Terminal Translation Initialization
Issue 5 October 2002 1881555-233-506
Attendants
In order for attendants to use TTI, you must assign an extension to the attendant
console. TTI port translations are the same for digital telephones and attendant
consoles. To merge a digital TTI voice port and an attendant, you must first
administer the attendant as an X port. Then a digital telephone must be plugged
into the jack assigned to the attendant console, and the TTI merge digit sequence
must be entered on the digital telephone. Once the TTI merge has been completed
for the attendant console, the digital telephone must be unplugged and the
attendant plugged into the jack.
An attendant console can be separated from its port only through administration.
A TTI separate request from an attendant console gives the user intercept
treatment.
Data modules
Data modules have different tones and digit sequences.
In the merge and separate control flow, different tones are given to the telephone
user to give the current status of the TTI operation. Instead of audible tones, status
messages are displayed on a telephone connected to a data module when
activating the TTI sequence through keyboard dialing. If the TTI State field is set
to
data, you see the data display messages. If the TTI State field is set to voice,
you hear the tones.
For a stand alone data module, the TTI merge/separate digit sequence is entered in
one line at a dial prompt:
■ DIAL: <TTI feature access code><TTI security code><ext>
Separate prompts are not given for the TTI security code and extension.
Voice/data telephones
A telephone with a data terminal (DTDM) is treated as a telephone in the TTI
merge and separation sequence. The DTDM is merged with and separated from its
hardware translation at the same time the telephone is merged or separated. The
TTI merge and separate sequence can only be initiated through the telephone for
DTDMs; it cannot be initiated through the data port.
