Screen Reference
Valid entries
far-end
both-ends
If a media server or switch generates an outgoing seizure when a trunk is busied out, the
seizure will probably cause alarms at the far-end server or switch, perhaps leading to a far-end
maintenance busy out, unless the far-end server or switch is administered to expect this
behavior.
If the administered value of this field is either far-end or both-ends, any abnormally long
incoming seizure (including failure to drop from a completed call) is assumed to be the result of
a far-end maintenance busy condition. Note that this assumption may be incorrect, since the
abnormally long seizure may actually be due to failure of the trunk circuit. Regardless of the
cause of the abnormally long seizure, your server running Communication Manager does the
following things:
1. Generates a warning alarm indicating that the trunk is assumed to be maintenance busy at
the far-end
2. Removes the trunk from service
3. Keeps the trunk out of service until a far-end disconnect is received
Allowable values depend on the entry in the Direction field: check the online help in Avaya
Communication Manager.
Send Calling Number
Specifies whether the calling party's number is sent on outgoing or tandemed ISDN calls. Valid
entries are y, n, or r (restricted). If y is entered, the ISDN Numbering - Public/Unknown
Format screen is accessed to construct the actual number to be sent, or the ISDN Numbering
- Private screen (based on the Numbering Format field) is used. If the value is r, the calling
number is sent "presentation restricted.".
Note:
The ISDN Numbering - Public/Unknown Format screen can override the Send
Note:
Calling Number field entry for any administrable block of extensions.
