Administered Connection
An Administered Connection (‘‘AC’’) is a connection between two access or data
endpoints. Avaya MultiVantage automatically establishes and maintains the
connection based on the attributes you administer. ACs provides the following
capabilities.
■ Support of both permanent and scheduled connections
■ Auto Restoration (preserving the active session) for connections routed
over Software Defined Data Network (‘‘SDDN’’) trunks
■ Administrable retry interval (from 1 to 60 minutes) per AC
■ Administrable alarm strategy per AC
■ Establishment/retry/auto restoration order based on administered priority
Detailed description
Establish an AC between the following:
■ Two endpoints on the same switch
■ Two endpoints in the same private network, but on different switches
■ One endpoint on the controlling switch and another endpoint off the private
network
In all configurations, administer the AC on the switch having the originating
endpoint. For an AC in a private network, if the two endpoints are on two different
switches, normally the connection routes via Automatic Alternate Routing
(‘‘AAR’’) through tie trunks (ISDN, DS1, or analog tie trunks) and intermediate
switches. If required, route the connection via Automatic Route Selection
(‘‘ARS’’) and Generalized Route Selection (‘‘GRS’’) through the public network.
The call routes over associated ISDN trunks. When the far-end answers, a
connection occurs between the far-end and the near-end extension in the
Originator field on the AC screen.
Because the system makes an administered connection automatically, you do not
use the following:
■ Data Call Setup
Do not assign a default dialing destination to a data module when it is used
in an AC.
■ Data Hotline
Do not assign a hotline destination to a data module that is used in an AC.
■ Terminal Dialing
Turn off terminal dialing for data modules involved in an AC. This
prevents display of call-processing messages (INCOMING CALL,...) on
the terminal.
