DSP Digital Signal Processing. Digital signal processing refers to the manipulation of digital

signals to change their content and to add error detection and correction capability

Media Gateway Card(controller) Responsible for converting voice packets to analog and can interact with call controllers and proxies. The media gateway converts one media stream into another and can interact with call controllers, proxies, and softswitches using proprietary or standard protocols. Call Server Responsible for receiving call setup requests and checking the authorization of users to originate or receive calls. Call server as its name suggests, sets up calls requests. Call servers also create and send the necessary messages to process the call requests. You use a DSP anytime you go from one cabinet to the other on each end with a TDM to TDM call. Two DSP channels total per call. You use a DSP any time you go from TDM to IP or IP to TDM. One DSP channel per call. If the call is TDM to TDM in the same cabinet no DSP's If the call is IP to IP no DSP's TDM = Digital phone, analog phone, digital trunk (PRI) and analog trunk. CallPilot, MIRAN, MICB use digital ports so they also need DSP's. IP = IP Phones, SIP Phones, SIP trunks and H.323 trunks

Crash Coarse to Meridian PBX Programming: This is a short introduction into programming a Meridian PBX. The Meridian PBX's software divides information into LOADS. Each Load has a specific function for example. LD 20 is where you can print information about phones. The loads range from LD 01 - LD 143. ALWAY LOOK UP ERROR MESSAGES!!!! Error messages indicate to you what you are doing incorrectly, ignoring them can lead to hours of fustration.

What I am going to show you should work in a Meridian PBX's with Release 19 and above. We will be using the Following Loads or (Loaders) programs LD 10 - Creating and editing Analog phones. LD 11 - Creating and editing Digital phones. LD 18 - Speed Call Lists- How to set them up. LD 20 - Moves, Adds, and Changes, Most of the common programming will be done here.(in Release 19 and above LDs 10,11,and 32 are accessible through LD 20.) LD-23 - Programming ACD's , Here we will program Telephone number that will ring directly to Voicemail without using TN's. LD-32 - Stating, Enabling and Disabling Telephones LD 43 - Backing up the PBX LD 95 - Name Changes, This is where we add, delete, or change the names for any numbers we program.

The Meridian system will usually prompt you for what you need to do. Here are some typical prompts the system asks for: REQ: - The Request prompt, Requests information. The system is waiting for your command. valid responses are different for each load. (LD 20) Valid commands are: -PRT -DISU -NEW -ENLU -CHG -OUT -STAT -COPY *DataHeads please note: BackSpace does not work if you mess up in this programming.Please refer to below: (Shift 8) a.k.a. (the Star key) is used when you make a mistake see below * Allows you to reenter information at that specific prompt ** Takes you back to the beginning of the load. **** Takes you out of a load or type "END" TYPE: This is the type of item you want change i.e. Valid inputs are: Phone Types-- 2616, 2008, 2006, 39XX or TNB-- Terminal Number (port number on the switch) i.e. 12 00 01 00 - 12=Loop 00=Shelf 01=Card 00=Unit *Please note: Enter "spaces" between the numbers: Not 12010!(its not a zip code!) or DNB-- Directory Number (a.k.a. Phone extension)i.e.- 6500 CUST: Customer number (almost always "0" unless you have more then one customer set up) Short Cut's For Option 11's: When entering the "TN" information you don't have to insert all the 0's. i.e. 09 00 00 02 would only be 9 2. ============================================================ (TOP) Logging in: Be carful not to log in more than 3 time incorrectly, If you see OVL400 this means you are locked out for up to 45 Minutes. You should see this when you press return:">" or "OVL000" Then press: Return then type "LOGI" Then you should see "PASS" Type: "your password"

How to Program a Speed Call List Step 1) LD 18 Step 2) REQ: NEW Step 3) TYPE: SCL Step 4) LSNO: (0-8190) Pick an unused number for Speed Call List Step 5) TOLS: (skip this) To list (new speed call list number) Step 6) NCOS: (0)-99 0 is the default. *Speed calls override the telephones NCOS* You should change to match the telephone's NCOS Step 7) DNSZ: 4-(16)-31 This is the maximum amount of Digits allowed for each Speed call list. Step 8) SIZE: 1-1000 - Maximum Telephone #s allowed per List Step 9) WRT (YES) NO This tells the PBX to back it up in the Data Store Step 10) STOR xxx yyyy - xxx- the position in the list Yyy-yyyy is the telephone number-*Remember to program a 9 if you use it to dial out with. Ex. 01 9,1-800-555-1212 Step 11) WRT (YES) NO - This tells the PBX to back it up in the Data Store Creating Intercom Groups Basically Dial Intercom Groups are an internal paging system for the Meridian PBX System. There are two ways you can set up these groups: R- Which means Ring. If you dial someones 2-digit intercom number it will wait until it is answered before you will be able to talk. V- Which means Voice This will ring once then automatically pick up so you can talk or listen. It will only ring continuously if the person is on the phone. To Create Intercom Groups, first print your existing groups. STEP 1)LD 20 STEP 2)REQ: PRT STEP 3)TYPE: DIG STEP 4)CUST: 0 then enter through. This will give you the list of groups already programmed. To create a new Intercom Group, just create an Intercom Key on the phones that you want to be in the same Intercom group. Adding an Intercom key: This example is a M2616 STEP 1) REQ: CHG STEP 2) TYPE: 2616 STEP 3) TN: xx-xx-xx-xx STEP 4) ECHG:YES STEP 5) ITEM: KEY 8 DIG 1 10 V This is the 8th key on a persons phone. The Dial INTERCOM Group "1" The persons personal group number "10" V= Voice... You need to program this on at least 2 phones with the same Intercom Group numbers but with different Personal Numbers i.e. 10 and 11.

To use the feature; Person 10 would press his Intercom Key (key 8) and dial "11" and if the other person "11" is off the phone it would ring once then automatically pick up. Then you can just speak to them without them having to press anything. You must assign everyone you want to be able to talk to on the same Group number. i.e. Group 1 members can only talk to other group 1 membersso on and so forth Setting Time and Date To set the time and date of your system you program in load 2: Step 1) LD 02 Step 2) STAD "Day Month Year Hour Minute Second" i.e. STAD "24 11 1976 15 41 49" = November 24th 1976 3:41pm 49 seconds" To test it... Type: "TTAD" - (this tests time and date) Printing a Phone LD 20 REQ:PRT TYPE:DNB CUST: 0 DN: i.e. 5555 Then press enter until it begins to auto scroll. This will give you the Phone "Type" i.e. 2616 and the TN i.e. "12 00 05 00" Then type: REQ:PRT TYPE:(Phone type)or ("TNB") Valid phone types 2xxx -You may enter: 2006, 2008, 2016, 2216, 2616 3xxx -For Taurus sets (Release 24 Later) 3901,3902,3903,3904, or 3905 TN: This is where you put the TN info you printed above. example:"12 00 05 00" Then "enter through" Looking up Error Messages To look up error message(This may not work for all Release software): Step 1) Log In Step 2) Type (4 stars - "Shift 8") " **** " Step 3) Type "Shift and the "1" Key Step 4) Type "ERR then "space" the "error message" Ex. SCH0600 (Shift) "1" >ERR SCH0600 (enter) > SCH0600 Illegal Input Character

Moves/Adds/Changes Moving a Telephone To move a Telephones between exsiting location: LD 10 for Analog LD 11 for Digital LD 20 (for Rls 19 and above) REQ: MOV TYPE: (Phone Type) TN: (Terminal Number) TOTN: (To new TN Number) Then Enter Through... Here is an Example: Thelma X5000 TN 12 0 0 0 TYPE: 2008 Louise X5001 TN 12 0 0 1 TYPE: 2616 Find and empty Digital Tn that is not programmed (i.e.12 0 0 10) Then In LD 20 do a: REQ: MOV TYPE: 2616 TN: 12 0 0 1 TOTN: 12 0 0 10 then Enter through.. Now Louise is in limbo right now..then do a REQ: MOV TYPE: 2008 TN: 12 0 0 0 TOTN: 12 0 0 1 Then Enter Through... now Thelma is moved to where Louise was... Then do REQ: MOV TYPE: 2616 TN: 12 0 0 10 TOTN: 12 0 0 0 Then Enter Through.. You now Successfully Swapped Thelma and Louise's places without having to change any wiring. Now just swap their Physical telephones places. Deleting a telephone In LD 20 Do a: REQ: OUT TYPE: (Type of phone you are outing) TN: (The TN of the phone you are outing) Then Return Through.

Enabling a phone To Enable a phone, at the REQ prompt in LD 20 or 32 type ENLU then the TN of the phone. LD 20 REQ: ENLU "TN" (i.e. ENLU 12 00 05 00) Disabling a phone To Disable a phone at the REQ prompt type DISU then the TN of the phone. REQ: DISU "TN" i.e. DISU 12 00 05 00 Changing the Display name To change a name alway out the old name then insert the new name.
