A Note Concerning Country Descriptions

When the system default is USA, zero (0) in the system type, then zero (0) in the

country code defines a system operating under the USA standard; one (1) in the

country code defines a system for any countries not listed below and is utilized as

required; two (2) indicates Mexico; three (3) indicates Brazil.

When the system default is European, two (2) in the system type, then the following

codes are used for systems defined for specific countries or equivalent:

Eu

Default System defines the default databases according to the Common Control

card.

Typical Site-Specific Programming and Additional Programming describe PI

programming for all the different PI branches.

Programming and Entering Time Units defines the PI time unit notation.

Programming Functions describes the different PI functions available at the

branches or options.

Locating Data Fields and Direct Access Abbreviations will help you locate the

desired parameter, data field or branch needed to program the PI.

Entering Yes/No Range and General Rules for Entering Names describe the

general rules for entering names and Yes or No in the parameter range.

Authorization Items list the specific features that need software authorization

before they can be implemented. There are no items needing authorization in a

Coral with DX Common Control.

A. Default System

The configuration of the Common Control cards determines the default database

that is installed upon First Initialization, as shown below.

•

•

•

•



Coral Common Control with SVC Service card default to a Coral system with

SVC, with authorized features defined by the SAU unit.

Coral Common Control with 4GC Service card default to a Coral system with

4GC, with authorized features defined by the SAU unit.

DX Common Control with 4GC Service card default to the maximum size range

and all features are available.

Coral SL default to a Coral SL system similar to an SVC system.



Should a particular parameter impact upon a different option, the relation between

the two is explained in the relevant description.

B. Typical Site-Specific Programming

Depending on the site, the default database may require some programming. When

it is necessary to modify the default database, this information should be entered in

the Programming Forms. The programming parameters most often changed are

found in the following branches:

Sizes (Chapter 4)

Sets the maximum number of various system services, such as libraries, ports,

trunks, etc.

Numbering Plan (Chapter 5)

Modifies the numbering plan for the specific site.

System (Chapter 6)

Modifies system timers, system features, system tones and identifies the hardware

assigned to specific physical locations.

Class of Service (Chapter 7)

Defines access to system features and functions.

Trunks (Chapter 8)

Defines trunks and trunk groups; individual menus are provided for Central Office

(loop/ground start), E&M, DID, and power fail trunks.

Stations (Chapter 9)

Defines SLTs, EKTs, VDKs, DKTs and DSTs, as well as requirements for Wireless

Telephones (WSTs); Power Fail stations are identified in the database using the

Power Fail Trunk form in Chapter 8 (Trunks).

Chapter 2: Programming Requirements



C. Additional Programming

Depending upon site requirements, the following major options may need additional

programming.

Groups (Chapter 10)

Defines Hunt Groups, Boss Groups, Pickup Groups, Zoned Voice Page Groups,

Bell/UNA (Night Answer Groups) and Group Calls. DID/E&M Groups and Trunk

Groups are defined in Chapter 8.

Libraries (Chapter 11)

Defines public (system-wide) and private (station-related) speed call libraries.

Night Service (Chapter 12)

Defines night service timers as well as incomplete and intercept call destinations.

Toll Barrier (Chapter 13)

Sets toll restrictions (barriers) on outgoing calls.

Station Message Detail Recording (Chapter 14)

Controls the system’s detailed call reporting to external SMDR systems.

Routing (Chapter 15)

Defines Routing and Cost Calculation parameters.

Room Status (Chapter 16)

Controls the system’s room status feature.

Service Terminals (Chapter 17)

Defines the various system parameters for service terminals. Significant

improvements in the display and new options are implemented in V8.5x and higher.

Features (Chapter 18)

Defines port features which can be activated from either the PI terminal or the

Attendant Console.

Voice Transmission Controls (Chapter 19)

Controls voice transmission across ports and cards. Also included in this chapter is

the Network Balancing System.

Wakeup (Chapter 20)

Defines the Wakeup controls and Wakeup report production.

Special System Options (Chapter 21)

Defines those features that control the database, duplication system.

Diagnostics (Chapter 22)

Defines those options that perform the various diagnostic tests and check the system

alarms.

Special Port Facilities (Chapter 23)

Defines those special options that are available for tenant members, plus defining

DVMS ports.

Verified Forced Account Code (VFAC) (Chapter 24)

Describes the various options that are available for VFAC.

Time/Date Set and Adjust (Chapter 25)

Describes the way in which the system time and date are set and adjusted.

Integrated Services Digital Network (Chapter 26)

Describes the various ISDN system options.

CoraLINK (Chapter 27)

Describes the CoraLINK database options.

ISDNet (Chapter 28)

Defines and allocates the Nodes and Node Contents in a Private Coral Network and

also includes a few special General Numbering Plan functions as regards the

Network Nodes.



D. Programming and Entering Time Units

The following table presents the 12 hour to 24 hour conversions for programming

and entering time units in the PI. Exceptions to the required 24 hour format are

1) Minutes are entered as two

digits (00 through 59)



23



All time entries are hh:mm,

where hh=hour (00-23) and

mm=minutes (00-59).



2) For single-digit hours,

1 through 9 am inclusive, a

leading 0 can be added as

required by the programmer;

for example: 8 am can be

defined either as 8:00 or 08:00.

3) A colon (:) must be entered

between the hour and minutes.

E. Programming Functions

The following table presents the eight programming functions that can be applied to

the Program Interface. Only functions relevant to a specific branch are available in

that branch or option.

0



Allows changing or modifying the parameter values or characteristics.



1



DISPLAY



Displays all parameters for any specific port or range of consecutively

numbered ports.



2



ADD



Instructs the system to make an addition to the existing parameter or

option for a specific port.



3



REMOVE



Deletes an existing parameter.



4



SNAP



Similar to DISPLAY, but in real-time. Used for on-line monitoring from a

single monitor only.



5



SHOW



Generally used for showing Diagnostics and Numbering Plan tables.



6



DUPLICATE



Copies a defined feature or parameter from one port or station to

another port or station. Useful for rapidly defining new stations or

updating existing stations.

UPDATE



ERASE



Deletes the database from memory while in a specific node.



Locating Data Fields



Data fields can be located through a short cut. When the question

Any specific data field (type ? for help)

appears, several actions can be taken.

1) All Fields: Press to display or update all fields.

2) Single Field: Enter single field name or field number to display or update a single

field.



3) Multiple Fields: Enter up to seven field names and or field numbers to display or

update multiple fields. Each field must be separated by either a space or comma, for

example: 2,5,9, 11 15 24 26, or 0 5 or MAX_RING,EXT.ID are all valid entries.
