Verifying Switch Identifiers 6
For communications between switches to operate properly, the switch identifiers
must be properly set:
■ The switch identifier must be appropriate for a MERLIN LEGEND or
DEFINITY system.
■ The switch identifier must be appropriate for near or far distance between
connected systems.
■ The switch identifier must be programmed on every tandem trunk
If the switch identifiers are not properly set, any or all of the following problems
may occur:
■ Automatic cycling not blocked
■ ARS not working across systems (the switch can’t identify tandem versus
central office lines).
■ Incorrect call signaling information sent for calls to the VMS/AA (exact
results depend on the VMS used).
■ Incorrect SMDR reports
■ Message Waiting light updates not sent or received properly
■ Other unidentified problems
To check the switch identifier on a system, consult “Switch Identifiers” in Chapter 5
of this guide. Alternatively, follow one of the summary procedures listed below,
starting from the System Programming menu on your console or PC.
