SmartSwitch 1800 Voice Configuration

Valid values for the voice concentrator vary depending on the device type; the numbers below relate to ACT NetworksÕ SDM network access devices.

SDM:

Digits 1-2= Switch number 01-61.

Digits 3-4= Port number 00-15.

Digit 5= Slot number 1-8 if FP or DX. Slot number 1-4 if JFP.

Digit 6= Channel number 0-5 if DVC. Arbitrary (typically 1-6) if FP or JFP.

Extended Dial String

This is an extended set of digits that will be forwarded with the call if Ext. Digits Source is set to Map in the Voice ConÞguration window (see ConÞguring Voice Ports, page 12-8). If Ext. Digits Source is set to User, any extended digits must be entered by the operator at the initiating device.

Calls placed to a speed-dial number will go to the device (e.g., PBX) whose full number is associated with that speed-dial number in the Voice Speed Dial ConÞguration window. If extended dial digits are included in the table or the call, the call will automatically be forwarded through the remote device to the telephone number that matches the extended digits.

Adding or Modifying Speed Dial Numbers

First, access the Voice Speed Dial ConÞguration Window (see Speed Dial

ConÞguration, page 12-5).

To add a new Speed Dial Number:

1.Enter the configurable values for each number.
