SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 4. FEATURE DESCRIPTION As shown in Figure 2-2, a direct call or a forwarded call from a station/trunk/Attendant terminates to the VMS station in the UCD group or Hunting group. When terminating a call to the VMS, the AP00 sends a call connection status information to the VMS through the MCI.

SYSTEM DATA PROGRAMMING CHAPTER 4 SYSTEM DATA PROGRAMMING 1. GENERAL This chapter explains the procedure for system data programming, necessary for setting various functions of the MCI. 2. INFORMATION FOR SYSTEM DATA PROGRAMMING 2.1 Initialization When programming the system data for the MCI, the AP must first be initialized by CMD101. This initial pro- cessing sets the initial data as the system data.
SYSTEM DATA PROGRAMMING 3. PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE Initialize the AP using the procedure described in section 3.1, and perform system data feature programming in accordance with Feature Programming. For command details, refer to the Command Manual. After all system data is assigned, set the SW1 switch of PN-AP00 as shown below to protect the data. SW 1 : POSITION TO BE SET In the programming procedures described, the following symbolic conventions are used:...
SYSTEM DATA PROGRAMMING 3.1 AP Initialization When setting up the MCI system, first do the following AP initialization. DESCRIPTION DATA START CM05 Assign a Slot Number to the PN-AP00 card. Slot No. (04-15) The slot number to be assigned must coincide 04: PN-AP00 card with the value set by the SENSE switch on the PN-AP00 card.
SYSTEM DATA PROGRAMMING 3.2 Data Programming for MCI In addition to the programming of Call Forwarding (All Calls/Busy Line/No Answer) or Split Call Forwarding (All Calls/Busy Line/No Answer) and Uniform Call Distribution or Station Hunting (Circular/Terminal/Secre- tarial), do the following programming.
