System-Wide Settings
There are some settings that you enable or disable for the entire system, and these settings effect every
user. You may want to look over the various System Parameters screens and decide which settings best
meet the needs of your users.
To see a list of the different types of parameters that control your system, type display
system-parameters
and press
HELP
. You can change some of these parameters yourself. Type change
system-parameters and press
HELP
to see which types of parameters you can change. In some cases, an
Avaya representative is the only person who can make changes, such as to the
System-Parameters
Customer-Options
screen.
This chapter offers a few examples of how you establish these system-wide settings. The
Screen
Reference
contains explanations of each of the system parameters screens, and how to use them.
Changing Feature Parameters
You can modify the system parameters that are associated with some of the system features. For example,
you can use the system parameters to allow music to play if callers are on hold or to allow trunk-to-trunk
transfers on the system.
Generally, Avaya sets your system parameters when your system is installed. However, you can change
these parameters as your organization’s needs change. For example, let us say that you are told that the
number of rings between each point for new coverage paths should change from 4 to 2 rings.
To change the number of rings:
1
Type
change system-parameters coverage/forwarding
and press
ENTER
.
The
System Parameters Call Coverage / Call Forwarding
screen appears.
2
In the
Local Coverage Subsequent Redirection/CFWD No Answer Interval
field, type 2.
3
Press
ENTER
to save your changes.
