User's Manual

you must specify *SENT, to prevent alarms that do not receive a *RESET from remaining active
in the system.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: *SENT
ALA_Prty_n
This field specifies the priority of an alarm. A low value indicates an important alarm, a high
value a less important alarm. Avaya recommends that you exercise caution when assigning
priorities to alarms. For some output devices, high-important alarms are shown first and low-
priority alarms are shown last.
Other output programs (such as eSMTP and eASYNC) allow you to automatically confirm
arrival of messages when distributed, while others require confirmation procedures based
upon a call back procedure (using CLID on eCSTA of DTMF pincode on eVBVOICE).
Avaya recommends that you begin by assigning all alarms to default priority 5 (for authorized,
nurse calls, and so on) and assigning more important alarms to a lower value (1 for MUG, 2
for REA, 3 for ASS, and so on) and less important alarms to a higher value (6 for SAN, and so
on). In most cases, alarm priorities are subject to discussion with those in authority on-site.

ALA_to_ringing_n
This field specifies the number of seconds a peripheral is kept in ringing state before taking
further action. This parameter is ignored for most peripherals.
Currently this value impacts only the “eCSTA” module for voice-call based user-to-user
messaging. The value determines the allotted time for a destination party to answer the phone
(which is currently required before the first user-to-user messages can be sent to the
extension). Avaya recommends a value between 10 and 20 seconds.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 20
ALA_to_Connect_n
This field specifies the number of seconds a peripheral is kept in connect state before taking
further action. This parameter is ignored for all peripherals and is provided for backwards
compatibility issues.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 10
