Administering the Avaya Intuity System for Integration with DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code Switches

 

Important! DEFINITY R6csi switches and DEFINITY Mode Code switches are not connected to the DCIU circuit card. Distributed Communication System (DCS) networking is not available on these types of switches.

 

Note: These procedures only apply to DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code switches. Do not follow these procedures if your switch is connected to a DCIU circuit card.

For the DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code switch integrations you must complete the following procedures:

• Updating the Dial Plan Translation Window
• Setting MWI Device Assignments
• Setting MWI Parameters
• Setting Address Ranges

Updating the Dial Plan Translation Window

You must update the Dial Plan Translation window to integrate the Avaya Intuity system with the DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code switches.

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 Translation Window for DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code Switches.

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

   Note: The extension length entered in the Extension Length: field must match the dial plan on the switch. This extension length number will be either 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 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. Press F3 (Save).
5. 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. See mapping channels to switch extensions for more information.

This procedure allows you to partition the channels.

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 DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code Switches.

2. If the switch number entered in the Switch Number field does not match the switch number used in AUDIX administration, enter the correct number in the Switch Number field.
3. Enter a channel group number in the Device ID field.
    
   

   Note: This number must match the group number as administered on the Channels to Group window under the Voice Equipment menu selection. This channel group number ranges from 1 to 32.


 


Important! For the DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY mode code switches, assign this channel group number to 2 if you want MWI updates to occur.

4. Press F3 (Save).
5. Press F6 (Cancel) four times to return to the Avaya Intuity Main Menu.
6. Continue with Setting MWI Parameters.

Setting MWI Parameters

 

Note: In background updates, 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 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 DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code Switches.


 


Note: The MWI prefix and suffix on your Intuity system must match the MWI information on your switch. To verify that they match, enter display feat at the enter command: prompt on your switch. When the Display Feature Access Code screen displays, verify that the entry in the Leave Word Calling Send a Message: field matches the entry in the MWI On Prefix: field, and that the entry in the Leave Word Calling Cancel a Message: field matches the entry in the MWI Off Prefix: field

2. Determine if you need to change the MWI prefix or suffix for the integration.
    
   

   Important! The MWI On Prefix: field must be set to #90 and the MWI Off Prefix: field must be set to #91 for all DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code switches.

3. If you want 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 4.

If you do not want to block MWI updates (including background and broadcast refresh) from occurring for a specified period of time, continue with Step 4.

4. Press F3 (Save).
5. Press F6 (Cancel) four times to return to the Avaya Intuity Main Menu.
6. Continue with Setting Address Ranges.

Setting Address Ranges

To set address ranges on the Avaya Intuity system:

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

AUDIX Administration

The system displays the AUDIX Command Prompt Screen.

2. Enter change machine at the enter command: prompt.

The system displays the Machine Profile Screen, Page 1.

3. Enter the first extension of the range in the Start Ext. field. The range must have the same number of digits as the number in the Extension Length: field.
4. Enter the ending extension of the range in the End Ext. field. The range must have the same number of digits as the number in the Extension Length: field.
    
   

   Note: You cannot change the Extension Length: field on this screen. Use the Translation Window for DEFINITY R6csi and DEFINITY Mode Code Switches to change the extension length.

5. Press F3 (Enter).
6. Enter exit to return to the Avaya Intuity Main Menu.

You have completed the system administration required for a DEFINITY R6csi or DEFINITY Mode Code switch integration.
