VMSC - MAS - Telephony Interface Dialog Box (Analog)

This topic describes how to use the Telephony Interface dialog box to configure ports, if you are using Controlled LAN (C-LAN), Digital Multiplexed Interface - 4 (DMI-4), Inband, or Serial RS-232 integration.

You can set the playback volume and configure the number of ports that connect the MAS with the Private Branch Exchange (PBX). You can enable ports and configure properties for each of them.

If you are using Brooktrout boards, you can configure selected ports to receive Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) tones from the PBX and specify the location of the tone file.

Launching the Screen

In the Voice Mail System Configuration window, click the voice mail domain.

Click Message Application Servers.

Click on the MAS you want to configure.

Double-click Telephony Interface.

The system displays the Telephony Interface dialog box for the selected MAS with the Analog tab selected. This is the only tab.

Note: If the Analog telephony interface is not already active, click the down arrow and click Make Active.

To configure Telephony Interface Analog properties, complete the following fields:

Playback Volume Enter a value for the playback volume. The range is -8 (minus 8) through 8. For C-LAN and Inband integrations, the default value is 2.

Avaya recommends that you enter 2 for 30-port, 24-port, 8-port, or 4-port cards.

Number of Ports Enter the number of ports that connect the MAS with the PBX. The default is set during installation.

Note: If you increase the number of ports, you must restart the MM Messaging Application Server service before you can administer them.

Select this check box to configure selected ports to receive DTMF tones from the PBX.

Note: This field is applicable to DMI-4 and RS-232 integrations only. Leave this field blank for C-LAN and inband integrations.

Secondary Id Enter the second part of the PBX integration identifier, known as the message desk number (MD), for serial integration only. You can enter up to 10 characters and digits (including & * # and ,). This field is blank by default.
