Connection setup

When either Modem or ISDN is selected as the access, you can select between the two con- nection setup options (Callback active or Service call via code).

If no option is selected, this means a direct connection setup (without callback).

Callback active, Index, Suffix dialing

In this mode, the DID number of the IMOD/ELIC is dialed, and a callback password is entered for the subsequent query of the logon password. The system checks this callback password and then allows you to enter the station number to which the callback should occur (provided the password is valid). The PABX releases independently. Then the service call number and the suffix belonging to the callback password are dialed in the communication system.

The communication system can administer up to 6 different callback passwords and their as- sociated Transfer | Callback connection.

Service call via code

This option differs from the usual callback procedure because the start of the callback isn’t initiated by HiPath 3000 Manager itself, but by the selection of a code or via the service menu on the system telephone of the communication system.

For example, if the selected access method and action are ISDN and Read/write database, respectively, and if Service call via code is activated, pressing the System -> PC button will

Transfer

As in the case of a callback, only the destinations set up under Transfer | Callback connection (with the option of manual suffix dialing on-site) can be reached.

The service call is primarily used after the initial startup of a communication system, e.g., when the system data is not known at the remote center.

8.19.1.5 Read/write database, System -> PC, PC -> system option

Read/write database can be used to transfer the CDB from the communication system to the

PC (System -> PC) or to load the active CDB from the PC to the communication systems PC

-> system). Depending on the communication system, this procedure takes between two and

six minutes.

Note that a read is always implemented first in order to have an error-free customer database even if a transmission error should occur.

Load IVM data, System -> PC, PC -> System

If IVM Download is activated (default setting), the IVM data is transferred from the communi- cation system to the PC using the System -> PC button. If IVM Download is deactivated, only the CDB is transferred.

If IVM Upload is activated (default setting), the IVM data is transferred from the PC to the com- munication system using the PC -> System button. If IVM Upload is deactivated, only the CDB is transferred.

Delta mode

Delta mode can only be activated when a CDB that was read from the communication system

is loaded. The option has a gray background when a customer database has been loaded from the hard disk.

When Delta mode is active, only the changes made since the last Read database are written into the communication system. If, for example, only a station name is changed, then the trans- mission time is drastically reduced. In order to determine the delta data, the loaded/active CDB is compared with the lastload.kds file, which is automatically created and stored on the hard disk whenever the CDB is read.

Following every successful delta transmission, a log file is created in which the transmitted data is recorded. A dialog box is displayed to allow you to specify the name of the log file. If no name is explicitly specified for the log file, a log file named delta.log is generated automatically. The Log file contains a paragraph in its header in which the compared customer database names

When the CDB is downloaded from the communication system, it is always assigned the file name lastload.kds. In the process, all changes that were undertaken on the existing lastload.kds file are overwritten. If the existing file should be retained, it must be renamed beforehand (e.g., via Save Customer Database As).

and the creation data are listed. The creation date of the reference customer database is the date on which the customer database is stored on the hard disk. The creation date of the delta customer database is the PC time at which the delta transmission was triggered.

Call charges

Activating the Call charges option causes the contents of a particular memory area (RDI = ReaD or Init) of the communication system to be overwritten by the customer database. This data contains values that can be only read or initialized.

It makes sense to select this field when exchanging the motherboard so that all data can be completely taken over or when resetting the following data:

– Call charges

– Counter for the features activated in the communication system – Station code lock

The following data is also overwritten:

– External call forwarding destinations – activated call forwarding by station – Messages sent (message waiting) – Call forwarding destinations

– Codeword for enabling the mobile telephone – Cordless base station data

Hardware

Activating the Hardware option causes the data of a particular memory area (ROM = Read Only Memory) of the communication system to be overwritten by the customer database. To the greatest possible extent, this data is hardware settings that are not to be changed.

Selecting this field can be useful when replacing the motherboard or when modifying the HW configuration. Once the customer database has been loaded, the communication system im- plements a hard restart which synchronizes port allocation in the system with the customer

If the database was manually stored or was stored by the communication system by means of the automatic store function (see Program options General), it can no long- er be loaded from the PC into the communication system in Delta mode. If you use Delta mode, the changes that you made before you saved will not be transferred. Only the customer database that is currently loaded in the communication system should be transmitted. An older customer database may not be transmitted into the communication system in this manner.
