Preparing the Cisco CallManager and Octel Systems
Configuring the Octel Systems
Configuring the Octel Systems
You should not need to make any changes to your Octel system. However, you
should verify your configuration and obtain information from the Octel system to
properly set up the DPA 7630/7610. This information should already be
configured if you previously used Octel and Definity or Meridian 1 systems
together.
Setting Dialing Sequence for Message Waiting Indicator
On Definity and Octel systems, you must set the dialing sequence that is used to
enable and disable the MWI on phones connected to the Definity system. After
you configure this setting on the Definity and Octel systems, record the setting.
You need it when you configure the DPA 7630. Meridian 1 PBX systems set MWI
differently so you do not need to set this for the DPA 7610.
Determining Incoming Call Mode
The Octel system has two methods of receiving incoming calls on a Meridian 1
system, using Hunt or Automatic Call Distribution (ACD). The Hunt method
involves groups of forwarded phones, which is similar to the method used in
Cisco CallManager. However, the Meridian 1 system has a restriction on the
number of hops in a forwarding chain (similar to the ForwardMaxHopCount
setting in Cisco CallManager). This setting is fixed between 18 and 30 hops
(depending on the PBX version), and you cannot modify it. This restriction limits
both the number of phones available to the hunt group and the number of Octel
ports that can be part of the group.
To avoid this restriction, you can use ACD groups, which can be much larger than
the hunt groups.
Regardless of the method you use, you must verify the method in use so you can
set the proper setting on the DPA 7610. To quickly verify this method, on the
Meridian 1 system, check the configuration of key 0 on the phones connected to
the Octel system:
•
If key 0 is defined to be an ACD key, then Octel is in ACD mode.
•
If key 0 is defined to be an SCR or SCN key, then Octel is in Hunt mode.
