This guide provides specific field entries that need to be made in the process of
installing and configuring Conference Room Scheduler. In addition to this guide,
use the following manuals for this in stallation:
instructions for installing the software from the release media.
•Applications Manager (APM) Operations Manual – Explains how
applications like Conference Room Scheduler are configured in the APM
environment, using the entries and values provided in this guide.
•NEAX2400 System Manuals – Give very detailed explanations about the
assignments that need to be made through the Maintenance Administration
Terminal (MAT) commands on the NEAX2400.
Briefly, the installation and set up of Conference Room Scheduler involves the
following processes:
Software Installation
Conference Room Schedule r soft ware must firs t be load ed from the rel ease me dia.
Log in to the APM Platform Management Menu, select the Installation of
Applications/Packages option, and follow the instructions provided in the APM Installation Manual to complete this pa rt of the installation.
Application Configuration
Conference Room Scheduler is internally supported by the APM and must be
configured in the APM environment. Chapter 2 of this guide provides the
information that must be entered into this APM configuration file. Conference
Room Scheduler is comprised of two components, both of which must be
configured. Use the instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual to
make the entries provided in this section.
Database Requirements
Conference Room Scheduler requires two application databases which are
constructed and mainta ined through the APM Databa se Administration op tion. For
each application database, the process begins with the creation of a master
definition file and its related master database. Then, for each, an application
definition file is constructed which enables the processing of the master files into
an application database. Chapter 3 of this guide defines the information which
must be included in these definition and database files. Use the instructions
provided in the APM Operations Manual to make the entries contained in this
section.

Note:
The same MSF identification number (i.e., fro m 128 to 192) that is selected in the
APM during Step 3 must be assigned to Confer ence Room Sch eduler at the NEAX
MAT. For more information, see Chapter 4 .
Step 4 – Secondary O AI Configuration Parameters (Conf_Room_Sch only)
Using the OAI-Conf command on the APM Configur ation Entry s creen, make the

This completes the conf iguration of Conference Room Scheduler in the APM. Now
go to Chapter 3 to create its database support.
Conference Room Scheduler requires three databases (i.e., Conference Room,
Employee Identification, and Reservation). Two of these databases need to be
constructed and thereafter maintain ed through the APM; the third database ( i.e.,
Reservation) is built by Conference Room Scheduler itself while it is running.
Databases are created through the Database Administration option on the APM
System Administration Menu. Database creation involves the following 4-step
process for
each of the two required databases:

Conference Room Scheduler requires MAT assignment of the Mode Set Facility

affected by appl icat ion. This
process involves assign ing the MSF and its Operation Code (Op-Code ), configured
for Conference Room Schedul er in the APM Applic at ion Confi gurat ion opti on, to
one of the 14 OAI Key Codes. (The MSF Op-Codes range from 128 to 191;
available for on-screen viewing through the Providers command in the APM
Application Configura tion op tion.) Each of the OAI Ke y Codes co rr esponds to an
AKY1 Function Key Index (F KI) value which is the n assigned to the sp ecific D

AOKC COMMAND: (Assignment of OAI Key Codes)
This command is used to associate the MSF facility and its Op-Code that w as
configured in the APM for Con feren ce Roo m Schedul er to on e of th e 14 OAI Key
Codes in the MAT.
1. Select an unused OAI Key Code, from 1 to 14. To determine what Key Codes
are available for assignment, use the LOKC command to list the AOKC Key
Codes that are already assigned.
2. Enter MSF as the faci lity to be as signed to the selected K ey Code, using the v alues on the screen.
3. Enter the same Op-Co de that was configured for Conference Room Scheduler
in the APM. If necessary, retrieve it using the Provider command on the APM
Configuration Entry screen.
AKYD COMMAND: (Assignment of D
This command is used to assig n key data on the D
Conference Room Scheduler. MAT Function Key Indexes #34 to #47 have been

The example above indicates that MSF #129 is configured for Confere nce Room Scheduler and is as signed through th e AOKC command to OAI Key Code 10. OAI
Key Code 10 corresponds in t he PBX to MAT Function Key I ndex 43. Each D

in the system that is to access Conference Room Scheduler has function key 3
assigned to MAT Function Key Inde x 43 via the AKYI command. Now whe never
a phone user presses function key 3 on any assigned D

communication with Conference Room Scheduler.
Conference Room Scheduler is now instal led and ready to be in itiali zed. Enter the
