The ICP/PBX Networking form is used to set up signaling links between systems and to establish how long the signaling session will stay up after the call clears down. It must be programmed for each system that will communicate using remote messaging (this includes the Local system). Refer to IP Networking or XNET for programming instructions.
Use this form when performing the following tasks:

Note: The information in this form replaces the former Network Signaling PLID and Network Signaling IP fields in the System Acess Points form.

Parameter |
Description |
Default Value |
|
PBX Number |
Enter a unique network ID number (valid numbers are from 1 to 999) to distinguish between systems when entering information in the forms. The default value is blank.
|
Blank |
|
Local PBX |
Select "Yes" if this form pertains to the Local system. |
No |
|
Comment |
Enter information to identify the system. This field accepts up to 25 characters. |

ICP/PBX Members |
| |
|
Network IP Address |
If only IP Networking or XNET with IP signaling is required to remote ICP/PBXs, enter the IP address of the RTC at that remote controller. For IP trunking and for XNET with IP signalling, the local instance of the form MUST contain the IP address of the local controller's RTC. If only PPP signaling is required (over ISDN PRI B-channels), the IP address does not have to be a "real" globally unique IP address but should be unique in the network. If both types of signaling are required, enter the IP address of the remote RTC.

Blank |
|
IP Network Location ID |
System generated, protected field (automatically programmed after the Local ICP/PBX field is set to "Yes"). Displays the PLID of the Remote ICP Comms card. |
Blank |
|
ISDN Network Signaling Location ID |
Enter the Location ID or PLID of the NSU, or PRI card supporting XNET PPP signaling. Only program this field when the Local ICP/PBX field is set to "Yes". |
Blank |
|
ISDN Network Signaling Digits to Dial |
Enter the digits to dial to make an ISDN PRI call to support PPP signaling to this specific ICP/PBX. If the Local ICP/PBX field is set to "Yes", only program this field if loop-back calls to this PBX using PPP signaling are desired. |
Blank |
|
ISDN Network Signaling Answer Point Digits |
Enter the answer point digits that when received over PRI will set up PPP signaling to this PBX. Only program this field when the Local ICP/PBX field is set to "Yes". If you need to change programming for a non-local member you must delete any answer point digits from this field. |
Blank |
|
ISDN Network Inactivity Timer (hh:mm:ss) |
Enter the length of time a signaling link should be kept up to the remote system after the last call using it clears down. The default value is blank, which indicates that the signaling link will be kept up indefinitely. The time can be set between 0 and 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds at a 1 second resolution. A value of "0" indicates that the link should be cleared immediately after the last call using it clears. If the values programmed on the two switches are not set to the same value, the longer of the two values is used. In the extreme situation, when one the timer is set to a short value (say 5 seconds) at one end of the link, and the timer is not programmed at the other end, the default value for this field is blank, indicating that the link should be left up forever. |
Blank |
|
QSIG Network Features Only |
Select "Yes" if the PBX being connected uses the QSIG network features.
|
No |
|
Zone ID |
The zone for IP voice media originating or terminating at the ICP. This also specifies the default zone of the ICP. |
