Destination
Used to route the AC to a desired endpoint. Enter the address of the destination 
access or data endpoint. This endpoint is the terminating party of the AC and need 
not be local to the switch on which the AC is assigned. The entry must be 
consistent with the local switch’s dial plan (that is, the first digits are assigned as 
an extension, feature access code, or trunk access code, or DDD Number). If a 
local extension is entered, it must be assigned to either an access or data endpoint. 
Abbreviated Dialing entries may be used in this field.
Name
Authorized Time of Day
Continuous
The connection will be up all the time or re-established if the connection goes 
down.
Valid entries Usage

~sStart suppressing display of the digits being outpulsed
~WWait indefinitely for dial tone. Only use this if network 
response time is more than 30 seconds
Valid entries Usage
Up to 27 alphanumeric characters.  Enter a short identification of the AC.
Valid entries Usage
 y Indicates that the AC is continuous (that is, not scheduled to be 
active at a certain time). If 
y is entered, the seven Start Days 
and associated Duration fields do not appear.

Start Days (Sun through Sat)
These fields indicate only the days on which an attempt will be made to establish 
the AC and not necessarily the days it is active. A scheduled AC may be active 
over a number of days, and, in this situation, these fields should be used only to 
specify the days on which the AC starts and not other days on which the AC may 
be active. Only appears if the Continuous field is 
n.
Start Time
Only appears if the Continuous field is 
n.
Duration
Enter the period of time that the scheduled AC should remain active. This period 
is specified in two fields separated by a colon. The maximum duration is 167 
hours and 59 minutes (that is, 1 minute less than 1 week). Only appears if the 
Continuous field is 
n.
Valid entries Usage
 yEnter y in each of the required days of the week fields to 
indicate that an attempt will be made to establish the AC.
n Displays the day fields.
Valid entries Usage
00:00
 through 23:59  Enter the time of the day when an attempt should 
begin to establish a scheduled AC. The time is 
specified in two fields separated by a colon.
Valid entries Usage
000
 through 167  For the hour field.
00 through 59For the minute field.

Miscellaneous Parameters
Alarm Type
Enter the type of alarm to be generated if the AC cannot be initially established, or 
fails and cannot be reestablished, and the number of consecutive failures equals 
the alarm threshold. All AC alarms and the errors that caused the alarms are 
recorded in the system’s alarm and error log. In addition, a status lamp associated 
with an attendant console or phone feature button (ac-alarm) may be used to 
indicate the AC alarm.
Alarm Threshold
Only appears if an entry in the Alarm Type field is other than 
none. Enter the 
number of times an attempt to establish or reestablish an AC must fail 
consecutively before an AC alarm generates. (an alarm will be generated after the 
fourth retry has failed, thus, with the retry interval of 2 minutes, an alarm will be 
generated approximately 8 minutes after the first failure occurs).
Retry Interval
Valid entries Usage
major
Failures that cause critical degradation of service and require 
immediate attention.
minorFailures that cause some degradation of service, but do not 
render a crucial portion of the system inoperable. This 
condition requires action, but its consequences are not 
immediate. Problems might be impairing service to a few 
trunks or stations or interfering with one feature across the 
entire system.
warning  Failures that cause no significant degradation of service or 
failures in equipment external to the system. Warning alarms 
are not reported to the attendant console or INADS.
noneThe alarm notification may be disabled for this AC.
Valid entries Usage
1
 through 10An alarm generates on the first failure if this field is 1.
Valid entries Usage
1
 through 60Enter the number of minutes between attempts to establish or 
reestablish the AC

Auto Restoration
Priority
Enter a number that is to be used to determine the order in which ACs are to be 
established.
Alias Station
This screen allows you to configure the system so that you can administer new 
phone types that are not supported by your system software. This screen maps 
new telephone models to a supported telephone model. This mapping does not 
guarantee compatibility, but allows nonsupported models to be administered and 
tracked by their own names.
Some administrators also use this screen to “name” non-telephone device. For 
example, you know that you can add a modem to your system by simply 
administering the extension as the standard analog type 2500. But, if you listed 
your stations, how would you know which extensions are modems? Instead, you 
could use the Alias screen to create a ‘modem’ alias to type 2500 and enter 
modem in the Type field for every modem you add to your system. For more 
information, refer to ‘‘
Adding a fax or modem’’ on page 63.
Tip:
When you upgrade a system that uses an alias set type to a new release, the 
system determines if the aliased type is supported in the new release (is now 
a native set type). When you review the Alias Station screen, you may see 
alias types that have become native. If the type is now native, the last 
character of the aliased set type becomes a #.”
Valid entries Usage
 yEnter y to indicate an attempt is to be made to reestablish an 
AC that failed. Auto Restoration is available only for an AC 
that is established over an ISDN Software Defined Data 
Network (SDDN) trunk group. A 
y in this field is ignored in all 
other situations.
Valid entries Usage

Alias Set Type
Enter up to a 5-character name for the nonsupported phone type that you want 
alias to a similar supported telephone type.
Supported Set Type
Enter a supported phone type that you want to map (or alias) to the alias set type. 
Valid supported phone types are listed in Table 12 on page 919
.
NOTE:
Data Communication Protocol (DCP) telephone types must be aliased to 
DCP telephone types, hybrid types to hybrid types, and analog to analog 
types.
Alphanumeric Dialing Table
This screen associates alpha-names to dialed digit strings. This allows telephone 
users to place a data call by simply typing the alpha-name. Users need only 
remember far-end alpha-names instead of the actual digit strings.
The screen consists of paired Alpha-name/Mapped String fields. Entries may be 
made in any order on the screen. However, before the screen is displayed for 
changing or reviewing, the entries in the table are sorted alphanumerically by the 
alpha-name. All entries will be moved to the beginning of the table, leaving all 
blank entries at the end.
