An Introduction To Nortel Meridian Option81c


The Meridian 1 Option 81C with Call Processor PII (CP PII) provides the capacity and
speed to meet the current and future communications demands of large and growing
organizations. The CP PII offers a scalable, redundant architecture to ensure
uninterrupted voice and messaging services. The CP PII open architecture provides
seamless upgrades to increased capacity and to future generations of Intel Pentium
processors.

Dual Core architecture


Each CP PII includes two identical Core circuit card packs; while one Core processes
calls, the other Core monitors the health of the system and waits to take control if the first
Core fails.

Uninterrupted call processing


Redundancy ensures that call processing will continue if a Core/Net module or circuit
card fails. Each Core regularly checks the status of the other Core. Data and memory
from the active Core is continually backed up onto the standby Core. If a failure occurs,
the standby Core immediately takes over the system. Since the data and memory from the
original Core is used to process calls, there is no noticeable difference to end users.

Redundant links
This redundant system is made possible through the Core to Core Ethernet connection
(LAN 2 to LAN 2).

Power Supply To Option81c

The main power components of Option81c include a Power Control unit in the pedestal,
and the module power supplies.
• The power distribution unit located in the pedestal functions as a distribution unit
for the input voltage to each of the modules and protects them from current
overload.

Hardware Installation

Pedestals
Each column sits on a pedestal that contains power, cooling and monitoring equipment,
as follows:
• A Power Distribution Unit in the back of the pedestal supplies DC power to the column.
• A System Monitor checks the column’s cooling and power systems.
• A blower unit (accessible from the front of the pedestal) forces air up through the
modules to cool the circuit cards.

Top Caps
A top cap is mounted on the top module of each column, and contains the following:
• Air exhaust grills in the cap that release air from the blowers in the pedestal.
• A heat sensor that monitors the temperature of the column.
• A red LED in the front of the cap’s exhaust grill that lights if the system overheats or if
a power outage occurs.
• Ladder racks for routing cables, can also be fitted to the top caps.

Columns are grouped together in rows


• Columns are attached in rows. Column 0 is always the Column containing
the“Core/Net 0” module.
• Column 1 is placed to the left of Column 0 and ALWAYS contains the “Core/Net
1” module.

Core/Network Module
These modules contain the main processor cards and the first Network group. Each
system includes two Core/Net modules.
The NT4N41 CP PII Core/Net module contains a card cage. The card cage contains both
the main processor cards and the first Network group. Two Core/Net modules are
installed side-by-side in each system.

Core shelf
The Core side of the module contains the circuit cards that process calls, manage network
resources, store system memory, maintain the user database, and monitor the health of the
system. These circuit cards also provide administration interfaces through a terminal,
modem, or local area network. The Core shelves on the right side of the modules run in
redundant mode: one Core operates the system while the other Core runs diagnostic
checks and remains ready to take over if an error occurs in the active Core. Both Cores
are connected to each Network group. If one Core fails, the second Core immediately
takes over call processing. The Core shelf backplane is a compact PCI data bus.

Core circuit cards


The Core circuit cards are installed on the “Core” side of the Core/Net module. All Core
circuit cards are installed in the factory prior to shipping.

CNI: PCI Core to Network Interface (NT4N65AB)


The CNI cards connect the Core module cards to the 3PE cards in the Network modules.
Each Core module contains between one and four CNI cards. Since each CNI card can
connect to two Network groups, each Core is connected to a minimum of two groups and
a maximum of eight groups. The number of CNI cards in a system depends on the
number of Network groups in that system. The first CNI card that connects to Network
group 0 and group 1 is installed in slot c9 of each Core/Net module. Each additional CNI
card is installed in ascending order from slots c10 to c12.

CNI Transition card: PCI Core to Network Interface Transition (NT4N66AB)


The CNI Transition cards provide the cable connections to the 3PE Termination Panel in
the rear of the module. A CNI Transition card is mounted directly behind each CNI card
(on the back side of the Core backplane). Four CNI Transition cards for Core/Net Module
are installed in the factory regardless of how many CNI main cards are configured for the
system.

Sys Util: System Utility (NT4N67AA)


The System Utility card supports Card ID. The card provides an interface between the
security device and the computer, and an interface between the XSM and display panel
for each PCI core/net card cage. This card also includes a switch on the faceplate to
enable or disable the Core cards. One System Utility card is installed in slot c15 of each
Core/Net module.

System Utility Transition card (NT4N68AA)


The System Utility Transition card provides connections for the security device, the
system monitor, and the status panel. This Transition card is mounted on the rear of the
backplane (back side) directly behind the System Utility card. One System Utility
Transition card is installed in each Core/Net module.

CP PII: Call Processor Pentium II (A0810496)


The CP PII card contains a Pentium II processor to process calls, manage memory and
monitor the system. This card also provides serial and Ethernet interfaces used to manage
the system.

MMDU: Multi-Media Disk Unit (NT4N43AA)


This MMDU card contains the drives that store system software and databases. This card
includes:
•a hard disk to store the system database and software.
•a floppy disk to install software or back up databases
•a CD-ROM to install system software

One MMDU card is installed in the far right of each Core/Net module.

Core/Net ID switch (description)


Option switches on the side of the System Utility Transition card identify Core/Net
modules as “Core 0” or “Core 1. The Core ID switches are set in the factory. The
Core/Net ID settings are:

Core module ID switch settings (System Utility Transition card)

Network modules

These modules contain the Network equipment that provides the timeslots, or data paths,
for the transmission of voice and data signals. Each system requires a minimum of two
Network modules in addition to the Core/Net modules.

Timeslots
When analog signals are converted into digital form by the Line and Trunk cards in the
IPE modules, the data is routed to a Network card in a Network or Core/Net module.
Network cards provide timeslot paths for the electronic transmission of voice and signal
data. Each phone conversation utilizes two of these timeslots: one for each end of the
conversation.

Loops
Timeslots are organized into loops. Each loop contains 32 timeslots, 30 of which are
available for phone conversations (two timeslots are used for signaling). Each network
slot in a Network module supports 2 loops (64 total timeslots, 60 usable timeslots).

Network and Superloop cards


ENET Network cards (QPC414) provide the capacity for two loops of 60 usable
timeslots. Network cards occupy one Network slot. SNET Superloop cards (NT8D04)
provide the capacity for four loops of 120 usable timeslots. Superloop cards occupy one
slot but utilize the capacity from two adjacent Network slots. When a Superloop card is
installed, the adjacent Network slot is left empty.

Network circuit cards


OCMC: Optical Cable Management (NTRE39) - for CP PII with
Fiber Network Fabric system only
Fiber optic cable used in Network group configuration is easily damaged if bent. The
OCMC card is installed in Network modules to store and protect excess cable length. The
OCMC card ensures that the fiber cable is not bent beyond a 30 mm bend radius. The
OCMC contains no electronic components and is not powered. OCMC is a optional
single width card installed between the Power supply and slot 1 in the Network modules.
OCMC cards cannot be installed in Core/Net modules.

3PE: 3 Port Extender (QPC441)


The 3PE card extends CPU data, address, and control signals to network loops. The 3PE
cards connect to the 3PE Termination Panel in the back of the Core/Net modules. One
3PE card is installed in slot 1 of each Network module and slot 11 of each Core/Net
module.

FIJI Fiber Junctor Interface (NTRB33) - for CP PII with Fiber


Network Fabric system only
FIJI cards are connected with fiber optic cable to form the Dual Ring Fiber Network. This
Fiber Network provides uninterrupted voice and data communication between Network
groups. The FIJI Cards also connect to the Clock Controller cards for precise
management of voice and signal data. FIJI cards require two slots. In Network modules,
one FIJI card is installed in slots 2 and 3. In Core/Net modules, one FIJI card is installed
in slots 8 and 9.

Dual Ring Fiber Network


The Network groups communicate through the Dual Ring Fiber Network. Calls and
conversations are switched and routed across various Network groups as needed. This
Network consists of two distinct rings of fiber optic cable: one ring connects all the FIJI
cards in Network shelf 0’s while the second ring connects all the FIJI cards in Network
shelf 1’s. This network communicates on a subset of the Sonet OC12c protocol (622 Mb
bandwidth on each ring).

Intergroup switching
This Dual Ring fiber optic cable configuration provides complete non-blocking
communication between the network groups; this eliminates the incidence of busy signals
for calls switched between groups. Each FIJI card can handle 32 PCM links. A system of
eight Network groups provides 7680 timeslots for 3840 simultaneous conversations.

Redundancy
This Dual Ring network is fully redundant: each of the fiber optic cable rings is capable
of handling the traffic for an entire eight group network. If a fault in one ring is detected,
the other ring automatically takes over call processing. No calls are lost during the
switchover.

Ring states
The Dual Ring Fiber Network operates under four states
Drives Half (normal state)
• Both Rings share call processing functions.
• Traffic is shared between the two Rings.
• Each FIJI card drives 480 timeslots.

Per Sig: Peripheral Signaling (QPC43)


Provides a signaling interface between the CPU and IPE through the network cards.
Provides basic bit rate 2.048 MHz clock and timing signals for real-time functions. One
Per Sig card is installed in slot 4 of each Network module, and slot 10 of each Core/Net
module.

XNET: Superloop (NT8D04)


Superloop cards provide the timeslots, or data paths for the transmission of voice signals.
These cards connect to the IPE modules, which connect to the telephone lines and trunks.
Each Superloop card controls the capacity of two slots. When a Superloop card is
installed, the adjacent slot is left empty. In Network modules, up to four Superloop cards
are installed in slots 5 to 12. In Core/Net modules, three Superloop cards can be installed
in slots 0 to 7.

ENET: Network (QPC414)


ENET cards provide the same function as Superloop cards. These cards require a single
Network slot and offer half the capacity of the Superloop cards. In Network modules, the
Network cards are installed in slots 5 to 12. In Core/Net modules, the Network cards are
installed in slots 0 to 7. A combination of Network and Superloop cards can be used.

Conference/TDS card (NT8D17)


The Conference/TDS card provides conference call capability, dial tones, and
Multifrequency Sender (MFS) functionality. One Conference/TDS card is located in slot
0 of each Core/Net module.

CC: Clock Controller (QPC471 or QPC775)


The Clock Controller cards synchronize the Meridian 1 system with an external source
clock. This clock transmits timing signals to the CPU, Network groups and other
equipment for the precise management of voice and signal data.
• Two Clock Controller cards are installed in each system. In Fiber Network Fabric
network systems, the Clocks are connected to each other and to the FIJI cards in
Network group 0.
• Clock Controllers must not be installed in Network shelf 0.
• Clock Controllers in a two group system are both installed in Network shelf 1.
• Clock Controllers, where possible, are installed in different Network groups. For
example, one Clock Controller installed in a Network shelf 1. The other Clock
Controller must be installed in a Network shelf 2.
• Clock Controllers are installed in separate columns for power and cooling redundancy.

Intelligent Peripheral Equipment


The Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) modules contain equipment for physically
connecting phone lines and trunks to the Meridian 1 CP PII system. The equipment in
these modules converts the analog voice signals from those telephone and trunk lines into
digital data. When the analog voice and data signal is converted into digital form by the
Line or Trunk Cards in the IPE module, the signal is routed to a Network card (SNET and
ENET) in a Network module. Superloop (SNET) and Network (ENET) cards provide
timeslot paths for the electronic transmission of data. Each phone conversation utilizes
two of these timeslots: one for each end of the conversation.

IPE circuit cards

Line cards
The line cards convert analog voice signals into digital data. These cards connect to
internal telephone lines through the I/O panel on the back of the module. The external
lines are routed through the Modular Distribution Frame (MDF). Line cards are installed
in slots 0 through 15.

Trunk cards
The trunk cards convert analog voice signals into digital data. These cards connect to
external telephone trunk lines through the I/O panel on the back of the module. The
external lines are routed through the Modular Distribution Frame (MDF). Trunk cards are
installed in slots 0 through 15.

Controller card (NT8D01)


The Controller card provides the interface to the Superloop cards in the Network
modules. One Controller card is installed in the center slot of each IPE module.

After the Authorization Data Block (AUB) is created Authorization Codes (AUT) are
configured in the same overlay LD – 88.
• Auth Codes (AUT) with Class Code (CLAS) “000” will not allow any external
calls. Only internal calls can be made.
• Auth Codes (AUT) with Class Code (CLAS) “001” will allow only local calls.
• Auth Codes (AUT) with Class Code (CLAS) “002” will allow local and STD
calls.
• Auth Codes (AUT) with Class Code (CLAS) “003” will not have any restrictions.
Sets with Auth Code having Class Code will be able to make local, STD and ISD
calls.

For configuring set based authorization codes, the class of service (CLS) AUTR
(Restricted Authorization Code) should be enabled while programming a set. The CLS
AUTR will enable maximum of 6 auth codes to be used from a set. The Auth Codes can
be assigned to the sets by giving the command MAUT (Modify Auth Code) at the prompt
ITEM while programming a set.

Interfacing the PBX to LAN in LD - 117

57
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

LD 117 uses a command line input interface (input parser) which has the following
general structure (where “=>” is the command prompt). The following commands are
used for defining the IP address and the Subnet Mask.

NEW HOST PRIMARY_IP 10.1.0.251


NEW HOST SECONDARY_IP 10.1.0.252 (for Dual CPU only)
NEW HOST GATEWAY_IP 10.1.0.1
CHG MASK 255.255.255.0

Verify the IP address for Ethernet by entering the command PRT ENLK and verify host
and subnet mask setting by entering the command PRT HOST and PRT MASK
respectively.

IP address and subnet mask configured for the PBX

=> prt host

ID Hostname IP Address
1 LOCAL_PPP_IF 137.135.192.4
2 REMOTE_PPP_IF 100.1.1.1
3 SUBNET_ MASK 255.255.255.0
4 PRIMARY_IP 10.1.0.251
5 SECONDARY_IP 10.1.0.252
6 GATEWAY_IP 10.1.0.1

=> prt mask

SUBNET MASK: "255.255.240.0"

After all the IP addresses and the Subnet mask are appropriately entered, the ethernet link
should be enabled in LD – 137 using the command ENL ENLK. This command enables
the ethernet link on the active IOP pack. The status of the ethernet link can be obtained by
giving the command STAT ELNK in LD – 137.

Creation of TONE table in -LD 56

Flexible Tones and Cadences

58
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

Flexible Tones and Cadences (FTC) is an optional feature which is used to customize the
tones provided to telephone users. FTC is primarily intended for international markets
where tones which are different from the North American defaults are required.

Overlay program 56 allows the implementation and administration of tone and ringing
parameters for one or more customers. If the FTC feature (package 125) is not equipped,
North American tones and cadences are used. An FTC table number can be entered for
each trunk route at prompt TTBL in LD 16. Table 0 is the default for all trunk routes and
contains the defaults for North America.

What are tones and cadences?


Tones are used to provide call status to telephone users. A tone is defined by both the
frequency and volume of the sound. Tones are provided in on and off phases. One or
more cycles of on/off cycles make up a tone's cadence. For example, the default cadence
for normal North American ringing is 2 seconds on, 4 seconds off, 2 seconds on, 4
seconds off, and so on.

Flexible Tone and Cadence (FTC) Tables


FTC tables define the tones and cadences used for various calling features. Up to 31 FTC
tables can be created. Each table can be associated with one or more trunk routes by
entering the table number in response to prompt TTBL in LD 16.

Master Cadence Table (MCAD)


The Master Cadence Table (MCAD) defines cadences that are controlled by software.
These are used for single line sets (500/2500) and digital sets. The MCAD can have 256
entries (0-255). Each entry can have up to 10 on/off phases each. Entry 0 is reserved for
continuous tone and cannot be changed. Entries 1-15 are reserved for ringing cadences.
Most of the software cadences are continuously repetitive unless it is specified that the
tone should end after the last phase.

TDS and NT8D17 Conference/TDS/MFS cards


There are two types of cards providing tones and cadences
• Tone and Digit Switch (TDS) cards
• NT8D17 Conference, TDS and Multi-Frequency (MF) Sender card
There are a variety of TDS cards. Each card provides a different set of tones and
cadences. When a TDS card is used for SL-1 sets, each tone and cadence is identified by
a hexadecimal code. The decimal equivalents for these hex codes are entered at the
TDSH prompt for each calling feature.

When the NT8D17 Conference/TDS/MFS cards are used, the tones and cadences are
defined by the following prompts
• XCAD = 0-255 - entry in the Firmware Cadence Table (FCAD)
• XTON = 0-255 - tone stored in the card firmware
• CDNC = 0-255 - entry in Master Cadence Table (MCAD)
The ringing cadences for all telephones use the Master Cadence Table (MCAD). MCAD
entries 1-15 are downloaded to the Peripheral Controller to provide ringing.

Meridian Mail

General description
Introduction Meridian Mail is a comprehensive voice processing system
designed for use with Nortel (Northern Telecom)Meridian 1Communication
Systems.

Basic features

Each Meridian Mail user is assigned a private voice mailbox number which
is set up by the administrator. Users log on to their mailboxes using a
password which they create it.Using simple commands at the keypads on
their touch tone telephones, users can compose and listen to voice
messages,and perform general messaging functions such as replying
to,forwarding, and deleting messages.

Meridian Mail can be integrated with the call-processing capabilities of your


switching system to provide messaging features such as Call Answering and
Voice Messaging.
Call Answering prompts callers to leave messages when there is no answer
or the extension is busy; Voice Messaging allows users to compose messages
to, and receive composed messages from, other Meridian Mail users.

In all its applications, Meridian Mail provides recorded prompts to guide the
inexperienced user. These prompts remind the user of available functions
and provide instructions suited for novices. The system detects delays in
user input and supplies additional information to assist the hesitant user.

Optional services

In addition to the basic features, the following optional services are


available:
Networking

62
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

• Meridian Networking (MMUI)


• Enterprise Networking (MMUI)
• Virtual Node AMIS (MMUI)
• Network Message Service (MMUI for single-customer,
Meridian 1 systems only)
• AMIS Networking (MMUI and VMUIF)
Multimedia
• Voice Menus
• Voice Forms
• Fax on Demand
• Meridian ACCESS
Optional services can be tailored to the needs of Meridian Mail users.

Administration

Meridian Mail is administered through a simple, menu-driven administrative


interface available at a terminal or personal computer (PC). Using the
administration menus, the administrator performs the initial configuration of
the Meridian Mail system, maintains the user information base, creates voice
applications such as announcements and Voice Menus, and monitors system
usage and performance. The administrator also uses the menus to perform
routine maintenance on the system. If you have a Multi-customer system,
the administrative tasks can be assigned to several administrators. For
example, a system administrator would be responsible for setting up both the
Meridian Mail system and customer groups to meet specific requirements
and preferences.

To maintain the customers on the system, a customer administrator may


then be assigned to each customer or a group of customers. Of course, you
may still have just one administrator overseeing the whole system. In this
case, the administrator would perform both system and customer
administration tasks.

In the option 81c the ACDN has to be created in LD 23.

Meridian Integrated Conference Bridge

86
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

Meridian Integrated Conference Bridge


System overview:--

The MICB is an Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) card compatible


with Meridian 1 options 21E, 51, 51C, 61, 61C, 71, 81, and 81C. It is also
compatible with Option 11E/11C system.

The system software required to support all 32 MICB ports in each MICB
card is X11 release 22 or later.

The system software must contain the automatic call distribution (ACD)
features and routing software modules to support the MICB operation. You
must consider the ACD resources in the incremental software management
(ISM) of the configuration, where each MICB port represents an ACD agent
that uses a TN from the system resources.

The MICB communicates with X11 system software by emulating a digital


line card, which allows the use of the existing software to control the MICB
operation. Each MICB port is defined as an ACD agent. All MICB ports are
members of the same ACD DN assigned to the MICB card.

MICB description

You can install the Meridian Integrated Conference Bridge (MICB) card into
any IPE card slot that is associated with full 50-pin I/O cables.

A single MICB card provides up to 32 ports that you can partition into
groups from 1 to 10, where each group represents an independent
conference. Alternatively, you can connect two MICB cards together to
provide up to 62 ports for a single conference.

87
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

Note: Systems with X11 release 22 or higher support 32 MICB ports per
card; systems with X11 releases 19 through 21 support only 16 ports per
card.

Each MICB port is configured as an ACD M2616 digital telephone set. The
Meridian 1 system ACD function routes the incoming calls to the MICB,
where each MICB port is treated as an ACD agent. All MICB ports belong
to the same ACD queue and are treated as a pool of ports with equal status.

The MICB supports several conferences simultaneously. The number of


conferences depends on the number of MICB ports available and the number
of participants (conferees) in each conference. For an MICB with 32ports,
there can be a maximum of 10 conferences with three or four participants in
each conference, 1 conference with a maximum of 32 participants, or any
combination in between.

The DNs and the corresponding TNs are system resources, which when
assigned to the MICB ports cannot be used for other Meridian 1 station. For
an MICB with 32 ports, a maximum of 10 simultaneous conferences would
require 20 ACD DNs for the conferees and chairpersons to dial to enter the
conferences, 32 TNs assigned to the ports, and one ADC DN assigned to the
MICB card. Please be aware of this use of system resources when
configuring the MICB card. Conference/TDS card is not used in any
application with the MICB card.

MICB functional characteristics

The function of the MICB card is to schedule and administer multiple


simultaneous conferences. These conferences are scheduled based on time-
of-day, duration of each conference, and number of conferees or ports
allocated for each conference.

The MICB card provides pre-programmed announcements and tones that


correspond to specific events during conferences. These events include
advising the chairperson and other conferees of the status of the conference
connection, indicating when a conferee joins or leaves the conference,
warning the chairperson and the conferees when the scheduled conference
time is about to expire, etc.

Configuring the MICB ports:-

Ports on the MICB card are configured as ACD digital sets, where each port
is considered to be an ACD agent. Each port must be assigned a terminal
number (TN). All ports on an MICB card belong to an ACD queue (group).

This ACD queue is identified with an ACD DN that handles the connection
of conferees (ACD agents) to the appropriate conference. Furthermore, each
conference is assigned a main DN and a chairperson DN, where the main
DN is the number the conferees dial to get into the conference and the
chairperson DN is the number the chairperson dials.

The DNs are configured in Meridian 1 at the time the MICB card is
installed. The total number of DNs is equal to two times the number of
simultaneous conferences you wish to allow. For example, if there are ten
conferences, there will be twenty DNs—ten main DNs and ten chairperson
DNs.

The TN’s used for MICB are as follows total 32 ports:--

From 68 0 8 0

Up to 68 0 8 31

Joining the conference

When several conferences take place simultaneously in the same MICB


card, 4the conferee dials the DN assigned to a specific conference. The
MICB card recognizes the dialed DN and routes the conferee to the
appropriate conference represented by that specific DN.
All ports belonging to an MICB card are routed to the appropriate
conference through the ACD DN assigned to that MICB card, i.e., that ACD
queue. The chairperson dials the chairperson DN to access his or her specific

94
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

conference. This number is different from the DN dialed when the conferees
are accessing that same conference.

The MICB performs DTMF detection on all MICB ports so that both the
chairperson and the conferees can enter certain commands. A conference can
start without the chairperson, and if all allocated ports for a conference are
occupied with conferees, the chairperson cannot join the conference unless a
port is specifically reserved for the chairperson or conference expansion is
allowed and there are free, un-scheduled (floating) ports available.
The first participant joining the conference hears an announcement that
indicates that no other conferee has joined the conference yet, and this
announcement is followed by 60 seconds of music. This announcement with
60 seconds of music is repeated continuously until at least one more
participant joins the conference.

The MICB provides flexibility in configuring conferences. They can be


configured as:
• Pre-scheduled conference with fixed number of ports and fixed start and
stop times
• Pre-scheduled elastic conference with variable number of ports, where they
are added when required (if available) and subtracted as people leave the
conference
• Permanent bridge with a fixed number of ports that can be used without
pre-scheduling the conference

Expanding the conference

You can allow or deny conference expansion by checking the appropriate


box on the MICB Conference Reserver page. If allowed, the number of
conferees belonging to a conference can be expanded as long as there are
remaining MICB ports that are both unassigned and unused.

When reserving the MICB ports for each simultaneous conference, specific
ports are not tagged for a specific conference. The MICB counts the number
of reserved ports and compares them against the total number of ports
provided by the MICB card and makes sure that the reserved ports do not
exceed the total number of ports provided by the MICB card.
Note: If you enable the conference over-booking option, the total number of
ports reserved for conferences can equal, but not exceed, 125% of the port
capacity.

95
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

If additional (not scheduled) callers attempt to join a conference, but they are
not allowed due to lack of floating ports or locked conference, the MICB
card will issue an overflow tone and then disconnect the call.

If un-scheduled (floating) ports are released from a conference, they are


immediately available to be used by other conferences that have the
expansion feature enabled.

The minimum duration of a conference is 15 minutes and the maximum


duration of a time-limited conference is 12 hours. Schedule conference
starting times and conference durations in increments of 15 minutes.

Ending the conference

When a conference is scheduled, the conference’s number of ports, start


time, and duration are specified. The conference ends at the predetermined
time, which is determined by the start time and conference duration. Ten
minutes before the end of a conference, the MICB card issues an
announcement warning the conferees that the conference must terminate in
10 minutes. When the conference time is up, the MICB card issues the final
warning to the conferees. The MICB also sends the release message to
Meridian 1 for all the associated MICB ports. These ports now become
available for the next pre-scheduled conference, or if not scheduled, they
become floating ports not reserved for any other conference and are
available to expand conferences in progress.

Individual conferees can leave a conference in progress at any time. The


MICB detects a conferee leaving the conference and inserts an exit prefix
announcement in the conference and the conferee’s name is announced, if
this feature is enabled.
Note: A conference can begin and end two minutes before the specified time.
This feature allows the system to close all terminating conferences two
minutes earlier and start all conferences that should be started immediately
after the terminating conferences are closed. This feature is important when
terminating and starting conferences use some of the same DNs.

96
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

Chairperson’s function:--

To become a chairperson, you must be the first to dial the chairperson DN.
The chairperson can control conference activities by executing commands
on his or her DTMF telephone. These commands consist of a star (*)
followed by one or two digits. If only a star (*) is dialed, after 5 seconds the
command times out.
Dual-card conferences require two chairpersons, one for the primary card
and one for the secondary card. The primary card chairperson can control
conference activities only on the primary card. Therefore, a secondary card
chairperson is necessary for controlling conference activities on the
secondary card. One exception to this restriction is the Group Call-out
feature. The primary chairperson can activate a group call-out to all
participants in a dual-card conference.

These following paragraphs detail the chairperson commands.

Dial-out:--

The chairperson can dial out and call a new party outside of the conference,
with the intention to confer only with the party or to bring the party into the
conference.

To do this, the chairperson dials *0DN# to dial a party outside the


conference, or *0# to access the operator. The chairperson can then decide to
bring the party into the conference by dialing *2 or disconnect the call by
dialing *3. If you dial the wrong number, you can dial *3 and re-dial. To
redial the last number dialed, the chairperson dials *#.

The MICB card selects the port for dialing out. The port is available if the
number of ports reserved for the conference is greater than the number of
conferees that have joined the conference. The port can also be available if
all the reserved ports are occupied for that conference, but there are some
un-reserved ports available on the MICB card and the port expansion feature
is enabled for that conference. If all reserved ports are occupied and there
are no unscheduled ports available, the call cannot be completed.

97
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

All ports mute/unmute toggle

The chairperson can place all conference participants on mute, excluding


him or herself, by dialing *10. While on mute, the participants can still listen
to the conference. To unmute the participants the chairperson dials *10
again.

Because there is one command for mute and unmute, the system announces
to the chairperson one of two possible voice messages: “All participants
have been muted” or “All participants have been unmuted”. Only the
chairperson hears the mute/unmute announcement.

Self mute/unmute toggle

Any conference participant, including the chairperson, can put himself or


herself on mute by dialing *19. While on mute, the participant can still
listen to the conference.

To unmute, the participant dials *19 again. Because there


is one command for mute and unmute, the system announces to the
participant one of two possible voice messages: “Muted” or “Unmuted”.
Only the participant that activates the command hears the mute/unmute
announcement.

The mute/unmute command is available not only to those


participants who enter the conference by dialling in, but also to those
participants who are brought into the conference through the chairperson’s
dial-out command.

Lock or unlock the conference:--

The chairperson can lock the conference to prevent any new conferees from
joining by dialing *4. The chairperson can unlock the conference by dialing
*4 again and thereby allow new conferees to join the conference.

A caller attempting to join a locked conference hears an announcement


indicating that the conference is locked, and the call is disconnected. The
chairperson can dial-out and include a conferee even if the conference is
locked.

98
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

Because there is one command for lock and unlock, the system announces to
the chairperson one of two possible voice messages: “Meeting is locked” or
“Meeting is unlocked”. Only the chairperson that activates the command
hears the lock/unlock announcement.

Count conferees

The chairperson can execute one of two commands to count the conferees
and play a list of all of the participants. With the execution of either of these
commands, the MICB card issues a string of voice prompts, one for each
conferee in the conference. If a new conferee joins the conference after the
chairperson activates either command, the MICB card does not count that
new conferee.

Note: To announce the names of the conferees through either command,


the conference scheduler must define an Entry & Exit Indication that
requires entry by name.

The two options for counting conferees are:

• Chairperson dials *60 to count the conferees and play the list of
participants for all of the participants. When the list is over, the
conference returns to normal state.

• Chairperson dials *69 to count the conferees and play the list of
participants for only the chairperson. Dialing *69 puts the chairperson
into a “scrolling state” where he or she can execute the following
commands:
When the playlist is over, the MICB automatically returns the chairperson to
the conference unless the chairperson dials #.

Drop all conferees:--

The chairperson can drop all conferees from the conference except the
chairperson by dialing *90. No announcement is issued to the conferees
before disconnecting them. The MICB card issues an announcement to the
chairperson indicating that no conferees are connected to the conference,
followed by 60 seconds of music. The conference is still active, so conferees
can dial in again.

99
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

Chairperson dials... In order to...

# Stop and start the playlist (Chairperson must


dial # after dialing *69 to start the playlist.)

0 Consult privately with the conferee

1 Mute/unmute the conferee

2 Announce the current conferee’s name greeting

4 Select and announce the previous conferee

6 Select and announce the next conferee

9 Disconnect the current conferee

*3 Return to the conference

** Start and stop the help menu

Drop last dialed conferee:--

The chairperson can drop the last conferee to join the conference through
chairperson dial-out by dialing *91. The chairperson can drop the last
conferee to dial in by dialing *92. These commands are not repeatable; that
is, the chairperson can drop the last conferee to dial in but not the
second-to-last to dial in. If the chairperson is the last to dial into the
conference, the MICB card cannot execute the *92 command.

Conference duration expansion:--

The chairperson can expand the duration of a conference by 15 minutes by


dialing *98. The chairperson receives the voice message, “Your meeting
duration has been expanded” if the expansion is successful. If the duration
expansion is not successful due to a lack of resources, such as ports or DNs

100
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

that have already been reserved for other meetings, the chairperson receives
the voice message, “Your meeting duration has not been expanded”.
The maximum conference duration, including all chairperson expansions, is
12 hours. The MICB card does not permit conference duration expansion to
a conference that is scheduled to end within three minutes of the expansion
request.

Chairperson help

The chairperson can access a help menu by dialing **. The help menu is a
voice recording of all chairperson command options. The chairperson can
stop the help menu before it finishes by dialing ** again.

The help command is sensitive to where the chairperson is in the command


structure. For example, if the conference is in the normal active state, the
chairperson hears the main list of commands after dialing **.
If the chairperson dials out to someone and then dials **, the chairperson
hears the list of commands relevant to dialing out. And if the chairperson
dials *69 to count conferees, and then dials **, the chairperson hears the list
of commands relevant to counting conferees.

Conferees can also dial ** to hear a list of command options available to


conferees. Only the participant who dials **, whether the chairperson or a
conferee, hears the relevant list of commands.

Browser user interface (BUI) in MICB

Configuring MICB
Before you can proceed with conference administration through the BUI,
you must:

103
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

1 Configure a VT100 terminal for CLI(command line interface)


access.
2 Enter the keycode information.
3 Set the LAN parameters, including IP address, gateway address,
and subnet mask.
4 Restart the card.
5 Define card and user details through the BUI.

The following sections describe each of these steps.

Configuring the VT100 terminal for CLI access

To access the CLI, you must use a VT100-type terminal.


Specify the VT100-type terminal interface characteristics to ensure
compatibility with the

MICB RS-232 interface.


Set the interface parameters as follows:
• Transmission speed: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bit: 1
• Parity: No
• Flow control: none
Note: Do not use XON/XFF flow control.

Enter the keycode information


When you first connect a VT100 terminal to your MICB card, the CLI
appears and prompts you to enter keycode information. To enter the keycode
information, do the following:
1 At the “Modify, Save, Cancel:” prompt, enter m to Modify.

2 At the “max conf_ports (0):” prompt, enter the number of ports that
corresponds to your MICB Release 2.0 keycode (e.g., 32).

3 At the “Card Feature (BASIC, (1-ADVANCED)):” prompt, press


Return for BASIC functionality.

Note: The ADVANCED option is in place for future call accounting

104
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

capability. This capability is not available at the time of the printing of


this document.
4 At the “Modify, Save, Cancel:” prompt, enter s to Save your
modifications.

5 At the keycode prompts, enter “(key-code1)13531573”,

“(key-code2)15061470”, and “(key-code3)41774113”

(eight characters each) for MICB Release 2.0 functionality.

Set the LAN parameters:--

If the keycode entry is successful, the CLI notifies you and presents you
with a login prompt. You can now enter the LAN parameters for your MICB
with the following procedure:

1 Once the system successfully registers the MICB Release 2.0


keycode, log into the CLI as admin.

2 At the “SAdmin, SMint, PAdmin, PMaint, RGen, LOgout, ?:” prompt,


enter sa to access System Administration.

3 At the “SYstem, REcorder, ?:” prompt, enter sy to access System


Attributes.

4 Enter the system attributes of the MICB Release 2.0 card, including
the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask.

5 At the “Modify, Save, Cancel:” prompt, enter s to Save the system


attributes.

6 At the “Restart MICB?” prompt, enter Yes.

7 From a PC terminal, “ping” the MICB card to ensure that it has a


proper connection to the LAN. To ping an MICB card, do the
following:
— Click on the Start button and select Run from the Start Menu.
— In the “Open:” field, enter “ping <IP address>” where <IP
address> is the IP address of the MICB card.

105
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

— Click the OK button, and observe the DOS window that opens.
If you receive the message, “Reply from <IP address>...”, you have
set
up the LAN connection properly and you can proceed. If you receive
the message, “Request timed out.”, there is a problem with the LAN
connection.

Define card and user details through the BUI:--

Note: You are now ready to access the Browser User Interface (BUI) to
configure card attributes, users, and conferences. To access the BUI, you
must have Netscape Communicator 4.5+ or Internet Explorer 4.01+ with
service pack 1.

Before you can administer conferences on an MICB card, you must first
define the card’s details through the BUI. To define an MICB Release 2.0
card’s details, do the following:
1 Open your web browser on your PC, enter the following in URL
field:
<MICB card IP address>/micb.htm for an embedded server, or
<PC server IP address>/micb/micb.html for an external server,
and press Return.
2 At the MICB Release 2.0 login page, enter admin for the login and
000000 (six zeros) for the password. This brings you to the MICB
Administration Utility.

3 Click on the Cards tab of the MICB Administration Utility to


configure card attributes.

4 Click on an open field in the “Card Name” column and enter a


name for the card, up to 20 characters.
Note: If you entered a card name in the System Attributes of the CLI,
and you are using the embedded server option, the name of the card
will already be in the “Card Name” column.

5 Click on the “Card ID” field next to the card name and enter the
appropriate card ID.

6 Click on the Display Details button at the bottom-left of the screen.

106
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

This displays (at the right side of the screen) the details of the
selected card.
Note: If you use the embedded server option, certain details of the
card already appear at the right, such as hardware and software
information and the card’s IP address.

7 In the card details section, enter the appropriate details for the
selected card, including the card type, the TUI DN, and the
conference DN pairs.
Note: If you use the external server option, you must first enter the
card’s IP address and select the appropriate card type; then click
Apply. This establishes the external server’s connection to the card.
You can then proceed to configure the rest of the card attributes.

8 Be sure to configure any necessary Group Calls and Weekdays


settings.
9 Program any permanent bridges from the original MICB in the
Permanent Conferences settings.

10 Click Apply to save all of the card attributes.


11 At the top-left of the MICB Administration Utility, click on the
Properties button to open the “System Properties” dialog box.
Enter the ‘Mail server IP address’ and

Click OK to establish email notification to users.


Note: For email notification to work, the mail server IP address must
be ‘unrestricted’ and able to send email to everyone on the network.

12 Click on the Users tab of the MICB Administration Utility to


configure users for your MICB card.

13 Click Apply after you define each user to save all of the user
attributes.
14 Notify the users of their user (login) ID and passwords so that they
can access the BUI and TUI.
Users can now access the BUI and the TUI to define and manage
conferences.

107
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

MICB password security


To protect functional and software upgrades, the MICB provides the
Protected Administration menu, accessible in the CLI. This menu allows you
to edit passwords and perform functional and software upgrades.

The Login window

The first window you see when you point your web browser to the MICB
BUI is the login window. To point your browser to the MICB BUI, enter <IP
address>\micb.htm in the URL field and press Return. <IP address> is the
IP address of the MICB card or the external server.

At the LOGIN prompt, enter your login ID(admin). The administrator


determines each user’s login ID. At the PASSWORD prompt, enter the
password(123456) The password is six digits and is the same one you use to
access the TelephoneUser Interface (TUI). The first time you log in as a user
or super-user, you use a default password that the administrator determines.
After you log in, you can change the password by clicking on the key icon in
the Conference Manager window.

When you log in to the MICB BUI, the login ID connects you to the server
as a particular user type. The administrator determines what user type each
user is. The three user types and their functionality are:
• User—A user can reserve conferences under his or her account as well
as modify and delete his or her own conferences. A user can also view all

108
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

scheduled conferences.

• Super-user—In addition to the normal user functionality, a super-user


can reserve conferences under other users’ accounts. A super-user can
modify and delete the conferences of other users.

• Administrator—The administrator manages MICB system parameters,


including user IDs, group-call tables, permanent bridges, and other
MICB features.

Users and super-users use the same BUI, while the administrator BUI is
different. The user/super-user BUI handles conferences. The administrator
BUI is only for system management and does not schedule conferences. The
administrator can create permanent bridges, while the user and super-user
cannot. In the external server configuration, each user/super-user is
associated with one MICB card only and has no access to other cards. The
administrator manages all MICB cards that the web server controls.

Note: The administrator must first define all card attributes and user
attributes before user and super-users can access the BUI to schedule
conferences.

MICB administration utility


To enter the MICB administrator BUI, enter the administrator login ID and
password at the login window.
Figure shows the MICB Administration Utility window, which is the main
administration window.
Across the top of the main administration window are five buttons:

• Properties button opens the Properties window

• Password button opens the Change Password dialog box, which allows
the administrator to change the administrator password .

• Apply button saves the current data

109
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

• Help button opens the online help

• Exit button terminates the BUI session and logs you out

Administration page and the Users administration page. Click on the tab for
the page you want to view.

Users administration

Manage MICB user parameters from the Users page of the MICB
Administration Utility In the external server configuration, the
external web server stores all user data. In the embedded server
configuration, each MICB card stores its own user data.

The table on the left side of the Users page lists all of the users, listing for
each user the user name (up to 20 characters) and the login ID (up to 10
characters).

110
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

You can sort the list by either user name or user ID by clicking on the title of
the appropriate column. For example, to sort the list alphabetically by user
ID, click on the User ID column head. You can select a particular user by
clicking on it; the selected user is highlighted, and the user details appear on
the right.
Note: The “User ID” functions as the login ID for the user.

The Add User button below the table opens a new line below the currently
selected user. You can enter a new user in this new line.

The Remove User button deletes the currently selected user.


You can define up to 1000 users in the external server configuration or up to
100 users in the embedded server configuration. A user can be assigned to
only one MICB card. The ‘Filter’ area at the bottom of the Users page
allows you to display a select subset of users. When you click the Filter
button, only users matching the ‘Text to Find:’ field appear in the users list.
The Show All button cancels the filter and re-displays the entire list of users.

User details

The parameters of the selected user appear on the right-hand side of the
Users page. You can configure the following attributes for each user:
User type: The type of user, either user, super-user, or administrator.

Note: Initially, there is one user of type ‘administrator’ with password


‘000000’ and billing account number of 1. This is for the first login after
installation.

Telephony ID: The user ID for user login to the TUI, up to six digits in
length.

e-mail: The e-mail address of the user, for receiving reservation


confirmation by e-mail, up to 36 characters in length.

111
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

billing purposes. This number appears in the billing


reports and in Meridian 1 CDR records for conferences
owned by the user.

MICB Card name: The name of the card the user is assigned to. Only the
external server configuration supports this field.

Click the Reset Password button to reset the selected user’s password to the
initial password.

Group-call configuration
For each MICB card, you can define groups for the group-call feature. To
enter the group-call setup, click on the Group Calls... button on the cards
page of the main administration window. The Group Calls dialog box then
appears, as Figure shows.

The table on the left side of the Group Calls dialog box lists all of the groups
defined for the selected card. You can define up to 64 group-call lists per
card.The group number is the number that the chairperson dials when
executing the group-call command. The group name is up to 20 characters of
free text that describes the group. The BUI sorts the group-call lists by group
number.

112
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

You can select a group by clicking on a particular row of the table. The
group is then highlighted and the group’s details appear at the right.

The Add Group button below the table opens a new line below the currently
selected group. You can enter a new group in this new line.

The Remove Group button deletes the currently selected group.

Group details
The group details on the right side of the Group Calls dialog box lists the
DNs assigned to the selected group. The order of the DNs indicates the
priority of calling; for example, when a conference has seven ports available,
the MICB dials only the first seven DNs on the list. A group call list can
contain up to 61 DNs.

The Add DN button to the right of the table opens a new line below the
currently selected DN. You can enter a new DN, up to 20 digits, in this new

113
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

line. The MICB sets the DN number in the left-hand column automatically.

The Remove DN button deletes the currently selected DN.


You can also configure the following attributes for each group:
Wait time for answer: The number of seconds to wait for a called party
to answer when dialling the selected group. The range is
15-90 seconds.
Default: 30 seconds

Number of call attempts: The number of times to dial each number in the
group call list. The MICB card can re-dial a number in
the case of failure. A value of 1 means only one attempt
with no retries. The range is 1-3 attempts.
Default: 1 attempt

Time period between attempts: In case of dialing failure, the number of


seconds the MICB card waits before re-dialing the
number. The range is 5-30 seconds.
Default: 10 seconds
Permanent-conference configuration

For each MICB card, you can define permanent conferences, or bridges. To
enter the permanent-conference setup, click on the Permanent
conferences... button on the cards page of the main administration window.
The Permanent Conferences dialog box then appears.

\Note: MICB Release 2.0 does not support dual-card permanent


conferences. However, you can define permanent conferences on either
of the cards in a dual-card configuration, as long as the number of
participants does not exceed the number available on that particular card
(maximum of 32).

114
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

The table on the left side of the Permanent Conferences dialog box lists all
of the permanent conferences defined for the selected card. The conference
name is up to 20 characters of free text that describes the conference.

You can select a conference by clicking on a particular row of the table. The
conference is then highlighted and the conference’s details appear at the
right.

The New button below the table opens a new line below the currently
selected permanent conference. You can enter a new conference in this new
line.
The Submit button sets the currently defined permanent conference.

115

an RJ45 coupler and additional RJ45 cable, if necessary. Connect the
50-pin male connector to the MDF cable.

4 Connect a VT-100 terminal to the MIRAN using the provided


NTAG81GA cable.
Note: You can use the NTAG81CA cable to connect a terminal to
the J2 faceplate connector.

5 Configure the terminal in VT-100 mode at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1


stop bit, and no parity.

6 Insert the MIRAN card into an unequipped IPE slot and watch the
terminal screen for boot-up commands. This requires approximately
90 seconds.
Note: Before you install a MIRAN card into an IPE slot, ensure that
no cross-connect wires from another product remain attached to this
slot Cross-connect wires that carry a ringing voltage can damage the
MIRAN card.

7 At the logon screen of the text-based user interface, ensure that the

128
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

cursor is in the ‘User Name:’ field. Then log on by doing the following:
— Type in the user name (admin), and press the ‘down’ arrow.
— Type in the administrator default password (admin000), and press
the ‘down’ arrow again.
— Press <CR> at the ‘Login’ prompt.

Note: If you receive an ‘Access denied’ response, press the ‘Shift’ key
and tilde (~) to refresh the screen. Then repeat step 7. You can repeat
step 7 up to three times. If you receive an ‘Access denied’ response for a
third time, the MIRAN card locks you out for 20 minutes.

8 At the Main menu:


—Select 2, “Pack Administration”
— Then select 2, “Keycode Entry”

Note: The keycodes are on a label that accompanies the security


device. Pull off this keycode label and attach it to the MIRAN
faceplate. Between the brackets, type in the 24-character keycode
with a space between each set of eight characters. Select Execute to
execute the keycode. Wait for a keycode validation response
(‘Keycode validated’). Then select Exit to return to the Pack
Administration menu.

Note: If you do not need ethernet capability for your MIRAN, you can
omit step 9 and just log out of the text-based user interface after step 8.

9 At the Pack Administration menu, select 6, “Ethernet Configuration”.


At the Ethernet Configuration screen, enter the new IP address,
subnet mask, Gateway, and IP method of the MIRAN card, which you
received from your network administrator. Select Set to set the
ethernet configuration parameters. Then select Exit to return to the
Pack Administration screen. Finally, log out of the text-based user
interface by selecting 9 from the menu screen until the Main Menu
screen appears.

10 Reboot the MIRAN card by pressing the reset switch on the front
of the pack. This causes the keycode to take effect. Wait for the card

129

The DID unit to allow local telephone access for the recording of RAN
announcements.
Note: You can perform this step first.

12 Use a local DTMF telephone to dial the DID access code for
MIRAN unit 7.

Note: The local DTMF telephone must have an ‘unrestricted’ Class of


Service; that is, CLS = UNR in Overlay 11.

Enter the number sign (#), then the user name (‘user’=8737)
followed by star (*), then the password (87370000) followed by star
(*). Next,press 5 and then press 5 again to begin recording a RAN
announcement. When you have finished recording, press 3 to stop
the recording and press 1 to save the announcement. Because
MIRAN writes the recording to flash memory, it can take 30 seconds
or longer for MIRAN to respond that it has saved the announcement.
Please be patient.

13 Program RAN and Music routes and trunks for the remaining
channels. For example, program channel 0 as a Music trunk and
channel 1 as a RAN trunk.

130
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

Note: MIRAN Release 2.0 comes with royalty-free music


pre-assigned to channel 0 and set to play ‘always’. Therefore, Nortel
Networks recommends that you configure channel 0 as a Music
route.

However, you can remove this assignment and assign any other
announcement or music file in its place.

WARNING

After you press 1 to save the announcement, do not hang-up, but wait
for MIRAN to state that it has saved the announcement and tagged the
announcement with an announcement identifier (example:
‘Announcement has been saved as announcement 1’).
14 Log in to the MIRAN using the default user name (user) and
password (user0000). You can log in to the text-based user interface
through the maintenance terminal as before. Or, if you have
connected the MIRAN to the ethernet, you can access the MIRAN
browser user interface (BUI) by pointing your web browser to the IP
address of the MIRAN card. To assign a announcement to a MIRAN
channel, do the following:
— At the Main Menu select (1) “MIRAN Administration...”.
— At the MIRAN Administration menu select (1) “Announcement
Configuration...”.
— At the Announcement Configuration menu select (1) “Calendar
Operations...”.
— At the Calendar Operations menu select (1) “Calendar
Assignment with Descriptor”.
— At the Calendar Assignment with Descriptor screen, enter first the
channels (ports) for a particular announcement to play on. For
example, if the TN for a RAN trunk is 52 0 1 5, then you can assign

a announcement to channel 5.

— At the ‘Filename:’ prompt, enter the filename of the


announcement that must play on the channels you selected. You
can ‘Browse’ the list of available announcements to select one.

131
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

— At the ‘Descriptor’ prompt, enter the descriptor that defines when


the selected announcement will play on the selected channels.
You can ‘Browse’ the list of available descriptors to select one.
(Remember that you can define your own descriptors if the
pre-configured descriptors do not meet your needs.)
— Move the cursor to ‘Add to Calendar’ and press <CR> to create
the calendar assignment with descriptor.
15 To test RAN announcements, dial the trunk access code for the
desired RAN route and listen to the announcement that plays.

16 Manually back up RAN announcements and configuration in the


eventc of a power loss or MIRAN re-boot. To complete a back-up, do
the following:
— At the Main Menu select (1) “MIRAN Administration...”.
— At the MIRAN Administration menu select (3) “Backup
Configuration”.
— At the ‘Device:’ prompt, enter the drive you want to make a backup
to. For example, enter A: to back up the MIRAN configuration
information to a PCMCIA card in drive A:.
Select from the choices below. The list below does not appear on the
menu screen. Perform the backup procedure twice: once on Internal
Storage C, and once on device “A” or “B”, if equipped.

• Internal Storage C (old s/w Rls. 1.39 or 1.46 backup


s/w to internal storage “C”)
• External ATA A Backup when using a spare
PCMCIA
• Internal ATA B When PCMCIA resides on the
MIRAN card
• Exit out to the Main Menu
Note: MIRAN provides an automatic save function after you exit the

telephone user interface (TUI). If you make changes through the


text-based user interface or the browser user interface (BUI), you
must back up manually.

Configuring RAN routes


The MIRAN card emulates an Enhanced Universal Trunk (EXUT) card in
the Meridian 1 system. Therefore, you configure RAN routes and trunks for
the MIRAN card in the same way you do for the EXUT card. For detailed

132
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

information on overlays Trunk Route Administration (LD 16) and Trunk


Administration (LD 14).

To configure the RAN propagation route and the mode of activating the
recorded announcement, you must define its parameters using Trunk Route
Administration program LD 16. The MIRAN emulates the Enhanced
Universal Trunk characteristics and does not require modification of LD 16
to configure the MIRAN functions. Specifically, the MIRAN and the
Enhanced Universal Trunk card support the following modes of operation:
— Delay Dial Continuous RAN (DDL)
— Immediate Start Continuous RAN (IMM)
— Level Start/Stop RAN (LVL, MLSS, or MLVL)
The MIRAN supports all of the above on two, four, or eight independent
ports. Thus, you can assign the same RAN announcement to different ports,
thereby allowing multiple callers to hear the same announcement at the same
time.
Note: With X11 release 23 and the availability of RAN Broadcast, up to
30 callers can simultaneously listen to the same RAN announcement on
a single RAN port.

Continuous RAN routes (Delay Dial and Immediate Start)

Continuous (immediate or delay) RAN plays an announcement over and


over again. Callers “barge in” on a announcement playing on an Immediate
Start RAN route. Callers receive a ringback tone for an announcement
playing on a Delay Dial RAN route until the announcement begins again. At
the end of each announcement, a pulse is issued on the control pulse line that
is used by the trunk unit to cut through to the waiting call. External channels

barge in at any time during the announcement, internal ports/channels wait


until the announcement starts to be connected to a RAN announcement.

To configure a continuous RAN route, load Route Data Block program LD


16 using the system TTY and enter the appropriate responses to the prompts
.
Note 1: These prompts only appear if RTYP = MCON.

Configuring the MIRAN trunks


After you configure a RAN, Music, or DID route, you can configure the
route’s corresponding trunk. A trunk data block specifies the parameters for
a particular trunk. Because the MIRAN emulates the Enhanced Universal
Trunk card, you can define the MIRAN parameters using the Trunk
Administration program LD 14 on the system TTY.

Connecting an external audio device

You can connect an analog audio source and receiver to the MIRAN for the
following purposes:
— recording music or announcements to the Flash memory
— backing up announcements from the MIRAN to a tape or to another
MIRAN card
— connecting directly through a trunk emulation port/channel into the

Meridian 1 for MOH.


You can connect the analog device to either of the following:
— the 3.5 mm Audio Jack on the MIRAN faceplate
— at the MDF

136
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

Analog to internal pass-thru switchover


For Music-on-Hold, both analog ports can be used at the same time, each
assigned to different internal channels.To allow switching from an analog
source to an internal channel, the configuration of each channel is polled
every 30 seconds to check for an assignment switchover. If the assignment is
for a voice file, the playthrough will be stopped and the voice file started
immediately, and vice versa. This switchover always occur at the end of the
file to avoid hearing truncated announcements.

Connecting audio devices to the MIRAN faceplate


The MIRAN has a 3.5 mm Audio Jack at the top part of the faceplate. This
jack provides one audio input and one audio output.

To connect the external audio source to the MIRAN faceplate audio jack:

1 Plug the 3.5 mm jack on the common side of the NTAG81AA Audio
Cable into the 3.5 mm Audio Jack on the MIRAN backplane.

2 Plug the audio input end of the NTAG81AA cable connector into the
audio source device. If the source is at a distance from the MIRAN,
you may have to use an extension (not supplied).

3 Plug the audio output end of the NTAG81AA cable connector into
the audio receiver device (for announcement backup). If the source
is at a distance from the MIRAN, you may have to use an extension
(not supplied).

Connecting audio devices at the MDF


The MIRAN provides two audio inputs and two audio outputs at the MDF.

Analog device connection at the MDF

137
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

To connect the external audio devices at the MDF, refer to Figure and
follow these steps:

1 Position the audio devices in a convenient location.

2 Obtain the required audio cables of the appropriate length. The


cable should have open wires at one end to connect to the MDF
connector block.

3 Connect each audio cable to the appropriate Analog GND and Port
terminal on the MDF. Refer to Figure for signal name and color code
of the 25-pair tip/ring cable pairs.

4 Plug the other end of each audio cable into the appropriate audio
device, as shown in the Figure.

Note: The multi-I/O adapter cable connects the I/O panel to the MDF.
Figure illustrates the external audio source and backup device connections
at the MDF. It shows two audio inputs that provide external music or

138
Nortel Meridian Option81c Document

announcements to the MIRAN and two audio recorders that provide backup
of announcements located in the MIRAN. Analog audio sources have a
separate analog ground (AGND), and analog audio backup devices have
their own separate (AGND). An audio cable extends from the MDF to the
audio device.
