Cabletron Systems 1800 Switch User Manual


 
13-14 SmartSwitch 1800 4.0 User Guide, Rev 01
Auto Poll
enables or disables auto polling if
Auto Dial
is set to
Y
. When
Auto Poll
is enabled, the
SmartSwitch 1800 polls the destination device with the frequency specified by
Auto
Poll Timer
. If the poll is not acknowledged, the SmartSwitch will "busy out" the
channel. This parameter can be useful in situations where the destination is an emer-
gency number that must always be available. If the destination does not answer the
automatic poll, the busy-out condition will notify an attached PBX that the emergency
call should be routed to another call routing device.
Auto Poll Timer
is the frequency with which an
Auto Poll
will be sent.
Enhanced Dialing Parameters
Dial Timer
is a delay the SmartSwitch 1800 will use to determine when variable-length dialing is
complete. (Variable-length dialing allows the user to place a call without entering the
configured number of digits for the speed dial number.)
When the operator of the attached voice/fax equipment dials a digit that is not the con-
fig ur ed
Long Dial Prefix
, the SmartSwitch 1800 assumes a speed-dial number is being
dialed and activates the
Dial Timer
. If the timer expires with no new digit entries, the
SmartSwitch will assume dialing is complete.
A setting of
0
means the
Dial Timer
will never expire. (The SmartSwitch
1800 will wait indefinitely for the operator to enter the digits.)
If the number of dialed digits is less than the value specified for
Speed Map Dial Digits
in Voice System-Level Configuration, the SmartSwitch 1800 will "pad" the dialed
number with leading zeros before searching the speed-dial map table. For example,
assume
Speed Map Dial Digits
is
4
and the user dials
33
when the Dial Timer expires.
The speed dial number
0033
will be used to search the map table for a defined desti-
nation.
Note that regardless of the
Dial Timer
setting, any of the following conditions and/or
configurations will disable variable-length dialing:
1.Long-call-format dialing is being used. The SmartSwitch 1800 assumes this
format is being used if the first digit dialed is the character configured for
Long
Dial Prefix
.
2.
# of Leading Digits to Delete
is set to any value greater than
0
.
3.
Auto Dial
is set to
Y
.
Source of Extended Digits
specifies (if
Extended Dial Digits
in Voice System-Level Configuration is greater than
0
) the source of the extended digits when the user of attached equipment dials a speed-
dial number.
When
MAP
is specified for
Source of Extended Digits
, extended digits are taken from
the
Extended Dial String
in the speed-dial map table. When
USER
is specified, extended
digits are taken from the user of attached equipment (i.e., the user must dial a speed-
dial number and an extended digit string).
See the Store and Forward Dialing examples on page C-1 for more information about
how this parameter is used.
