Administration Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

This manual provides the information needed to administer AT&T System 25 station, network access, and system features. This includes configuring the system for initial service (that is, initializing the system) and making day-to-day changes required for efficient operation.
During the planning process, the customer's requirements were identified by the AT&T Account Team and the customer. Those requirements were then converted into orderable system hardware when the Account Team configured the system. During implementation planning, features were assigned for the system and for individual terminals using the forms in the AT&T System 25 Implementation Manual, 555-500-650.
The implementation forms as explained in the Implementation Manual provide the information
necessary to enter the initial translations that customize the system.
Before the initial translations are entered:
The implementation forms must be completed.
These forms should be collected and filed in the Administration Records Binder. (This is the binder that the Implementation Manual comes in.)
This manual also provides instructions for making day-to-day changes after the initial translations
have been entered. It is very important that these changes be recorded in the Administration Records
Binder. If this is not done, future system administration activity will become increasingly difficult.

1.1 SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND THE ADMINISTRATOR'S ROLE

System Administration involves initializing the system and administering any subsequent terminal and system changes. The AT&T systems technician who installs the system is responsible for initializing it. Subsequent changes that do not require equipment additions or rearrangements may
be performed by the customer's System Administrator or the Systems Technician, at the customer's option. This manual is designed to support both the Systems Technician and the System Administrator in performing these tasks.
The System Administrator is responsible for the following:
Training other station users and the attendant.
After the system has been initialized, assuring that any additions, changes, or deletions to system or terminal features are made on a day-to-day basis as required.
Maintaining system security. Notifying company management (and AT&T) about problems, alarms, and service complaints
associated with the system.
If you have questions about system hardware or feature operation, you should refer to the AT&T System 25 Reference Manual (555-500-200) for complete information.

AT&T System 25

1.2 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Before you use the SAT to administer your system, you should have received hands-on training. You should also read and understand Section 2, Using Your System Administration Terminal, and Section 3, Using the Digital Tape Unit to Save and Restore, of this manual.
Section 5, Command Descriptions, provides detailed step-by-step instructions for adding trunks and stations or for changing system and station features and options. You should carefully review the first page of Section 5 (including the information about default trunk/station numbering) before you administer changes. Note that, when adding stations, trunks, or auxiliary equipment connected to special feature ports, you should first follow the procedure for installing the equipment, then assign Class-Of-Service information and make button assignments.
If you are initializing a system, follow the instructions in Section 4. Section 4 will direct you to the procedures in Section 5 in a specific sequence; it is important that you perform the steps in the indicated order.
Section 6 provides quick reference information. The tables in this section are intended to help those thoroughly familiar with system administration locate specific information without having to refer to the full text in Section 5. However, unless you are an experienced system administrator, you should follow the procedures in Section 5.

1.3 BEFORE YOU GO ON

This manual assumes that:
You have attended the System 25 (Customer or Systems Technician) Training Course.
System 25 equipment has been installed and tested.
All stations have been tested by the Systems Technician.
You have available a System Administration Terminal (SAT) with which you will enter the configuration data.

1.4 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION TERMINAL

This section defines requirements for the System Administration Terminal (SAT). Any data terminal with an RS-232C interface that meets the requirements below may be used as the SAT.

1.4.A Display

System 25 administration requires the following display characteristics:
Minimum display size of 16 lines by 80 columns
Ability to display upper case ASCII alphabetic characters, ASCII numerics, and some other ASCII symbols (see Section 1.4.B below)
Carriage return and line feed characters are required to position the cursor at the start of a new line
Full duplex operation.
Page 1-2
AT&T System 25

1.4.B Keyboard

System 25 administration requires keyboard input that includes alphanumeric characters and some basic ASCII symbol characters. Your administration terminal should be capable of sending the following ASCII characters:
Administration Manual
A-Z or a-z 0-9 *,#
, ?
BACKSPACE RETURN

1.4.C SAT Port Speed Setting

The data transfer rate for terminals or personal computers is set after a carriage return character is entered from the device keyboard. Two data transfer rates are supported—1200 baud and 300
baud. The default rate is 1200 baud.

1.4.D Switch Settings for the AT&T Mode1 703 SAT

There are two sets of switch settings to check on the AT&T Model 703 SAT.
The three rocker switches at the upper right of the keyboard are set as follows: A) LOCAL COPY–press down left side of switch, B) ON LINE–press downright side of switch, C) UPPER CASE–press down left side of switch.
Four pencil switches under the paper compartment cover are set as follows: switches 1 and 3 to
OFF; switches 2 and 4 to ON.

2. USING YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION TERMINAL

2.1 LOGGING IN AND LEAVING AN ADMINISTRATION SESSION

2.1.A System Security

For obvious security reasons, access to the administration capabilities of AT&T System 25 is
controlled by a password. Your password is available from your AT&T Information Systems
Account Team. In order to prevent an unauthorized person from learning the password, the password characters are
not displayed when they are entered.

2.1.B Entering Your Password

After you turn on the System Administration Terminal (SAT), you see the following prompt:
Enter Password->
(If you do not see this prompt, enter <RETURN>.)
Enter your password followed by <RETURN>.

2.1.C Invalid Password Entry

If an invalid password is entered, you see an error message followed by the password prompt. The
sequence is:
That is not the password! Enter Password->

2.1.D Successful Log-in

When you have entered the correct password, the terminal displays the MAIN MENU from which you can select administration functions.

2.1.E Leaving an Administration Session

When you complete an administration session, or if you want to interrupt a session at any point, just turn off the terminal.
You can also end an administration session by:
Unplugging the cable from the modular jack connecting the terminal to the system.
Disconnecting the RS232 connector from the terminal.
Hanging up to drop the DTR signal on disconnect if you are connected via a modem.

Administration Manual
AT&T System 25

2.2 THE SYSTEM 25 ADMINISTRATION MAIN MENU

When you have logged in to the administration terminal, you see the MAIN MENU displayed. This menu allows you to enter one of several command areas.
Once you have selected an item from the MAIN MENU, you enter the command level consisting of Action items and Data items. Some commands (e.g., PORT, DGC, and PDC) require an additional target parameter. These commands will be discussed in detail in Section 2.3.A.
The MAIN MENU display is as follows (you may find minor variations on your display):
MAIN MENU
PORT
1) PDC
2) DUPLICATE
3) SYSTEM
4) FPDC
5)
6)
DGC
Make one selection from menu->

2.2.A MAIN MENU Selections

The MAIN MENU items can be described briefly as follows:
PORT
1) Allows you to administer Station, Trunk, Data port, or Special port parameters by physical
port number. That physical location is described by a set of digits in the format CSSPP, where C represents the one-digit cabinet number, SS represents the two-digit slot number, and PP represents the two-digit number for the port. For example, a PORT value of
10704 describes port 4 (04) in cabinet number 1, slot number 7 (07).
PDC
2) Allows you to administer Station parameters by Personal Dial Code (PDC) number.
PDCs are similar to extension numbers; the valid range for PDCs is 1 through 9999.
3)
DUPLICATE
TOLL ALLOWED LIST
7) SEARCH
8) SAVE/RESTORE
9)
RS232
10)
ARS
11)
reserved
12)
(This feature is not yet implemented.)
4)
SYSTEM
Allows you to administer system wide parameters.
5)
FPDC
Allows you to administer Floating PDC numbers.
6)
DGC
Allows you to administer Direct Group Calling (DGC) groups.
7)
TOLL ALLOWED LIST

SEARCH
Allows you to search various groups of system parameters as well as review a log of system
reported errors.
SAVE/RESTORE
9) Allows you to write translations to, read translations from, and compare the system
translations to translations on the digital tape unit (DTU).
10)
RS232
Allows you to assign Administration, DTU, and SMDR port options.
11)
ARS
Allows you to administer Automatic Route Selection.
reserved
12)
(Reserved for future expansion.)

2.2.B Selecting a MAIN MENU Item

To select an item from the MAIN MENU, type the number of the desired item followed by a RETURN character.
If you type a RETURN character by itself or if you type a number outside the range from 1
through 12, you see the following message:
Must be a number from 1-12 Make one selection from menu->

2.2.C Correcting Typing Errors

You can correct a typing error by typing a backspace character. If your keyboard does not have a BACKSPACE key, press the CONTROL key (sometimes abbreviated CTL or CTRL) at the same time that you press the "h" key to generate the equivalent of a BACKSPACE key.
When you type a backspace character, your terminal responds by generating a new display line. This line contains all the characters you had typed except for the last character. For each backspace character generated, you will see a new line with one fewer input characters. For example, if at some prompt you typed four characters and discovered that you needed only the first two, you would press the BACKSPACE key twice. Your terminal respoinds to the first backspace character by displaying a line with your last input character removed; it responds to the second by displaying the line once again with the third input character removed. You can use this technique
(on both video display terminals and printing terminals) to remove unneeded characters or to replace incorrectly typed characters.

2.2.D Strange Output

If you should accidentally hit the <ESCAPE> key on your SAT, the SAT may display highly abbreviated responses. This indicates that the SAT is operating in a mode used for personal computer based administration. The best thing to do at this point is to turn off the SAT for five seconds. turn it back on, and log in again. Be sure to check the last items you were administering
before proceeding.
Page 2-3
Administration Manual
AT&T System 25

2.3 COMMAND FORMATS

The basic format of a system administration command consists of two items: an ACTION number, and a DATA value.
The following example shows the format of a completed command line for the PORT command
(MAIN MENU selection 1):
Port=10101 Action=1 Data=201

2.3.A Syntax ACTION: An ACTION number provides you with a window through which to view system

administration functions. You choose an ACTION (by number) to examine or change System 25 attributes.
DATA: A DATA value controls a specific System 25 function. In general, a DATA value is the current value of the parameter specified by the ACTION number. To change the current value of an administration parameter, you change the DATA value.
TARGET: Some commands also require a third information number, a target. The target is a Personal Dialing Code (PDC), a PORT number, a Direct Group Calling (DGC) number, a Toll Calls Allowed List number, or an RS232 Channel number associated with certain ACTION numbers and DATA values. Please note that the words "Action" and "Data" actually appear on command lines. The word "Target" does NOT appear on a command line—instead, the target type
(e.g., PORT, as shown above) is displayed.
This is the basic command format used in System 25 administration. Before beginning the section on entering or changing numbers, you should understand error messages and warnings generated by the system.
You will find examples of each of these prompts or commands in Section 2.3.C, "Basic Command
Functions."

2.3.B Error Messages, Print Messages, and Warning Messages

During an administration session, there are occasions when you may enter inappropriate information at a prompt. While System 25 cannot catch all errors, it does have the ability to filter a great many.
System 25 has three means of responding to incorrect input: 1) an error message, 2) a print message, and 3) a warning.
ERROR MESSAGES: Error messages are in the general form:
Error nnnn aaaaa aaaa
A second level of help is also available. If you need more information about an error message in the form above, you can type a question mark, "?," at the next prompt. You will see a second message in the this general form:
Error nnnn
bbbbb bbbb
[Where nnnn is a number] [Where aaaaa aaaa is a message]
[Where nnnn is a number] [Where bbbbb bbbb is an expanded message]
Error messages can occur at any of three prompt levels: 1) a TARGET prompt, 2) an ACTION prompt, or 3) a DATA prompt.
Page 2-4
AT&T System 25 Administration Manual
Consider a specific example. Most voice terminals can be removed from the system through the PORT selection on the MAIN MENU. However, the Attendant Console can be deleted only through the SYSTEM selection on the MAIN MENU. Assume that someone attempts to remove the Attendant Console from the system through the PORT selection.
Prompts and inputs are represented in bold lettering. Comments on the process are contained in square brackets.

PRINT MESSAGES: This kind of message is straightforward; it conveys information. A print message does not describe an error condition.
A print message appears at the end of certain search lists, for example. If you enter the SEARCH option (item 8 from the MAIN MENU) and search the table of most recent system errors, you see
the message
P16: END OF LIST
when you reach the end of that list.
Page 2-5
Administration Manual
WARNING MESSAGES: A warning message provides you the opportunity to reconsider the administration activity you are about to perform. One of the more vivid possibilities for serious repercussions would be your command to COLD START the system.
For example, a COLD START removes all the current translations in the system, installs default translations, and cancels all calls in progress on the system. The COLD START command, which can be issued from MAIN MENU item 9 (SAVE/RESTORE), produces serious system disruption.
(This command should be used only by qualified systems technicians.)
If you issue an administration command to FORCE A SYSTEM COLD START, you see the warning message
W23: YOU ARE ABOUT TO FORCE A COLD START c for continue, any other key for abort
>
At this point, you can still change your mind and back out of the cold start action by entering any
character except "c."

2.3.C Basic Command Functions

You were introduced to the basic command formats in Section 2.3.A. This section shows you how
to enter or change: an ACTION number, a DATA value, a PORT, or a PDC value. Please
observe that you do not have to press the <RETURN> key when you enter non-numeric
characters with these commands. Also note that you you enter the letter M (upper or lower case) in
response to any prompt, you will be returned to the MAIN MENU.
AT&T System 25
1. Changing an Action Number. The basic command format shows the current value of the parameter associated with its ACTION number and the target (if any) that you indicated for that command,
If you wish to move to another ACTION number, type A or a on the keyboard. When you see the Action= prompt, you enter the number of a valid ACTION followed by the RETURN character.
Here is an example of the A command: You see:
SYSTEM: Action=1 Data=10801
>
You enter A6< RETURN > and see
> Action=6
SYSTEM: Action=6 Data=30
>
The ACTION numbers for all command areas are described in more detail in the
COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS section of this manual. You should also see Section 2.3.D, ACTION GROUPS, for commands that require more than one ACTION for their completion.
Page 2-6
AT&T System 25
2.
Changing a Data Value. To change the DATA value associated with an ACTION, type D or d on the keyboard. When you seethe Data= prompt, you enter the valid data value followed
by the RETURN character.
Here is an example of the D command:
You see:
SYSTEM: Action=7 Data=3
>
To change, you enter D5<RETURN> and see
> Data=5
SYSTEM: Action=7 Data=5
>
Changing a Port or Personal Dialing Code (PDC) Value. When you select item 1 from the
3. MAIN MENU, you administer ports by specifying their physical location.
If you select item 2 from the MAIN MENU, you can administer only station ports. However, this time you specify the PDC of the station you want to administer. The action/data items for this menu item are the same as those for the PORT menu selection. (See Sections 5.4 through 5.6.) (Consult the COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS section of this manual [Sections 5.2 through 5.6] for a description of the ACTION numbers for this menu item.)
Administration Manual
A PORT value is a number that represents a station, trunk, data port, or special feature port. A port is described by its physical location in the System 25 hardware.
That physical location is indicated by a set of digits in the format CSSPP, where C represents the one-digit cabinet number, SS represents the two-digit slot number, and PP represents the two-digit number for the port.
For example, a PORT value of 10704 describes port 4 (04) in cabinet number 1, slot
number 7 (07). To change the PORT associated with an ACTION you type the T or t (Target select)
character on the keyboard. (Remember, you do not have to enter a RETURN character with these non-numeric characters.)
When you see the Port= prompt, you enter the value of the PORT (i.e., the digits identifying the CSSPP discussed above) followed by <RETURN>.
Here is an example of the T (Target select) command with PORT (MAIN MENU item 1):
You see:
Port=10101 Action=1 Data=201
>
You enter T20608<RETURN> and see:
> Port=20608
Action=
Page 2-7
Administration Manual
Stations can be modified by selecting the PDC menu item. Now, instead of specifying the physical location of the port, as you did in the preceding example, you specify its PDC value.
Here is an example of the T (Target select) command with PDC (MAIN MENU item 2):
You see:
PDC=9876 Action=1 Data=201
>
You enter T8765<RETURN> and see:
> PDC=8765
Action=

2.3.D Action Groups

Some ACTION numbers are part of groups. These groups are sets of closely related system parameters that need to be changed as a group. For example, when you assign a voice terminal, you
must also assign a PDC. (See the example at the end of this section.)
AT&T System 25
The number of ACTIONs may vary from group to group, but no group contains more than five ACTIONs. All ACTION values within a particular group are consecutive. Within a group, whenever you change a parameter, you are advanced automatically to the next ACTION; this process will continue through the last ACTION in that group.
After modifying a parameter that is part of an ACTION group, you must complete the modifications to the group by entering DATA values for the the remaining ACTION numbers, This protects System 25 from acting on partially complete data. When changing DATA values associated with these groups of ACTION numbers you will be advanced automatically to the next ACTION after you change the DATA value.
You may change ACTION numbers with the A command as before.
It is important for you to note that if you change to an ACTION number outside of the group you are currently in, all the data values entered for that group remain as they were before you began modifying the group. In other words, if you leave a group before the last DATA for that group is entered, all changes for that group are abandoned.
Here is an example of administering an ACTION GROUP:
You see:
Port=10101 Action=1 Data=0
You enter D201<RETURN> and see:
Page 2-8
> Data=201
Port=10101 Action=1 Data=201
>
Port=10101 Action=2 Data=0
> Data=
AT&T System 25
You enter 6789<RETURN> and see:
> Data=6789
Port=10101 Action=2 Data=6789
>

2.3.E Lists, Searches, and Port Removal

Several MAIN MENU selection areas involve administering a group or "list." These areas are DGC, FPDC, TOLL ALLOWED LIST, and ARS. There are also Night Service Trunk lists under the PORT and PDC main menu items.
Each of these areas includes a "display" ACTION to show each member of the list. Selecting this ACTION will produce the first member of the list. To see the next member in the list, type a C or a c to continue. For example, if you selected MAIN MENU item 5 (FPDC) and wanted to display active FPDCs:
You see:
> Action=
Administration Manual
You enter 1<RETURN> and see:
> Action= 1
c to continue list, anything else to abort
>
PDC: Action=1 Data=6666
>
You enter C and see:
FPDC: Action=1 Data=7777
>
You enter C and see:
FPDC: Action=1 Data=8888
>
You enter C and see:
FPDC: Action=1 Data=9999
>
You enter C and see:
P16: END OF LIST FPDC: Action=1 Data=0
>
Page 2-9
Administration Manual
You may also "abort" the list by using one of the other commands discussed above (i.e., T, A, D, or
M).
The SEARCH area of the menu is similar to the lists described above. However, most types of search require at least two steps. Within SEARCH, "Action=1 Data=[data value]" identifies the type of search you want; "Action=2 Data=[data value]" narrows the range of that search. A few search areas require yet a third step, "Action=3 Data=[data value]." When the type of search and the required qualifiers are specified, you begin the actual search by typing C or c, "commence search."
When (under PORT or PDC on the MAIN MENU) you try to remove a port from the system, there are several kinds of associations that you may wish to investigate before you remove that port from the system. These associations (for example, the appearance of a trunk on several station buttons or an external alert associated with a station) are called BLOCKS. System 25 generates warning messages about these blocks so that you do not perform an administration function that goes beyond your intent. For each type of association, you will see a warning message, To go on with the action, you respond to the system message "c for continue, any other key for abort." When there are no more associations with a station port you wish to remove, you will see the warning message, W18: NO MORE BLOCKS. The message is displayed to prevent you from accidentally removing a port from the system.
AT&T System 25

2.3.F Default Station Numbers (PDCs) and Dial Codes

Each time it is COLD STARTED, System 25 assigns PDCs/DDCs and trunk numbers by default to all ports on circuit packs that are in the system.
The default trunk numbers assigned are 0001 through 0104. The default station dial codes are: 200 through 238 and 300 through 355 (multiline voice terminals), 400 through 599 (single-line voice terminals), 600 through 704 (data terminals). The default system dial codes are: 100, 101, and 102 (for loop start, ground start, and tie trunks, respectively); 800 through 807 (attendant call park), 810 for night service, and 820 (pooled modem).
If these defaults conflict with PDCs/DDCs or trunk numbers that you wish to use for other
purposes, see Section 4.1 and the first page of Section 5.

AT&T System 25 Administration Manual

3. USING THE DIGITAL TAPE UNIT TO SAVE AND RESTORE

If you do not have a digital tape unit, you should skip this section.
NOTE: This section assumes that your digital tape unit is correctly connected and that the
power is on. See the AT&T Installation and Test Manual (555-500-100) for further information. It also assumes that you will use a high quality audio cassette tape. It is important that you make two (2) backup tapes and that you verify each of those tapes at any point at which you save translations.
BE SURE THAT THE TAPE DECK IS PLUGGED INTO CONNECTOR "3" OF THE CABLE. For Action=1, the PLAY and RECORD buttons must first be depressed. For Action=2 and Action=3, the PLAY button must be depressed.
CAUTION: Action=3 will interrupt phone service for about five minutes.

3.1 INSERT CASSETTE AND REWIND TAPE

1. Press the STOP/EJECT button on the tape unit. The plastic cover over the cassette well will pop up.
2. Insert the cassette into the cassette well (Side A up) so that the exposed tape faces the the tape unit's buttons. Press the cassette downward until it snaps into place.
Close the plastic cover.
3.
4. Press the REWIND key, and wait for the tape unit to completely rewind tape. [You should do this before beginning any save, verify, or restore operation so that you know you are at the beginning of the tape.]
NOTE: You do not have to be concerned about the clear "leader" material at the beginning and end of the tape. The system will start the tape at the correct point.
Page 3-1
Administration Manual
AT&T System 25

3.2 SAVE YOUR TRANSLATIONS

It is most unlikely that your System 25 would encounter a major catastrophe in which all your translations were lost. However, if such an event were to occur, a backup tape would allow you to restore system translations (the most current you have saved) in about five minutes.
It takes only five minutes to perform a SAVE operation, which is substantially less than the time required to reenter all translations from paper forms.
To SAVE:
Insert cassette and rewind the tape.
1. Press the two buttons RECORD and PLAY simultaneously. [The tape unit will not yet begin
2. to operate.]
Log in to your System Administration Terminal (SAT) if you have not already done so.
3. Enter 9 at the main menu prompt. (SAVE/RESTORE)
4.
Enter 1<RETURN> at "Action=" prompt. You will then see the line:
5.
Save/Restore Action=1 Data=
6. Enter D. Enter 1<RETURN> at "Data=" prompt.
You see the message:
W24: YOU ARE ABOUT TO START A TAPE SAVE c for continue, any other key for abort
7.
Enter C.
The entire line should now read: Save/Restore: Action=1 Data=1
The tape unit automatically starts the SAVE procedure. CAUTION: System 25 does not know whether your tape unit is actually running at this
point. For example, if you forgot to press the RECORD button along with the PLAY button, the system cannot tell you that. You might only discover this problem by using the VERIFY function.
When the save is complete, the tape unit stops.
If the save is successful, the SAT displays: SAVE COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY
Press the STOP/EJECT button on the tape unit.
8. Rewind the tape.
9.
10. Run the VERIFY operation on this tape (see next procedure).
If the save is not successful, the SAT will display: SAVE FAILED
The procedure for troubleshooting is as follows:
Rewind the tape and perform the SAVE procedure again.
11. If this save is not successful, follow your local instructions
12. If this save is successful, follow steps 8 through 10 above.
13.

AT&T System 25
Administration Manual

3.3 VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE SAVED TRANSLATIONS

You should always verify a completed tape save operation. Successful completion of the VERIFY command assures you that what you have saved on tape matches exactly the translations in your
system. To VERIFY:
1. Insert cassette and rewind the tape (as required).
2. Press the PLAY button on the tape unit.
3. Log in to your SAT.
Enter 9 at the main menu prompt. (SAVE/RESTORE)
4.
5. Enter 2<RETURN> at "Action=" prompt. You see the line:
Save/Restore: Action=2 Data=
6. Enter D. Enter 1<RETURN> at "Data=" prompt.
You see the message:
W25: YOU ARE ABOUT TO START A TAPE VERIFY c for continue, any other key to abort
Enter C.
7.
The entire line should now read: Save/Restore: Action=2 Data=1
The tape unit automatically starts the VERIFY procedure at this point.
When the verification is complete, the tape unit stops. If the verification is successful, the SAT displays: VERIFY COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY
8.
Rewind the tape.
Label the tape with the date and time. Store the tape in a safe place.
9.
If the verification is successful, the SAT displays: VERIFY FAILED
The procedure for troubleshooting is as follows:
Rewind the tape and perform the verification procedure again. If the verification fails a
10. second time, perform the SAVE and VERIFY procedures again.
11.
If this verification is not successful, follow your local instructions
12.
If this verification is successful, follow steps 8 and 9 above.

3.4 RESTORE THE SYSTEM TRANSLATIONS FROM A BACKUP TAPE

This section describes how to restore the translations you saved earlier.
NOTE: When you RESTORE, you lose System 25 service for the period (about five minutes) required to complete the restoration.
To RESTORE:
Insert cassette and rewind the tape (as required).
1.
Press the PLAY button on the tape unit.
2. Log in to your SAT.
3.
Enter 9 at the main menu prompt. (SAVE/RESTORE)
4. Enter 3<RETURN> at "Action=" prompt. You see the line
5.
Save/Restore: Action=3 Data=
Enter D. Enter 1<RETURN> at "Data=" prompt.
6.
You see the message:
W26: YOU ARE ABOUT TO START A TAPE RESTORE c for continue, any other key for abort
7.
Enter C.
The entire line should now read: Save/Restore: Action=3 Data=1 The tape unit automatically starts the RESTORE procedure at this point.
8.
When the restoration is complete, the tape unit stops.
If the restoration is successful, the SAT displays: INITIATED WARM START
Following this procedure, the system then automatically "warm starts" to initialize the system's
ports with the options read into the system via the tape restoration. Rewind the tape.
9. Store the tape in a safe place.
10.
If the restoration is not successful, the SAT displays: RESTORE FAILED
The procedure for troubleshooting is as follows:
Rewind the tape and perform the restoration procedure again. If the restoration fails a second
11. time, get a blank tape. Using this tape, perform the SAVE and VERIFY procedures on the system's current translations. Then, perform the RESTORE procedure using this test tape.
If this restoration is not successful, DO NOT use your backup system translation tape. (Your
12. data tape unit may be malfunctioning. If that is the case, it could destroy the backup tape as
well.) Follow your local instructions.
13.
If the restoration is successful using the test tape, perform the RESTORE procedure using
your backup system translation tape.

Administration Manual

4. INITIALIZING THE SYSTEM

This section outlines the procedure for administering initial system translations (that is, for
initializing) AT&T System 25.
To initialize the system, the desired configuration must be known. The System 25 implementation
forms contain all the information necessary to initialize the system, and they also form the basis for
system Administration Records. These forms should be properly organized in the Administration
Records Binder.
As the system is initialized, it is essential that all port assignments be written on the forms as the ports are translated. Failure to do this will make future changes and additions very difficult.
In initializing the system, the steps outlined below be should be followed in the sequence indicated. Difficulties may arise if this sequence is not followed.

4.1 DEFAULT TRANSLATIONS

Each time it is COLD STARTED, System 25 assigns station PDCs/DDCs and trunk numbers by
default to all circuit packs that are in the system. As you attempt to assign dial codes to stations
and trunks following the steps outlined in the next section, you may encounter error messages
indicating that the numbers/codes you are trying to assign are already assigned. It may be that the default numbering plan conflicts with the one you are implementing. If this happens, change the offending default code to one that is consistent with the desired dial plan.
The default trunk numbers assigned by the system are 0001 through 0104. Stations are assigned
the following default dial codes: 200 through 238 and 300 through 355 (multiline voice terminals),
400 through 599 (single-line voice terminals), 600 through 704 (data terminals), 800 through 807
(attendant call park), 810 (night service), and 820 (pooled modem). Trunks are assigned the
following default dial codes: 100 (loop start), 101 (ground start), and 102 (tie).
It is also important to untranslate any unassigned trunk ports on System 25. Since outgoing trunk selection of pooled facilities is made in reverse order of trunk assignment (last assigned is first selected), default assigned trunks that are not actually connected to incoming facilities will result in the selection of unconnected port circuits for outgoing calls. The system will busy out such ports after they have been tried once unsuccessfully. The circuit pack will display a red alarm LED and the Attendant Console alarm (green) will turn on. Then you will have to clear the alarm and untranslated the port.

4.2 INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE

When you administer the initial translations, it is important that you begin from a known condition. You can establish a known condition by forcing a COLD START (MENU 9, Action=20, Data=1). A Cold Start (which takes about 3 minutes) causes the system to check all slots for valid circuit pack (CP) types and assigns default translations to all ports (except auxiliary trunk ports).
During a Cold Start, the SAT will list all circuit packs in the system, by cabinet, and indicate any
valid types/version detected. When the Cold Start is complete, every CP (except the Memory and Auxiliary Trunk) should show a green LED; in addition, the yellow LED on the Service Circuit should be flashing or steady. No red LEDs should be on.
If you cannot bring your system to this state, refer to the System 25 Maintenance Manual before proceeding.
Page 4-1
Administration Manual
When you initialize a System 25, following the steps listed in this section, you should accept default values for all options and parameters not listed on the implementation forms. These defaults have been chosen to provide good service for most customers.
1.
From the information provided on the System Options Form, enter system toll restriction options, call coverage options, pooled modem options, and other system options following the procedures in Section 5.1.
2.
From the information on the Toll Calls Allowed Lists form, enter these lists following the
procedure in Section 5.1.
3.
From the Floating Personal Dial Code Directory, enter all Floating PDCs following the
procedure in Section 5.1.
4.
From the System Speed Dialing Directory, enter System Speed Dialing Numbers following the
procedure in Section 5.1.
5.
From the information provided on the Trunk forms, assign all trunk ports and assign each
trunk's Class-Of-Service, following the procedures in Section 5.2. Be sure to record port
assignments on the Trunk forms.
6.
From the information provided on the Auxiliary Equipment Options form, assign and set up
any special feature ports following the procedures in Section 5.3. Again, be sure to record port
assignments.
AT&T System 25
From the information provided on the Voice and Data Station Records form, assign all station
7. ports (except for attendant consoles), following the procedures in Section 5.4. Do NOT enter Class-Of-Service parameters yet. Be sure to record each station's port assignment on the
individual Voice Terminal or Data Terminal forms as you assign them.
From information on the Attendant Options and Attendant Console forms, assign ports and
8. enter Class-Of-Service, attendant features and button features for the Attendant Console(s) following the procedures in Section 5.5 and 5.6.
From the Terminal Forms, enter Class-Of-Service information for all voice and data stations
9.
(and button assignments for multiline voice terminals) following the procedures in Sections 5.4
and 5.6.
From information on the Direct Group Calling Directory form, enter DGC groups following
10. the procedure in Section 5.7.
From the information provided on the Automatic Route Selection forms, enter ARS options
11. and patterns following the procedure in Section 5.8.
Follow the procedures in Section 3 for saving the system translations and verifying their
12.
accuracy.
The system is now initialized. Be sure to test to ensure that the system is properly initialized following the procedures in System 25's Installation and Test Manual (555-500-100).

5. COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS

This section provides instructions for accomplishing specific administrative tasks. You should NOT attempt to perform these tasks until you have read the first two sections of this manual.
If you are Initializing this system, be sure to follow the procedures outlined in Section 4. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious operating difficulties!
Recommended (or default) values are provided for many administration parameters. Some of these are marked with an "@" symbol because it is strongly recommended that values marked with this symbol be chosen/defaulted. Selecting non-standard values for these parameters without fully understanding the implications of such choices may lead to unsatisfactory results.
NOTE: A number of action/data pairs are parts of action groups. That is, if you enter an action/data pair, you MUST complete the remaining action/data pairs in the group. If you do not complete the required sequence, the data originally in the system will remain. For example, if you wish to assign a voice terminal or change a voice terminal, you must first assign the voice station type. Then, you MUST assign that voice terminal a PDC. If you do not assign a PDC, the new voice terminal will not be assigned. When you complete each action/data pair in sequence, System 25 will automatically prompt you for the next action/data pair. In this manual, Action/data pairs of this kind are indicated with a special mark, "§." The last item in such a group is not so marked because no more items are required after the last.
Each time it is COLD STARTED, System 25 assigns PDCs/DDCs and trunk numbers by default to all ports on circuit packs that are in the system. The default trunk numbers assigned are 0001 through 0104. The default station dial codes are: 200 through 238 and 300 through 355 (multiline voice terminals), 400 through 599 (single-line voice terminals), 600 through 704 (data terminals). The default system dial codes are: 100, 101, and 102 (for loop start, ground start, and tie trunks,
respectively); 800 through 807 (attendant call park), 810 for night service, and 820 (modem request code—pooled modem). If these defaults conflict with PDCs/DDCs or trunk numbers that you wish
to use for other purposes, you must reassign the default code. To reassign a station dial code, follow the procedure in Section 5.4.C. To reassign a trunk number, follow the procedure "Assigning a Trunk Number" in Section 5.2.A.
A few action/data pairs have been intentionally omitted from Section 5. [The items are: MAIN
MENU item 1, Actions=31 through 39; MAIN MENU item 9, Actions=10 and 20.] These commands, for maintenance and special system configurations, are for use by qualified Systems Technicians only. (These action/data pairs are included in the reference section at the end of this manual; explanations of their functions can be found in the AT&T System 25 Maintenance Manual
[555-500-105]).
REMINDER: The basic administration commands are: m=MAIN MENU; t=target;
a=action; d=data; c=continue. These commands can be entered at any time to access
prompts and change the current menu, target, action, or data. You do NOT press
<RETURN> after typing these.

5.1.G System Speed Dialing

System Speed Dialing allows a four-character code, #100 through #189 (assigned in "Action=25" below), to be used in place of up to 28 dialed digits.
The assignment of the digits (in "Action= 26" below) is subject to the following rules.
The number of digits and pauses must be no greater than 28.
The * character can be used. It means a one and one-half second pause.
There is a limited number of digits available in the system for use with speed dialing and repertory dialing numbers. When that limit is reached (on average three speed dialing numbers per voice terminal on a full system), no additional speed dialing or repertory dialing numbers are available. Consequently, it is important that unused speed dialing or repertory dialing numbers be removed
(using "Action=26" below) to free those digits for use with active numbers.

5.2 TRUNKS

This section describes how to assign and remove trunks. It also describes the procedure for assigning class-of-service parameters for various types of trunks. All procedures described below are performed after selecting MAIN MENU item 1 [PORT].

5.2.A Trunk, Assign

The first step is defining the trunk type. That is accomplished by following procedure. Data will be a number, N, a trunk type obtained from the table below.
NOTE: Remember that a number of action/data pairs are parts of action groups. That is, if you enter an action/data pair, you MUST complete the remaining action/data pairs in the group. If you do not complete the required sequence, the data originally in the system will remain. When you complete each action/data pair in sequence, System 25 will automatically prompt you for the next action/data pair. In this manual, Action/data pairs of this kind are indicated with a special mark, "§." The last item in such a group is not so marked because no more items are required after the last.

5.5 ATTENDANT EQUIPMENT

This section explains how to:
assign the attendant console(s),
1.
2.
remove an attendant console,
3.
assign attendant class-of-service parameters, assign attendant console features,
4.
5. assign the selector console(s), and
6.
remove a selector console.
Remember that AT&T System 25 by default assigns a Primary Attendant Console to the first ATL port in the system, That Attendant Console has a default PDC of 200. You may use that PDC, or you may change the PDC by going to the procedure "Assigning or Changing an Attendant Dial Code" immediately below. The Attendant Console can always be reached by dialing 0 as well.
System 25 also assigns a primary Selector (DXS) Console, associated with the Primary Attendant Console, to the second ATL port in the system.
Therefore, if you do not have a DXS Console or an Attendant Console and you want to install voice terminals at either or both of those ports, you have to remove the default assignments before you can reassign these ports.

5.5.A Primary Attendant Console, Install

Normally, you will use the system default port assignment for the Primary Attendant Console. In this case, you may wish to change only the PDC for the Attendant Console. That change can be
made following the procedure "Assigning the Attendant Dial Code" below.
The installation of a Primary Attendant Console at a port other than the default port is described
below.
NOTE: Before you can install the Primary Attendant Console at a port other than the default port, you MUST remove the default port translation for the Attendant Console. You can find this port by entering its PDC (PDC=200) under MAIN MENU Item 2.

5.6 BUTTON ASSIGNMENTS

This section describes how to assign buttons to: A) multiline sets, B) attendant console(s), and C) selector console(s).
NOTE: Some button assignment features (e.g., Auto Intercom and Station-to-Station
Message Waiting) require administration of buttons on more than one voice terminal. Such features become fully operable (and available for testing) only after BOTH voice terminals have been administered.
Assigning buttons for multiline sets and the attendant console(s) is done through MAIN MENU item 2 [PDC]. Minimally, two actions, "Action=100" and "Action=101" sequences will be performed. "Action=l00" requires you to select the button to which the feature will be assigned. "Action=101" will identify the feature to be assigned. In some cases, additional Action/Data information must be entered to complete a button assignment.
AT&T System 25 provides default button assignments. Those assignments are identified on the button-assignment tables on the following pages.
The default button assignment shown for the Attendant Console is for the primary console. The default button assignment for a secondary console is similar. The major difference between them is that buttons 17 through 24 and 29 through 35 default to trunks on the primary console, but have no default assignments on the secondary console.
The button numbering system for terminals is as follows: SET TYPE BUTTON NUMBERS
5-Button 7 through 11 3
10-Button 7 through 16
34-Button
Attendant Console 7 through 40
NOTE: Even though the MET set has ten buttons, only three of these buttons are assignable for System 25. For purposes of Button Assignment, the MET set is treated as a 5-Button Merlin CS set. The top five buttons are numbered 7 through 11. The remaining buttons are fixed and cannot be asingned. See the table "BUTTON NUMBERING MET SET DEFAULTS" (on the following pages) for the button functions.
The Selector Console (DXS) has seven buttons that can be assigned. It also has a non-
programmable test button located at the right-hand end of the button row. Each of these buttons is a "base" number. For example, if the first programmable DXS Console button is set to "10..," the attendant can access the PDCs 1000 through 1099 (i.e., the "base" number plus one of the fixed DXS Console numbers, 00 through 99). If the second programmable DXS Console button is set to
"2..," the attendant can access the PDCs 200 through 299.
7 through 40
NUMBER OF ASSIGNABLE
BUTTONS
8
32
26
Page 5-43
Administration Manual
AT&T System 25
The DXS Console button defaults are: button 1 is assigned "2.." (it can access the range from 200 through 299), button 2 is assigned "3..", and the remaining buttons are assigned in this sequence so that button 7 is assigned "8..".
NOTE: If you have a primary and a secondary DXS Console, the two consoles will always have identical assignemnts. If you install them both and accept system defaults, both consoles will have the defaults. If you change a button assignment on the primary DXS Console, the corresponding button is reassigned on the secondary DXS Console. If you change a button assignment on the secondary DXS, the corresponding button on the primary DXS Console is reassigned.

NOTE: Remember that a number of action/data pairs are parts of action groups. That is, if you enter an action/data pair, you MUST complete the remaining action/data pairs in the group. If you do not complete the required sequence, the data originally in the system will remain. When you complete each action/data pair in sequence, System 25 will automatically prompt you for the next action/data pair. In this manual, Action/data pairs of this kind are indicated with a special mark, "§." The last item in such a group is not so marked because no more items are required after the last.

NOTE: If you have a primary and a secondary Selector Console, the two consoles will always have identical assignments. If you change a button assignment on either console, the corresponding button is reassigned on the other.
Assignments in this section make extensive use of the WILDCARD character. The WILDCARD character, the period ".," is provided to allow you to enter a character that represents any valid digit
(0 through 9). For example, the WILDCARD digit is sometimes used to specify any PDC value
between 400 and 499 by entering 4.. <RETURN>. In this example, the two WILDCARD characters placed in the ones and tens position represent the 100 values from 00 through 99. The 4 represents the leading hundreds digit.
This section assumes that you know the Port Number for the selector console(s), since the DXS Consoles do not have PDCs.
The procedure for assigning DXS Console buttons begins with the following step.

NOTE: "Action=21" with a default "base" number of 2.. is the first of seven possible DXS

If you attempt to add to a DGC group a station already assigned to another DGC group, the system will generate a warning message. If you enter a C ("continue") at this point, the system generates another warning (NO MORE BLOCKS). If you really want to remove the member from its
current group and add it to the new target group, you will enter another C. (If you do NOT want
to make this change, just enter the command M to go back to the MAIN MENU.)
