System registration
When your Enterprise Edge system is installed and operational, it registers specific
information with a Tivoli Management Region (TMR) server. The goal of
registration is to build a customer profile containing system inventory information
which can then be used to bring you enhanced support and value-added services.
Note: To allow automatic registration, you must connect the system to the internet.
In North America, you also have the option to connect your system to an
analog line (PSTN) to establish a dial-up connection using the v.90 modem.
The system makes repeated call attempts every 24 hours until it connects to
the Tivoli server. The repeated a ttempts the system makes to make a
connection are transparent to your use of the system. For information on
how to connect the installed v.90 modem to a telephone line, refer to the
Enterprise Edge Installation and Maintenance Guide.
For basic system registration using the public Internet, the system needs direct
access to the Internet (without going through a firewall). If access to the Internet is
through a firewall, the following configuration rules must be set on the firewall:
•F or traffic coming from the Enterprise Edge, allow all UDP and TCP traffic to
the Nortel Tivoli Gateway (192.122.98.36) on ports above 1023.
•From the Nortel Tivoli Gateway (192.122.98.36) allow TCP traffic to
Enterprise Edge on port 9495.
Basic Registration using v.90 modem (North America only)
Refer to the Enterprise Edge Installation and Maintenance Guide for information
on how to setup the Enterprise Edge v.90 modem.

VersionShows the version of the LAN interface card.
SpeedShows the speed of the connection to the LAN interface.
Connection TypeLets you select a type of connection to the LAN interface.
The following values are supported and are interpreted as follows:
Auto Sense: The LAN interface uses the auto negotiationprotocol to choose
the maximum possible speed of the connection. Depending on the connected
device, the LAN can choose 100 MB or 10MB, full-duplex or half-duplex.
10 MB Half: The speed is set to 10 Mbit/s and mode to half-duplex.
10 MB Full: The speed is set to 10 Mbit/s and mode to full-duplex.
10 MB Auto: The speed is set to 10 Mbit/s and the mode (half-duplex or
full-duplex) is automatically selected by the interface, using the auto
negotiation protocol. The 10MB Auto connection type limits the maximum
traffic coming into Enterprise Edge to 10 Mbit/s, and enables the auto
negotiation feature for easier interconnection. Limit the incoming traffic if
you notice that the bursty traffic from the connected LAN is degrading the
quality of voice calls carried through VoIP over the WAN. Though the LAN
traffic gets lower priority in Enterprise Edge, a high incoming traffic to the
Enterprise Edge server can result in service interruptions in the system,
which degrades the quality of voice calls carried as VoIP.
100 MB Half: The speed is set to 100 Mbit/s and mode to half-duplex.
100 MB Full: The speed is set to 100 Mbit/s and mode to full-duplex.
Default value: Auto Sense
StatusShows the current status of the LAN connection.
Thepossiblestatesare:
Up: The resource is operational.
Down: The resource is not operational.
Note: Consult your System Administrator for the appropriate configuration
Note: Because the Enterprise Edge WAN interface has a maximum bandwidth of
1.544 Mbit/s (T1) or 2.048 Mbit/s (E1), setting the LAN connection speed
to 10 Mbit/s does not reduce performance. However, the CPU is more
efficient if you limit your incoming traffic to 10 Mbit/s. To increase your
CPU performance, set the connected external LAN hub or switch to
10 Mbit/s or to Auto Sense.
Note: If you enable LAN Traffic Smoothing, the connection type defaults to
Auto Sense and there is no requirement on the external LAN hub or switch.
To view LAN performance:

WA N
WAN Overview
A WAN (wide area network) is a geographically dispersed data communication
network. The term WAN distinguishes a broader data communication structure
from a local area network (LAN). A WAN can be privately owned or rented, but
usually connotes the inclusion of public (shared user) networks.
Enterprise Edge is equipped with a SDL WAN Series 500 interface card with two
serial synchronous ports (Europe), or a SDL WAN Series 550 interface card with
one T1 port (with integrated CSU/DSU) and one serial synchronous port (North
America). Each port from the WAN interface provides a primary WAN connection
(WAN1, WAN2). The serial synchronous port supports the following:
•North America: V.35
•Europe: V.35 (Upper Sync Port) and X.21 (Lower Sync Port)
•Maximum line speed: 8 Mbit/sec.
Enterprise Edge provides primary and backup WAN links through dial-up
connections using a V.90 modem (North America) or ISDN BRI/PRI. For
information on V.90 modem or ISDN connections, see Dial Up. Net Link Manager
provides continuous WAN connection status monitoring. For information on Net
Link Manager, see Net Link Manager on page 229.
The permanent WAN connection is exposed as a dedicated network adapter. The
permanent link supports frame relay or Point-to-Point protocol (PPP) at the link
layer. The link protocol used depends on the existing network or on the service you
buy from your Internet service provider. The two ports provided by the SDL WAN
interface card can be independently configured to run frame relay or PPP.
Frame Relay
Enterprise Edge supports frame relay in groupmode. That is, for each physical port
(serial sync or T1 port), there is one IP address for all PVCs (permanent virtual
circuits). The available Data Link Control interface numbers are 0-1023. Of the
1023 PVCs, 16 are reserved. The maximum number of PVC’s allowed is 1008.
For a frame relay network, Enterprise Edge supports the Frame Relay Forum
standard FRF.9 compression protocol with the standard STAC compression
algorithm. Enterprise Edge software performs the compression. For information on
enabling or disabling WAN data compression, see WAN Data Compression on
page 50.
Point-to-Point-Protocol (PPP)
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a full-duplex transmission protocol for
communicationbetween two computers using a serial interface, typically apersonal
computer connected by telephone line to a server. For example, your Internet
service provider (ISP) can provide you with a PPP connection so that the ISP’s
server can respond to your requests, pass them on to the Internet, and return your
requested Internet responses to you. PPP uses theInternet protocol (IP).
Enterprise Edge supports PPP Compression Control Protocol (CCP) (RFC 1962)
with STAC compression algorithm. This compression is done by Enterprise Edge
software and can be enabled or disabled using a parameter in PPP configurations.
For information on WAN data compression, see WAN Data Compression on page
50.
WAN Data Compression
Enterprise Edge provides a WAN Data Compression feature. You can use data
compression on permanent WAN connection and on backup WAN connection. By
default, WAN Data Compression is enabled on Enterprise Edge. WAN Data
Compression can be enabled or disabled from the Setting WAN Frame Relay
Parameters screen or from the WAN PPP Parameters screen, depending on your
system configuration.
On a permanent WAN connection, Enterprise Edge supports the following data
compression protocol:
•Frame Relay Forum standard FRF.9 data compression protocol with de facto
standard STAC compression algorithm
•PPP Compression Control Protocol (RFC 1962) with STAC compression
algorithm
Enterprise Edge lets you view available WAN resources.
To view available WAN resources:
1. From Unified Manager, under Resources, click WAN. The Resources section
displays the WAN interfaces (WAN1, WAN2) in a table format.
Setting global WAN parameters
If PPP is the link protocol for a WAN interface (WAN1 or WAN2), you can use an
authentication process to identify the user requesting a network connection. The
authentication process involves creating a list of user names and assigning
passwords using the PPP Password List. Enterprise Edge uses the information on
the list to verify and confirm the identity of the user. Only those users whose names
appear on the PPP Password List can access the network. The PPP Password List
configuration lets you add, modify or delete an item on the list.
To create a PPP Password List:
1. From the WAN Resources section, scroll down to the PPP Password List.
2. From the menu click Configuration and select Add PPP User&Password.
The PPP Password List dialog box appears.
3. In the P# box, type the number of the list item. For example, if you are adding
the first item on the list, the P# is P1.
Note: If you type an item number which already exists in the list, the
following message appears "You tried to add a row with existing key".
Assign a new number to the item to want to add to the list.
4. In the PPP User Name box, type the user name associated with the computer
you want Enterprise Edge to identify as a valid network user.
Note: You must overwrite the default user name User with the user name
you want to add to the list.
5. In the PPP Password box, type the password you want to assign to the user
defined in the PPP User Name box. The password can contain a combination
of lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers.
To modify an existing item on the PPP Password List:
1. From the list, click the item you want to modify. The selected item is
highlighted.
2. From the menu, click Configuration and select
Modify PPP User&Password. The PPP Password List dialog box appears.
3. Make the necessary changes.

Guidelines for Using Remote Dial-in
Consider the following guidelines when using remote dial-in:
•The same modem is shared between the remote dial-in for administration and
the backup WAN link. If a remote administration user is connected while the
primary link breaks, the automatic backup function does not occur.
•While using the back-up interface, Enterprise Edge always calls. Enterprise
Edge does not answer an incoming call from a router.
Media Services Card
Enterprise Edge applications consume Digital Signal Processor (DSP) resources.
DSP resources are controlled by software (the number of ports or services that are
available to any application) and hardware (thenumber of MSPECs) installed. Each
system is preconfigured with a default DSP resource allocation based on the
number of MSPECs installed. However, you may need to change the DSP resource
allocation using the DSP Manager if you:
•replace an MSPEC
•purchase more software
For more information on configuring DSP resource allocation, refer to:
•Rules for configuring DSP resource allocation on page 67
The following rules apply when configuring DSP resource allocations:
•When no MSPECs are installed, 8 Voice channels can be configured
•The system can be configured with a maximum of:
— 16 Voice channels
— 2 FAX channels
— 8 WAN ports
— 8 VoIP trunks
•Each MSPEC can be configured with a maximum of:
— 2 VoIP trunks
— 12 Voice channels
— 1 FAX channel
— 8 WAN ports
•Eight WAN ports will be configured automatically if there are available
MSPEC resources
•If both Voice channels and VoIP trunks are configured on the same MSPEC, a
maximum of 2 Voice channels can be configured
•If both Voice channels and WAN ports are configured on the same MSPEC, a
maximum of 4 Voice channels can be configured
•The following ports and channels cannot be configured together on the same
MSPEC:
— WAN and VoIP
— WAN and FAX
The following table lists some allowable combinations of channel types and
identifies the default configuration for some types of feature codes on a 4 MSPEC
system.

service providers and markets. Supported protocols are listed in the table below.
When you select SL-1 protocol, an additional setting, Protocol type, appears.
Because SL-1 protocol is a private networking protocol, you have the option of
designating an Enterprise Edge node as a Network (Master). The default setting is
User (Slave). In public network configurations, the CO is generally considered the
Network side or Master.
If you select the NI-2 protocol and you are using Call-by-Call services, you must
specify how Enterprise Edge should handle the NSF (Network Specific Facilities)
The table below summarizes the NSF Extension settings recommended for each
switch type.
Central OfficeNSF Extension Setting
DMS100None
Siemens ESWD, Lucent 5ESSWATS
GTD5, DMS10ALL
The Network Specific Facilities (NSF) information element is used to request a
particular service from the network.
When you select NONE, the NSF extension bit is not set for any service.
When you select WATS, the NSF extension bit is set for unbanded OUTWATS calls.
When you select ALL, the NSF extension is always set for all CbC services.
B-channel selection sequence lets you select either Ascending Sequential or
Descending Sequential depending on your service provider. You should choose
the opposite setting of your service provider.
If all lines for two EE-DTMs (configured as PRI) are in the same PRI pool, then
both cards must be set to use the descending B-channel selection sequence. As a
result, the service provider must use ascending sequential sequence.
The B-channel selection sequence for BRI QSIG is always set to Descending on
Enterprise Edge, so it must set to Ascending on the service provider.
Clock Source
Clock Source lets you designate which of the systems’ Digital Trunk Modules
(EE-DTMs) obtains the timing reference from the network to be used for
synchronization.
Systems with digital interfaces need to synchronize to the network in order to
function. Synchronization is done ina hierarchical way,where each device (switch)
obtains the network clock from the device above it in the synchronization hierarchy
and passes the network clock to the device below it in the synchronization
hierarchy. The synchronization levels are referred to as strata. BRI modules can
also be used for the timing reference.
Enterprise Edge systems are stratum 4E equipment and are usually used as
termination points in a network.
For each EE-DTM, choose one of the following settings: Primary, Secondary,or
Timing Master.
Primary reference
The EE-DTM obtains the timing reference from the network and the system
synchronizestoit. This is the default value for the first EE-DTM in Enterprise Edge.
If the system is configured with an EE-DTM (configured as PRI), the setting should
be set to Primary.
Secondary reference
The EE-DTM acts as a standby reference. If there are excessive errors on the
primary T1 reference link, or the EE-DTM designated as primary reference fails,
the second EE-DTM will obtain the timing reference from the network to be used
for system synchronization. This is the default value for the second EE-DTM in
Enterprise Edge.
The EE-DTM does not obtain timing from the network, but transmits the systems
timing to equipment connected to it.
Changing clock source may disconnect calls.
Changing the clock source for your system may cause your system to restart
itself, resulting in dropped calls. Choose a suitable time to change the clock
source and use the Page feature to inform users of possible service disruptions.
Tips
In most T1 network configurations, you need one EE-DTM configured as PRI
to act as a primary reference. The only application where you might not have a
PRI EE-DTM designated as a primary reference is in a network where your
Enterprise Edge system is connected back-to-back with another switch using a
T1 link or PRI link. If the other switch is loop-timed to your Enterprise Edge
system, your EE-DTM configured as PRI can be designated as a timing master.
If your Enterprise Edge system has two EE-DTMs, you cannot assign both
EE-DTMs as primary reference or both EE-DTMs as secondary reference.
You can only have one primary reference and one secondary reference per
system. You can have a T1 or PRI(T1) or PRI(E1) or BRI as clock source.
Call-by-call service selection
By default, incoming calls are routed based on the Called Party Number. The last
‘N’ digits of the called party numberare usedas ReceivedDigitsto find a target line
(where ‘N’ is the Received Number Length).
For example, the incoming calling party number is 800-555-1234. The received
digit number length is 4, and the result is 1234. These last four digits are used to
route the call.
Depending on the protocol and the service, alternate routing maps may be defined.
1. To change the incoming call routing for a service, select a different service
under Protocol:, Call by Call Routing, FX:
The first applicable service for the given protocol is displayed. In this
example, the service is FX.
2. Change the mapping that is applied to incoming calls of this service type to
obtain the received digits. In all cases, the received digits are used to find a
target line or to activate Remote Access.
None: No mapping is applied. The last ‘N’ digits of the Called Party Number
are used as received digits. Note that if there is no called party number (may
occur with some FX calls) the call will ring at the incoming trunk’s Prime set.
All: Lets you define the received digits used for all calls with this service
type, regardless of the called party number or service identifier (SID). For this
option, all calls with this service type on this PRI will ring the same target
line.
Map table: Lets you associate different received digits with different calls of
this service type depending on the call party number and/or the service
identifier. Incoming calls that do not match any entry defined in the map table
will ring at the prime set. Depending on the service type and the protocol, you
may be able to map the called party number (By number) and the service
identifier (SID). The following table shows the different options.

Note: This setting is available for T1 trunks configured as T1 E&M. See Trunk/
line data on page 111 for more information about configuring trunk types.
T1 Parameters (North America only)
The T1 Parameters heading appears for card types that have been configured as T1
or PRI. It lets you define a number of settings that are dependent on your T1 service
provider settings.
To program T1 Parameters:
1. Choose Resources, Media Bay Modules, Bus 02-07, Modules on Bus,Module 1,andT1 Parameters.
2. Configure the T1 parameters according to the following table:
AttributeDescription
CO failLets you select the carrier failure standard used by your T1 or PRI
service provider. Consult your T1 or PRI service provider for the proper
setting.
Values: TIA-547A or TR62411 (Default: TIA-547A)
Interface levelsLets you define a loss plan setting. For more information, see page 78
Values: ISDN or PSTN (Default: ISDN)
FramingLets you select the framing format used by your T1 or PRI service
provider: Extended Superframe (ESF) or Superframe (SF). Contact your
T1 or PRI service provider for the proper setting. ( SF or Superframe is
sometimes known as D4.)
Values: ESF or SF (Default: ESF)
Internal CSULets you turn the internal T1 channel service unit on or off. For more
information, see page 79
Values: On or Off (Default: On)
CSU line buildLets you set the gain level of the transmitted signal. This setting only
appears when the Internal CSU is set to On.
Values: 0, 7.5, or 15 dB (Default: 0)
DSX1 buildLets you set the distance between Enterprise Edge and an external
channel service unit. This setting only appears when the Internal CSU is
set to Off. Contact your service provider for the proper settings.
Values: 000-100, 100-200, 200-300, 300-400, 400-500, 500-600, or
600-700 feet (Default: 000-100)
Line codingLets you define the encoding signals on a T1 line. Select the standard
used by your T1 service provider. Contact your T1 service provider for
the proper setting.
Values: B8ZS or AMI (Default: B8ZS)
.
.
Interface levels
Interface levels defaults to the ISDN loss plan setting.
Find out if your Enterprise Edge system is connected to a central office (CO) with
digital network loss treatment (ISDN I/F levels) or analog network loss treatment
(PSTN I/F levels) by checking with your telecommunications service provider.
The ISDN setting requires digital access lines (DAL) that have digital network loss
treatment. On a DAL network, it is the PBX, rather than the CO, that administers
the dB loss. DALs may have ISDN signaling or digital (such as T1 and so on)
signaling. The loss plan follows the Draft TIA-464-C loss plan, which uses a send
loudness rating (SLR) of 8 dB. To have DAL network loss treatment on a line with
digital signaling, you must contact your service provider.
The PSTN setting requires analog access lines (AAL) thathave analog network loss
treatment and digital signaling. On an AAL(D) network, the CO administers the dB
loss.
The loss plan follows the Draft TIA-464-C loss plan. The ISDN loss plan uses a
send loudness rating (SLR) of 8 dB and a receive loudness rating (RLR) of 2 dB.
The PSTN loss plan uses an SLR of 11 dB and an RLR of -3 dB. Choosing the
wrong setting may affect voice quality, either too loud or too soft.
Internal CSU
Internal CSU lets you turn the internal T1 channel service unit on or off. The
channel service unit gathers performance statistics for your T1 lines or PRI with
public interface. Contact your service provider for the proper settings.
Note: You must disable the EE-DTM before you can change this setting. See
Media Bay Module status on page 279 for details.
You can view the performance statistics for your T1 lines in Maintenance under the
CSU stats heading. If you set the internal CSU off, there must be an external CSU
connected to your T1 lines.
E1 Parameters (Europe)
Enterprise Edge does not provide E1 parameters. If your Enterprise Edge is
connecting to a network using E1 trunks, make sure CRC4 checking is enabled at
the other end.
Configuring a data module
Module08 is reserved for a datamodule. The data module provides connectivityfor
a soft router through Enterprise Edge from facilities such as T1 and BRI. The
remote soft router server only needs to be powered up and running for the feature
tobe available. Enterprise Edge automaticallyconfigures the Module type asa Data
Module, sets the Data module type to Baystack, and sets the IP address. Baystack
is currently the only soft router supported on Enterprise Edge.
Viewing the data module settings
Use the following procedure to view the current settings for the data module.
1. Under Resources, Media Bay Modules, choose Bus 08.
Note: Before you can configure the data module for fixed access, you must first
configure an EE-DTM module as T1(see Module on page 72) and you must
set the trunk type to Fixed data channel (see Trunk/line data on page 111).
Programming the BayStack settings
When you select the BayStack data module, the following configuration settings
appear:
This is the IP Address of the BayStack data module.
Switched access (PRI & BRI)
You can assign ISDN lines to the BayStack data module to provide:
•normal data network access for the data module
•dial-up backup and overflow bandwidth (additional channels or trunks) as
needed
The line assignment and line pool access settings are displayed in Switched access.
Line assignment
Use the following procedure to assign one or more lines to the BayStack data
module for incoming data transmission:
1. In Line Assignment, enter the number of the trunk or a target line you need to
assign to the BayStack data module.
The status of the line appears as assigned to the current data module,
unassigned, or assigned to another data module. You can assign a trunk
directly to the BayStack data module.
2. Select Unassigned or Assigned.
If the line is assigned to another data module, you can reassign it to the current
data module.
3. Enter the Dial-In Number for the line (up to 24 digits). The number must
match the Dial-In Number entered for the line and channel in BayStack data
module programming.
4. Assign additional lines to the BayStack data module as required.
Line pool access
Use the following procedure to give the BayStack data module access to a line pool
for outgoing data transmission:
1. The settings for access to the line pools are displayed in Line pool access.
2. Select the line pools in the list to provide access to the BayStack data module.
You must program line pool access when you select the switched access
settings for the BayStack data module. To use PRI line pools, program the
BayStack data module to use a destination code.
For more information about programming switched access, see the data module
Installer Guide.
Provision lines
The Provision lines heading lets you provision and deprovision ISDN lines. It also
lets you disable PRI channels.
Provision a T1 line
1. Choose Resources, Media Bay Modules.
The window displays Buses 02 through 08.
2. Choose the bus (Bus 02 to 07) associated with the module you want to

2. On the Configuration menu click Modify Services.
The Services dialog box appears.
EnabledIndicates that the resource or service is currently operating. When the
component is enabled, the component can assume any of its operational
statuses.
DisabledThe component is disabled from operation. None of the component’s
operational statuses are valid in this state.
PausedThe component is enabled and is running b ut is currently not accepting
additional service requests.
UpThis value is read-only. It indicates that the component is enabled and is
operating normally. For a component like a network interface, this means
the interface is enabled and connected to a valid link. For a service like
DHCP, it means that the service is enabled and is currently running
normally
When the current status is Up, setting it to Enabled or Continue (where
available), is a no-operation. Setting it to Disabled disables the service, by
shutting it down and then disabling it. Where avai lable, setting it to Paused
pauses the service
DownThis value is read-only. This value indicates that the user has enabled the
component, and the component is unable to operate in an Up state because
of normal or abnormal, internal or external errors. For example, if a network
interface is in a Down state because of no connection to an actual physical
link, it is a normal, external error. If a service like DHCP service is in a
Down state because of internal errors, it is an abnormal, internal error.
When the current status is Down setting it to Enabled attempts to bring it to
'Up' state again. In an error still exists it may stay at a Down state. Setting it
to Disabled disables the service. Where available, setting it to a Paused or
continued state fail as the service is not yet running.
EnabledThis value is write-only. This value never appears when read. For a service
that is enabled, one of its operational statuses (that is, Up or Down) appears
when its Status field is read.
When this value is set, it indicates that the user wants to enable the
corresponding component and bring it to an Up state. It is probable that the
first happens. The second action depends on the component. For a network
interface, the Up state does not happen unless user connects a link to the
interface. For a service this may not happen only if the system encounters
an error of some kind during the requested action.
DisabledThis value can be either read or set. When read, this indicates that the
component is di sabled from operation. When set, it indicates the same, in
addition to taking the component to a Down state before disabling.
PausedThis value can be either read or set. When read, this indicates that the
service is enabled and is given the command to pause. When set, it indicates
the same, pausing the service further.
ContinueThis value can only be set. It can be set only when the service in a Paused

Government rules vary for support of Enhanced 911 (E911) dialing service by
Customer Premises Equipment. Legislation may require that the Customer
Premises Equipment give a more precise location of the source of a 911 call than
the billing address of the central office line. Consult your service provider about the
laws and regulations.
Use the following configuration rules when installing the Enterprise Edge system,
to assure compliance with local regulations:
•When equipped with PRI trunks, Enterprise Edge can deliver the Calling Line
ID of a telephone dialing 911 through the Public Switched Telephone Network,
if the proper programming has been implemented and PRI trunk service has
been installed by the service provider. If you are using ISDN PRI, implement
OLI programming and Business Name programming to add the Set ID to the
CLASS information.
•By default, Restriction Filter 02 is assigned to all sets on startup. There are no
restrictions applied in Restriction Filters 02-99. Restriction Filter 01 has
restrictions, but 911 is an Exception for this filter. For information on how to
change the Restrictions, refer to Restrictions on page 103.
•When using other trunk interfaces, you can assign separate line pools to groups
of telephones in different areas (for example, in different buildings, floors or
sections).
•Be careful when using the Set Relocation feature. You may have to reprogram
the line pool access to send the right location on 911 calls.
•Configure the 911 destination code to dial out over a Normal Schedule in all
applicable Service Modes, as this is the default route should any other
programmed routing attempts fail. When using PRI interfaces, make sure all
sets can use the PRI line pool that the Normal Schedule route uses.

Copying settings from one telephone set to another
The Copy command allows you to duplicate programming for a telephone and
apply it to another telephone, a range of telephones or all the telephones on the
system.
2. Click the telephone set (DN 221-528) with the settings you want to copy.
If necessary, choose a subheading to refine your selection.
3. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
4. Choose the data type you want to copy, System data or System+user data.
5. Click Single, Range or All from the Copy type list.
6. Type the DN number of the set or the range of sets (nnn-nnn) where you want
to copy the settings. You do not have to fill in this box if you chose All in the
Copy type list.
7. Click the OK button.
General
The General attributes allows you to assign the name, the DN type, a control set,
and the Call log password for a set.
Name
The default name for a telephone is its DN. You can change it to a more descriptive
name.
The DN type attribute allows you to choose the set type: ISDN set or portable set.
For Enterprise Edge desk sets, you can view but you cannot change the DN type.
Note: In North America, DNs 469 to 500 are Portable sets and DNs 501 to
528 are ISDN sets by default.
Control set
The Control set attribute allows you to define a DN that will act as a control set. By
default, DN 221 is the control set for all telephone sets (DNs). A control set can turn
Scheduled Services, such as Restriction Service on and off for the telephones
assigned to it. For more information about services, see Scheduled Services on page
138.
You can assign several control sets for your system but you can only assign one
control set per DN.
Tips
You must program external lines and telephones with a control set to use the
three kinds of Scheduled Services: Ringing, Restriction, and Routing Services.
The recommendation is to have one control set for all lines and a different
control set for all telephones (DNs).
You can turn on a service manually or automatically for all telephones
controlled by a given control set, but you cannot combine schedules. In other
words, a service can only be active as normal service or one of the six
schedules at any one time. You can have several schedules active, as long as
they are using different services.
Call log passwords setting allows you to clear an individual’s Call log password.
This is useful if someone forgets the password and you need to reset it. Select the
set DN and leave the box blank or enter a new password. The user can then enter a
new password from that DN.
4. Type a 4-digit password in the Call log passwords box, or leave it blank, and
press Enter.
Line access
Line access allows you to assign lines to individual telephones. To save time, you
can copy the Line access settings to other telephones once you have finished
programming the settings for one telephone.
Note: PRI lines must be set to Auto Answer; they cannot be Manual Answer.
Tips
When you assign line access for BRI loops make sure that the programming
for the two lines on a BRI loop is identical. For example, if line 001 on BRI
loop 201 appears at a DN, line 002 on the same loop should appear at the DN
as well.
In general, you do not assign, auto-answer loop start trunks and auto-answer
BRI trunks to telephones. If assigned, they are for monitoring incoming call
usage, or for making outgoing calls.
Prime lineYou can define the first line that a telephone selects when you make a call
from an Enterprise Edge telephone. PRI pools are not valid selections for a
Prime line.
Note: An assigned prime line is not associated with the assignment of a
prime telephone.
Values:None, Pool (A to O), I/C (intercom), or Line: (Default: None)
Intercom keys
OLI number
You can assign the number of intercom buttons to a telephone. Intercom
buttons provide a telephone with access to internal and external lines, and
line pools. Refer to
Values:0 to 8 (Default: 2)
You can define the digits used for originating line identification number
(OLI). Refer to
Values: up to 24 digits (Default: blank)
Intercom keys on page 94.
OLI number on page 95.
You must assign an external line to the telephone in Line assignment (see Line
assignment on page 95) before you can assign the line as the prime line to the
telephone. You must assign a line pool to the telephone in Line pool access (see
Line pool access on page 97) before you can assign a line pool as the prime line to
the telephone. A target line cannot be a prime line for a telephone because it is
incoming-only.
Note: Do not assign a T1 DID line as the prime line for a telephone. If assigned,
the system treats it as if there is no prime line. The set displays the message
Select a line when you lift the receiver.
When you assign a line pool as a prime line, the system searches automatically for
an idle line in the pool. For more information, see Line type on page 116.
3. Choose the Prime line for this DN (Line 001, Pool A, None, I/C). The default
is I/C.
Intercom keys
The Intercom keys attribute assigns the number of intercom keys. Intercom keys
provide a telephone with access to internal and external lines, and line pools.
When you assign each Intercom key during programming, it automatically appears
on the telephone. The intercom keys appear on the lower-right button, or one key
above if the Handsfree/Mute feature appears on the telephone.
•A telephone requires two intercom buttons to be able to establish a conference
call with two other Enterprise Edge telephones.
•You require only one intercom button if the button is used to make and receive
internal calls, and to access line pools. You require two intercom keys for a
telephone with several lines assigned to Ring only.
•The M7100 telephone can have up to eight intercom buttons although the
telephone has one programmable button.
4. Choose the number of Intercom keys you want to assign to this DN (0, 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8). The default is 2.
OLI number
The originating line identification number (OLI) setting allows you to specify the
number that displays on the telephone you are calling.
Enter the digits used for the originating line identification number (OLI).When you
make an outgoing call on a BRI line, the Call Display information that appears on
the telephone you are calling is usually based on the first Network DN associated
with the line.
If the line has more than one Network DN, you can program a DN to use a Network
DN other than the first one for the outgoing Call Display information. When you
program the alternate Network DN as the ten-digit outgoing line identification
(OLI) number, and you make a call using the line associated with the Network DN,
the OLI number appears on the telephone you are calling.
If an outgoing call is made using a line that is not associated with the Network DN
number used as the OLI number, the network ignores the number; the default Call
Display information (the first or only Network DN associated with the line)
appears.
5. Enter the OLI number in the box. The default is blank. OLI numbers for
North America are ten digits.
Line assignment
The Line assignment setting allows you to assign physical trunks and target lines to
each telephone. You can assign and remove target lines the same as other lines. You
can also assign multiple target lines across a group of sets in a Broadcast ring group.
3. Choose Line access. Click on the Line assignment heading.
4. Click the Add button above the navigation tree.
5. Type a line number in the Line box.
6. Click the Save button.
7. ClickontheLine nnn you just created.
Appearance type
Select how a call on this line shows at the set.
8. In the DN nnn-Line nnn window, choose the line Appearance type. Ring
only, Appear&Ring,orAppear only. The default is Unassigned.
Note: Enterprise Edge will not support a mixture of Appear only and Ring only
appearances for the same line. If you choose Appear&Ring or Appear
only, you can have as many simultaneous DID calls as there are target line
key appearances. If you choose Ring only, you can have as many
simultaneous DID calls as you have intercom keys.
Call log set
The Call log set attribute allows you to specify if the telephone automatically logs
Call Display information for calls on an external line. The line must appear on that
telephone, but it does not have to be a ringing line.
9. Click Y or N to enable call logging. The default is N.
Vmsg (Voice Message) set
If you subscribe to an external voice message service, you can access that service
through your Enterprise Edge system. The voice message setting controls if the
indicator shows on a telephone for voice message waiting on a particular line. The
line must appear on that telephone.
10. Click Y or N to enable voice m essage waiting indicator. The default is N.
To find out if your voice message service works with Enterprise Edge, or if you
have any problems with your service, contact your voice message service provider.
PRI Lines
Users cannot access PRI lines directly through line appearances or line pools.
To dial outgoing PRI calls use the intercom button and enter a routing code.
When an EE-DTM changes to PRI, the system automatically removes all existing
line appearances for that module.
The Enterprise Edge Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA 2), BRI S-terminals, or a
portable cannot process more than 2 simultaneous calls.
There is a suggested limit of 4 keys per set. You can program more than 4 keys on
a set by programming less than 4 on other sets. For instance, you might program 20
keys on a receptionist set equipped with a CAP.
Tips
In general, you do not assign auto-answer loop start trunks, auto-answer T1
E&M trunks and T1 DID trunks to telephones. If assigned, they are used for
monitoring incoming call usage, or for making outgoing calls (auto-answer
loop start and T1 E&M trunks).
You cannot assign a line that is private to another telephone.
Each line assigned to appear at a telephone must appear at a button with an
indicator on that telephone. The maximum number of line buttons is 8 f or the
M7208 telephone, 10 for the M7310 telephone, and 24 for the M7324
telephone.
If you set a line to Ring only, incoming calls appear on an intercom button.
A central answering position (CAP), with one or two CAP modules, can
provide extra line buttons if more than 24 lines are assigned to the CAP. The
remaining lines appear at buttons on the CAP module.
The M7100 telephone is an exception; i t has no line buttons and can be
assigned any number of lines. Make sure that lines assigned to an M7100
telephone are assigned to ring; otherwise, you cannot detect incoming calls on
the lines.
Line pool access
The Line pool access setting allows a telephone to access one or more of the fifteen
line pools available (A to O). Six exclusive line pools (PRI-A to PRI-F) are
available for PRI lines. Only three are currently supported.
Only PRI or BRI-QSIG lines can belong to a PRI pool. PRI lines cannot belong to
Line Pools A through O, and all lines on a single EE-DTM (PRI) belong to the same
pool. Lines from multiple EE-DTM (PRI) can belong to the same pool if they are
configured with the same protocol. You can assign PRI lines to pools with the Linetype setting.
6. Click the Save button.
The set can now access any line in that line pool.
Answer DNs
You can program a telephone to provide call alerting and call answering for other
telephones. The DNs of the other telephones are referred to as Answer DNs.
Every Answer DN you assign to the telephone automatically designates an Answer
buttonwith an indicator to the telephone. Label the buttons to identify the telephone
with its name or DN. More than one telephone can have an Answer button for the
same DN.
You can assign a maximum number of eight Answer DNs to a set.
To create an answer DN on a telephone:
