Telephony Advanced dialog box
Use the Telephony Advanced dialog box to adjust additional telephony 
parameters. 
The Telephony Advanced dialog box contains the following parameters: Maximum Digits to 
Be CollectedAllows you to set the maximum number of digits that the IP trunk 
application will accept from the switch for an outgoing call.
If this value is less than the number of digits actually forwarded by 
the PBX, the calls will not go through.
!CAUTION:
Set this field no higher than the maximum length of the digit 
string the switch sends. Otherwise, the IP trunk application 
waits several seconds for additional digits and users experience 
delays.
Valid values: 
0 to 30
Advanced Displays the Telephony Advanced dialog box, where you can set 
additional telephony parameters. 
Parameters Description
Ring Count

Use the Internet dialog box to configure your connection to an IP network. Adjust 
these parameters as needed for optimal performance. 
nDTMF Duration: Sets the DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-frequency) 
duration for communication with an H.323 client.
Valid values: 
150 to 15000 (milliseconds)
nDTMF Silence Duration: Sets the silence duration interval 
between two consecutive DTMF tones for communication with an 
H.323 client. 
Valid values: 
30 to 15000 (milliseconds)
Fax
nMaximum Fax Rate: Indicates the fax transmission rate. 
Valid values: 
9.6 Kpbs or 14.4 Kpbs.
nFax Error Control: Sets the level of redundant information used 
to improve the fax completion rate.
Valid values: 
None (no redundant information use)
Moderate: Each packet transmitted also contains the previous 
packet sent.
Extensive: Each packet transmitted also contains the previous two 
packets sent.
For good quality, managed networks with very little packet loss, 
use None. For a managed network with high packet loss, use 
Extensive to improve the fax completion rate. Extensive results in 
higher bandwidth usage and longer fax sending time.
nFax Frames Per Packet: Sets the number of fax frames per 
packet. 
Valid values: 
1 or 2.

The Internet dialog box contains the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Lucent Gateway 
ProtocolnSignaling Port: Displays the initial port number (5000) used for 
call setup. Display only.
nSetup Time-out (ms): Allows you to set the number of 
milliseconds to wait before canceling a call attempt while trying 
to set up the Internet connection.
If the call setup exceeds this threshold, the calling party will hear 
a fast busy signal. The call setup time probes network traffic 
conditions at the given instant. Exceeding the set threshold 
indicates that the network is congested and that good voice 
quality may not be possible on the Internet. Setting this 
parameter to a large value effectively lets all calls go through 
regardless of Internet traffic conditions. Setting this parameter 
too low unnecessarily restricts otherwise good calls. Generally, 
you should accept the default value of 8000. 
Valid values: 
50 to 30000.
nKeep Alive (sec): Allows you to set the number of seconds to 
wait before clearing a call if the remote switch does not respond.
Valid values: 
3 to 180. It is recommend that you use the default 
value (30 seconds).
H.323 Protocol
nSignaling Port: Displays the initial port number (1720) used for 
H.323 call setup. Display-only. 
nSetup Time-out (ms): Specifies the number of milliseconds to 
wait before canceling a call attempt while trying to set up the 
H.323 connection. Display-only. 
nKeep Alive (sec): Allows you to set the number of seconds to 
wait before clearing an H.323 call if no voice traffic is detected. 
Valid values: 
10 to 86400.
Enable GateKeeper Uses the gatekeeper subsystem of the DEFINITY ECS application to 
assist in H.323 dialing, rather than dialing directly. Display -only. 
Port Displays the initial port number (1719) that gatekeeper uses for 
H.323 call setup. Display-only.
Setup Time-out 
(ms)Specifies the number of milliseconds to wait before canceling a call 
attempt while trying to set up the H.323 connection using gatekeeper. 
Display-only. 
IP Address Specifies the IP address of gatekeeper. Display-only.

Routing Info - 
Terminating Dial 
PlannEntry Type: Sets whether or not incoming calls are accepted. 
The default value is Accept. If you set this to Reject, then 
incoming calls are not accepted.
nSearch Digits: See the Dial/Routing Plan Worksheets.
nReplace Digits: See the Dial/Routing Plan Worksheets
nLine Number: In non-DCS configurations, enter Any. 
For DCS networks, specify the trunk group number for calls that 
terminate at this switch. The trunk group number must match the 
trunk group number at the originating switch. .
Routing Info - 
Access ControlIn Use For:
nGateways: Use the access control entry being created when 
gateways (such as other DEFINITY ECS servers) attempt to 
make calls to this IP trunk server.
nClient: Use the access control entry being created when clients 
(such as NetMeeting™ PCs) attempt to make calls to this switch.
nGateway/Client: Specifies that the entry being created will be 
used for both switches and clients when they attempt to make 
calls to this switch.
nIP Address: Specifies the IP address of the remote system (or 
subnet) that is being given access to this switch.
nAddress Bits to Match: Specifies the number of bits (starting 
with the left-most or high-order bit) that are used to control 
access to this DEFINITY ECS application. A value of 32 limits 
access to the individual IP address entered. A value of 24 limits 
access to the 255 IP addresses in a class C IP address (in other 
words, a subnet). The range of values is 0 - 32. The default value 
is 32. When the Access Control list is empty, any IP address can 
send calls (access) to the local DEFINITY ECS application. 
Once a single entry exists in the list, 
only IP addresses explicitly 
specified in the list can access the local application.
Add Allows you to add the names of DEFINITY ECS applications 
connected to your network. Allows you to add originating and 
terminating dial/routing plan information and access control 
information.

originating and terminating dial/routing plan information and access 
control information.
Parameter Description
Log File Directory Specifies the location of the DEFINITY ECS service log files.
No New File Will 
Be Created When 
Free Disk Space 
ReachesAllows you to specify the minimum free disk space on drive D, 
which, when reached, will stop creation of service log files.
Valid values: 
10 to 1500 megabytes.
Call Records Specify the on or off status of the call detail record logging.
If you administer the CDR on the IP trunk server and you later want 
to turn it off, you have to edit a .ini file. Consider using the more 
flexible, standard DEFINITY ECS CDR instead.
When this option is on, the DEFINITY ECS application logs call 
detail records into files. You can use a separate utility to produce 
statistical and call accounting reports from the logged data. See 
your Lucent representative for more information.

QoS dialog box
Use the Quality of Service (QoS) dialog box to configure the quality of service 
options for the DEFINITY ECS connections to remote sites. Error Messages Shows you that the logging of error or warning messages into the 
Windows NT Event Viewer is on. Display-only.
When this option is on, you can use the Windows NT Event Viewer 
to view the reported errors and warnings. (In this release, the Log 
Properties option is not available for this log.)
Performance 
StatisticsAllows you to turn logging of QoS (quality of service) statistics on 
or off. The statistics are logged into the Windows NT Performance 
Monitor. (In this release, the Log Properties option is not available 
for this log.)
Log Properties Allows you to set the maximum log file size. 
Valid values: 
1 to 100 (MB).
When a log file reaches this setting, the DEFINITY ECS 
application will create a new log file. In addition, for the CDR log 
only, this properties window allows additional CDR file 
management. If this feature is checked, then a copy of the CDR file 
is maintained. This allows a remote client to retrieve the CDR 
records from the DEFINITY ECS application periodically, without 
affecting the operation of the application. This feature makes two 
additional parameters available:
nWrite file every  minutes: Specifies how often the copy 
file is refreshed. If the file doesn’t exist, then it is created. 
Valid values: 
1 to 60. 
nLocation: Specifies the directory where the copy (alternate) 
CDR file is stored.
