8.6 Integrations with Avaya System 85 and Definity G2 PBX's will
experience long delays in port disconnects. Both the Avaya
System 85 and the Definity G2 PBX's do not provide a positive
disconnect signal as indication of calling party disconnect; therefore,
Octel ports must rely on silence detection in order to recognize that
the calling party has disconnected, resulting in long delays before
going back on-hook. This problem can be resolved on System 85
PBX’s with software release R2V4N3.2, by installing patch 207. It
can also be resolved on Definity G2 PBX’s with software release V6
5.0, by installing patch 22. The O350 must be at release 2.03 or
newer software. Whenever those patches are implemented,
however, supervised transfers are not supported. Customers not
wishing to upgrade PBX and/or O350 software may want to
consider a different method of integration (VoiceBridge’s) or
installing additional ports in order to alleviate this issue.
8.7 Avaya OMD strongly recommends using the TN754B or TN754C
circuit packs, as field testing of TN754 circuit packs uncovered
problems. Furthermore, Avaya has recognized problems with TN754
Version 5 to Version 10, and if the use of TN754 circuit packs is an
absolute requirement, the circuit pack(s) must be Vintage 11 or higher.
It is also been discovered that SN270 circuit packs do not work
properly with FLT-A’s. Use SN270B circuit packs instead, as those
cards have been successfully implemented.
8.8 Name fields descriptors of Trunk Groups require that at least
one numerical value be entered, regardless of Avaya PBX model
type. Valid examples are: TIE 1, INWATS 2, 800 INWATS, etc. If
the name field is left blank, the PBX will by default display the trunk
number; this is also satisfactory.
8.9 Performing station/board tests may cause port lock-up. Octel has
discovered that if a station/board test is invoked for the DCP ports
connected to the Octel system (from Avaya system consoles, test is
invoked by entering: “test station XXXX” or “test board XXYY”), it
may cause port lock-up. This only happens if a call is presented to the
port at the same time as the station test is performed. If ports are tested
while in idle state, the test will not affect functionality.
8.10 Multi-appearance voice terminal users on AVAYA System 75,
Definity G1 and G3 can bridge onto calls that forwarded to the Octel
system. A feature called “Temporary Bridged Appearance” allows
multi-appearance voice terminal users to “bridge” onto (listen in on) a
call that has “Call Covered” and been answered by another station. If
the “covering” station is an Octel port, the calling party may
inadvertently be “conferenced” by the called party and the Octel port.
