DEFINITY G3 switch hardware and software requirements

To use the DEFINITY G3 with CallPath Server for OS/2, the following minimum hardware and software are required:

Minimum Hardware requirements

A DEFINITY G3 is required.

Additional hardware may be necessary in order to use all of the CallPath features.

Contact your Avaya installation representative for installation, configuration, and required upgrades for your DEFINITY G3 hardware.

Minimum Software requirements

DEFINITY G3 Adjunct/Switch Applications Interface (ASAI) CallVisor system software is required.

Additional sotware options may be necessary to use all of the CallPath features. CallPath implements all of the ASAI functionality which may not be available with your particular switch.

Contact your Avaya installation representative for installation, configuration, and required upgrades for your DEFINITY G3 software.

When configuring the ASAI port, ensure the installation agent uses the following Feature Code options:

Event minimization?

Y

XID?

N

MIM support?

N

Fixed TEI?

N for ISDN

Y for Ethernet (TEI Length=1 or 3)

Note:

If using more than one CallPath Servers to connect to this switch, ensure that all TEI lengths are the same; either all 1 or all 3. Mixing these values will lead to incomplete event flows.

CRV length:

2

CallPath Server for OS/2 hardware and software requirements

To use CallPath Server for OS/2 in a direct connection with the DEFINITY G3, the following hardware and software are required in addition to the base CallPath Server for OS/2 hardware and software requirements that are described in the CallPath Server Planning, Installation, and Problem Determination Guide.

Hardware requirements

For the IBM PC running CallPath Server for OS/2, use any one of the following to connect the PC to the DEFINITY G3:

• An Excelltech, Inc., Data Terminal Adapter (XLT DTA) card with an appropriate connection cablefor PCs with ISA architecture
• An Excelltech, Inc., Data Terminal Adapter/Microchannel card (XLT DTA/MC) with an appropriate connection cable for PCs with microchannel architecture

  Note:

  This card was formerly called the NCR ISDN BRI DTA/MC card.

• Any 10BASE-T Ethernet card with an RJ45 connector and an appropriate connection cable
  • Use a separate Ethernet card for connectivity to the DEFINITY G3 to prevent performance problems and toll fraud. A single Ethernet card cannot be used for both host and DEFINITY G3 connectivity.
  • A 10BASE-T hub with RJ45 connectors is also required for connectivity to the DEFINITY G3.

Software requirements

For the IBM PC running CallPath Server for OS/2, either or both of the following depending on the type of card or cards installed:

• Excelltech software supplied with the Excelltech card
• Ethernet software supplied with the Ethernet card

If you are using the Ethernet connection to the DEFINITY G3, IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 WARP Version 4 (and the latest Corrective Service Levels) is required.
