Information Managers) on the market, enabling them for Computer Telephony.
PIMphony also provides the following features (from OmniPCX Office R4.0 and PIMphony 5.0
and higher):
- Extended Dial by Name mode: it is possible to use the dial by name feature to search for
contacts in the OmniPCX Office directory or on an external LDAP server (Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol server)
- Quality of Service on PIMphony IP with the support of the G729A codec
- Embedded centralized call log feature
- Configuration of PIMphony using OMC
- PIMphony on-line updates

signed feature -> enter all the numbers in Start and End, enter 9 in Base
Remarks:
- A DID no. assigned to a room at check-in automatically switches from "Guest DID
unassigned" to "Guest DID assigned".
- Likewise, a DID no. which is no longer assigned to a room at check-out automatically
returns to its initial function, "Guest DID unassigned". This operation allows you to route all
the DID calls for free rooms to the Reception set.
VisAl (Guest DID assigned)
The "VisAl (Guest DID assigned)" feature in the DID dialing plan adds a DID no. to all the DID
no. which are reserved for rooms and assigns it directly to a room.
- To add a room DID no.:

4.4.1.5 Function of the RSL key segments
The three-segment display associated with each RSL key not only allows you to see the
telephone status (normal operation), but also provides at-a-glance information on the overall
status of the room (free, occupied, cleaned, uncleaned or problem with wake-up call or room).
To access these types of status, the set must have a Hotel key. Each segment has a function:
- The first segment (on the left-hand side) indicates the free or occupied status of the room
as well as a possible wake-up call problem
- The second segment indicates the telephone status of the room set
Note: If the segment is flashing, this indicates an internal or external call
- The third segment indicates the "cleaned" or "uncleaned" status of the room as well as a
possible problem with the room

5.3 Principles
5.3.1 Overview
Counter charging according to the operating phase
Operation Counter charging method
Conversation Call detail units received on the line are charged to the user in con-
versation with that line.
Park or Hold Call detail units received on a parked or holding line are charged to
the user who parked the call.
Retrieve from parking or hold The metering units are charged to whomever activated the service.
Subsequent call detail units are charged to the user who retrieved
the call.
44/122 !" # $% # &' ( #
" & /
Automatic forwarding The system does not manage charges for external forwarding; this is
managed by the public network.
Conference Any conference costs are charged to the conference initiator.
Transfer If a transfer takes place on an external call, the cost of the call is
charged to the initial user until the external user is put through to the
new party.
When a call is transferred while ringing or on busy, call detail units
are charged to the transfer destination.
No units are charged to the Attendant Station when external calls are
transferred to a system user; all the call detail units are charged to
the destination user.
However, if a call is meant for the Attendant Station (by transfer or
callback), the call is charged to the Attendant Station.
Ext/Ext transfer Call detail units received after the transfer are charged to the user
who made the second external call.
Transfer failure A callback after a transfer failure is always treated as an incoming
call for the set to which the call is rerouted after the no-answer time-
out.
External forwarding When an internal call is made to a user whose calls are being diver-
ted to an external number, the call detail units are charged to the for-
warded user.
5.4.1 Operation
Duration
The system counts two types of duration:
- Duration of the call: This corresponds to the time during which the system considers that a
line is assigned to a user; this accounting occurs after the first switch to conversation mode
by the user with the line.
- Call phase duration: The system counts the call phase duration of an incoming external
call from the time when the system detects the call to when the line changes to
conversation with a system terminal. This information is used during external management.
Cost
The cost of a call is calculated according to the number of units charged:
- The value of the basic counter unit may be constant, regardless of the length of the call.
- The value of the basic counter unit may be variable: the cost of the first x counter units is
calculated according to an initial basic counter unit value. As soon as a threshold number
of counter units is reached, the cost is calculated according to a second counter unit value.
Note 1:
The software allows the actual duration of the call to be shown on the call detail record:
- on receipt of a CONNECT message on digital networks
- on receipt of a polarity inversion or a counting signal on analog networks.
!" # $% # &' ( # 45/122
Chapter 5 " & /
In all other cases, the duration is only approximate since it is calculated by an off-hook
simulation.
Useful parameters for calculating the cost of a call:
- Value of the basic counter unit before reaching the configured threshold (6 digits in the
chosen monetary unit, of which 0 to 2 are decimals)
• By OMC (Expert View), select: Counting -> Counting -> Counting Options for Active Currency-> 1.
Base Charge Rate
- Threshold for using the second basic counter unit value (in counting numbers from 0 to 99)
• By OMC (Expert View), select: Counting -> Counting -> Counting Options for Active Currency-> No
of units for cost threshold
Note 2:
If it has been decided to operate with a single counter unit value, the same value must be given to the
second counter unit value.
5.5.1 Operation
Since the costs of some features are not transmitted by the public network, it is possible to
assign a given value to the cost counter whenever such a service is activated.
Cost of ISDN services:
- Cost of online calculation (in counter units) in the case of manual activation (if the network
does not add the cost of the service at the beginning of the call).
• By OMC (Expert View), select: Counting -> Counting -> Counting Options for Active Currency->
Online Counting
- Cost of user to user signaling (in the chosen monetary unit, 6 digits – of which 0 to 2 are
decimal).
• By OMC (Expert View), select: Counting -> Counting -> Counting Options for Active Currency->
User to User Information
- Cost of PCX forwarding (in the monetary unit chosen, 6 digits – of which 0 to 2 are
decimal).

5.6.1 Operation
- Online counting
This additional service includes the services TOTAL COST (display of the total cost on
release of the call) and COST INDICATION (display of the cost during a call). Different
cases are possible:
!" # $% # &' ( # 47/122
Chapter 5 " & /
Subscription to the TOTAL COST or COST INDICATION service means that the additional
service is activated on subscription to the network carrier.
TOTAL COST or COST INDICATION on request (call by call) signifies that the additional
service is activated by system configuration (MMC) or by activation from an S0 set.
+ CS signifies that the cost of additional services (UUS, terminal forwarding) is managed by
the system (-CS if not).
At each automatic or manual activation of an ONLINE COUNTING request, a charge unit is
assigned to the caller.
- Activation of online counting during call
• By OMC (Expert View), select: Counting -> Counting -> Counting Options for Active Currency ->
Advice of Charge -> check During the Call or At the End of the Call
Note:
The "At the end of the call" field (TOTAL COST on demand) is not used in France.
- User to User Signaling (I)
The cost of this service is programmable by MMC.
It does not depend on the length of the message. It is assigned as soon as the UUS is
transmitted (even if the called party has not answered). The cost is assigned to the user
who initiated the call: it therefore only applies to outgoing calls.
Note: During such a call, the cost of outgoing and incoming messages is assigned to the
initiating user.

Every call that meets the tracking parameters defined for the various system terminals triggers
a record printout.
If a call is free of charge (incoming call for example) or if an incoming call remains
unanswered, the transmitted record will specify the call history (ringing time, call duration,
etc.).

XON/XOFF TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL
Note 7:
Available for V24 printing only.
When the printer is ready to print, it transmits an XON control character. The data received is
stored in a buffer. If there are only a certain number of bytes available in this buffer, the printer
will transmit XOFF. It continues to receive characters and print before transmission halt. When
part of the buffer is released, it transmits XON. The printer also transmits XOFF in the event of
the following problems: printer offline, no more paper, paper jam, etc.. It transmits XON when
these problems have been resolved.

5.12.1 Operation
5.12.1.1 Driver installation procedure
There are two ways to install the Office Link driver:
- Interactive (graphic) mode installation - installs the driving using the InstallShield Wizard
running on a client PC.
- Silent mode installation - allows you to run the installation program in the background
without interactive input. This method is based on a previously configured input file that
feeds configuration parameters to the installation program. The input file can later be used
for future driver modifications or remote updates.
Note 1:
Before installing the Office Link driver, you must meet the following password requirements:
- You must have administrator privileges on the local PC.
- The local PC administrator password must be the same as the OMC administrator password.
- The OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition administrator password must be entered into the
input file.
Note 2:
Before starting the installation, Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5 must be installed.
Office Link driver 2.3.12 version or higher requires .Net Framework 3.5 with Windows 8/8.1/10/2012
server/2012 R2 server Operating Systems to operate correctly. To determine if .Net 3.5 is already
installed, please refer to: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443%28v=vs.110%29.aspx.
If you are installing the Office Link driver on a system that is already running an OHL driver,
the installation program will recognize the existing driver and will inform you that the old driver
and all associated files will be removed before the new driver is installed.
Interactive installation
To install the Office Link driver using the InstallShield Wizard:
1. Configure the OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition to enable the taxation over IP
feature.
2. Verify that you have a valid license for the taxation over IP feature.
3. Install the driver by runing the setup.exe file located in the ????????? directory on the
!" # $% # &' ( # 63/122
Chapter 5 " & /
provided CD-ROM.
Follow the Wizard's instructions to complete the driver installation.
Note 3:
The installation program will ask you to select one of two driver modes: metering or hotel. The
InstallShield will also install a driver configuration program on the PC. A shortcut to the configuration
program will be placed on the PC desktop.
Silent installation
You can use the command line or "silent" mode installation procedure to install the Office Link
driver in the background without need for user interaction. This method uses a previously
generated input file to store configuration information. The input file must first be generated by
running the setup.exe program with an /r (record) switch. Driver configuration parameters
are then written to a setup.iss file stored in a user-specified location.
To install the driver in silent mode:
1. Run the installation program to record configuration parameters to thesetup.iss
configuration file:
setup.exe /r /f1 c:\setup.iss
Where the /r switch creates the configuration file and the /f1 argument allows you to
specify a location for the setup.iss file.
2. Use the InstallShield Wizard to enter configuration parameters according to the
requirements of your site.
When you have finished, the configuration parameters are written to the setup.iss file
which can then be edited to modify parameters for future driver modifications and updates.
3. Once you have verified driver configuration parameters in the setup.iss file you can run
the driver installation program in silent mode by entering:
setup.exe /f1 c:\setup.iss
The installation program applies the recorded parameters to the driver configuration.
4. Upon completion of the driver installation you must restart the system in order to load the
drive as a Windows startup service.
The driver is installed and running and you can now configure the driver with the driver
configuration utility.
Configuration file settings
The setup.iss configuration file can be customized by editing specific fields. Fields that can
be edited include:
- szDir : indicates the name of the target installation directory.
- szFolder : indicates the name of the Program folder where the driver will be installed.
- UpdateOption : used to enable internet updates.
Uninstalling the driver
You can uninstall the driver at any time using one of the following methods:
- Use MS Windows Add/Remove Programs function.
- Use the Uninstall OHL driver shortcut located on the desktop and in the Programs folder.
- Launch the installation program and select the Remove checkbox.
5.12.1.2 Driver configuration procedure
Once the Office Link driver is installed and running you can launch the provided OHL driver
64/122 !" # $% # &' ( #
" & /
configuration program to set various driver parameter values. Driver configuration parameters
are stored in the OhlDriver.conf file located in the driver installation directory. This file
contains all Office Link driver parameter which are set with default values when the driver is
first installed. The file can be edited to update certain parameters that are not configured by
the OHL driver configuration program.
To configure an installed and running Office Link driver:
1. Run the OHL driver configuration program by clicking on the desktop shortcut or by
selecting the OHL driver configuration program located in the driver installation folder.
The OHL driver configuration window is displayed with information about the driver version
and the installation mode. This window contains various functions to start/stop the driver
and to test the driver connection. An Autodetect feature automatically detects the Host
name address of the OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition. The Default button
can be used to set all fields to default values.
2. Once you have verified that all fields contain the desired parameter values, click Quit to
save the values to the OhlDriver.conf configuration file and quit the OHL configuration
program.

In full-duplex mode, this circuit, in association with circuit 105, enables flux control during the
data transfer phase. Closed status means that the remote unit authorizes transmission.
107 (6) : Data Set Ready (DSR)
The closure of this circuit indicates that the DCE is ready to operate. This acknowledges the
data channel trunk seizure.
In addition to the trunk seizure, this circuit indicates that the DCE is ready to exchange other
signals to trigger the data exchange (initialize the dialog).
108/1 (20) : Connect data set to line (CDSL)
This signal, transmitted by the DTE, forces the DCE to connect to the data channel.
Incoming call: As a general rule, the DTE emits this signal in response to an incoming call
defined by the closure of circuit 125 on the DCE. The DCE then closes circuit 107 as soon as
the line is seized, which triggers the dialog initialization phase. This circuit enables the DTE to
remain in control of the response to incoming calls, postponing or restricting trunk seizures
during critical operating phases.
Outgoing call: The closed status of this circuit can be used to initialize an outgoing direct call
with an automatic call DCE.
108/2 (20) : Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
The DTE closes this circuit to tell the DCE it is ready to operate.
Incoming call: closing circuit 108/2 authorizes the DCE to take an incoming call. The DTE is
advised accordingly by the closure of circuit 107 to indicate the trunk seizure. The dialog
initialization phase now begins.
Outgoing call: the outgoing call is initialized between the DTE and the DCE by a local dialog
exchanged on circuits 103 and 104.
109 (8) : Data Carrier Detect (DCD)
Closing this circuit indicates that the carrier signal received on the data channel meets the
relevant specifications.
This circuit can also be used in the closed state for DTE-DCE data exchanges when
programming or controlling serial automatic call DCEs.
125 (22) : Ring Indicator (RI)
This circuit is closed to tell the DTE that a call signal has been received by the DCE.
141 (18) : Local Loop (LL)
This circuit controls type 3 test loops in the DCE.
The closure of the circuit loops the DCE transmission channel back to the reception channel,
on the data channel side. On detecting that circuit 142 is closed, the DTE can then, in
full-duplex mode, test the DCE transmission interfaces. This looping function is not yet
available in the current state of development of the product.
142 (25) : Test Indicator (TI)
The closure of circuit 142 indicates that the DCE is in test mode, which precludes any
transmission with a remote DTE.

7.1 Overview
7.1.1 Overview
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) allows for the interaction of computer applications and
telephony features (for example, call centers and PC-based telephony). The OmniPCX Office
Rich Communication Edition provides a CTI application protocol called CSTA that conforms to
the EMCA CSTA Standard Phase 1. Using a client-server model, CSTA implements a set of
services for applications including:
- Service requests: Direct function calls which support a specific service.
- Service responses: Confirmation events or universal failures.
- Unsolicited Events: Provided when external events occur.
A list of specific applications supported by CSTA can be found on the Web under AAPP
(Alcatel-Lucent Application Partner Program).
A CSTA link is made over TCP between the CTI application computer and the OmniPCX
Office Rich Communication Edition CSTA server on the PCX.
OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition CSTA supports multi-session CSTA: several
!" # $% # &' ( # 77/122
Chapter 7 "0*
applications can open a CSTA session at the same time. The CSTA switching domain is
limited to the terminals and trunk lines directly connected to the OmniPCX Office Rich
Communication Edition.
The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address of the OmniPCX Office Rich
Communication Edition CPU board must be correctly configured in OMC -> Hardware and
Limits -> LAN/IP Configuration -> Boards.
7.1.3 Capacities
The CSTA processing capacities of the OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition are

Chapter 7 "0*
The Change Monitor Filter service changes the monitoring filter on an existing monitoring
process. Private filters may be configured to filter the CSTA private events.
7.2.1.5 Clear Connection
The Clear Connection service releases a device from a specified call and leaves the
connection in the null state. The behavior is identical to hanging up a manual call. Clear
Connection is supported for the current connection when it is in a connected, initiated, or failed
state. The service supports Callback and Make call prompts, ringing and queued calls.
7.2.1.6 Conference Call
The Conference Call service creates a conference from an existing held call and another
active call at a conference device. The two calls are merged into a single call and the two
connections are merged into a single, new connection. Three parties are involved: The
Conference Master party is the device activating the conference. The Conference Master must
have at least one call on hold (Conference Held party), and one call in conversation
(Conference Active party).
The end of conference behavior depends on who ends the conference:
- If the Conference Master hangs up or clears the connection, all connections in the

Escape
The Escape service allows for the installation of private services not defined in the ECMA
CSTA protocol. See Private Services for a description of private services defined for the
OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition.
7.2.1.10 Hold Call
The Hold Call service places an existing connection on hold. The behavior is identical to a
manual Hold. The service supports multiline and monoline devices.
7.2.1.11 Make Call
The Make Call service creates a CSTA call between two devices.
Details specific to the OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition for the Make Call service
are:
- The Make call service is allowed if the originating device is in the idle state, or has one call
initiated, or is in the disconnected state (the remote party has cleared the connection).
- The system does not check the validity of the called device's number or state.
- If the device supports on-hook dialing, the service can be configured to start calls
immediately without prompting.
- If no called number is provided, the device goes into hands-free or dialing mode.
Make Call sequence of events when device is in the idle state:
1. The originating device is in the idle state.
2. The service rings the originating device (local ringing). The service is unaware of the
device's active features (for example, forwarded, monitored, do not disturb). If the device
has a display, it displays "Automatic call".
3. The user can:
• refuse the service using soft keys, the fixed release button, or, if the device is not in
auto-answering mode, by waiting for the time-out (20 seconds).
• accept the service by picking up, using soft keys, the hands-free button, or, if the
device is in auto-answering mode, waiting for the time-out (5 seconds).
Note 1:
The auto-answering mode can be enabled only for sets having the broadcasting facility. It is not
enabled for analog or GAP sets.
4. In the case where:
• the service is accepted, the application dials for the user. The subsequent call progress
information (tones, display, LED s and soft keys) is identical to that of a manual call.
• the service is refused, the device goes into the idle state. The initiated connection is
cleared.

identical to that of a manual call.
7.2.1.12 Monitor Start
The Monitor Start service provides event reporting for a CSTA device. Only device type
Monitor Start service is supported. Private filters may be configured to filter the CSTA private
events.
7.2.1.13 Monitor Stop
The Monitor Stop service stops the monitoring process for a device initiated by the Monitor
Start service.
7.2.1.14 Query Device
The Query Device service provides indications of the state of the device's features or static
attributes. It is not necessary for the device to be monitored.
7.2.1.15 Reconnect Call
The Reconnect Call service combines the Clear Connection service and the Retrieve Call
service. It clears and existing connection and then retrieves a previously held connection at the
same device. The behavior is identical to a manual consultation cancellation. The service
supports monoline and multiline devices.
7.2.1.16 Retrieve Call

The Transfer Call service transfers a call on hold to an active call on the same device. The
on-hold and active calls are merged into a new call. The behavior is identical to a manual
supervised or unsupervised transfer. An unsupervised transfer is accepted in the alerting or
queued state. Calls to be transferred can be internal or external. On multiline devices, any call
on hold can be transferred.
If the device is busy or on-hook/hands-free, the service sends an indication (display or audio)
that a transfer has been performed. In order to do this, the system initiates a new temporary
call which is automatically cleared after a time-out.

request. Once the PCX acknowledges, the CTI sends an EXIT message. Each side then
releases the TCP connection.
7.3.2 Surveillance
A surveillance procedure is installed at the application level, to detect TCP link failures. This
procedure enables the CTI application to detect a reboot of the PCX, and inform the client.
This surveillance procedure has a faster reaction time than the default TCP mechanism.
If no message has been received from the CTI application for 30 seconds, the OmniPCX
Office Rich Communication Edition CSTA server sends system status requests every 30
seconds. These requests must be acknowledged by the CTI application. The OmniPCX Office
Rich Communication Edition CSTA server considers the link to be broken after two messages
have been sent with no reply.
7.3.3 Recovery
The following describes the recovery procedures in the event of PCX reboot, link failure, or CTI
application computer reboot. In all cases, after the failure, the CTI application restarts the
connection and monitoring.
- When the PCX reboots or loses the TCP connection, all calls are released. When the CTI
application reconnects, the PCX sees this as a new session.
- When the TCP link fails, all monitoring requests are cleared.
- When the OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition CSTA server restarts (but the
PCX does not reboot), all monitoring requests are cleared, but calls are not released.
When the CTI application reconnects, the PCX sees this as a new session.
- When the CTI application computer reboots, the TCP connection is released, and so the
monitoring data is cleared. There is no impact on calls. When the CTI application
reconnects, the PCX sees this as a new session.

7.5.1 Description
A virtual terminal does not physically exist, is not visible, and can only be managed from a
CSTA application. Created using OMC (Expert View), it is assigned an internal directory
number and has the same characteristics as a dedicated set.
A virtual terminal can receive internal and external calls. Incoming calls can be answered via
CSTA service requests; outgoing calls are also made in response to a CSTA service request.
A virtual terminal can form part of hunt group or an attendant (operator) group.
Default parameter setting:
- intercom profile (one resource key for each network access)
- 2 RGM keys for local calls
- 1 dedicated key for outgoing calls
A virtual terminal can have a maximum of 104 keys.
7.5.2 Configuration
- To create virtual terminals, in OMC (Expert view):
Users/Base Stations List -> Users/Base Stations List -> Add -> Custom. Set: Add -> Vir-
tual Terminals -> specify the number of virtual terminals you want to create.
The system assigns the available directory numbers to the virtual terminals.
All the set parameters (accessible by Users/Base Stations List -> Users/Base Stations
List -> Details), with the exception of the individual directories and passwords, can be

8.1 Overview
With the doorphone, it is possible to identify the person who has pressed the button before
opening the door. Identification is made after a call has been set up between a set connected
to the system and the doorphone.

- Recognition of MF Q23 signals or tones transmitted by the system (system -> doorphone
dialog).
- Possibility of configuring a directory no. (programmed in the memory) transmitted to the
system.
Several doorphones may be connected to the system; the limit is defined by the maximum
number of analog set interfaces that the system can contain.
A system cannot have TELEMINI and UNIVERSAL doorphones at the same time.
8.2.1.1 Operating principle
Pressing the doorphone call button sends an MF code (START) which, after validation by the
system, maintains the call and triggers an off-hook signal on the doorphone destination set or
group.
There is a specific key for answering the call, while another controls the automatic doorstrike
(latch) by sending an MF code (LOCK).

9.1.1 Environment
Connecting remote OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition systems
(Management Center subscribers)
All remote OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition subscribed systems managed by the
same Management Center are connected to the public network (PSTN or ISDN) through
analog trunk lines or via T0 (2 B-channels), T2 or E1 accesses (30 B-channels).
Note:
ANALOG NMC:
The TL must be configured with Polarity Inversion (or Busy Tone Detection must be activated)
to release the modem (the Management Center being the master of the call).
Connecting the Management Center
The OmniVista 8770 is connected to the OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition system
by an Ethernet link (the client LAN, ISDN or V34 modem).
Caution:
Programming the authorized callers also affects access to the system by NMC, as well as
remote access by OMC.

- NMC Connectivity Mode: this field defines the connectivity mode.
- System Label: this field, with a maximum of 30 characters, states the name of the remote
system. The name is defined by the Management Center; it cannot be modified by OMC
(Expert View).
Note 2:
The fields which are not modifiable by OMC (Expert View) are defined either by the system or
by the Management Center; thus, as a minimum, an "online" connection to the remote system
is required so that these fields can be used.
The Connection mode provides also an IP connection mode.
Call Accounting
- Active call accounting for: activation of the call accounting management according to the
type of calls: The following choices are offered:
• no call
• incoming calls
• outgoing calls
• incoming and outgoing calls (default value)
- Database threshold for alarm activation (%): (by default: 80 % ) 100 % = from 1,000 to
30,000 records, depending on the software license and the hardware configuration. When
the assigned threshold is reached, an alarm is sent to the Management Center (on
condition that automatic alarm reporting is activated and the
"NMC_THRESHOLD_METERING_TBL" alarm is configured as urgent); the Management
Center reacts to the alarm and connects up to the remote system in order to collect and
void the metering tickets.
Alarms Reporting(Only visible after clicking the Part 2 button)
Alarms reporting enables the remote system to inform the Management Center as soon as an
abnormal event arises with the OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition.
- Automatic alarms reporting: check the box to activate automatic alarms reporting. By
default, this feature is inhibited.
- Reaction on erroneous call: for example, the call number does not correspond to that of
the Management Center:
• Time before retry (min): waiting time, in minutes, before trying again (value between
1 and 12 minutes inclusive, by default: 12 minutes)
• Max. number of call attempts: maximum number of call backs (a single callback
authorized)
- Reaction on non-answered call: for example, the Management Center has not answered
because all accesses are busy:
• Time before retry (min): waiting time, in minutes, before trying again (value between
1 and 12 minutes inclusive, by default: 12 minutes)
• Max. number of retries: maximum number of callbacks (value between 1 and 99, by

- Activate network management (value deactivated by default or after a cold reset)
- Enter the remote system's complete configuration:
• station number for alarm reporting
• validation of the automatic alarm reporting feature
• definition of the various thresholds
• definition of the urgent alarms
• etc.
- Activate the central management feature by checking the Try to use active NMC session

10.1.1 DEFINITIONS
Point-to-Point link: a Point-to-Point link is a digital access to the public network used
exclusively by OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition. The TEI settings are generally
fixed, as there is only one terminal (OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition) for this
access, but they can also be dynamic.
Point-to-Multipoint link: a Point-to-Multipoint link is a digital access to the public network
shared by several terminals. In this type of configuration, each terminal is identified by its TEI
and dedicated DID sequence. The TEI management mode can be fixed or dynamic,
depending on the public carrier.
Both types of link can be supported simultaneously on the same system. The TEI
management mode (fixed or automatic) is configured separately for each access.
10.1.1.1 Example of the environment
This example illustrates both connection types: Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint.
100/122 !" # $% # &' ( #
) ) 4) & 0
At each connection and at each reset, (cold or warm), each T0 "asks" the network to assign it
a TEI; this procedure is performed by sending 2 level 2 messages: the "Identity Request"
message sent by the system to the network, then the "Identity Assigned" message sent by the
network. The value assigned is stored by the system until the next reset.
Possible TEI values (in accordance with ETS300 125)
- 0 to 63: fixed TEIs (values used on the system side)
- 64 to 126: automatic TEIs (values used on the network carrier side)
- 127: value reserved for management operations
When changing from a digital access with fixed TEI management to automatic TEI management, it is
essential to perform a warm reset so that the OmniPCX Office Rich Communication Edition sends
the TEI allocation request to the public exchange; if not, the TEI management on the system will be
unstable.

16.2.1 Overview
This module presents the network topologies to access the PBX services from PIMphony
Touch.
PIMphony Touch can connect to the PBX (that is OmniPCX Office) using the Wi-Fi network of
the enterprise ( On site topology ) or the internet network (WAN) when moving outside the
enterprise ( Off-site topology (home worker) ).
PIMphony Touch relies on Microsoft Windows Push Notification Services (WNS), used to send
notifications from the PBX to PIMphony Touch. When the PBX sends an event, it generates a
push notification and sends a request to the WNS. The WNS receives the request and routes
the notification to the appropriate PIMphony Touch. The notification is then displayed in a toast
window, live tile, or lock screen.
