Administration Without Hardware also supports the ability to store station
templates (models). These templates can later be used with the “duplicate station”
command to implement many station forms of the same type in the system.
Administration Without Hardware can be used to streamline system initializations,
major additions, and rearrangement/changes by allowing telephone translations
to be entered before the actual ports are assigned.
Administration Without Hardware can be used on the following equipment:
■ Analog telephones
■ Digital Communications Protocol telephones
■ Hybrid telephones
■ Attendant consoles
■ Voice/computers (such as Digital Communications Protocol terminals with
voice and data capabilities)
■ Data modules
■ ISDN-BRI telephones and computers
■ Analog queue warning ports
■ Recorded announcement ports.
Terminal Translation Initialization
Terminal translation initialization (TTI) is a feature that works with Administration
Without Hardware. Terminal translation initialization associates the terminal
translation data with a specific port location through the entry of a special feature
access code, a terminal translation initialization security code, and an extension
number from a terminal that is connected to a wired, but untranslated jack.
Once a terminal is connected to an appropriate jack, the terminal user can dial the
appropriate codes followed by a pretranslated extension number of an
Administration Without Hardware terminal. The system will complete the
administration of the terminal by associating the translation data with the port
location and performing appropriate checks.
Terminal translation initialization reduces the labor associated with system
initializations, major additions, rearrangement and changes, and building wiring.
Translation data entry can be performed without knowledge of the physical layout
of circuit packs. End-users can move their own station equipment if a building is
wired to support it, thereby reducing costs for station moves. Individual lines need
only be wired to the correct type of port, rather than to a specific port.
Administrators maintain control over the use of terminal translation initialization
through the use of security codes. By activating and deactivating security codes,
administrators can control who uses terminal translation initialization — and when.
