How to use a pc to program and back up the config of a Pentara Phone system

Default PDS Password

SYSTEM

Sectlon1 Introduction to the Pentara Documentation System

Section 2 Phase 1 V10.0 Self-configure

Section 3 Phase 2 V10.0 Customise a database

Section 4 Phase 3 V10.C Route barring and call logging

Section 5 Phase 4 V1 o.o Printouts

Section 6 Phase 5 v10.o Transfer

Secilon 7 Phase 6 V10.0 Barring template editor

Section 8 Phase 7 V10.0 Numbering scheme editor

PDS is split into seven Phases by natural boundaries and are as follows :

Phase Title and use

1 SELFCON : This obeys the same provision rules as an on-site self-configured system giving all devices the default parameters.

2 CUSTOM: Gives the customer a totally BT customised Pentara+Plus and does not obey the same rules as Phase 1.

3 ROUTE BARRING AND CALL LOGGING: Is used to alter the call logging parameters and the route barring.

4 PRINTOUT: This enables full or partial documentation to be produced as required. That is, terminal labels and all installation data.

5 TRANSFER: Allows the transfer to and from a Pentara+Plus and a EAROM test facility.

6 BARING TEMPLATE EDITOR : This allows full creation/editing of the barring template.

7 NUMBERING SCHEME; EDITOR: This is the numbering scheme editor which enables the primary digit/s access to be changed to meet customer requirements.

A customised system is created, using PDS, along similar lines to previous Pentaras and Heralds which used HOS and H3S respectively,entering all data such as line ring maps, O/G line access, terminal type, terminal layouts, number of operators and number of supervisory terminals.

Apart from adding/deleting numbers from the system abbreviated dial and repertory-dial stores, all parameters, which are capable of on-site change, are alterable using PDS

The following parameters are alterable by PDS only :

1 .1 Numbering schemes (TNxxxx)
1.2 None sequential numbering sequence
1.3 Leading digit barring
1.4 Deletion of logical devices (lines & extns)
1.5 Line signalling packages
1.6 Supervisory/ operator relationships
1.7 Repertory dial block allocation
1.8 I/C line access
1.9 None sequencial dummy extension groups
1.10 Route barring
1 .11 Call barring (TPxxxx) Groups.
1.12 Call logging options .
1.13 Change of single key operation
1.14 Change of transfer by line key
1.15 Change of auto hold
1.16 Lines not subject to sounder off
1.17 Call costing

PDS created databases, loaded into processor EAROM memory, alter the Standard Option Package parameters and, therefore, after processors are repaired they should be returned to the SOPs before being returned to the field.

SYSTEMS CREATED UNDER PDS REQUIRE THE DATABASE TO BE SENT TO THE PENTARA
A LABEL WITH AN APPROPRIATE TDXXXX NUMBER MUST THEN BE ADHERED TO THE FIRST EAROM CHIP, INDICATING A CHANGE IN THE SOP DATABASE.

1.1 Numbering schemes

The Numbering Scheme Editor (Phase 7) enables Primary and

subsequent digit access to be allocated to functions, in order to meet a

customer's special numbering requirements.

1.2 Non sequential extension numbering sequence

Phase 2 Custom provides the means of creating and editing a customer

database. It is possible within custom to select any number or group of

numbers, whether or not they are sequential, from the extension

numbering range.

Extension numbers may be reserved, individually or sequentially.

Reservation of extension numbers saves logical not physical addresses.

Therefore no physical gaps will be left in the system.

4 Printouts

It is possible to produce detailed printouts of a Pentara+Plus system

using PDS.

Printouts can be produced for self configured or PDS configured systems .

Printouts for selfconfigured systems, using Phase 1, will give box

connection wiring, stores lists and assembly instnuctions but default

information for lines, extensions and global options.

The following information can be printed, erther as a whole or individually :

1 General information.

2 Route barring.

3 Global options (Call logging fitted and so on).

4 Stores list

5 Assembly instructions.

6 Box connection (wiring & labels).

7 External line data.

8 Extension data.

9 'Pentara+' directory.

10 Call logging information.

11 Numbering scheme.

12 Terminal labels.

13 Account codes

14 Dial call pickup groups

15 Bar code template.

5 Transfer

The transfer and recovery of a database, to/from a Pentara+Plus, is possible using PDS, either via a modem and the PSTN or direct to the V24 from the PC.
If required, after programming has finished on site, a database from a self-configured Pentara+Plus can be transferred to disk, and the general information added, thereby, creating a complete record on disk of the Pentara+Plus correct at the time of commissioning.
It is also possible using PDS to test the EEPROM memory of the processor. After test the customer's database will require re-loading as the test clears the memory.

Phase 5 of the PDS package provides the means of transferring a

database to or fro m a Pentara+Plus, either by direct connection ber.veen

the PC serial port and the V24 of the Pentara system, or via modems.

PC choice - very much DOS

The PDS packages have been produced to run on IBM compatible PCs .

The BT in-house equivalent of these machines is the M5000 range .

Included in the M5000 range are IBM AT compatible PCs - M5200 and M5210, IBM XT compatible PCs, for example M515C and IBM compatible portable PCs , for example, M5183.

The PDS package will support a serial or parallel printer for the production of system hard copy. The printer in use at present is the Facit 4542 serial printer.

Also supported are Modem 27B and Modem 13A.

On receiving the PC install as recommended in the set-up section of the

manual, that is with a subdirectory called BIN.

The AUTOEXEC.BATfile must be edited, to include the line:

PATH= C:\;\BIN;\PDS\CUSTOM

A line must be included within the CON FIG.SYS program, supplied with

the MS-DOS operating system, stating:

Device=\BIN\ANSI.SYS

PDS needs this program in order to display the menus within the Phases

correctly.

Edit both of these files using 'EDLIN'. Re-boot the system, after making

changes to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, to implement the

changes.

Modem

The standard Modems to be used for Pentara Data Entry are the 27 A

and the 278. These are 1200 baud modems and should be set to the

following Daiei service codes:

27A 1251/T/1421 (for auto answer)

278 1251/S/1421 (not auto answer)

An 'R' type cord should be used to connect the modem to the V24. The

PDS transfer cord is used to connect the PC to the modem.

OIL switches 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are to be found on the Main Card inside

the Modem.

Serial Port Settings

PC SERIAL PORT SETTINGS

The settings of the PC serial port are set by typing coNFIGUR at the

MS-DOS prompt and selecting B configure COM device from the

menu . Next select 'A' COMl, then ' H' user defined. Now [CR] until

menu offers speed settings and select E 12 00 . Next select A 1 s t o p

b i t, followed by A n o pari;:, y . Then B 8 bits. Now A n c

h a nds h ake , fo llowed by [CR] 0 (CR]. Now enter G t-cak e c h a :-:;2s -.:.o

d i s<: 2:-. d ::-.e r:-.:: ::/ . Enter drive name ' C' and the screen will display

COM1 settings. You can now exit Configur program 'D'.
