A Note About the Logical and Physical Numbers Used By Roamer:
Roamer uses logical and physical numbers to move users from one phone to another. A physical number (e.g., 4502) is the actual extension associated to a Dterm or station through the NEAX2400 MAT. A logical number (e.g., 202) is an arbitrary number that is associated to a telephone user and that is controlled by the Open Application Interface (OAI). Physical numbers are not moved. Logical numbers move with the user. Thus, when a user indicates a move, Roamer finds the user’s logical number and reassigns it to the physical number of the new telephone.
During installation, a logical number and a home physical number are assigned to each user in the Roamer database. Assignments are made at the NEAX2400 MAT which associates those physical numbers to specific Dterms.
These two sets of numbers can be the same or different. If they are different and OAI processing is interrupted, Roamer may lose access to the physical numbers since OAI relocates users by their logical numbers. If the two numbering systems are the same and OAI processing is interrupted, all users can be restored to their physical home phone numbers by disabling the Free Location Feature through the NEAX2400 MAT.
The installation process, including its presentation in this manual and reference to other manuals that you need to complete installation, is illustrated in Figure
