However, as for iDCS 500 / OfficeServ, you have to use the primary speed of serial communications as 19200 bps. This value shall conform to the primary speed of PBX system.

Note

Primary speed of serial communications for each telephone system

• DCS 180: SIM Type, 9600 BPS

• SDX COMPACT: SIM / Serial Type, 19200 BPS

• iDCS 500/OfficrServ: Serial, 19200 BPS

Each system has a function of changing the baud rate. For the setting related with your installed system, contact an


. y

Stop Bits: A value of 1 bit is used by default. This value shall coincide with that of communication environment of telephone system. Usually, this value is not changed.

Communication Environment Setup for TCP/IP connections

Some Samsung telephone systems support the LAN-based TCP/IP communications. The environment settings for TCP/IP connections are as follows: y

IP address: Receives the IP address of telephone system working in TCP/IP.

(See the

MMC 830

settings of Key telephone system.) y

Port No.: Receives the port No. waiting for a connection request from the Link. By default, this value is set to

5002.

Usually, this value is not changed.

Note

TCP/IP connection is the preferred method of connection for iDCS and OfficeServ Systems.

The other methods are retained for compatibility with previous systems

.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Communication Environment Setup for user connection in standby

As soon as connections have been successfully completed with the telephone system, the

Link starts a process in order to perform the service needed to receive requests from users.

In the LAN-based TCP/IP case this listening port is set to

6000

by default. Usually this will not need to be changed, but port numbers 1024 or higher can be used if necessary.

Values of 0 ~ 1023 have been already built in the Link.

A port currently being used for another service by the computer cannot be specified. There is a command for you to check which TCP/IP port numbers are currently used. Use the command at the command prompt of Windows as follows: c:\>Netstat -a -e -n -p TCP

Note

Message Auto Clear Option.

During Operation the Link shows various status messages on the status message bar placed at the bottom of the Window. If enabled, the maximum number of message lines retained can be set in this field. (selected from a range of 100 to 9999). If disabled, a maximum of 9999 lines is specified. If the number of message lines exceeds the maximum, the additional lines will be deleted.

Note

We recommend that you enable the message Auto clear option, and set the number of lines to a low setting during normal use. If you specify a high value, the performance of Link may be affected.

Automatic connection to PBX system at Link startup

When the communication environment has been set up and the Link has been normally connected to the telephone system, this option allows you to make the Link connect automatically to the telephone system on application startup.

This is recommended for normal use.

Note

When the Link has been linked to Startup folder during installation, and this option is selected, the Link will run automatically when the computer is started, and the Link will automatically attempt to connect to the telephone system.

If you need to change the communication environment, or are reconfiguring the system, this option should be deactivated before restarting.

Message Monitoring and Saving Option

The Link has the ability of transmitting internally processed messages to an external monitoring program. This monitoring program is installed together with Link software. In addition, if you install the additionally provided monitoring program, you can also monitor the messages that are currently processed via LAN on the other computers.

General message monitoring option settings

A general message means a call-processing message that is transmitted and received between Link and the telephone system. The Link transmits the currently exchanged general message to the general message-monitoring program, and the monitoring program shows you the received message. It also provides a Save function.

The General message monitoring program, [Switch Message Monitor] is installed when Link software is installed.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Figure 3.9 General message monitoring program

For connection to the general message monitoring program, Port Number ‘6001’ is specified by default. You can access to the Link by using the IP address of computer that Link runs and its specified port No, when setting up the monitoring program. A value of ‘6001’ is default.

SMDR/ UCD message monitoring option settings

SMDR message or UCD message can be transmitted to the Link from the telephone system, according to the settings of CTI option. The SMDR / UCD message can provide charging or

UCD group information through an additional program (not supplied). The Link can monitor such SMDR / UCD messages in the form of that is transmitted from the telephone system.

To monitor such messages, the Link provides the SMDR / UCD message monitoring program similar to the general message-monitoring program. It is set to ‘6002’ by default.

Figure 3.10 SMDR / UCD message monitoring program

Information of the message monitoring setting state is indicated on the main window of Link as follows:

Figure 3.11 Link indicator for message monitoring setting status

Note

The detailed description of Switch Message Monitor and SMDR / UCD Message Monitor program is included in the section of message monitoring.

Password Protection Option

The Link protects the anonymous access of a CTI or SMDR port by using the password.

Before connecting the message monitoring port, each monitor program should send the valid password to the Link. the link can change the password anytime.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SMDR / UCD Message Exteranl Send Options

The Link provides a port capable of transmitting two messages for use by optional SMDR or

UCD collection and analysis software, independently of the SMDR / UCD Message Monitor.

This Port No. is 6003 by default.

Note

According to the 3 rd

party application, you can change the access method for the SMDR / UCD

Message external send option. With the password protection mode, the 3 rd

party application should follow the password check protocol before accessing the external send port. Without the protection mode, any 3 rd

party application can access the SMDR / UCD message external send port. You have to remember that SMDR or UCD message can include some internal security data relating to system or each device. To protect them, use the Password protection mode..

OfficeServ Call+ Function Support Option

The OfficeServ CallPlus program transmits caller information saved in the computer to the telephone system, based on the CLI details of the originating call, so that the telephone system can display this and other pertinent information on the LCD of digital telephone.

However, some older types of Samsung telephone system cannot process the OfficeServ

CallPlus message. In this case, the transmission of Link Plus message toward such systems may cause an error in the connection process. This option allows you to specify if the

OfficeServ CallPlus message shall be transmitted to the Telephone system.

Note

To check whether or not your Telephone system supports the function of OfficeServ Call Plus message, contract an


.

Link State Message Display Option

In the case of a system error, the Link can transmit a trace message of its internal processes to an external program to provide debugging information. A debugging tool, DBView.exe, can be found in the Tools folder. If you execute the DBView.exe program while this option is active, you can monitor the detailed messages through the DBView.exe program and can save the output result in a file.

The Link also supports a log message save option. Link can save the current event messages into a specific log file on the Link installed folder. (Log File Name: LinkLog.txt).

Whenever you want to make a log file, check the save option. The amount of data collected can grow quickly so after collecting data remember to rename or delete that log file to prevent a log file size problem.

Note

The status message output options have a significant effect on the performance of Link program.

Therefore, in normal use, operate the Link with these options disabled. We recommend you activate this option only when you need to trace the cause of a problem or abnormal working in the Link.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Link Display Language Option

The Link supports Korean and English, and runs in the mode specified during installation.

However, this option allows you to change the language mode if necessary. If you want to change the language mode, you have to restart the Link after changing the mode and deactivating the Link. When changing the language mode, you get the following alarm message.

Figure 3.12 Language mode change alarm message.

Click on the [OK] button to save the changes after you have completed the setting of all the options above. If you want to cancel the changes, click on the [Cancel] button.

Note

The Link installation has a default for each entry. However some of the defaults may not be correct for the particular telephone system or computer used. Therefore, we recommend you check the settings depending on the telephone system and Computer used.

Switch Link Recovery Try Count Option

When the CTI link is failed between the Link and the Switch, the link will try to recover the cti link until the retry count value is 0 or the cti link is recovered. The initial value of this recovery try count is 30.(the minimum value). User can select one value between 30 and 9999.
