DEFINITY G3 switch hardware and software requirements

To use the DEFINITY G3 with CallPath Server for AIX, the following minimum hardware and software are required for both Ethernet and ISDN connections:

Minimum Hardware requirements

A DEFINITY G3 is required.

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

Contact your DEFINITY G3 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 DEFINITY G3 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 AIX hardware and software requirements

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

Hardware requirements

Either or both of the following for each active connection between the RISC System/6000^(R) and the DEFINITY G3 (up to three active connections) are supported:

• An Excelltech, Inc., Data Terminal Adapter/Microchannelcard (XLT DTA/MC) with an appropriate connection cable

  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

The following software is required for implementing the CallPath Server for AIX and CallPath Server Toolkit packages with DEFINITY G3:

• AIX Version 4.3.2 (or later) for the RISC System/6000 when you are using an Excelltech card
• AIX Version 4.3.2 (or later) for the RISC System/6000 when you are using a 10BASE-T Ethernet card
