OptiCall™ Command Line Parameters
This section describes the new features for the automated execution use of
OptiCall™ from scripts. For more detailed explanation of the functionality of
the command line parameters, refer to page 46 in Section 4.2.3 in the
OPERA User Manual Version 3.0.
Note:
The command line parameters described in this section
correspond with the OptiCall™ application but not with
OptiConf™. Please remind that you have to configure the
E1/T1 interface board using the OptiConf™ dialog before
using the automated execution option.
Three new parameters have been added to the automated execution which
are listed in Table 5.1. The
Mirror
parameter defines that the terminating
interface index is the originating interface index + an offset. That is that in
the case of an E1 CAS protocol with 30 B-channels an offset value of 30
would be useful, for instance. In that case, you are able to mirror the B-
channel #0 of trunk #0 to the B-channel #0 of trunk #1. By doing so, you
may simply omit the parameter definition for the terminating line.
The
Repetitions
parameter defines how often a specified call shall be
repeated.
When using the
Bulk
parameter with a parameter value of
n
, calls will be
automatically performed on
n
consecutive lines starting from the defined line
for the originating and the terminating line, respectively. For example, if you
have defined a call with OriginatingLine=4 and TerminatingLine=10, and
Bulk=2, the following calls will be performed: from line 4 to 10, from line 5
to 11 and from line 6 to 12.

Note:
These parameter options are applicable to POTS and audio
