What is Student Services?

Overview

Application & Functions

Student Services is an appl ication software pack age for the NEC Open Application Interface (OAI) environment. It operates on an NEC User Application Processor (UAP) system, in conjunction with an NEC PBX.
The Student Services application is designed to meet th e needs of a student housing facility. It provides a telephone system Administ rator’s interface for feature and operational scheduling of designated telephone stations and station groups.
The application updates st ation parameters directly to the premises NEC PBX. The PBX applies these parameters to the designated stations, providing telephone service restrictions or service changes based on a defined schedule.
Often in a student housing environment, telephone service must be limited and operational capabilities changed on a scheduled basis. Daily, weekly, and special term scheduling may be required depending on the facility. Additionally, the telephone privileges and scheduling may be different for select groups of users.
Student Services provi des a database f or station tele phone funct ions. The database allows existing stations to be scheduled for special operation according to the defined parameters for the schedule. Stations can also be grouped in a group database where parameters can be defined and scheduled over the whole group.

Databases

Page 2 NDA-30095 Revision 1
The Student Services software application is comprised of multiple databases. Three primary databases contain all the information specific to the Stations, Groups, and the Scheduled Events functions of the program.

What is Student Services? (Cont)
The software uses two copies of these databases; the Working database and the Installed database. The working database allows changes to be made to Student
Services Stations, Groups, or Scheduled Events without affecting the realtime operation of th e PBX system. The i nstalled dat abase is th e data base actually be ing used realti me by the PBX for Student Services data.
When changes are mad e t o any of the three pr ima ry databases, they are first made to the working database copy. It is this working copy that is being changed from any of the menus and functions of the Student Services software. The Install Databases function of the Student Services applic ation (or when exiting the program) will install the current wor king database as the new installed data base.
This process ensures the PBX operates on complete data and only receives any changes all at once. This also allows major changes to the working database to be discarded if an error is made, before installing to the PBX.

Saving & Installing Database

Changes made to the Stations Database using the Add, Delete or Modify commands are first changed to UAP memory. It is recommended, when a series of changes are made that the changes are saved.
The Save c ommand saves any current changes i n UAP memory to the UAP hard disk. This prevents an error made in a later change operation from affecting any previous changes.
For example: When adding stations, add all the needed stations. Before proceeding to any other operation (such as deleting or modifying a station); save these add changes. Then, if an error is encountered in a later modify operation, a c ancel or cle ar to start over will not af fect the c hang es made in th e previous Add operation.
The databases will not become recogni zed by the system, unt il the databases ha ve been installed in the system. Unlike the save command following each database change, the Install Databases command only needs to be performed when all changes to any (and all) of the Studen t Services dat abase are completed.

Save Database

Follow the steps below to save the database.
Step 1:
From the Stations database screen (Figure 3-2), press Tab to select the Save command, and press Enter. The following window will be dis-

Install Database

The Install Database fu nction installs the Studen t Services Working Databa se to the PBX. The working database then becomes the installed database that the PBX will operate from. Until the working database is installed, the PBX will not be able to implement any changes made to station parameters in Student Services.
Note:
This step only needs to be performed if no other changes to any of the databases will be made at this time. Otherwise complete any other changes and then per­form a Install Databases procedure.
Follow the step below to i nstall the data base.
Step 1:
From the Student Services Main Menu, select the Install Databases function, and press Enter. The following message appears in the scr een message bar:
The Working Database has been installed
- If no changes have been made to the working database
, the following
window will be displayed:
