AT&T System 25

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.

Page 1-1

Administration Manual

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

Allows you to administer Toll Calls Allowed Lists.

8)

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]

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.

Page 2-10

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.

Page 3-2

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.

AT&T System 25

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).

Administration Manual

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

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.

5.6.C Selector (DXS) Console

See the introduction to section 5.6, "Button Assignments," for a description of the button
assignments for the Selector (DXS) Console, for the button defaults, and for a brief explanation of
the button functions.

You Enter:

You Enter:

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.

From Prompt: You Enter:

MAIN MENU 1

Port= CSSPP

To assign seven PDC ranges to DXS Console Buttons 1 through 7: Data will be in the form N..,
where N is the digit representing the hundreds group and ". is the WILDCARD character described
above. The allowable range is from .. (PDCs from 1 through 99) through 99.. (PDCs from 9900
through 9999).

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

Console PDC ranges. You would assign the additional PDC ranges by using the numbers 22
through 27 at the "Action=" prompt. The corresponding default PDC ranges for the
"Data=" prompt are 3.. through 8...

5.7 DIRECT GROUP CALLING (DGC) GROUPS

A maximum of 32 DGC groups can be assigned; therefore, target values (i.e., your response to the

"DGC=" prompt) will be a number from 1 through 32. Each group has a maximum of 10
members.

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.)

From Prompt:

Using Action=1, you can determine the access code of an existing DGC group or assign an access
code to a new group. If you assign 0 to an existing group, the group will be removed!
