Administering station parameters

Last Updated : Jul 20, 2020 |

Procedure

  1. At the Branch Gateway command prompt, enter station <extension> <class> to enter a second-level sub-context to administer each phone that you want covered by SLS.

    In this command, <extension> is a 1 to 16 digit numeric string that may begin with 0, and class <class> is analog, dcp, or ip.

    For example, station 1234567 ip administers an IP phone with the extension 1234567.

    The command line prompt changes to sls-station <extension> to indicate that you are in the station context for SLS administration. Entering exit ends the station configuration mode, and the command line prompt returns to its original state. If you want to remove the station from the SLS administration, enter clear station <extension> at the command line interface. Enter exit to leave the second-level station context to return to the (super-sls)# context.

  2. Depending on the class (analog, dcp, or ip, set in Step 1), enter set type <model>, where <model>is a value from Class values in SLS station context.

    For example, set type ip4620 sets the previously-administered extension 1234567 as an Avaya 4620 IP phone.

  3. For analog and dcp classes only (set in Step 1), enter set port <module-port> for this station, where <module-port> is a value in Module-port values in SLS station configuration mode.
    Note:

    This command is required only for stations that support physical media module ports.

    If the class is ip (set in Step 1), you cannot run this command.

    You cannot select these modules or ports if they are already assigned as DID trunks.

    Examples:

    • If an MM711 is inserted into slot V3 and an analog station is to be administered for port #5, then set port v305 sets the previously-administered analog station 1234567 to the fifth physical analog station port on the Branch Gateway’s media module.

    • If an MM712 is inserted into slot V2 and a DCP station is to be administered for port #1, then set port v201 sets the previously-administered dcp station 1234567 to the first physical DCP station port on the Branch Gateway’s media module.

  4. Enter set cor <cor type> to set the class of restriction (COR) for this extension, where <cor type> is one of the following:
    • emergency

    • internal (default)

    • local

    • toll

    • unrestricted

    There exists a hierarchical relationship among the calling-restriction categories. As you move from the most restricted COR (emergency) to the least restricted (unrestricted), each level increases the range of dialing abilities. For example, toll includes the dialing privileges of local, internal, and emergency.

    For example, set cor unrestricted gives a station unrestricted dialing.

  5. If this station is administered to be included into a pool of stations that are allowed to receive incoming analog loop-start trunk calls, enter set trunk-destination yes.
  6. If this is an IP phone (set in Step 1), enter set password <password>, where <password> is from four to eight digits in length, to administer a password.

    For example, set password 53136 establishes the password 53136 on a previously-administered IP phone.

    The phone automatically registers to the Branch Gateway upon failure if the password and the extension number are the same as those administered in CM.

    Note:

    Passwords are not required for analog or DCP phones unless an IP Softphone is using the administrative identity of a DCP phone, in which case the password is required.

  7. To enable DCP or IP phones (set in Step 1) to have an expansion module, enter set expansion-module yes.
  8. For analog phones (set in Step 1) that you want SLS to recognize the switchhook flash signal (that offers subsequent transfer features), enter set swhook-flash yes.
  9. Enter set name <name> to identify the user name for the station.

    Use the 1 to 27 character name as specified on CM. Type the name string inside double quotes.

  10. Enter show to check the station administration of the station being programmed.

    The report lists the station parameters. For example:

    Extension   Type     Port   Cor   Trunk-Des   Exp-Mod     Flash     Password
    ---------   ----     ----   ----- ---------   -------     -------   --------
    49139       ip4620   IPaddr local y           n           -         ********
                ip station registered at address ‘aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd’
    Note:

    For currently-registered IP phones or IP Softphones, the IP address displays.

  11. Enter exit to leave the station context in SLS.
