Using ACTR to move telephones
Automatic Customer Telephone Rearrangement (ACTR) allows a telephone to be
unplugged from one location and moved to a new location without additional
administration in Avaya Communication Manager. Communication Manager
automatically associates the extension to the new port. ACTR works with 6400
Serialized telephones and with the 2420/2410 telephones.
The 6400 Serialized telephone is stamped with the word "Serialized" on the
faceplate for easy identification. The 6400 Serialized telephone memory
electronically stores its own part ID (comcode) and serial number, as does the
2420/2410 telephone. ACTR uses the stored information and associates the
telephone with new port when the telephone is moved.
ACTR is an enhancement to Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI), Personal
Station Access (PSA), Customer Telephone Activation (CTA). ACTR makes it easy
to identify and move telephones.
On the change system-parameters features screen, set the Terminal Translation
Initialization (TTI) Enabled field to y and the TTI State field to voice.
Note: When a telephone is moved, if there is any local auxiliary power (a power
supply plugged into a local AC outlet), the telephone must be plugged into an
AC outlet at the telephone's new location. A telephone with remote auxiliary
power must be supplied remote auxiliary power at its new location. If you do not
supply auxiliary power in either case after a telephone is moved, some optional
adjuncts (for example, an expansion module) do not operate.
When you enter always or once in the Automatic Moves field on the Station
screen, Communication Manager adds the extension to its ACTR Move List database.
When the telephone is plugged in, Communication Manager asks the telephone for
its serial number and records the serial number on the ACTR Move List. If you
change the entry in the Automatic Moves field from always or once to no,
Communication Manager removes the extension from the Move List.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use the list station movable command to keep track of extensions on the
move list. Once you reach the maximum number, Communication Manager does not
allow additional extensions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
always - Enter always and the DCP telephone can be moved anytime without
additional administration by unplugging from one location and plugging
into a new location.
once - Enter once and the DCP telephone can be unplugged and plugged into a
new location once. After a move, the field is set to done the next time that
routine maintenance runs on the DCP telephone.
Use once when moving a large number of DCP telephones so each
extension is removed from the move list. Use once to prevent automatic
maintenance replacement.
no - Enter no to require administration in order to move the DCP telephone.
done Done is a display-only value. Communication Manager sets the field to
done after the telephone is moved and routine maintenance runs on the
DCP telephone.
error - Error is a display-only value. Communication Manager sets the field to
error, after routine maintenance runs on the DCP telephone, when a
non-serialized telephone is set as a movable telephone
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
