CHAPTER 5. ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS—VOICE TERMINAL
How to Administer Voice Terminals
Voice terminal administration is an integrated set of procedures that allow the user to add,
change, remove, duplicate, display, and list the translation data associated with voice terminals.
The voice terminal must be installed, connected, and initialized in system translations before the
user can make a call. Other screen forms may be filled out to assign a voice terminal in a feature
operation, such as call pickup, call coverage, etc.
The following are the classes of operations in voice terminal administration:
● Adding a voice terminal refers to entering the translation data needed to originate and/or
terminate calls at a terminal and to provide button access to features and functions.
● Changing a voice terminal refers to updating the translation data associated with an
existing terminal.
● Removing a voice terminal refers to deleting all the translation data of an existing termi-
nal from the system.
● Displaying a voice terminal refers to displaying the screen form for a voice terminal.
● Duplicating a voice terminal refers to adding a voice terminal which has the same confi-
guration as an existing voice terminal.
● Listing allows the user to obtain a list of all, or a selected range of, voice terminals in the
system. The user can also obtain a list of all groups in which the voice terminal is a
member.
● List extension type allows the user to identify a specific extension, or examine a range
of extensions. This command is also used to identify what types of groups the extension
belongs to and to list extension numbers and their types in a given range to help locate
and examine voice terminals.
● Enhanced Terminal Administration allows for the administration of new voice terminals
that are not supported by the system software. For any new voice terminal type, the
Enhanced Terminal Administration feature allows new terminals to be “mapped” to an
existing or supported type. The mapping is accomplished by using the Alias Station
screen form. The alias name of the station can then be used when administering sta-
tions of that type.
Each voice terminal has its own screen form. The form contains fields for every data entry appli-
cable to the terminal. Validity checks assure accurate data entry and consistency between fields.
Error messages are displayed whenever invalid data is detected. If an error message appears,
the HELP function provides a list of permissible entries for any field.
