
5. Press F3 (Save).
6. Press F6 (Cancel) four times to return to the Avaya Intuity Main Menu.

You have completed the system administration required for a MERLIN LEGEND switch integration.
