LBI-39077A INTRODUCTION / DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION This manual describes how to installation and use the GTI (Global Telephone Interconnect) Configurator software to configure the GTI units used in the ELI option. A companion manual, the EDACS Enhanced Local Interconnect (ELI) system manual (LBI-39076), describes the installation, configuration, and operation of the ELI option. The information in this manual is presented in the sequence you should need it.
INSTALLATION LBI-39077A FIRST TIME INSTALLATION CAUTION As soon as the GTI Configurator software is installed for the first time, anyone who can read this manual will have access to all operations, including the assignment of all passwords. Therefore, be sure to have the overall system administrator assign User passwords as soon as the installation is complete. For details, see the Passwords section of this manual.
LBI-39077A INSTALLATION 1. Turn on the office PC being used as the GTI Configurator, and wait until the characters C:\>_ are displayed on the screen. If the office PC is already on, exit any program that may be running, type “CD\”, and press the Enter key. The characters C:\>_ should then be displayed on the next line of the screen. 2.
INSTALLATION LBI-39077A SEPARATE BILLING FILE DIRECTORY Billing files for Call Detail Records will be stored in the GTICON (or whatever you called it) directory unless a separate directory named GTIBILL is set up. The GTI Configurator software will first look for a separate GTIBILL directory. If that directory has been set up, the GTI Configurator software will put the billing files there.
LBI-39077A GETTING STARTED NOTE If you run GTICON in a DOS window under Windows, you will need to set some parameters in the PIF Editor found in Main program group. Refer to Windows manual on how to use the PIF Editor. We recommend Windows 3.1 rather then 3.0. Set the execution to 'Background' to allow GTICON to perform tasks in the background while you may have another application active in the foreground.
SCREEN ORGANIZATION LBI-39077A SCREEN ORGANIZATION The Main Menu screen is the first screen displayed after you start running the GTI Configurator software. (If passwords have been assigned, you will need to enter your password in the password screen before the Main Menu screen appears.)

LBI-39077A PASSWORDS CAUTION Be sure to check the passwords as they are displayed in the Passwords window before you move on to another operation. Better yet, write them down - exactly as they appear. Be especially careful with letters of the alphabet since the upper and lower cases of a specific letter of the alphabet are different ASCII characters in a password. Also, be especially careful not to mistake a period for a comma, or a colon for a semi-colon (or vice-versa).
PASSWORDS LBI-39077A If the user types and enters an invalid password or just presses the Enter key, the user will be given access to a severely abbreviated set of operations for functional level 0, and see a severely abbreviated menu in the Main Menu screen. If the user types and enters a valid password for functional level 1, 2, or 3, the user will be given access to a partial set of operations for the functional level of the password used, and see a partial menu in the Main Menu screen.
LBI-39077A PASSWORDS This Locked number will change each time you exit the GTI Configurator software and try to re-access the software using HELP as your password. So record only the last Locked number, if you have entered HELP more than once. Then call a customer support engineer at 1-800-528-7711 and give the engineer the Locked number you have recorded. The engineer will tell you what to do from there.
DATA LINK TO GTI UNIT LBI-39077A DATA LINK TO GTI UNIT CAUTION DO NOT remove the data link between the GTI Configurator and a GTI unit in the system (serial cable or modem connection) during a communications session. To end a communications session, do one of the following: • Press the Esc key several times until “*** End of Processing ***” and “C:\GTICON>_” appear on the screen, or • Select (highlight) the Exit operation from the otHer group in the Main Menu screen and press the Enter key.
LBI-39077A DATA LINK TO GTI UNIT LOCAL DATA LINK If the distance between the GTI unit and GTI Configurator is short, a cable (no longer than 50 feet) can be connected from the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the GTI unit directly to a serial COM port on the GTI Configurator. This connection can be used when the GTI Configurator is located with the system of GTI units or in a nearby office. To set up the local RS-232 link, use the following procedure: 1.
DATA LINK TO GTI UNIT 2. LBI-39077A Set the baud rate for the RS-232 port on the GTI unit using DIP switch SW2 sections 6, 7, and 8 located on the right side of the GTI unit. To get to the DIP switch after the GTI unit has been mounted in an EDACS repeater cabinet, remove four screws in front and two in back. Then slide the GTI unit forward just enough to reach the DIP switch. If there is enough slack in the connecting cables, it isn’t necessary to disconnect them or power from the GTI unit.

Default is blank. • Country - This field defines certain internal telco parameters that may vary from country to country. If you press the Enter key when the cursor is in this field, a pop-up window will appear displaying a list of countries from which you may make a selection.
LBI-39077A DATABASE • Min. Call Time to Store - This field defines the time that a call must be in progress before it is stored as a Call Detail record. This feature can be used to save call detail storage space by not storing incomplete and erroneous calls. Range is from 0 to 999 (seconds). Default is 020 (seconds).
DATABASE LBI-39077A • Number of Entries - This field defines how many extra times the system will be called if the first time the call retrieval failed due to either a busy line or communications failure during call detail retrieval. Use a two-digit number from 00 to 10. Default is 04. • Internal Modem Autodial Delay - This two-character field is used to define the overdial delay in seconds for internal modem in originate mode. Enter a number from 00 to 20. Default is 08.
LBI-39077A DATABASE TELCO INFORMATION Telco information is information about the individual telephone lines connected to the GTI units in the system. To edit the telco information, select the Telco config operation from the Edit group in the Main Menu screen, and press the Enter key. Then select the system you want to edit from the INDEX window in the next screen, and press the Enter key. The next screen you will see is the Telco Configuration screen for the system you selected.
DATABASE LBI-39077A Balance and Levels operation in the Comm group). Default is N. If you use Y, the BALANCE_HYBRID pop-up window will appear, displaying the following two additional fields: • • • Phone number to call: - This field stores the telephone number (up to 7 digits) of a device that will automatically answer and provide a “quiet termination” for the hybrid balance operation. The silence number is normally a number provided by the local C.O. (Central Office).
LBI-39077A DATABASE • Delay Before Prompt: This field defines the delay between when line supervision is detected and when prompts are played (voice or tone). Range is 0 to 5.0 (seconds). Default is 0.5 (seconds). • Dial-Out Mode: This field defines the dial out method. Use D for DTMF dialing, P for pulse dialing, or M for MF (Multi-Frequency) dialing. Default is D.
DATABASE LBI-39077A • Line Description: Use N for normal E&M lines (disconnect when GTI unit sees E-lead go idle), or use 1 for Type I lines (disconnect when GTI unit sees E-lead go idle, but only after receiving Answer Supervision). Default is N. • Connect Time Required: This field defines the amount of time the connect signal must be stable to recognize the start of an incoming call. Set to about 0.06 (second) for E&M lines. Range is from 0 to 2.50 (seconds). Default is 0.06 (second).

LBI-39077A HYBRID BALANCE AND LEVEL SETTINGS Adjustments Column of Table 5: • (B) Balance - Balance hybrid in GTI unit (required when 2-wire line is connected to GTI unit). • (T) Audio To Ph. - Set audio software gain in the digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry towards phone (required for all types of phone lines). • (F) Audio Frm Ph. - Set audio software gain in the digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry from phone (required for all types of phone lines). • (P) E&M4W To Ph.
HYBRID BALANCE AND LEVEL SETTINGS LBI-39077A Audio levels used in 2-wire phone systems are well documented and standardized. As noted previously, the only level setting required for a 2-wire line are the software gains in the digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry in the GTI unit. On the other hand, 4-wire lines do not have this standardization.
LBI-39077A HYBRID BALANCE AND LEVEL SETTINGS will need only one telephone. Determine how your telephone company handles calls to the DID circuits and reserve the use of the appropriate number of telephones. Make sure each telephone has its mouthpiece removed, so that the GTI unit can properly detect quiet during the balance adjustment. To balance the hybrid for the selected DID line in the selected ELI system, press the Esc key to return to the Main Menu screen.
HYBRID BALANCE AND LEVEL SETTINGS LBI-39077A (P) E&M4W To Ph. The (P) E&M4W To Ph. adjustment is used to adjust the hardware gain in the GTI unit for audio to the 4-wire E&M line. Before this adjustment can be made, the telephone number of a device to measure the audio tone level across a quiet termination must be entered using (S) Silence Setup (or it can be entered into the GTI Configurator database). To make the (P) E&M4W To Ph.
LBI-39077A HYBRID BALANCE AND LEVEL SETTINGS To make the (U) E&M4W Microwv adjustment for the selected line in the selected ELI system, press the U key (the status of the selected line must be FREE or READY for this adjustment). The GTI Configurator software will then instruct the GTI unit to call the Silence Number. If the call to the Silence Number is successful, a bar graph will appear showing the current audio level received from the 4-wire line.
HYBRID BALANCE AND LEVEL SETTINGS LBI-39077A Silence Number will be needed by the GTI Configurator before the hybrid balance adjustment can be made. A Silence Number may be entered each time a hybrid balance adjustment is to be performed. However, if you will be using the same Silence Number for a long time, it may be easier to enter it into the GTI Configurator database, so you won’t have to enter it each time a hybrid balance adjustment is to be performed.
LBI-39077A VOICE PROMPTS VOICE PROMPTS OVERVIEW Voice prompts is the most flexible type of telephone call prompts available in the ELI option. (Telephone call prompts are an aid to a telephone user, and do not apply to a radio user.) Other choices are tone prompts and no prompts. The desired type of telephone call prompts can be selected on a system-wide basis or a line-by-line basis.
VOICE PROMPTS LBI-39077A The GTI configurator provides a flexible method of allocating time among voice prompts, and designating which (if any) prompts are to be played. When you select (highlight) the Edit Voice Prompts field in the SYSTEM_CONFIG window of the SYSTEM_CONFIG screen, type Y, and press the Enter key, a PROMPTS pop-up window will appear (see Figure 40). This pop-up window allows you to select no prompt, a tone prompt, or a voice prompt for each of the eight prompt numbers.
