Appendix B: Glossary 227
dedicated notification When the first port of Amanda is set aside for notifica-
tion only. It is displayed as 1/N (as opposed to 1/A) on
the Main Screen of a standalone Amanda system. The
port description is displayed as Notify (as opposed to
Answer) on the Amanda Monitor.
The extension connected to port 1 of Amanda must have
outside access so that pager notification can be success-
ful. You must make sure that no incoming calls are rout-
ed to port 1 and instead port 2 is designated as the first
answer port. This is useful in eliminating notify colli-
sions (glare condition). To achieve a dedicated notify,
set the
n_ochan parameter in the System Configuration
Options file to 1 instead of 0.
default values The values of parameters, variables, and user settings in
Amanda when the system is first installed. The installer,
the system administrator, or the user can change the de-
fault values using the keyboard (or DTMF from the tele-
phone).
defaults box Mailbox 997 is set up with reasonable default values for
each Mailbox field. When creating a new mailbox,
Amanda accesses the defaults box for basic mailbox set-
tings. If you want to change the defaults, modify mail-
box 997 and Save.
dial codes A set of codes that enable Amanda and the telephone
switching system to communicate. These are set using
Setup option 1 or by editing the ASCII file C:\AMAN-
DA\PBX.DB\1001.PBX.
direct call Dialing Amanda internally by calling one of her ports
from an extension within the telephone switching sys-
tem.
