Terminal Administration
Automatic Station Relocation/Terminal Translation Initialization
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions provides terminal translation initialization, a feature that works with the
Administration Without Hardware feature. (Terminal translation initialization is part of the Portless
Administration/Administration Without Hardware feature, but it can also be a stand-alone feature.) Terminal
translation initialization associates the terminal translation data with a specific port location through the
entry of a special feature-access code, a terminal translation initialization security code, and an extension
number from a terminal that is connected to a wired — but untranslated — jack.
After a terminal is connected to an appropriate jack, the terminal user can dial the appropriate codes
followed by a pretranslated extension number of an Administration Without Hardware terminal. The system
will complete the administration of the terminal by associating the translation data with the port location and
performing appropriate checks.
Terminal translation initialization reduces the labor associated with system initializations, major additions,
rearrangement and changes, and building wiring. Translation data entry can be performed without
knowledge of the physical layout of circuit packs. End-users can move their own station equipment if a
building is wired to support it, reducing costs for station moves. Individual lines need only be wired to the
correct type of port, rather than to a specific port.
System administrators maintain control over the use of terminal translation initialization through security
codes. By activating and deactivating security codes, administrators can control who uses terminal
translation initialization — and when.
