Using ACTR to move phones
Automatic Customer Telephone Rearrangement (ACTR) allows a phone to be
unplugged from one location and moved to a new location without additional
switch administration. The switch automatically associates the extension to the
new port. ACTR works with 6400 Serialized phones and to the 2420 phones. The
6400 Serialized phone is stamped with the word “Serialized” on the faceplate for
easy identification. The 6400 Serialized phone memory electronically stores its
own part ID (comcode) and serial number as does the 2420 phone. ACTR uses the
stored information and associates the phone with new port when the phone is
moved.
ACTR is an enhancement to Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI), Personal
Station Access (PSA), Customer Telephone Activation (CTA). ACTR makes it
easy to identify and move phones.
!
CAUTION:
When a phone is unplugged and moved to another physical location, the
Emergency Location Extension field must be changed for that extension or
the USA Automatic Location Identification data base must be manually
updated. If the Emergency Location Extension field is not changed or if the
USA Automatic Location Identification data base is not updated, the DID
number sent to the Public Safety Network could send emergency response
personnel to the wrong location.
Detailed description
On the Feature-Related System Parameters screen, set the Terminal Translation
Initialization (TTI) Enabled field to
y and the TTI State field to voice.
NOTE:
When a phone is moved, if there is any local auxiliary power (a power
supply plugged into a local AC outlet), the phone must be plugged into an
AC outlet at the phone’s new location. A phone with remote auxiliary power
must be supplied remote auxiliary power at its new location. If you do not
supply auxiliary power in either case after a phone is moved, some optional
adjuncts (for example, an expansion module) do not operate.
When you enter
always or once in the Automatic Moves field on the station
screen, the switch adds the extension to its ACTR Move List database. When the
phone is plugged in, the switch asks the phone for its serial number and records
the serial number on the ACTR Move List. If you change the entry in the
Automatic Moves field from
always or once to no, the switch removes the
extension from the Move List.
