System. To create an integrated environment between INTUITY Messaging System and an NEC NEAX 2400 MCI switch, AT&T uses an electronic box called a Switch Integration Device (SID). The SID operates as a protocol converter between the switch and the INTUITY Messaging System, converting NEAX 2400 call information into Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) format and sending the information to the application.
Page 18
Subscribers also use the UCD central number to access the INTUITY Messaging System. Before you connect the NEAX 2400 MCI to the SID and the INTUITY System, confirm that you have all required hardware and software integration components. This chapter provides you with hardware and software diagrams, checklists, and explanations.
Safety Considerations CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge damages electronic equipment. Do not touch any electronic component until you properly ground yourself. To prevent damage to the equipment and yourself, follow these precautions: Familiarize yourself with the procedures necessary to prevent electrostatic damage to equipment. Shut off all power and remove all cables from equipment.
AT&T supplied cable and the NEAX 2400 MCI port adaptor. Use a cable that meets the EIA RS-232 standards, including the 50 feet maximum cable length. Failure to meet EIA communication standards may cause data transmission errors.

From time to time, you may need to purge your error logs. You can purge error logs on the SID if you have authorization to access security level 1 features. Use the following instructions to purge error logs. 1. Press to access the Main Menu.
Clearing Your Configuration When you add voice mail ports or change the switch dial plan, you may need to reconfigure the SID. In most cases, you can accomplish the task by editing the existing setup and restarting the system. If required, the SID provides the capability to restore the factory default settings.
Using Views During Integration The SID provides you with four real-time views of the integration process: SMDI monitor mode MCI monitor mode Statistics mode Metrics mode Each mode shows you different information in a common screen layout. A typical view mode appears as shown in the following example: SMDI MWI: CPID: View modes remain on the screen, constantly changing as calls and message...
SMDI Monitor Mode The first option on the View menu is the SMDI monitor mode. The mode permits you to observe transactions as they occur on the SMDI data link that connects the SID to the INTUITY System. The SMDI monitor is a useful tool that provides condensed, real-time reporting of all transactions on the SMDI data link.
Page 125
When transactions are being processed, the screen updates continuously. The example SMDI view screen above shows a call covered to the pilot number of the UCD group. The following descriptions explain the content of each field. Each type of view screen contains similar fields. CPID The bottom line of the display is reserved for calling party ID packets, or information about the call that the...
Using MCI Monitor Mode The SID provides an MCI data link monitor that allows you to view transactions sent between the switch and the SID. This view is similar in format to the SMDI Monitor. The top line on the display shows message waiting commands and the bottom line shows calling party data.
To clear the data, use the following instructions. 1. Log into security level 1. For instructions on logging in to the security level, refer to Chapter , "NEAX 2400 Switch Administration", in this document. 2. Press at the VIEW action form.
Switch Administration for INTUITY Lodging Introduction Appendix C describes the switch administration you need to complete if you have INTUITY Lodging. Read the information and configure your switch as required. Hunt Group Administration A hunt group is a set of extension numbers assigned to another phone number. When a call is received by this number, a programmed search of the hunt group is made and the call is forwarded to a member of the hunt group that is not busy.
Message Retrieval Administration The message retrieval number is the telephone number that subscribers call to retrieve voice mail messages. Like other calls to the INTUITY system, message retrieval calls are ultimately forwarded to the INTUITY hunt group. Message Retrieval in Lodging Systems without AUDIX Provide the INTUITY system’s message retrieval number to your subscribers.
3. If your switch has password capability, assign a password to the new extension. 4. Assign to the new extension, the service: ldg_ni_vm a. Log on to the INTUITY system as sa or craft. b.

3. Assign to the new extension, the service: ldg_ni_ca as follows: a. Log on to the INTUITY system as sa or craft. b. From the INTUITY Administration menu select the following sequence:. >Voice System Administration Voice Equipment c. From the Voice Equipment screen, press (F3).
Do-Not-Disturb Look for features on your switch that adapt themselves especially well to lodging situations. One example is the Do-not-Disturb feature on some switches. This feature makes it possible to request that a particular extension not receive calls until a specified time. At the specified time, the switch automatically deactivates the feature and allows calls to terminate normally at the extension.
One-Step Cut-to-Service On switches where a coverage path is separately defined and then applied to a class of stations, assign all guest stations to INTUITY Lodging at once. Using this cut-to-service strategy, all guest stations are changed to INTUITY Lodging at the same time. The advantages of this method include: Since INTUITY Lodging is brought up in one step, attendants must cope with only one call-answering system at a time.
