Terminal Administration
Issue 5 January 1998
14-7555-230-024
Administration Without Hardware can be used to streamline system initializations,
major additions, and rearrangement/changes by allowing telephone translations
to be entered before the actual ports are assigned.
DEFINITY ECS Administration Without Hardware can be used on the following
terminal types:
■ Analog telephones
■ Digital Communications Protocol telephones
■ Hybrid telephones
Large DEFINITY ECS configurations support additional terminal types to those
listed above. These include:
■ Attendant consoles
■ Voice/computers (such as Digital Communications Protocol terminals with
voice and data capabilities)
■ Data modules
■ ISDN Basic Rate Interface telephones and computers
■ Analog queue warning ports
■ Announcement circuit packs
Terminal Translation Initialization
DEFINITY ECS provides terminal translation initialization, a feature that works with
Administration Without Hardware. Terminal translation initialization associates the
terminal translation data with a specific port location through the entry of a spe-
cial feature-access code, a terminal translation initialization security code, and
an extension number from at a terminal that is connected to a wired
— but
untranslated — jack.
Once a terminal is connected to an appropriate jack, the terminal user can dial
the appropriate codes followed by a pre-translated extension number of an
Administration Without Hardware terminal. The system will complete the adminis-
tration of the terminal by associating the translation data with the port location
and performing appropriate checks.
Terminal translation initialization reduces the labor associated with system initial-
izations, major additions, rearrangement and changes, and building wiring.
Translation data entry can be performed without knowledge of the physical layout
of circuit packs. End-users can move their own station equipment if a building is
wired to support it, reducing costs for station moves. Individual lines need only
be wired to the correct type of port, rather than a specific port.
System administrators maintain control over the use of terminal translation initial-
ization through security codes. By activating and deactivating security codes,
