Establish a MASI Path with the following attributes:
■ Near-End Path Extension — An unassigned MultiVantage extension.
When using the
chgmasi command to administer the MMCX, this is the
farpath extension. See the MMCX Technical Reference for more
information.
■ MASI Node — The node number for the MMCX. For each MMCX/MASI
node, this number must be the same everywhere it occurs (signaling group,
masi trunk group, and masi terminal screens).
■ Trunk Group — This is the MultiVantage trunk group number for the
ISDN-PRI trunk that will be used to establish call paths.
■ Far-End Path Termination Number — This is an unassigned MMCX
extension. When using the
chgmasi command to administer the MMCX,
this is the nearpath extension. See the MMCX Technical Reference for more
information.
Step 8 — Administer MASI trunk groups
You use the MASI trunk group screen to define MMCX interfaces that
interconnect MASI nodes, or that connect MMCX nodes to another private switch
or central office. Examples of MMCX interfaces include:
■ PRI trunks linking MMCX servers
■ PRI trunks linking MMCX to the PSTN
■ PRI trunks from MMCX to a MultiVantage system that are used for
purposes other than MASI
■ ‘‘LAN’’ interfaces linking MMCX servers
Use the command
add masi trunk-group xxx (or ‘next’) to access the MASI
Trunk Group screen. The trunk group number must not be assigned, and you
cannot exceed the maximum total trunks for your system. Valid values for xxx are
unused MultiVantage trunk group numbers between 1–96 for DEFINITY
SI/DEFINITY CSI configurations, and 1–120 for DEFINITY R configurations.
