VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration Dialog Box

This topic describes how to use the PBX Integration dialog box to configure Private Branch Exchange (PBX) integration for the selected MAS. This determines how the selected PBX type passes call information to the MAS.

The call information includes calling party identification (if known), called party identification, and a call type code. With PBX integration, callers who are forwarded to the MAS can leave a message for the called party or can transfer to another extension.

Note: If you have SIP-based IP integration, you will only see one tab called IP SIP. If not, you will see all the other tabs listed below instead: General, Serial General, Serial NEC/Ericsson/DMID, Inband, Remote, QSIG/SE and IP H323. If you have analog telephony, the Avaya C-LAN tab also appears.

Tabs Available in this Dialog Box

General Use this tab to select the type of PBX integration for an MAS. Depending on the telephony interface, some PBX integration types may not be available. See VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration - General Tab.

Note: The integration type selected in this tab determines which of the other tabs are activated.

Serial General Use this tab to configure serial PBX integration for an MAS, if your PBX supports Digital Multiplexed Interface - 4 (DMI-4) integration or serial RS-232 integration. With serial integration, the MAS receives incoming call information by means of a serial link. See VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration - Serial General Tab

From this tab, you can also configure settings via the Serial Settings dialog box. See VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration - Serial Settings Dialog Box.

Serial NEC/Ericsson/DMID Use this tab to configure serial integration for NEC, Ericsson, and DMID protocols. See VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration - Serial NEC/Ericsson/DMID Tab.

This tab is activated by selecting the appropriate setting in the Serial General tab.

Inband Use this tab to configure Inband PBX integration for an MAS. With inband integration, the MAS receives incoming call information in the form of Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) digits. See VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration - Inband Tab.

From this tab, you can also configure settings via the Inband Protocol Settings dialog box and the MWI Settings dialog box. See VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration - Inband Protocol Settings Dialog Box and VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration - MWI Settings Dialog Box.

Remote Use this tab to configure remote PBX integration for an MAS. With remote integration, the MAS receives its incoming call information through another MAS that has a serial integration. See VMSC - MAS - PBX Integration - Remote Tab.
