Introduction and Requirements for
Integration
1
This chapter describes and defines requirements for the NEC NEAX 2400 MCI
switch integration with an INTUITY Messaging System. The chapter includes
diagrams and checklists that show the configuration for INTUITY Messaging
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. The SID does not restrict any switch features.
For the SID to perform integrated call transactions, the switch must contain a
Message Center Interface (MCI) link. The MCI link provides an RS-232
connection between the NEAX 2400 and the SID. The NEAX 2400 sends call
information to the SID through the MCI link.
All channels reserved for the INTUITY Messaging System must be administered
in a Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) group. The first channel in the UCD serves
as the forwarding or central number for INTUITY Messaging System subscribers.
After administering the switch, all covered and forwarded calls transfer to the first
channel or central number of the UCD group. If the first channel is busy, the
system searches through the other members of the UCD group until the system
the hunting process.

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. Use the information to confirm that you have all
required integration components.

Safety Considerations
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.
Properly ground a work mat and wrist strap.
Place the equipment on the work mat.
Place the grounded wrist strap on your bare wrist. The wrist strap must
contact your bare skin directly. Do not wear the wrist strap over your
clothes.
Factory Assembled Systems
The factory performs assembly, load, and test (ALT) processes for most of the
INTUITY hardware and software before shipping the system to the site. Use the
information in this chapter to confirm that the system contains the hardware and
software for your configuration.
After checking the installed hardware and software, perform all tasks not
completed during ALT, such as connecting the voice and data lines, setting up
and cabling the peripherals, and installing the switch communications software.
Use one of the following checklists to make sure you complete all necessary
tasks:

INTUITY MAP/100 Installation Checklist, 585-310-141
Issue 2 December 1995 1-3
Introduction and Requirements for Integration
Determining the Placement of the SID
The Switch Integration Device (SID) and the MAP/5, MAP/40, or MAP/100
represent local devices. Place the SID and the MAP in the same area and close
enough together so the RS-232 cable supplied with the SID can connect to the
computer. During installation, the AT&T technician will place the SID and the
MAP in the location specified by the customer.
For the link between the MCI port and the INTUITY System, AT&T uses an
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) RS-232-C serial data electrical interface.
AT&T supplies an EIA standard RS-232 cable with a 25-pin connector. You
cannot directly connect the cable to the switch. The MCI port on the backplane of
the switch has a 25-pair connector. AT&T supplies the 25-pair to 25-pin adaptor
required to connect the RS-232 cable to the backplane of the switch. The
customer or the switch vendor representative must connect the adaptor to the
switch. AT&T assumes responsibility only for the RS-232 cable that connects to
the SID.
If the distance from the switch to the SID is longer than the RS-232 cable
reaches, you, the customer, must supply a cable that attaches between the 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. If you
cannot reach the switch with the 50 feet maximum cable length, you, the
customer, must determine and engineer a method of connecting the SID and the
switch, such as using a limited-distance modem. AT&T does not recommend any
particular methods.

following administration on the NEAX 2400.
■
Program the PA-16LCQ analog ports to provide an adequate loop current
disconnect, or wink. The PA-16LCQ card provides a default value of
approximately 128ms wink. The wink can be increased to approximately
448ms with a firmware upgrade from NEC. Without the upgrade and the
increase, two items occur:
— Call holding times increase substantially because the default
disconnect time is lower than the minimum time required by the
INTUITY System.
— Call answer messages end with a reorder tone of approximately
one second.
■
■
Set the recall timer on the NEAX switch to an amount of time longer than
the ring-no-answer time. If you do not, calls blind transferred to
subscribers administered for forward on ring-no-answer recall back to the
INTUITY System channel.
Administer the INTUITY System to transfer calls to a station other than an
actual attendant console, for example a digital telephone capable of
displaying calling party information. The NEAX 2400 switch does not allow
stations to transfer calls to an attendant console.

Before you implement the NEC NEAX 2400 Message Center Interface (MCI)
integration with an INTUITY System, you must plan the process. This chapter
provides worksheets and information to help you plan and record the integration.
You use the worksheets later to complete the switch integration process.
By completing the worksheets you collect the following information:

Switch Integration Planning
Determining the Number of Voice
Mail Ports
You must specify the number of voice mail ports for the Switch Integration Device
(SID) to support and monitor.
The number of ports for the SID is the same as the number of ports assigned to
the INTUITY System. The maximum number of supported lines depends on the
switch software level. Your switch software must support the UCD overflow
feature. The SID assigns a default value of 140 to this field. To find the number of
voice ports assigned on the INTUITY System, refer to INTUITY New System
Planning, 585-310-603. After you determine the number of voice mail ports you
need to assign on the SID, write the number on line 1 of Worksheet A.

Setting the Message Desk Number
The Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) message desk number must
match the number assigned on the voice mail system. For an INTUITY System,
use the default value assigned to the SID. The default value is 001. Line 2 of
Worksheet A already contains the value 001 as the message desk number.
3-2 Issue 2 December 1995
Setting the Calling Party Identification Pad String
Setting the Calling Party Identification
Pad String
The Message Center Interface (MCI) protocol, used by the NEAX 2400 switch to
communicate with the SID, provides calling and called party information
consistent with the dial plan administered on the switch. The SID operates on
Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) protocol which uses a seven-digit
field. To compensate for the difference between the MCI and SMDI protocols, the
SID uses a seven-digit string, called the Calling Party Identification Pad (CPID)
string, that the SID overwrites with caller identification information. The SID
assigns the field a default value of 0000000. For an INTUITY System, use the
0000000 as the CPID pad string.
Example: If you set the CPID pad string to 0000000 and the SID receives a caller
ID of 245, the SMDI caller ID information becomes 0000245.
Setting the Message Waiting Indicator
Pad String
The Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) Pad String operates on the same basis as
the CPID Pad String. As with the CPID Pad String, the SID uses a seven-digit
string, called the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) pad string, that informs the
SID about the format of MWI information generated by an INTUITY System. The
SID uses the MWI pad string to strip off digits not required by MCI. The SID
assigns a default MWI pad string of 0000000. For an INTUITY System, use the
value 0000000 as the MWI pad string.
Setting the Message Waiting Indicator
Feature
The MWI feature enables the INTUITY System to activate message waiting
lamps. The SID sets the default value for this field to ENABLE, which activates the
MWI feature. If you do not want the INTUITY System to activate the MWIs, change
the field to DISABLE. Write the value on line 5 of Worksheet A.
Determining the Message Center
Interface Baud Rate
You must set the baud rate for the MCI link. The SID provides baud rate
selections of 300, 1200, 2400, and 9600 baud and sets a default of 1200 baud.
Make sure that the baud rate equals the dip switch settings on the MCI link
to use the default setting, write 1200 on the worksheet.
Issue 2 December 1995 3-3
Switch Integration Planning
Determining the SMDI Baud Rate
You must set the baud rate for the Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI)
link. The SID provides baud rate selections of 300, 1200, 2400, and 9600 baud
and sets a default of 1200 baud. AT&T recommends that you use a baud rate of
2400. Write the SMDI link baud rate on line 7 of Worksheet A.
Determining the Extension/Logical
Terminal Number Plan
On the INTUITY System, you assign a channel to each extension to allow for
switch communications. For the SID application, you associate a Logical
Terminal Number (LTN) with each analog extension number used by the INTUITY
System.
For example, if you assign channel 0 to extension 2222 on the INTUITY System,
you assign LTN 1 (0001) to the extension on the SID. Assigning the LTN to an
extension tells the SID where to send information for the extension. If you do not
assign the LTNs, the SID does not integrate calls properly.
NOTE:
The INTUITY System uses 0 as the first channel number assigned to an
extension. The SID assigns 1 as the first LTN assigned to an extension. As
you assign channels and LTNs, the number is always one greater than the
number assigned on the INTUITY System.
To assign LTNs and extensions on the SID, refer to the planning document or
have your switch administrator list the extensions of all the analog ports assigned
channels, and extensions. After you complete all of the worksheets, proceed to

NEAX 2400 Switch Administration
Assign Voice Mail Extensions to a
UCD Group
After administering the analog voice mail ports, you must assign the ports to a
Uniformed Call Distribution (UCD) group or switch group. The first extension of a
UCD group becomes the forwarding target number for the group. When a
subscriber calls INTUITY System, they dial the target number of the UCD group.
If the target number is busy, the system hunts or moves through the other
members of the UCD group until the system finds an open channel and
completes the call.
The examples in the previous section assigned extensions 500, 501, 502, and
503 to the analog voice mail ports. 500 was assigned as the first port extension
and is the target number.
The NEAX 2400 supports up to seven UCD groups with twenty members in each
group. The UCD groups do not automatically transfer calls to each other. To
connect the groups, you must use the UCD Overflow feature. Using UCD
Overflow, calls flow to the next UCD group if all members of the first UCD group
are busy. To support more than 24 ports on the INTUITY System, use UCD
for UCD Overflow groups setup instructions.
Use the following instructions to assign voice mail port extensions to a UCD
group.

Setting Up a UCD Overflow Group
On the NEAX 2400 switch, you can create a maximum of 7 UCD groups with 20
station extensions in each UCD group. If all the extensions in a UCD group are
busy, calls do not automatically transfer to the next group. You must use the
UCD Overflow feature to link the groups together. By using the UCD Overflow
feature, an incoming call transfers from a busy UCD group to another UCD
group. If you plan to use an INTUITY System with more than 24 ports, you must
use the UCD overflow feature.
NOTE:
The NEAX 2400 switch must have software version 4200 or greater to
support UCD overflow. If the switch does not contain software version
4200 or greater, the SID only supports 20 voice mail extensions, the
maximum allowed in one UCD group.
Use the following instructions to administer UCD Overflow.

Assign Extensions and LTNs
As you assign extensions and LTNs, you associate an LTN (Centrex LTN) with
each analog extension number used by an INTUITY System. For each extension,
you must assign the same LTN to the extension as the INTUITY System assigns
to the extension. If you do not assign the same LTN, the SID does not integrate
calls properly. Read the section on the AutoFill feature before you assign
extensions and LTNs.
Use the following instructions to assign extensions and LTNs.

If you use consecutive extension numbers, numbers that increase by one, the
SID provides an AutoFill feature that automates the entry process. Using AutoFill,
you enter the first extension number on the first VM PORT form. As you move to
the next VM PORT form, AutoFill adds one to the extension you entered and
places the number in the Extension field.
Example: At the first VM PORT form for a four port configuration, you enter 210 in
the Extension field. After selecting AutoFill, you move to the next VM PORT form.
The SID adds one to the extension and places 211 in the Extension field. On the
next form, the SID places 212 in the field and 213 in the extension number field
on the fourth (last) form.
Issue 2 December 1995 8-5
Switch Integration Device Administration
Follow the instructions on the next page to use the AutoFill feature.

4. Press
to activate the AutoFill option. The SID now uses the number you
entered in the first extension field as the base number, adds one to the
number for each form, and places the new number in the extension fields
of the remaining forms. In the example, 210 was used as the first
extension number. AutoFill automatically places the extension numbers
211, 212, and 213 into the second, third and fourth forms and returns you
to the VM PORT form.
If only part of your extensions are numbered consecutively, you can still use the
AutoFill feature.
Example: You have a 12 port system. The five extension numbers from 100 to
104 are consecutive. After extension 104, your extensions skip to 200 and
continue consecutively to 206. To use the AutoFill feature, follow the regular
Autofill instructions for numbers 100 to 104. When you reach the form that
contains extension 105, move the cursor to the Extension field. Enter 200 in the
field and turn on AutoFill again. The SID places extensions 201 to 206 in the
remaining 6 edit forms.
You also can use AutoFill for LTN data. If you need to start your LTNs at 0010, for
example, enter 0010 into the first form. Turn on AutoFill. AutoFill enters 0011 and
up in the LTN fields of the remaining forms.

Special Processing for Message Waiting Lamps
Special Processing for Message
Waiting Lamps
NOTE:
The instructions in this section only can be performed by trained AT&T
software specialists.
The SID can buffer up to 4000 individual message waiting transactions and wait
for small intervals of time to perform the transactions. Incoming calls receive a
higher priority. If you use the Metrics View and discover that the SID is holding
large numbers of MWL transactions you can perform one of the following actions.
■
You can alter the MWL Interleave Factor. By decreasing the MWL
Interleave Factor, the speed of transactions out of the queue increases,
but call processing speed decreases. See the documentation supplied
with your switch for more information.
■
You can use the SID’s enhanced MWL processing. Continue with the
instructions in this section to use the enhanced MWL processing.
On a very active voice mail system, a subscriber can receive multiple messages
in a very short period of time. Each message turns on the MWL which quickly
increases the size of the buffer. Enhanced MWL handling insures that only a
single entry in the MWL queue is used for a specific subscriber, which reduces
the queue loading.
For example, an INTUITY System receives three MWL requests in rapid
succession. The first turns on John Smith’s lamp, the second turns off J. Doe’s
lamp, and the third turns on John Smith’s lamp. Each is a valid request and each
is queued for processing. John Smith’s lamp does not need to be lit twice,
however.
Enhanced MWL processing defaults to disabled and the SID queues and
processes all MWL requests in sequence. In the example above, all three
requests would be processed and John Smith’s lamp would be lit twice in quick
succession.
If you enable enhanced MWL processing, the MWL command for John Smith is
sent to the queue as a normal request. Any future requests for John Smith
overwrite the first, insuring that John’s lamp is only turned on once and set to the
state that the voice messaging system expects at the time of the operation. When
enhanced MWL processing is activated, the number of requests made by the
INTUITY System can be considerably larger than the actual number of
transactions undertaken by the SID.
Use the instructions on the next page to enable the enhanced MWL processing
feature.

Setting a Security Level
The various features and functions of the SID are available only at specific
security levels. The list below shows each security level and the options available
to that level.
■
Access Level 0 — The lowest security level. The only options available to
level 0 are the ability to view integration activities, change the contrast on
the LCD display, see the software version level, and log in to other access
levels. The SID normally operates at level 0 and you do not need a
password to access level 0.
■
■
Access Level 1 — The second security level. Level 1 allows you to access
all level 0 features and all of the tools needed to administer the system.
The password for this level is the last five digits of your serial number.
Access Level 2 — The highest level of security. Level 2 allows you to
access all level 0 and level 1 features and several special diagnostic tools
available only to trained personnel. Only AT&T authorized personnel can
access this level, either on-site or remotely, to perform testing and
diagnostics on the SID. The password for this level is only given to
authorized personnel.

perform acceptance tests for the Intuity system.
Issue 2 December 1995 9-1
Acceptance Tests
As explained in INTUITY New System Planning, 585-310-603, two test
subscribers should have been administered on the switch for acceptance tests.
Acceptance tests begin after you complete initial administration and administer
two test subscribers on the INTUITY System. This chapter explains how to
administer two test subscribers on the NEAX 2400 MCI switch for performing
acceptance tests. If you have another type of switch, refer to the documentation
provided with that switch or the switch integration package for more information.
NOTE:
The MCI link controls the message waiting indication. Four- and
eight-button Dterm telephones have a message waiting lamp. On a
16-button Dterm telephone, you see VMMon the display to tell you that you
have voice mail. Analog (2500) sets require neon lamps and the switch
must have an auxiliary 90V power supply to operate the lamps.
Continue with the procedures in this chapter to administer the switch for
acceptance tests. Before you proceed, though, select two test extensions to use
for acceptance tests. Use the test subscribers listed in Intuiy New System
Planning, 585-310-603.
Administer the Test Subscribers
By forwarding a subscriber extension to the main extension of the Uniformed
Caller Distribution (UCD) group, the switch sends call information over the MCI
link to the SID. The SID converts and sends the information to the INTUITY
System. A call forwarded from the switch to the application is called an
integrated call. You can set the following call forwarding conditions:
■
■
■
Forward subscribers for ring-no-answer
Forward subscribers for busy conditions
Forward subscribers for all calls
For acceptance tests, activate all three conditions.
Task 1: Forward Calls for Ring-No-Answ er
Ring-No-Answer (RNA) refers to an unanswered call. After a specific length of
time, set on the switch, without the call being answered, the call transfers to the
UCD group assigned to the INTUITY System.
NOTE:
The test subscriber’s service feature class must contain call forward RNA
SFI=8. Dterm sets may have a function key for forward on busy (FKY=22).
For a station transferred blindly to a ring-no-answer station, the recall timer

Do not perform any tasks in this chapter until you complete the necessary cut-to-
service tasks in the Cut-to-Service chapter of INTUITY System Software
Installation, 585-310-140. The installation document explains when you must use
the instructions in this chapter. If you have not performed the tasks in the
installation document, complete the tasks now.
This chapter explains how to administer the switch for the INTUITY system cut-to-
service process. Cutting over an INTUITY system requires you to change the
coverage path used by all subscribers. All INTUITY system initial administration,
switch administration, and acceptance tests must be completed before you cut
the system into service. To perform the cut-to-service process, you must perform
the following
Cutting to service on the NEAX 2400 MCI switch is a phone-based task. A
procedure must be performed at each subscriber telephone to administer the
extension on the switch. Although each telephone only requires administration
once, the process may require a large amount of time if you have a large
subscriber base.
Instead of having the system administrator perform the subscriber telephone
tasks, have each subscriber perform the task. Use an In-service letter to provide
instructions to the user for performing the tasks. Use the instructions in this
chapter to write the user instructions. Determine the best cut-to-service strategy
in advance and plan a time to administer the subscriber extensions.
NOTE:
When you cut the subscribers into service, all subscribers receive
INTUITY System service. You need to prepare the subscribers and train
the system attendants before you cut to service.
Issue 2 December 1995 10-1
Cut-to-Service
Administer the Subscriber Telephones
By forwarding a subscriber extension to the main extension of the UCD group,
the switch sends call information over the MCI link to the SID. The SID converts
the information to SMDI protocol and sends the information to the INTUITY
System. A call forwarded from the switch to an INTUITY System is called an
integrated call.
You can set three different call forwarding conditions, listed below, depending on
your needs or the needs of the individual subscribers.
■
■
■
Forward subscribers for ring-no-answer
Forward subscribers for busy conditions
Forward subscribers for all calls
Task 1: Forward Subscribers for Ring-No-Answer
Ring-No-Answer (RNA) refers to an unanswered call. After a specific number of
rings without the call being answered, the call transfers to the UCD group
assigned to the INTUITY System.
NOTE:
The subscriber’s service feature class must contain call forward RNA
SFI=8. Dterm sets may have a function key for forward RNA (FKY=22).
For a station transferred blindly to a ring-no-answer station, the recall timer
takes priority over forward RNA. A call transferred to a busy extension
transfers back to the station that initiated the transfer.
Use the following instructions to forward an RNA call for cut-to-service.
1. Using the subscriber telephone, lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
2. Dial the access code or press the function key for forward RNA.
After you perform the action, you hear a second dial tone.
NOTE:
If you do not know the access code or the function key for forward
RNA, contact your switch administrator. The switch administrator
sets the codes and function keys during the initial setup of the
switch.
3. Dial the main extension of the UCD group administered for INTUITY
System service.

Switch Administration for INTUITY
Lodging
C
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.
For example, when two calls are made to the designated phone number, both
are forwarded to two free extensions in the hunt group. Hunt groups are a
commonly-used switch feature. Your switch probably has some hunt groups
already assigned.
In order to configure a hunt group for calls being received by the INTUITY system
you must:
1. Administer your switch to create a hunt group for your INTUITY system.
2. Have the switch ports that terminate the hunt group extensions wired to
the voice ports on the INTUITY platform. Wire them as described in one of
the following documents, depending on your system:

Issue 2 December 1995 C-1
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.
Message Retrieval in Systems Shared with
AUDIX
There must be two message retrieval numbers in a shared system, one to
retrieve from the AUDIX application, and one to retrieve from the Lodging
application.
Retrieval from the AUDIX Application
Provide the INTUITY system message retrieval number to your subscribers for
the AUDIX application.
Retrieval from the Lodging Application
1. Administer on your switch an extension number not associated with a
switch port. (These are often called phantom or dummy numbers.) This
number becomes the Lodging message-retrieval number for your system.
2. Configure the Lodging message retrieval number so that the INTUITY hunt
group covers all calls.
3. Provide the Lodging message retrieval number to your subscribers for the
Lodging application.
Alternate Message Retrieval Method
Guests can also be allowed to log on from a remote phone to any mailbox for
which they have a password. A guest will call a number to access this service
then enter an extension number and a password to retrieve messages in the
mailbox.
To provide this service:
1. Administer on your switch a phantom number. This is the message
retrieval number used from a remote phone.
2. Configure the phantom number so the INTUITY system hunt group covers
all calls.

Voice Mail Administration
Voice mail is enabled when the switch sends a guest’s call to a coverage path.
The following procedure, however, provides a separate number that can be used
at any time to send voice mail to a guest.
To provide this service:
1. Administer on your switch a phantom number. This number is used to
send voice messages to your subscribers.
2. Configure the phantom number so that the INTUITY system hunt group
covers all calls.

5. Provide the Lodging voice mail number to subscribers for the Lodging
application.
Call Coverage Path
A coverage path directs the switch to transfer unanswered calls to a hunt group,
to a service, or to another extension.
When a call goes to coverage, the switch forwards the called number to the
INTUITY system. The INTUITY system detects that the called number is
administered as a specific subscriber’s extension and treats the call as one to be
answered and recorded. Depending on how the extension is configured, the call
may be answered by either the AUDIX or the Lodging application.
1. Administer your switch to assign call coverage for each guest’s extension
to the associated INTUITY system hunt group number.
C-4 Issue 2 December 1995
Do-Not-Disturb
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.
If this extension is covered by the INTUITY system hunt group, then calls
received while Do-Not-Disturb is active will be recorded for later retrieval.
Cut-to-Service
A cut-to-service of the INTUITY Lodging application amounts to changing the
coverage path for each guest extension to the INTUITY system hunt group. The
associated system must be completely installed before you cut the INTUITY
Lodging application into service. Furthermore, all INTUITY system initial
administration, associated switch administration, and acceptance tests must be
completed.
Some switching systems make it possible to group these extensions as a set
allowing the coverage path to be changed simultaneously. Most switching
systems permit changing the coverage path for guest extensions one extension
at a time. You may use either method.
Gradual Cut-to-Service
Using this cut-to-service strategy, enter guests into the INTUITY Lodging system
as they check in. Only new guests, not current guests, receive INTUITY Lodging
services.
The advantages of this method include:
■
Attendants can learn the new system while only a portion of guests are
also learning to use it.
■
Guests do not have to learn both the previous and the new systems.
Current guests use the previous system; new guests use the INTUITY
Lodging system.
■
Custom passwords and language options can be assigned to each guest
as the guest is checked in.
Gradually cut-to-service as follows:
1. Administer your switch to send the guests’ telephone call coverage to the
INTUITY system hunt group.
2. Check in each new guest as described in INTUITY Lodging Administration
and Feature Operations, 585-310-559.
Issue 2 December 1995 C-5
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.
Cut-to-service is over at once. Multiple messaging systems can confuse
the guests.
Reasonable coverage options can be assigned to all guests at once;
administration can be modified for the few that have unusual
requirements.
Cut-to-service as follows:
1. Use INTUITY Lodging to administer the options that guests require.
2. Make sure guests and attendants know when the change will take place
and have some idea of how the new service operates.
3. On your switch, determine the coverage path that applies to your guests’
stations.
4. On your switch, set the new coverage path for your guests’ stations to the
INTUITY system hunt group.
Summary
You have completed the switch integration tasks necessary to configure your
INTUITY system for the Lodging application.
