Figure 1 shows how the parameter groups are used to define
the characteristics of trunks and channels. These parameters are collectively
known as the telephony parameters.
When to use System Configuration You can use these procedures, either to set up your system the first time, or to reset any of the parameters to specific values, at any time. If you need an explanation of any of the parameters, see System parameters reference, or select Help when you are in the parameter window. For general instructions on setting parameter values, see Setting the value of a system parameter.
Parameters used to define channel characteristics Because channels physically belong to trunks and logically belong to channel groups, the characteristics of each channel are defined with several different groups of parameters:
When do the parameter values take effect? Most of the telephony parameters take effect as soon as you disable then enable the packs that process the channels. Remember that if a channel group definition applies to channels on more than one pack, and you change the definition, all the packs that use that definition must be disabled then enabled.
Defining trunk interfaces Use this procedure to define the interfaces between Blueworx Voice Response and the trunks to which it is connected. If more than one trunk connection exists, ensure you define them all. For an introduction, see Trunks.
Defining signaling types Use this procedure to define the signaling types needed in your telephony environment.This procedure applies to Channel associated signaling (CAS) only.
Defining channels Use this procedure to define the individual telephony channels. For an introduction to channels, see Channels.
Using wvrsysconf to define telephony parameters The wvrsysconf utility provides direct manipulation of the telephony parameters that are used in system configuration. It does this by exporting the parameters and their values in the form of an XML document. It also creates an XML Schema Definition (XSD) file that contains any restrictions on the permitted values for the parameters.
