1.0 METHOD OF INTEGRATION

With RS232 integration, call information is transmitted over a digital RS232 link
With RS232 integration, call between the PBX and the Avaya Message Application Server (MAS). Voice
information is transmitted over a communications are provided over separate analog lines on the PBX that connect
digital RS232 link between the to the MAS. When an incoming call is received, it is accompanied by a digital
PBX and the Avaya Message message from the PBX containing call information. The MAS then answers the
Application Server call and plays the appropriate greeting. The RS232 link also handles on & off
message waiting indication.

0 X 9600 Y YES EVEN YES YES

Where X=ICU card slot number and Y=the number of digits in the extension

5.1 CONFIGURING THE VOICE LINES
connected to the MAS
Configure the ELU24 channels as follows:
CAT = 1
TYPE = EL6
Configure the Voice Mail channels for all Class of Service features.
Configure the hunt group using the GHDAP command. Assign the hunt
group pilot number and set queue to 0.
Configure the call diversion (call forward) target as the hunt group pilot
number using the CDIDP command. The subscriber can then control call
diversion (forwarding) from their phone.
Application system parameter 56 defines how the phones will
transmit DTMF tones. Set to 15 will allow the digital sets to send
DTMF tones always. Set to 9 will require the subscriber to press 9, or
press ETE button, to activate tone sending. Avaya Inc. recommends
setting this parameter to 15.

Please refer to the Consideration section at the end of this document for
special PBX programming considerations.

6.0 CONFIGURING THE MESSAGE APPLICATION SERVER

Configuring the Message
Application Server Configuring the MAS platform for proper PBX integration requires
configuring several folders accessed within the Voice Mail System
Configuration application.
Access the Voice Mail System Configuration application from the MAS
program group.
Access the Voice Mail Domain, and then select:
PBXs Ericsson MD-110
Access the General tab and set the following values:
Go Off Hook when Port Disabled = Enable by checking the box
Pause before Digits = 500
Pause Interval for Comma in Dial String (ms) = 2000
DTMF Inter-Digit Delay during Dialing (ms) = 80
DTMF Length during Dialing = 800
DTMF Length during Detection = 50
Access the Call Transfer tab and set the following values:
Transfer Mode = Blind
Transfer Prefix Code = &,XN
Transfer Completion Code = Leave Blank
Transfer Release Code when Busy = &&
Transfer Release Code when No Answer = &&
Transfer Release Code when Reject = &,,
Flash Time Interval (ms) = 100
Enable Call Progress = Enable by checking the box
Start Delay for Call Progress (ms) = 1000
Access the Hangup Detection tab and set the following values:
Maximum Continuous Tone before Hanging Up (ms) = 6000
Hangup String = Leave Blank
Hangup String Timeout (ms) = 0
Minimum Duration For Drop in Loop Current = 300
Maximum Silence before Hanging Up (ms) = 6000
Return to the Voice Mail System Configuration window, and select
Voice Servers and access Telephony Interface (Dialogic Analog)
Select the Dialogic Analog tab to configure the selected port(s) on your
Voice Server as follows:

The above information is provided by AVAYA Inc. as a guideline. See disclaimer on page 1
 ERICSSON MD-110 (RS-232) 5

Playback Volume = 2 (Default)

Number of Ports = Enter the number of ports in your system
Note: The MAS service must be restarted to allow port enabling
Enable the port(s) by checking the Box field next to the Port field
Extension = Enter the port number in the field, i.e. 1 for the first
port, 2 for the second port, etc.
Incoming Ring Count = 1
Primary ID = Enter the port number again, i.e. 1 for first port, 2 for
port second port, etc.
Secondary ID = Leave Blank

Return to the Voice Servers section and access PBX Integration.

Access the General folder. Select Serial as the Integration Type.
Max Time to Wait for Serial and Remote Integration Data (sec) = 6
Access the Serial General tab and set the following values:
For multiple MAS servers, refer Packet Format = Ericsson MD-110
to Consideration 8.3 Extension Field Length in Packet = Number of digits in
extension
Maximum Number of Remote Service Sessions = 0
Log Serial Packets = Enable by checking the box

Access the Serial NEC/Ericsson/DMID/ tab and set the following values:

Filler Character = x (Space or Zero)

Port Field Length = x (usually 2)
Tenant Number = x (usually 01)
First Port Number = x (1 or 01, depends on the PBX program)
Reminder: Verify value of x in switch.

Note: Message Waiting (MWI) needs to be configured on the switch to

accept the Filler character Space or Zero. If this is not possible
then set the following registry value on the MAS to remove Filler
characters for Message Waiting only, set the following registry
value to 0:
\\HKLM\Software\Octel\Geneva\Vis_IntegrationServiceMgr\MWI_MD110_FORMAT_WITH_SPACE

Access the Serial Settings button from the Serial General tab and set:
Line Speed (Bits per Second) = 9600
Data Bits = 7
Stop Bits = 1
Parity = Even

 ERICSSON MD-110 (RS-232) 6

Flow Control = None

Connector = COM1
Note: Verify these values within switch.
After making these changes, stop and restart the MAS.
Refer to Configuring the voicemail system within the Message
Application Server Installation Guide. Ensure you are prompted to restart
the Message Application Server services to apply these changes.

7.0 INSTALLING THE INTEGRATION LINK

Connect the data link cable to the COM1 serial port on the MAS. The DB25
RS-232 connector plugs into the Ericsson-provided RS232 cable to the ICU.

8.0 CONSIDERATIONS/ALTERNATIVES
Important notes regarding this 8.1 If a caller dials an invalid extension number from the automated
integration attendant the Ericsson will send an error tone to the MAS and the call
will be falsely connected. The MD-110 will then call back to the MAS
port attempted to transfer the call. For this reason we recommend setting
the system parameter Transfer Invalid Mailboxes to NO.
8.2 Ensure the integration link is not configured for UPDATING. If this
feature is enabled then MWI failures will occur. It will also generate
alarms on the PBX.
8.3 Procedure for adding more than one Message Application Server
(MAS) when using RS-232 integration

The following steps are for MAS 1 only:

1) The first MAS is the only one that will have the RS-232 link from the
PBX connected to COM1
2) MAS 1 will also have the appropriate Serial integration (i.e. Serial
General, NEC/Ericsson) according to the Configuration Note or the PBX
used.
3) Finally, within the Serial integration programming of MAS 1, configure
the Maximum Number of Remote Service Sessions. For example, if
there are 2 additional MAS servers, then the value should be 2.
The following steps are for the additional MAS servers only:
1) The remaining MAS servers will not have any integration link or any
other cabling from the PBX or external devices.

The above information is provided by AVAYA Inc. as a guideline. See disclaimer on page 1
ERICSSON MD-110 (RS-232) 7

2) These MAS servers will have the PBX Integration programmed as

Remote.
3) Next, access the Remote tab from the PBX Integration General page and
configure the 2 fields (Primary Remote Server Name and Secondary
Remote Server Name) with MAS #1s info. You can not get integration
data from any other MAS, so it must be MAS 1 only.

After concluding these steps, save them, and continue with the remaining of
the programming detailed on either the Configuration Note and/or the MM
Installation Guide.

8.4 For external CLI (Caller ID) to work with the Ericsson one of the
following MM patches is required:
Software
MAS Patch or Service Pack required
Release
MM1.1 Patch MAS110803 or newer; or Service Pack 9 (when available)
MM 2.0 Patch MAS200601 or newer; or Service Pack 7 (when available)
MM 3.0 Patch MM300103 or newer; or Service Pack 2 (when available)
