Administering MCT for ISDN notification
The following describes how to administer the ISDN MCT notification for an
ISDN trunk group (public-ntwrk, tandem, tie, or access).
Display the System-Parameter Customer-Options form and ensure that ISDN is
enabled.
One of the following must be set on the DS1 form:
■If the DS1 is connected to the public network in Australia, set Country
Protocol field to 2.
■For a private network of DEFINITY systems, set Country Protocol to 1
and Protocol Version to a. This is recommended if DCS features are
used in the private network.
■For a private network of DEFINITY systems, set Peer Protocol to
q-sig. (Peer Protocol appears on the DS1 form when Signaling
Mode field is isdn-pri, Connect field is pbx, and Interface field is
peer-master or peer-slave.)
One of the following must be set on the ISDN-BRI Trunk Circuit Pack form:
■If the ISDN-BRI is connected to the public net work in Australia, set
Country Protocol field to 2.
■For a private network of DEFINITY systems, set Interface to
peer-master or peer-slave.
Considerations
■Trunks involved in MCT are blocked from dropping to facilitate tracing.
Telephones involved in a malicious call are not blocked from dropping.
■Except for Emergency Access to the Attendant, features that normally
display information do not do so on a controlling telephone. Otherwise,
these features function normally until MCT deactivates.
■Do not use FACs to activate MCT because the process takes users too long.
■Visually Impaired Attendant Service (VIAS) voices-o u t display
information for MCT activation, but not for MCT control.
■MCT information on an active malicious call is lost during a switch failure.
■When directing a trace to an adjacent switch, consider the following:
— The malicious caller may hear a warning tone as a result of the
intrusion.
