7-36 INSTALLING INTEL TELEPHONY COMPONENTS
The method you use to configure Robbed Bit T1 signaling depends on how your carrier signals
events:
If your carrier uses only A and B bits for T1 Robbed Bit signaling, you can use the
TeleVantage Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter to test the line, manually change bit settings,
or import signaling templates via the TeleVantage Administrator.
If you carrier uses C and D bits for Robbed Bit signaling, you must configure the C and
D bits manually using the TeleVantage Administrator. See “Configuring Robbed Bit T1
signaling manually” on page 7-40.
Note:
Most carriers who use C and D bits can optionally set up their system to use only
A and B bits, so that you can still use the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter.
Installing the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter
Install the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter on the TeleVantage Server PC by running the following
file on the Master CD:
\Server\tvrbt1.exe
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Restart your PC when you are
prompted to do so.
Using the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter
Use the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter to configure event signaling correctly in TeleVantage if
your carrier only uses A and B bits for Robbed Bit signaling. If your carrier uses C and D bits,
you must configure signaling manually, according to the instructions on page 7-40.
The Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter dialog box explains exactly how to ask your carrier for this
information for each event, for example:
“What are A and B bits set to when I receive an incoming call?”
“What do I have to set the A and B bits to in order to seize the line when I detect an
incoming call?”
“What is the setting of the line's A and B bits when the line is idle?”
Your carrier will also provide other information based on the services you ordered on the
Robbed Bit T1 line, including the following:
Whether the digit signaling is Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) or Multi-Frequency
(MF)
What signal to send the central office to indicate TeleVantage is ready to receive the
digit string (this is usually a wink)
The Transmit and Receive Wink definition
The format of the incoming ANI/DID/DNIS string
