Voice Processor Disable/Enable
To disable voice processing:
1. Back up the Voice Mail database. You will need a USB flash drive for this operation if
backing up Basic Voice Mail. See “Saving the System and Voice Processor Databases”
on page 5-91.
2. Launch Session Manager and start the DB Programming session.
3. Select the System folder, and then click Voice Processor Enable.
4. Click the Yes value, and then click in the check box to remove the check mark. Click
outside the area to implement the change. Click OK to the prompt that appears. DB
Programming restarts.
The Voice Processor Enable database field is autoenabled by Call Processing. For example, if
the Voice Processor Enable flag is set to No, and the user successfully connects an external
voice processing system or enables Basic Voice Mail, Call Processing will auto-enable the flag.
However, if DB Programming is currently programming the switch, the auto-enable flag will not
get autoenabled.
Saving a Voice Processor Database in Remote Mode
Mitel 5000 platforms support any of the following voice processors: Basic Voice Mail (BVM),
Enterprise Messaging (EM), or a Voice Processing Unit (VPU). And, for proper configuration,
DB Programming requires that the voice processor type is identified. Once the voice processor
is physically connected, the system senses which type it is.
As with previous versions, a voice processor connected to an Mitel 5000 platform auto-enables
when the system boots up. To avoid the risk of overwriting an established database with default
values, Mitel recommends connecting the voice processor first, then connecting with a remote
mode session of DB Programming, and then saving.
To save a voice processor database in remote mode:
1. Connect PS-1, EM, or VPU equipment to the system in accordance with Mitel installation
instructions. Refer to the applicable installation manual.
2. In remote mode, launch Session Manager and start a DB Programming session.
3. From the DB Studio menu bar, select Operations – Database Operations – Database
Save. Identify the location where you want to store the system database, then check the
Save Voice Data to: box and identify the location where you want to save the voice
processor database.
4. Click Start. System and voice processor databases are saved to the locations indicated.
IMPORTANT
In its default state, this flag is turned ON. If you do not have an external voice
processing system connected to the Mitel CS-5200/5400/5600 Base Server,
make sure to turn this flag OFF before attempting to import or export
information over the network.
