The Dialer provides easy access (regular dialling patterns) to the local telephone office and to
Long Distance Carriers. The purpose of the Dialer is to set up a call similar to the normal
dialled call. The Dialer can add the Carrier access number and the Personal Identification
Number (PIN) as required for call completion. You can program the Dialer to access a number
based on regular dialling patterns or use abbreviated dialling for rapid access. You can also
program the unit to route or restrict calls based on digits dialled by the user.
In addition, the Dialer allows you to tailor its telephone line parameters for both the
subscriber’s telephone equipment and the exchange line. This versatility allows you to satisfy
most situations or user requirements.
1. 5. Programming Devices
The EuroRoute Dialer may be programmed from any of the following devices:
•
MF4 Telephone
• modem
• terminal or a computer using communications software to simulate a terminal.
1. 6. Cost Centre Code Verification
The Dialer can be programmed to request a Cost Centre Code before allowing a call (refer to
Chapter 14 on page 90). The Cost Centre Codes can be assigned to each individual person in
an office, using the telephone lines connected to the Dialer. The codes can vary in type,
according to the route parameters programmed by the maintainer.
In addition, the Cost Centre Codes can appear on Call Information Log (CIL) data that is
output from the Dialer through its serial port. These records can be used for billing
information, call cost analysis or traffic patterns.
1. 7. Chaining
This feature allows multiple Dialers to be “chained” through their serial port via cabling. This
feature provides two distinct functions:
• The units which are chained together via their serial ports may be addressed remotely or
locally with MF4 instruments which can access any Dialer in a chain, through any line. The
units can also be accessed remotely with a modem. Any combination of units within the
chain may be programmed with MF4 signals. Recommended methods of access are by
using an MF4 instrument or a “Tandem” access from a remote location.
• A serial printing device can be connected in series with the chain by means of an optional
cable, ordered separately. This connection provides a means by which the collection of call
records from chained units can be output to one serial printing device without the need for
a data concentrator or multiplexer. The call detail records of the chained units are output
one at a time to the serial device. Programming from this device through the optional
printer chaining cable is not supported. For further information, refer to Chapter 15 on
page 96.
Contact your local authorised Mitel Distributor for chaining cables or optional printer cables.
