System parameter groups

• Application server interface parameter group, which defines the characteristics of all voice applications.
• CPU monitor parameter group, which specifies the operation of the CPU monitor.
• Exchange data link parameter group, which defines the characteristics of the exchange data link (optional).
• General parameter group, which specifies some aspects of Blueworx Voice Response operation, including log file archiving.
• ISDN signaling parameter group, which defines values for use by the ISDN subsystem (optional).

In addition, you can define:

• Up to 16 E1 or T1 trunks, using the parameters in the Trunk interface parameter group.
• Up to 16 signaling types, using the parameters in the Signaling type parameter group (channel associated signaling only).
• Up to 16 channel groups, using the parameters in the Channel group parameter group. Each channel group can include up to 120 channels. Each channel group definition specifies the signaling type to which it belongs (channel associated signaling only) or a signaling process type.
• Up to 480 E1 channels or 384 T1 channels, using the parameters in the Channel parameter group. Each channel definition specifies the channel group to which it belongs. Each channel inherits the characteristics of:
  1. The trunk to which it is assigned (see the Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: Installation information)
  2. The channel group to which it belongs
  3. The signaling type to which the channel group belongs.
• Up to 25 call progress tones, using the parameters in the Call progress tones parameter group (for outbound dialing only).
• Characters or symbols to be mapped to 16 keys on the telephone key pad, using the parameters in the Key signals parameter group (optional).

All of these parameters have default values, which are listed in System parameters reference. You need to change the values only if they are not appropriate to your system. For information about how to set these values, see Setting the value of a system parameter.

Not all parameter values take effect immediately. In some parameter groups, the new values take effect when you restart Blueworx Voice Response (see When do new values take effect?) and in others, the new values take effect when you disable and then enable the packs (see the Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: Managing and Monitoring the System information).

The following sections describe the parameter groups, tell you what to do to make new parameter values take effect, and list the parameters in each group.
