Configuring Voice

13-11

SLT Time-out

is the time the local Voice port will wait before an actual fax transmission begins. If
there is no fax tone when this timer expires, the connection will be terminated.

Link Down Busy

enables (if

Y

) or disables (if

N

) automatic busy-out of channels when the link is down.

When this parameter is enabled, the system will automatically busy-out channels
when the composite link is down. When disabled, channels remain on-hook with the
link is down. If your application is connected to a PBX that can route calls to an
alternate source (e.g., an ACD) based on an "all busy" condition, enable this parameter
so the PBX will recognize this condition and reroute the calls while the composite link
is down.

This parameter affect on-hook channels only when the link-down condition
occurs. Active calls remain in progress until they return to on-hook.

Fax Supported

specifies whether or not faxes will be transmitted on the port. If

N

, all calls will be

treated as voice. If

Y

, both voice and fax will be transmitted

In most cases, this parameter should be enabled, to allow both voice and fax calls can
be processed.

If a voice call experiences excessive noise while this parameter is enabled,
the SmartSwitch 1800 might interpret it as fax call. Disabling this
parameter will cause the call to be treated as voice regardless of noise con-
ditions.

Telephony Interface Type

specifies (in conjunction with

Interface

) the type of interface that will be used by the

Voice channel.

Appendix C

contains more information about selecting the appropriate

interface.

If

E&M

is specified, you must also set Switch 2 on the front of the SmartSwitch (see

Figure 13-6) as shown in

Table 13-5

to select an E&M type.
