Setting Up A Site; Direct Connection - Avaya MERLIN MAGIX Maintenance And Troubleshooting Manual

Setting Up a Site

To use the WinSPM software, your PC must be connected to the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated
System directly via a serial port on your PC; otherwise you must connect to the MERLIN MAGIX
system's internal modem using your PC's modem.
Once you install WinSPM on your PC, the First-Time User Wizard guides you through setting up
your application password and using the Site Setup option to create "sites" that correspond to the
MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System that you are responsible for programming. Each site can be
labeled with as much information as you need to differentiate one site from another.
When you set up a site, you must first determine how your PC will connect to the MERLIN MAGIX
Integrated System you want to program. A site can have multiple connection types set up. There
are four connection types available (setup instructions for each type are provided on the following
pages):
Direct Connection. A serial port on your PC is connected directly to the MERLIN MAGIX
I
system programming jack–the lower modular RS-232 jack on the processor module.
Internal Connection. You are using a modem (either connected to or built into your PC) that is
I
connected to the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System (for example, via a 016 T/R module) to
access the MERLIN MAGIX internal modem.
External Connection. You are using a modem (either connected to or built into your PC) and
I
using a dial-up connection to access the MERLIN MAGIX internal modem. The External
Connection type requires use of the Remote Access feature to allow you to connect to the
MERLIN MAGIX programming port without manual intervention.
Manual Connection. You are using a modem (either connected to or built into your PC) and
I
using a dial-up connection to access the MERLIN MAGIX internal modem. The Manual
Connection is used when you must reach the MERLIN MAGIX programming port by placing a
call to the site and the person who answers transfers your call to the programming port.

Direct Connection

To set up a site for a Direct Connection, follow these steps:
1. From the Site Setup screen, click Add. The cursor moves to the Site Name field.
2. Type in the Site Name you wish to use and press the TAB key. Site Names are limited to 30
characters. You may only use characters that are acceptable for file names in the Windows
environment.
