Planning for MASI
Before you start to administer MASI, you should make a plan for how to do it. Among the
configurations on the following pages, there is probably one that matches the configuration of
your system fairly closely. You might want to either write on these pages, or draw up your own
configuration. It might help you if you have already determined trunk group and signaling group
numbers, unused extensions, and so on. The following are things you need to consider:
Establish the dial plan on the MMCX to agree with that of Avaya Communication Manager.
●
If you use Universal Dial Plan and MMCX, you might need to make adjustments for the
MMCX dial plan.
Find unused extensions and trunk group numbers. You need:
●
- one trunk group number for each ISDN-PRI connection to the MMCX.
- one signaling group number for each MASI node and an unused Communication
Manager extension for the signaling group.
- one unused Communication Manager extension for the Near-End Path Termination
number for all MASI Paths to this ECS. You can use the same number for all MASI nodes
in the domain.
- two unused MMCX extensions for the nearpath and tscnum arguments to the chgmasi
command. This is the command you use to administer MASI on the MMCX.
