Busying out ports on the MAS
Prerequisites
On the PBX, the PBX administrator must busy out the ports used by the MAS. Depending
on the switch integration, the administrator might be able to temporarily reroute calls to other
MASs. If an MAS is unavailable, callers into the system might hear ring-no answer or a busy
signal.
Use the Port Monitor to disable the MAS ports on the MAS.
1. Click Start > Programs > Avaya Modular Messaging > Port Monitor .
2. In the Port Monitor window, hold down the Shift key or Ctrl (Control) key and click
to select all the ports.
3. Right-click the port list and select Disable .
4. Verify that the status of all ports is Disabled.
5. Close the Port Monitor window.
Recording Dialogic Settings
Before you shut down the server, record the settings for each Dialogic board in the MAS. You
must verify these settings after you replace a board or install a new one.
1. On the MAS, click Start > Programs > Intel Dialogic System Release >
Configuration Manager — DCM .
2. In the Intel Dialogic Product Configuration Manager — Properties window, click the
indicated tab to display the properties that are appropriate to the type of board.
