Toshiba Release 4.0 manual To connect a fractional T1 or E1 line to Strata CS

For example, you may have another CT application installed on the Strata CS Server that needs to own some Dialogic devices for itself. You would identify the specific Dialogic devices and channels required by the CT application, and then disable those devices. When Strata CS opens Dialogic devices at startup, it will ignore the disabled devices, making them available to the CT application.

Note: You do not need to reserve devices when developing an IVR Plug-in, which will automatically share Strata CS’s Dialogic resources as needed.

nTo connect a fractional T1 or E1 line to Strata CS

For example, you may have a T1 line with 12 channels instead of 24. To connect this T1 line to Strata CS, you still connect it to a Dialogic card with 24 channels, but you disable half of the channels. When Strata CS starts, it will see 12 instead of 24 trunks, which will match the fractional T1 line. You must be sure to disable the correct half, for example, trunks 1-12 or trunks 13-24, whichever matches the fraction of the T1 line you have.

nTo ignore several trunks on a voice board and use its voice processors only

For example, you may want to support a 1T1-by-24-station configuration in the minimum number of slots. The best way would be to install a D480SC-2T1 card that supports two T1 lines and 48 voice processors in one slot, and an MSI240 board to support 24 stations in a second slot. You would install the 2T1 line card even though you only have one T1 line because the D480SC-2T1 card has 24 extra voice processors that you can use to provide dial tone and voice prompts for the 24 stations. Installing a D240SC-T1 card and a D240SC card for the voice processors would require more slots. For this configuration, you would disable the network resources for the second T1 line on the D480SC-2T1 card. Strata CS will not see them when starting up, but it will see all the voice processors.

To disable Dialogic devices in the Windows NT/2000 registry

1.Using the conventions described in “Dialogic device names” (in the next section), determine the device names for the Dialogic devices you want to disable.

2.Run Regedit.

3.Create the following key (if it does not already exist):

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Toshiba\Strata CS\Server\Settings

4.Create a string value under Settings named DisableDevices.
