How to Change a Netcon Channel
Netcon channels can be changed by entering the command change data module 4444 and
pressing [RETURN]. Extension number 4444 is the extension number assigned to the data or Net-
con channel.
Once the form is displayed on the screen, the user can make changes. Once all changes have
been made, press [ENTER] to submit the changes into system translations.
How to List Netcon Channels
The list data-module command can be used to display a list of all Netcon channels that have
been assigned in the system. The display gives a list of all data modules and Netcon channels
and their associated data, which includes:
l Extension
l Port number
l Type of module (Netcon channels are listed along with the other types of modules)
l Name (if assigned)
l Class of Service (COS)
l Class of Restriction (COR)
l Information Systems Network (ISN) (this field shows if the data module is connected to
the ISN)
The display data-module xxxx (extension number) [print] command can be used to obtain a
printout for one Netcon channel.
How to Administer Dial Plan and Feature Access Codes
The Dial Plan Record and the FACs can be administered together to insure continuity for the
number of digits assigned to FAC. The number of digits used to dial the FAC must agree with the
number of digits assigned to the 
FAC field on the Dial Plan Record. The system does not allow a
mismatch between these numbers. For example, if the Dial Plan Record has two digits assigned
for FAC, then each FAC must be assigned two digits. The user dials these digits to activate and
deactivate a feature.
The Dial Plan Record must be administered before assigning FACs, trunk access codes, and
voice terminal extensions.The Dial Plan Record can be administered as a stand-alone screen
form as long as the changes being made do not affect the FACs, Trunk Access Codes (TACs),
and voice terminal extension numbers. Once the TACs and voice terminal extension numbers
have been assigned, the user cannot change the Dial Plan Record.
Once the Dial Plan Record and FACs have been administered, the System Manager can change
the digits assigned to FACs as long as they agree with the Dial Plan Record. For example, the
System Manager can change a FAC from 12 to 13 as long as no other FAC is assigned to 13.

CHAPTER 5. ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS—VOICE TERMINAL
How to Administer Voice Terminals
Voice terminal administration is an integrated set of procedures that allow the user to add,
change, remove, duplicate, display, and list the translation data associated with voice terminals.
The voice terminal must be installed, connected, and initialized in system translations before the
user can make a call. Other screen forms may be filled out to assign a voice terminal in a feature
operation, such as call pickup, call coverage, etc.
The following are the classes of operations in voice terminal administration:
l Adding a voice terminal refers to entering the translation data needed to originate and/or
terminate calls at a terminal and to provide button access to features and functions.
l Changing a voice terminal refers to updating the translation data associated with an
existing terminal.
l Removing a voice terminal refers to deleting all the translation data of an existing termi-
nal from the system.
l Displaying a voice terminal refers to displaying the screen form for a voice terminal.
l Duplicating a voice terminal refers to adding a voice terminal which has the same confi-
guration as an existing voice terminal.
l Listing allows the user to obtain a list of all, or a selected range of, voice terminals in the
system. The user can also obtain a list of all groups in which the voice terminal is a
member.
l List extension type allows the user to identify a specific extension, or examine a range
of extensions. This command is also used to identify what types of groups the extension
belongs to and to list extension numbers and their types in a given range to help locate
and examine voice terminals.
l Enhanced Terminal Administration allows for the administration of new voice terminals
that are not supported by the system software. For any new voice terminal type, the
Enhanced Terminal Administration feature allows new terminals to be “mapped” to an
existing or supported type. The mapping is accomplished by using the Alias Station
screen form. The alias name of the station can then be used when administering sta-
tions of that type.
Each voice terminal has its own screen form. The form contains fields for every data entry appli-
cable to the terminal. Validity checks assure accurate data entry and consistency between fields.
Error messages are displayed whenever invalid data is detected. If an error message appears,
the HELP function provides a list of permissible entries for any field.
5-1 
						

							CHAPTER 5. ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS-VOICE TERMINAL
Before a voice terminal can be removed from the system, it must be removed from the following:
l Code Calling List
l Leave Word Calling (LWC) System Retrievers List
l Hunt Groups Assigned to the Call Management System (CMS)
Translation data change may also be prevented when any affected feature is currently active; for
example, a voice terminal cannot be removed while the message waiting indicator is on. The
voice terminal must be idle before any features can be added or changed. Certain feature but-
tons must be unlocked (not in use) before they can be changed. The port number, message wait-
ing indicator, and each button are locked. A voice terminal cannot be removed if one of the
locked items is active.
If voice terminal feature buttons are changed on the screen form, the labels for those feature but-
tons that appear on the voice terminal must also be changed to agree with the associated screen
form.
Note: Removing a voice terminal from a hunt group that has CMS will automatically
remove the voice terminal from the hunt group and CMS.
The information in the following paragraph must be used when adding, changing, or removing
voice terminals. A voice terminal cannot be assigned to a port number that is already assigned.
Note: If the circuit pack is not installed in the carrier, the System Manager can assign a cir-
cuit pack to the system by entering the command change circuit-pack and inputting
the circuit pack code beside the available slot number. Once the circuit pack code
has been assigned, the System Manager can then enter the appropriate port number
on the screen form for the voice terminal.

Voice Terminal Commands
The following information explains how voice terminal commands are used to administer voice
terminals.
Add a Voice Terminal
Two processes are used to add a voice terminal: 1) physically installing the voice terminal and
2) adding voice terminal translations to memory. Adding translations to memory tells the system
the characteristics you want associated with the voice terminal and allows processing calls to and
from the voice terminal.
Note: Digital-type voice terminals should be assigned in the system before analog-type ter-
minals.
l To add a voice terminal to the system, enter add station 3222. In this example, add
is the action command, station is the object, and 3222 is the qualifier (value). By adding
a qualifier (3222), the system automatically assigns 3222 as an extension number in the
Extension # field on the form. Once the Voice Terminal form appears on the screen,
you can enter the desired data for that voice terminal.
When entering the command to add a voice terminal, the system checks to see if the extension
number is already assigned and if it is a valid extension number. If the extension number is
already assigned, the system responds with Extension Already Exists. If it is not a valid
extension number, the system responds with Invalid Extension. If one of the preceding hap-
pens, you must type in a valid extension number that is not assigned to any other voice terminal,
hunt group, terminating extension group, data module, or attendant call park extension. You can
also enter the command add station next which instructs the system to automatically assign the
next available extension number.
