1. Configuration
This chapter covers the use of the AlphaConnect 48 configuration tool used when performing the system configuration. Configuration covers subjects like: Determining call numbers Setting access privileges Installing services and functionalitys using the system call number concept Printing telephone directories
1.1 Starting the Mxconfig tool

Configuration of the AlphaConnect 48 communication system is undertaken using the application Mxconfig.exe. This application is started, like any other windows application, by double clicking its icon. The application is found on the AlphaConnect 48 system disk in the directory AlphaConnect 48 (or when CP1: MX2000). It can be copied to any computer from which the system programming is to be done.
1.2 Accessing the configuration file

All configuration data are found in one single file named mx.mcf. The name of the file, and its location on the AlphaConnect 48 system hard disk must be kept unchanged, in order for the data to be used by the system when operating. The user is free to edit and copy and rename configuration files for backup and test purposes. 1.2.1 Network access The most convenient way of accessing the configuration is to connect a PC computer using the network connector of the CP board. If the vessel already has a network installed, then the AlphaConnect 48 can be permanently connected, and one can use any of the network computers available for the configuration programming. WARNING ! ALWAYS CONNECT THE ALPHACONNECT 48 SYSTEM BEHIND A PROPERLY CONFIGURED FIREWALL. Do the following: Connect the AlphaConnect 48 and map the shared folder AlphaConnect 48 Your computer. Locate the MXconfig application and make a short cut to it on Your desktop, or make a copy of the file onto the computer from which the system maintenance is to be carried out. You can put the application under the START button or make shortcuts to it as You wish. Start the Mxconfig application and use the menu File/Open to open the mx.mcf file on the AlphaConnect 48 system. Be sure that You open the file on the AlphaConnect 48 system, as creating and editing the file located in any other place is possible, but of course does not lead to any operating results.
When using network access You must be aware of that this is NOT a multi-user system. Be sure that only one PC at a time can undertake configuration programming. Changes are not passed immediately to the AlphaConnect 48 system. When You closes the MX Configuration application, a file named mx.mnw is written onto the disk of the AlphaConnect 48 system. This is a signal to the AlphaConnect 48 CP application that alterations has been made using network access. The file is then examined by the AlphaConnect 48 system, and when changes has been accepted, Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 8
the mx.mnw file is deleted, whereupon the changes will be in use by the AlphaConnect 48 CP, reflecting new call numbers access privileges etc. Note that certain changes requires the CP to restart. This can take maximum one minute. 1.2.2 USB access The CP2 board has USB ports to which an USB disk can be connected. A key type disk of some Mbyte size is recommended. When the USB disk is inserted, the USB_UpdateAgent application running on CP2 will detect this, and examine if the mx.mnw file can be found on the disk. If this is the case, the file is copied onto the AlphaConnect 48 system. If no mx.mnw file is found, the mx.mcf file of the AlphaConnect 48 system is copied out onto the USB disk. So in order to use the USB access, do the following: 1. Insert a new USB disk key into the CP2. The system will copy the configuration file out onto the disk. 2. Insert the USB disk into a PC on which the configuration work is to be carried out. This computer must have the MX_Config.exe application on its disk. Use the configuration tool to edit the mx.mcf file on the USB disk. 3. Close the MX_Config application. 4. Insert the USB disk into the CP2. After some seconds the configuration file will be in operation. 1.2.3 Using remote desktop When the AlphaConnect 48 system has the CP2 installed, the remote desktop feature found in Windows XP can be used to startup a remote screen display. On this screen, the Mxconfig.exe application can be started and operated. Note that in this case the changes made are in operation when made. To use remote desktop the below connection data are used: Computer name: User name: Password ALPHACONNECT 48 or 192.168.000.52 Alphatron Sys1017
1.3 System installation backup

When opening a file using the Mxconfig tool, the system generates a backup file named mx.mbk. This file is only used as a 1 level undo file. In order to make a backup of Your installation programming, You need to copy the mx.mcf file onto a backup media.

2. General concepts
This chapter contains descriptions of basic AlphaConnect 48 set-up concepts. 2.1.1 Call numbers and individual descriptions All individuals, extensions, trunk lines as well as system call numbers, will hold a call number of maximum 10 digits. The call numbers can be combined from any number of ASCII characters. But for a number to be dial-able, it must only consist of the characters 0..9. Non dial-able call numbers can be used for internal connections. As an example a trunk line that must only be accessed via a User Access System, can be given the call number Trunk01.
Figure 1 All individuals of the AlphaConnect 48 physical as well as system will hold a description and a call number. 2.1.2 Service groups / ICCR checks All individuals holding a call number will also hold two Internal Connection Control Records (ICCR), each holding a list of 64 service groups in which the individual participates or not. The 64 service groups are divided into two part. The first par are devoted the control of normal internal communication to extensions and trunk lines, whereas second part is used for defining paging groups and alarm groups. the In order for a dialled up connection to be established, the two individuals that are going to connect must be included in the same service group. This check is named ICCR check and the AlphaConnect 48 processor will perform this check every time a connection is to be established. The ICCRs can be edited by the service group editor. From any individual editor, this editor is opened by the use of the buttons shown in Figure 2. The set-up window of any individuals will include these buttons, with the exception for individuals that do not make calls themselves will not include the A part service group button
Figure 2 The buttons used to open the service groups editor. The leftmost part shows an individual having the same A and B part service groups, and the rightmost part shows an individual having different A part and B part service groups. 2.1.2.1 The service group editor Figure 3 shows the service group editor:
Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 10
Figure 3 A part of the service group editor. The service groups are used to restrict users to access features of the AlphaConnect 48 system. The idea is that if a connection is to be established, then the part that makes the dialling (named A part) must, in its A part service groups, participate in the same service group as the part dialled (named B part) participates in, in its B part service groups. The service group system is also used to create paging groups and alarm call groups. This is done using the page 2 of the editor. The difference between the service groups and the paging and alarm groups is that for the paging and alarm groups, the A part is only edited when the editor shows the ICCR records of a paging or alarm call system call number, and for all other types of physical or system call numbers, only the B part ICCR record is edited. The names of the service groups are edited directly in any of the service group editors, and the names is global to the AlphaConnect 48 installation. A total number of 64 service groups can be used. In order to make an individual participate in a service group, simply click the enable check button. The main menu contains a menu item under the Edit menu to open a general service group name editor form. 2.1.2.2 Service groups explained by an example. Extension 12 shall be allowed to receive calls from Satellite line #1 but must not be allowed to make calls using this line. Figure 4 shows the service group editors implementing this restriction scheme: A and B part service groups of the satellite line:

2.1.3 System call numbers System call numbers are call numbers representing a dialled function of some kind which does not require any hardware to be operated. A good example of a system call number is the Priority dialling The user dials *, which is the default call number of this type system call. When the processor of the AlphaConnect 48 encounters that the dialled number is a Priority dialling system then it presents the caller of a new dial tone, and makes a priority call to the dialled number. The following system call numbers are in operation: Priority dial Set date and time Wake up ordering Ringing group Short number dialler Number alias Standard dialler User Account and PIN code checker (used for checking user account and PIN when using the CDM system) Paging call Call pickup Semi-duplex conference group Alarm distribution call
In order to enter a system call number, the right mouse button menu of the Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 12
telephone directory has to be used, selecting the system call number selector. Refer to chapter 4.3.2. 2.1.4 Password protection of powerful menus Two levels of user access is implemented: System administrator Technician
2.1.4.1 System administrator level This level need no entry of password. The system administrator can alter telephone numbers and access privileges. This level is for daily use. 2.1.4.2 Technician level This level requires the user to enter the password 1017. The access to all menus of the Mxconfig tool is given. The user can then change hardware configurations, renumber the full exchange etc. 2.1.4.3 Enabling the CDM system If Your AlphaConnect 48 was not delivered with the Call Data Manager system installed, the feature can be enabled using the MX Configuration tool by entering a system and feature unique password in the password dialog box. When the feature is successfully enabled, an OK box will appear. The system and feature unique password is purchased from your AlphaConnect 48 dealer. 2.1.4.4 Enabling the CTI protocol A serial protocol used to control establishment of calls from an external computer can be enabled in the same way. The system and feature unique password is purchased from your AlphaConnect 48 dealer.

Page 15
This menu is protected by password. When initiating a new physical system, the best way of starting the configuration is simply by starting the system. The AlphaConnect 48 Processor will determine which boards are present, and install default set-up data for those boards. Then the physical editor can be used to enter the editors of boards and the individuals found on these boards, based on their positions in the rack system The physical editor can be used when configuring an AlphaConnect 48 without having a physically system running. The AlphaConnect 48 concept makes 18 board slot position in two rack possible. The CP board can only be inserted in rack 1 position 1.
Figure 8 The physical AlphaConnect 48 rack editor showing 2 racks CP and a selection of boards installed. Note that the board numbering is not from the left to the right, but just forget board numbering when using the editor. 3.2.3.1 Selecting a new board type Each rack position can be configured with one of the existing board types. Figure 9 shows the right mouse pop up menu used to insert a new board. Let the mouse point to the board position where to insert a new board, right click and chose the board type from the list.

Note that this is a very powerful operation, as the old set-up data for the board location is lost, and new factory defaults are loaded. The board types and their set-up parameters will be described in the following section. 3.2.3.2 8 line analogue extension board Using the > button on the physical editor, opens the board editor for the selected board type of a rack position. The board editor for the 8 line analogue extension board is shown in Figure 10 below.
Figure 10
The editor of the 8 line extension board.
This board contains 8 individuals, which can be selected to operate either unused or as a basic analogue extension or as a AlphaConnect 210 command group unit. The editor indicates the call numbers found on the current board. The call numbers can be edited using the editor, or the full set of set-up data used by the individuals can be edited using editor opened using the > buttons. The properties form of the extension individuals can be opened from the board editor form by either double clicking on the call number or description or by pressing the > button. The properties of AlphaConnect 48 individuals are described in chapter 5. 3.2.3.2.1 Loading new board code Boards of the AlphaConnect 48 system executes their micro processor code from a flash prom. If, for any reason, you wants to load new code to a board, this can be performed at run time by checking the Load new code check box being sure that the file name box is properly filled, and the file is existing in the MX2000 directory. 3.2.3.3 2 line flexible I/O board Using the > button on the physical editor, opens the board editor for the selected board type of a rack position. The board editor for the 2 line flexible I/O board is Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20

Operating - default value - used for selecting logging of major events and information useful for the average user Debug - used for tracing errors. All errors are logged.
3.3.2.6 CP watchdog enable When clicked, the Mxprocess will pass a watchdog enable command to the power supply board, enabling the CP watchdog. When this watchdog is enabled, the Mxprocess has to kick the watchdog at least once every minute by another message send from the Mxprocess to the power supply board. If the power supply board does not receive the watchdog kick message within 1 minute, it will perform a full power down sequence. This watchdog mechanism will make the system recover from both Mxprocess program execution failure, as well at operating system break downs. 3.3.3 Renumber extensions This menu is very powerful, and therefore protected by password. You can renumber all extensions of a full exchange. Numbering will be done starting with a number specified by the user, and the order will be the physical order in which the extensions are found. 3.3.4 Clear file This menu is very powerful, and therefore protected by password. You will clear all physical board positions and install default data. 3.3.5 Mxprocess stop request This menu is selected when the Mxprocessor using the configuration file has to be stopped. When operating the MX system via network, the action will first be taken when the configuration tool is closed, and the configuration file is written to the MX system disk.
3.4 The About menu

The About menu will open the about box showing the installation identifier and serial number plus information on the revisions of code and file system. The about box is shown below in Figure 17

4. The Telephone directory

By far the most installation programming work can be undertaken from the telephone directory window. This window is shown, when starting the Mxconfig tool, as soon as a configuration file is opened. The directory is shown below in Figure 18
Figure 18 The telephone directory
4.1 Header field

The text bar just below the drag bar is used for entering the text to be used as the header of printouts. The field will by default be filled with the installation identifier (refer to 3.3.2.1) plus the text Telephone directory The user is free to enter any text.
4.2 The directory grid

The directory grid is used to display 3 collumns: The call number column, the description column and the type column. The first 2 columns can be edited directly in the string grid, whereas the type column just displays information about what kind of individual is covered by the call number and description. Double clicking an item in the string grid opens the properties editor of the individual.

4.3 The Right mouse button pop up menu

Working with the telephone directory is primarily done through the use of the right mouse button pop up menu. This menu is shown Figure 19
Figure 19 The right mouse button pop up menu of the telephone directory form. The items of this menu will be described in the following text. Note that the most powerful menu items are protected by the password. The daily user will have access only to a subset of the menu shown Figure 19 4.3.1 General directory menus 4.3.1.1 Properties menu Using this menu opens the properties editor of the individual currently selected in the directory grid. This is equal to double clicking the individual in the directory grid. The type of window opened depends on the type of AlphaConnect 48 individual selected (example: Analogue extension, Advanced trunk or short number dialler): Refer to chapter 5 for details on properties of AlphaConnect 48 individuals.

Page 26
This menu opens the service group editor of the individual selected in the directory grid. This is a short cut for opening the properties of the individual, and then opening the service group editor. 4.3.2 System call numbers System call numbers are numbers representing a dial able but not physically existing mechanism. Two menus are available for adding and deleting such call numbers. 4.3.2.1 Add system call number When using this menu, a small selection box appears. This box is shown
Figure 20 The system call selector box Click the button of the system call type to add.. This will ad one system call number to the telephone directory. To edit the properties of a system call number, then double click the call number in the directory grid, or select the row in the grid and use the right mouse button menu item Properties. Details on properties of system call numbers are given in chapter 5. The Account and PIN code check is only enabled if You have purchased and installed the Call Data Manager function. 4.3.2.2 Delete system call This menu will delete the system call number currently selected in the directory grid. 4.3.3 Sorting the telephone directory A small number of sorting mechanisms can be activated by the use of the 3 sorting menus. When first started, the telephone directory shows the call number is their physical order. This order is determined by the board positions in the AlphaConnect 48 board magazine. Systems are shown in the order they appears in the configuration file. Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20
AlphaConnect 48 Configuration Manual 4.3.3.1 Sort by call number This menu will sort the telephone directory by call number 4.3.3.2 Sort by description This menu will sort the telephone directory alphabetically by the descriptions. 4.3.3.3 Physical order This menu will restore the order to the physically order as when the telephone directory was first opened. 4.3.4 Filtering the telephone directory A versatile tool for filtering the telephone directory is available. 4.3.4.1 Show directory filter
Page 27
This menu opens the telephone directory filter form. This form is shown Figure 21
Figure 21
The telephone directory filter form
Filling items of the form will cause the telephone directory to filter it content according to the rules entered. There is a logical AND between the items of the form. The example in Figure 21 will thus show all analogue extensions with call numbers between 100 and 200 and with the description Cabin . . .. Note that the asterisk can be used for truncating the description filtering. 4.3.4.1.1 Call number range filtering The Range of numbers applies to call numbers. The user must check the Range of numbers filter and fill the two number interval boxes, in order to make the filter active. 4.3.4.1.2 Description filtering The description filter applies to the description field of the individuals. Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20
AlphaConnect 48 Configuration Manual 4.3.4.1.3 Individual type filtering
Page 28
The type filter applies to the type of AlphaConnect 48 individual. As an example: Analogue extensions, Advanced trunks or short numbers. The drop down box is used to select the type of individuals to display in the directory. 4.3.4.1.4 Service group filtering The A part ICCR filter and the B part ICCR filter must be edited by opening the A or B part filter form using the Edit filter button. When changing the service group filters, the Apply filter button must be used in order to be sure that the filtering has been performed. 4.3.4.2 Will connect from This menu is used to get a quick view of individuals of the AlphaConnect 48 that can connect to the currently selected individual in the telephone directory. As an example one can, in the telephone directory grid, select a trunk line representing the connection to a satellite terminal. Then use the Will connect from menu item which will make the telephone directory display all call numbers that has their service group setting set so that they can dial out on the trunk line. 4.3.4.3 Can connect to As the above menu, this menu is used to make the telephone directory display the individuals that can be connected from the currently selected individual. After using the Can connect to menu, the filter form can be used to perform further filtering. As an example you can select extension 100 then use the Can connect to menu. This will make the telephone directory display all call numbers that extension 100 can connect to. Then you can use the filter form and, as an example, select the Advanced trunk type in the type filter box. This will make the telephone directory display all advanced trunks that can be connected from extension 100. 4.3.5 Printing and exporting the telephone directory Two menus are available for exporting the directory either to a file or to a printer. 4.3.5.1 Print The print menu will send the currently displayed telephone directory to the printer. Note that it is always what is currently displayed in the directory that will be printed. This means that filtering can be used to make printouts of selected call numbers. The header of the printed pages can be selected by the user by entering text in the header filed found above the telephoned directory grind. As an example you can use the filter form to extract all analogue extensions, then use the sort by description to make the telephone directory display the extensions in alphabetically order, then enter the text Telephone directory of M/S Nordlys in the header box. Then use the print menu. 4.3.5.2 Export to ASCII file The directory displayed in the directory grid can be exported to a comma separated ascii file. The file may look like:

Figure 22 The exported directory when imported into an excel sheet 4.3.6 Copy extension settings When many extensions are to share the same settings, an effective way to set the parameters for these extensions is to configure one extension, and then copy the settings to all the other extension going to have same settings. To copy the settings of an extension, select it on the number table grid. Then use the right mouse button to select the Copy extension settings menu. Selecting the menu will open two forms: the copy extensions parameter form and the general directory filter form. The first form is used to select which parameters are to be copied. Most often copying the call number has no great meaning, but copying the description such as passenger cabin can be convenient. 4 levels are available:
Figure 23 The copy extensions parameter form Check the include all other settings to copy all data that are not description, call number or service group settings. The directory filter form are opened to give the possibility of choosing which extensions are receiving the settings. Use the filter box before pressing OK in the copy extensions parameter box. The extensions shown in the directory are the extensions receiving data. Create a test file in order to familiarize with the copying function before using it on a real data file.

5. Properties of AlphaConnect 48 individuals

This chapter holds descriptions of the configuration of individuals of the AlphaConnect 48. The chapter includes both physically individuals such as extensions and trunk lines and system call individuals such as short number system and priority calls. The properties editors of individuals can be opened either from the physical editor form, typically done when making the first time system programming, and from the telephone directory form, typically done when maintaining the system.
5.1 Basic analogue extension

Using the > buttons on the 8 line extension board editor opens the Basic analogue extension editor. This editor is shown in Figure 24
Figure 24
The Basic analogue extension editor
5.1.1 Description, Call number and Privileges These items are standard individual items found on all AlphaConnect 48 individuals The call number field contains the call number to be used by the individual. Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window contains 2 buttons for opening the A part and the B part service groups. If the B part = A part check button is checked, only the A part editor can be opened, and the contents of the B part will be a copy of the A part. 5.1.2 Equipment type This check box is used to set the type of equipment connected to the extension line. The information is used when making outgoing call via an ISDN channel. The default setting is Voice. Selecting data and fax can avoid data compression being performed on fax or modem signals via ISDN trunk line.

AlphaConnect 48 Configuration Manual 5.1.3 Display
Page 31
A display can be present at the telephone equipment connected. This display can be used for displaying caller number, caller name and time. Passing data from the AlphaConnect 48 system to the telephone can be done using 2 protocols DTMF or FSK. The DTMF protocol will transmit data to the telephone line using standard dial tones, whereas the FSK uses a 1200 bit/sec 1300 / 2100 Hz modem type frequency shift keying protocol. Choosing FSK has 2 levels. FSK will select the transmission of caller number, caller name and time upon every call to the extension. Choosing FSK time update will do the same, but also allow time updates to be send from AlphaConnect 48. Time updates are send whenever anyone successfully uses the Set date and time call numbers. 5.1.4 Dial on hook off The window Dial on off hook is used when you want the extension to connect directly to a call number whenever it is hooked off (handset lifted). 5.1.5 Loop disconnect dial Enables the loop disconnect = pulse dial method used wit old telephone sets. 2 types of decoding are possible, Swedish or International. The difference is the count of disconnects that signals the zero digit. 5.1.6 No hook detect while ringing Normally not enabled. If the system has to drive heavy loaded extension lines (6 10 telephone sets or 2 5 old bell type telephone sets) this feature can be selected. When the system sends the 80 V AC ringing signal to the line, normally hookoff is detected also during the ringing signal period. But when the line is heavy loaded, hookoff can erroneously be detected. To prevent this, click this box.
5.2 AlphaConnect 210 Command Group Unit

When an individual of an analogue extension board is chosen to be a AlphaConnect 210 command group unit, the below properties form can be opened by pressing the > key at the 8 line extension board form, or by double clicking the call number in the number table grid. The CG unit properties box is shown in Figure 25.

Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window contains 2 buttons for opening the A part and the B part service groups. If the B part = A part check button is checked, only the A part editor can be opened, and the contents of the B part will be a copy of the A part. 5.2.2 Dial on PTT and buttons pressed The AlphaConnect 210 unit has 5 push buttons. When the unit is in idle, pressing one of these buttons starts a connection sequence calling the numbers put into the 5 boxes. Typically the Button1 (which is the red button at the front of the AlphaConnect 210) is programmed to call the bridge. Anyone pressing the button at the AlphaConnect 210 will then be connected to the bridge telephone. 5.2.3 No hook detect while ringing Normally not enabled. If the system has to drive heavy loaded extension lines (6 10 telephone sets or 2 5 old bell type telephone sets) this feature can be selected. When the system sends the 80 V AC ringing signal to the line, normally hookoff is detected also during the ringing signal period. But when the line is heavy loaded, hookoff can erroneously be detected. To prevent this, click this box.
5.3 AlphaConnect 310 Command panel

When an individual of an analogue extension board is chosen to be a command panel, the below properties form can be opened by pressing the > key at the 8 line extension board form, or by double clicking the call number in the number table grid. Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20

If the B part = A part check button is checked, only the A part editor can be opened, and the contents of the B part will be a copy of the A part. 5.3.2 Call tables 4 tab sheets are available for configuring what is below the 10 group select buttons of the AlphaConnect 310: Modeless calls Public address calls Command group calls Alarm calls
5.3.2.1 Modeless calls table This table is used when no mode is selected prior to a call made from the AlphaConnect 310. The call type set up will depend upon what is selected.
Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 34
Figure 27 below shows an example where the keys 1..5 buttons are used for PA groups, the keys 6..9 are used for command groups, and the key 0 is used for an alarm.
Figure 27 The modeless calls table. In the modeless table all types of calls can be inserted, but only if an unambiguous selection is made a call can be established. Valid selections are: One or more PA groups One or more command units (AlphaConnect 210) and or semi duplex conference groups holding AlphaConnect 210 members. One single alarm group One single call of any other type (extension, audio out, short number etc.
When more than one PA group is selected prior to a PA call, a logical OR is used to add the groups to a large group covering all selected zones. When calls of AlphaConnect 210 units or semi duplex conference groups are made, a semi duplex conference call is set up. In order for this to work, he Semiduplex conference call box of the Command calls tap page must be configured properly with the call of a semi duplex conference group, which must be manually added to the call number table using the Add system call menu.

Page 35
If the mode Public address is selected prior to call establishment, the PA calls table is used for selection. This table is shown below in Figure 28
Figure 28. The PA calls table.
5.3.2.3 Command Calls If the mode Command is selected prior to call establishment, the Command calls table is used for selection. This table is shown below in Figure 29 In the Command table, call numbers of single AlphaConnect 210 units can be entered, and call numbers of semi-duplex conference groups addressing AlphaConnect 210 unit can be added. When a call is established, all keys that represent single AlphaConnect 210 units are decoded first. Then if any semi-duplex conference groups are selected, the AlphaConnect 210 members of these groups will be included in the command call until a maximum of 10 units are included. The call is always established as a semi-duplex command conference call. The field Semiduplex conference call MUST hold the call number of a semi-duplex conference call, which manually has to be installed. The direct in property of this system call is used. NOTE! The Semiduplex conference call must be configured properly for the Command calls to operate in modeless calls too.

AlphaConnect 48 Configuration Manual 5.4.1 Description, Call number and Privileges
Page 38
These items are standard individual items found on all AlphaConnect 48 individuals The call number field contains the call number to be used by the individual. Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window on the General tab page contains 2 buttons for opening the A part and the B part service groups. If the B part = A part check button is checked, only the A part editor can be opened, and the contents of the B part will be a copy of the A part. 5.4.2 Trunk group This item is used for stating the type of the trunk. This is used by the AlphaConnect 48 when calculating the price of a call via the trunk. All trunks sharing the same group name will share the same charge calculation values. Refer to the AlphaConnect 48 Call Data Manager manual. 5.4.3 Equipment type This field is used to select special handling of equipment connected. Check the Sailor Iridium if this type equipment is connected, in order to handle outgoing DTMF recognition problems with this terminal. 5.4.4 Incoming calls handling How the trunk line handles incoming calls can be determined by altering the set-up items of the Incoming tab page. This page can be viewed in
Figure 32
The analogue trunk editor displaying the Incoming tab page
5.4.4.1 Incoming mode The incoming mode window gives 3 possibilities: Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20
AlphaConnect 48 Configuration Manual Incoming calls are ignored
Page 39
Incoming calls are routed using the call numbers shown in the Routing list window Incoming calls will be faced with a new dial tone for a period equal to the general dial time out, during the period of which the caller can make sub-dialling to a AlphaConnect 48 local number. If the caller does not make any sub-dialling, the Routing list will be used.
Hookoff when routing When this box is not clicked, the hook relay of the trunk line will remain open as long as the routing is going on. When anyone answers the routing (B answer), the hook relay will immediately be activated in order to connect the line. When clicked, the hook relay will be activated during the hunting period. Delay before handling incoming call When equipment are connected in parallel with the trunk line, it can be useful to delay the handling of incoming calls in order to wait for the paralleled equipment to answer. Enter a delay time in seconds in order to include such a delay. 5.4.4.2 Incoming routing list 5 call numbers can be entered into the Incoming routing list. An incoming call will try to connect to the first item of the list, if no conversation is encountered within the time-out period stated in the time-out box, the next call number will be tried out. When all call numbers of the list is used, the incoming call will be disconnected. A typically time-out waiting for the extension to answer a call is 30 seconds. 5.4.5 Outgoing calls How outgoing calls are handled can be determined by altering the set-up items found on the Outgoing tab page. This is shown in Figure 33
Rev. 1 2006-02-20
AlphaConnect 48 Configuration Manual Figure 33 The Analogue trunk editor displaying the Outgoing tab page.
Page 40
5.4.5.1 Prefix dialling The Prefix dialling window contains digits to be dialled just after the line hooks off. If no number is entered here, the Prefix dialling is disabled. If the "Wait for dial tone", is checked, the dialling will start as soon as a dial tone is detected from the line. If the Audio mute is checked, audio from the line will be muted while the prefix dialling is in progress, so that the calling extension will not hear the dialling. Prefix dialling can be used, as an example, if the line is a satellite line, and you wish to use a predefined land earth station. These digits can be used to dial the access code for this predetermined earth station. 5.4.5.2 B-answer mode This window contains information of how to detect the outgoing B answer. This is a very important set-up, as the B answer is used a the start signal for time counting in turn used for charge calculation of outgoing calls. 3 modes can be selected: No ringing tone. The call progress tone decoder of the line will be used to detect the ringing tone. This tone will, on most telephone systems, be heard when the B part telephone is ringing. The B answer is detected when this tone is no longer detected. Make sure to set the time-out to a sensible value, as this B-answer mode may fail due to line quality, tone quality, tone frequencies etc. Polarity reversal. The line feed detector is used to check if a line feed reversal is detected. This is the most safe type of B answer mode, but requires that the line connected has the ability to reverse the line feed on B answer. If no line feed reversal is encountered, B answer will be declared based on the time-out. Timed only. Checking this button will hand over the B answer detection to the time-out only.
5.4.5.3 Release on no B number When a call is made via an advanced trunk, digits to the line are send directly from the DTMF keyboard of the extension making the call. The audio tones from this A part telephone passes directly out onto the trunk line. In order to collect the digits dialled, the DTMF receiver of the FIO board is used. When the dial time-out expires, all the B digits collected will be stored as the destination B number, which in turn is used by the charge calculation. Check the Release on no B number if the A extensions shall be disconnected if no digits are dialled at all. 5.4.6 Advanced options A number of hardware set-up data are found on the Advanced tab page. This is shown in

Page 42
The flexible input output hardware (FIO) found on the flexible I/O board is capable of having the gain in and gain out set by software. The gain values are passed to the hardware every time the line enters idle. Receive and transmit gain can be set using the radio buttons of the Advanced tab page. 5.4.6.2 Line feed detector The Line feed detect window is used to program the behaviour of the line feed detector. The valid time states how long time a new line feed situation must be stable before it is really used for any actions. Normally the line feed detect is used to set the line in a blocked state, preventing it from being used for any calls, whenever the line feed is not present. If this feature is not desired, check the No line feed block. 5.4.6.3 Call progress tone detector The advanced trunk line makes use of the call progress detector (CPD). Check the Busy tone disconnect, if the trunk line is to hang up when a busy tone is decoded for a period exceeding the Time out value. This feature will prevent a hanging line if, for example, the A part extension making an outgoing call, fails to make a proper hook on after terminating a conversation. 5.4.6.4 Call DTMF tone lengths The lengths of the DTMF tones generated by the FIO hardware can be set using the two boxes in the DTMF window. NOTE ! This does not change the lengths of the digits dialled directly from extension telephones, as these tones are generated by the DTMF transmitter of these telephones.
5.5 Audio In/Out

Using the > buttons on the 2 line flexible I/O board at an individual position selected to operate as an Audio In/Out opens the Audio in/out editor. This editor is shown in Figure 35

Clicking the Disconnect on no signal makes the Audio In/Out terminate the call when the ear signal is no longer present. If this is not enabled, the conversation can only be terminated either by timeout or by the individual receiving the call. 5.5.2.2 Mouth relay control The Audio In/Out can acknowledge actions by closing the mouth releay. Refer to the manual AlphaConnect 48 Technical Manual for detail of how to connect the Audio In/Out. Clicking the Pulse when seized will make the Audio In/Out close the relay for a short time (approx 1 second) as soon as the incoming call is in progress. Clicking Close when seized will make the Audio In/Out close the relay as soon as the incoming call is in progress. This overrides the above pulse setting. Clicking Close when connected will make the Audio In/Out close the relay as soon as a conversation is established i.e. B-answer is obtained. The relay will always open when the incoming call is terminated. 5.5.2.3 Audio enable Use this box to enable audio incoming and outgoing depending on your need for the special application.

Checking the Ignore ear input makes the Audio In/Out connect directly when a seizure is made from an extension. Checking the Connect on ear signal makes the Audio In/Out waiting for the ear signal to be present before connecting an outgoing call. Checking the Disconnect on no signal makes the Audio In/Out terminate the outgoing conversation as soon as the ear signal is not present. If this box is not clicked, the conversation can only be terminated by the extension calling the Audio In/Out. 5.5.3.3 Audio enable and multiple listeners (Radio / music / VHF listening) Use this box to enable audio incoming and outgoing depending on your need for the special application. Clicking the Multiple listeners check box will make the Audio In/Out accessible for more than one listener. The first extension dialling the Audio In/Out will be connected as if no multiple listening is enabled. The ear and mouth relay control is in use as selected. If another extension dials the Audio In/Out, this extension will be connected as listener only. The audio input to the Audio In/Out can then be heard by both extensions. There is no limit in the number of listeners. The Audio In/Out will disconnect the call when all listeners has terminated the listening. This feature is used for radio, music or VHF listening. 5.5.3.4 Connection time limit Use this box if a time limit is to be set on outgoing calls. 5.5.4 Advanced options The audio gain settings are found on the Advanced tab page.

5.6 ISD30 primary rate interface

The Figure 39 below shows the configuration form of the ISDN30 board opened from the physical editor.
Figure 39 ISDN30 set-up 5.6.1 Incoming call set-up Set-up of incoming calls are global to all 30 individuals of one ISDN30 board. Incoming routing can be base upon the digits dialled by the caller to reach the AlphaConnect 48 system, or it can be base on the contents of a routing list, or it can be based on digits send to the ISDN30 individual after reporting incoming call. 5.6.1.1 Called number based routing The digits dialled to reach the AlphaConnect 48 are reported from the ISND network. The set-up gives 4 possible ways of handling these digits: Ignoring Making a full compare to the number in the called number digit mask and when matching, connection to the number found in the connect field of the table will be tried out. Making a compare to the number in the called number digit mask excluding the 2 or 3 last digits, which when matching are used to call a local call number. Example: called number is 70178733 and the mode is set to connect last 2 digits, then the incoming call will be connected to local call number 33.
5.6.1.2 Routing list When an incoming call is received, and no match can be found in the list of called number digit masks, then the ISDN Trunk waits for 8 seconds for digits to be send to the individual from the network. These digits are dialled into the AlphaConnect 48 system as any other dialling. If no match is found or no digits are send, the incoming Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 48
call will be routed to the call numbers found in the routing list. The number called will be ringing for the period determined by the Ringing time field. 5.6.1.3 Incoming service groups Each line of the incoming table is assigned its own service groups, to which an editor can be opened by selecting the row of the table and then choosing the Service groups menu item from the right mouse button pop up menu. The uppermost line, which by default is set to the mode: use routing table, covers the incoming service groups used by the routing table handling. 5.6.2 Individuals set-up The Figure 40 below shows the set-up form of a single ISDN Trunk individual.
Figure 40 Configuring an individual of an ISDN30 board. Setting up an individual has only effect for outgoing calls. 5.6.2.1 Own number The Own number field holds the digits sent to the network as Aparty call number when making outgoing calls. These digits can either be a fixed set of digits, or it can be combined with the local call number of the extension dialling. Click Add local call number to achieve this function. 5.6.2.2 Outgoing prefix A prefix can be send out onto the line. Fill the digits always to be dialled before any other digits dialled into the Prefix box. IF the Add local call n umber is checked, the A part call number is added to the prefix.
Rev. 1 2006-02-20
AlphaConnect 48 Configuration Manual 5.6.2.3 Call type
Page 49
The call type can be set to en block or overlapped. In en block calls, the number is collected until timeout or # is pressed. In overlapped calling, digits are send one by one.
5.7 Priority call

Installing a priority call system, gives the users of the AlphaConnect 48 system the possibility of making priority calls. Priority calls are made by first dialling the call number of the priority call system. The AlphaConnect 48 system will then present a new dial tone to the caller, which enables the caller to make a priority call.
Figure 41 below shows the editor for the Priority call system.
Figure 41 The Priority call set up window. 5.7.1 Description, Call number and Privileges These items are standard individual items found on all AlphaConnect 48 individuals The call number field contains the call number to be used by the individual. Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window contains a button for opening the B part service groups. Use the service groups to restrict the access to priority calling. 5.7.2 Enables When clicking the ICCR check before connecting, the priority calls can only be made between call numbers sharing the same service group. I.e. only extensions that will connect using standard dialling will connect. When the ICCR check before connecting is not clicked, the priority dial will override service groups programming, and connection between extensions that will normally not connect can be made. I.e.

3. Ordering a wake-up call repeated at the same time of the day for a number of days To implement all 3 functions it will be necessary to install 3 wake up call numbers, each taking care of one of the 3 functions. The digit format of order wake up is HHMM
5.12 User account and PIN-code checker

When the Call Data Management system is to be used for implementing the user account and PIN code dialling on outgoing lines, a User account and PIN-code checker system must be
installed. Figure 46 shows the User Access System editor.
Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 54
Figure 46
The User Access System editor
The dial sequence when using this type of outgoing call is: 1. Dial the User Access System (default call number #10) 2. Dial Your user account number (typically 2 digits) 3. Dial Your PIN code (typically 4 digits) Access is given to one of 10 trunk lines 5.12.1 Description, Call number and Privileges These items are standard individual items found on all AlphaConnect 48 individuals The call number field contains the call number to be used by the system. Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window contains a buttons for opening the B part service group editor. The service groups can be used to restrict the access to the dial service implemented by the system. 5.12.2 User data format This window hold information of how many digits shall be collected for the user account number and the user pin code. The lengths must match the lengths used in the MX2000 user data base. Refer to the manual AlphaConnect 48 Call Data Manager. Check the Dial tone before --- check box in order to present the dialler to a dial tone before either the account number and / or the PIN code. 5.12.3 Call number list This window contains a list of 10 call numbers to which the User Access System shall route the call. This must be the call numbers of Advanced analogue trunks in order to make the call data processing operate. Whenever a user has dialled an account Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 55
number and a PIN code that is checked positively against the MX2000 user data base, the list will come into use as a list of trunk lines, extensions etc. that the user is now given access to. The use of this list can either be first free or it can be round going. First free can be used when a kind of least cost routing is desired, placing the call numbers of the cheapest trunk line at the top position. If the ICCR check is checked, the A part will be checked to have privileges to the selected trunk line before connecting.
5.13 Set date and time system

The AlphaConnect 48 system includes the possibility of programming a call number to be the point of adjusting the date and time of the system. Date and time is used when logging call data, and when performing the wake up calls.
Figure 47 Configuration of the data and time adjustment call number 5.13.1 Description, Call number and Privileges These items are standard individual items found on all AlphaConnect 48 individuals The call number field contains the call number to be used by the individual. Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window contains a button for opening the B part service groups. Use the service groups to restrict the access to the date and time programming call. 5.13.2 Collect and set This pane is used to select what will happen when a call to the number is made. When the Date is checked the system will await the caller to enter YYYYMMDD. When the Time is checked the system will await the user to enter HHMM. The Distribute time after call shall be checked if the system has FSK receiving telephones displaying date and time. When the call to the Date and time programming is terminated successfully, the AlphaConnect 48 will start distributing the time to all extensions, and free extensions will receive the time using an FSK transmission.
5.14 Ringing group

The ringing group is used when more than one telephone has to be ringing when dialling only one telephone number. This can be used, as an example, for incoming calls, where up to 10 extensions shall be able to answer the call. Another example: Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 56
the work shop of the electrician has call number 11, the engine work shop has call number 12, and the engine control room has call number 12. These telephones can be grouped as engine room and call all together by dialling call number 10. This example is shown in Figure 48.
Figure 48

5.14.1 Description, Call number and Privileges These items are standard individual items found on all AlphaConnect 48 individuals. The call number field contains the call number to be used by the individual. Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window contains a button for opening the B part service groups. Use the service groups to restrict the access to the ringing group. 5.14.2 Call number list This window contains the 10 call numbers which are to be included in the ringing group. Only extensions can be a part of a ringing group. Clicking the ICCR check before will make the AlphaConnect 48 check that the call number to be connected participates in at least one of the same service groups, otherwise the call number is skipped. 5.14.3 Connect busy members getting free while ringing If an extension is busy when a ringing group is activated, the activation process will skip the extension. Ringing will only be send to non busy extensions. This is the case when the checkbox connect busy members getting free while ringing is not checked. When checking the checkbox connect busy members getting free while ringing, extensions, belonging to a ringing group which is currently active ringing, will receive ringing if it gets free during the group ringing, and can be the extension answering the ringing group.

5.15 Call pickup

Call pickup is used when a user want to take over a call to another extension. An example can be an incoming call which is directed to a cabin close by. The user can hear the telephone ringing. Then the call pickup number can be dialled, and the incoming call is connected as if the telephone making the call pickup was the ringing telephone. Ringing groups can be picked up. The call pickup set up is shown in Figure 49.
Figure 49 The call pickup system editor. 5.15.1 Description, Call number and Privileges These items are standard individual items found on all AlphaConnect 48 individuals The call number field contains the call number to be used by the individual. Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window contains a button for opening the B part service groups. Use the service groups to restrict the access to the call pickup. 5.15.2 Pickup mode This pane is used for selecting types of calls to pick up. When using the Pickup from list only, pickup is only performed if the ringing extension or the extension or trunk line making the call is found in the Call number list. When choosing the Collect pickup number, the user has to enter the call number of the calling or the called party.
5.16 Paging call

Paging call is used when activating the AlphaConnect 110, AlphaConnect 120 or AlphaConnect 210 units for an acoustic paging call. Many paging calls having different properties can be programmed, and several paging calls can be conducted simultaneously. Paging and alarm calls share the same group selection mechanism and shares the priority structure implemented. Alphatron Marine B.V. Rev. 1 2006-02-20

5.16.1 Description, Call number and Privileges These items are standard individual items found on all AlphaConnect 48 individuals The call number field contains the call number to be used by the individual. Max 10 digits or characters can be entered. The privileges window contains a button for opening the B part service groups. Use the service groups to restrict the paging call.
5.16.2 Paged service groups The service group system is used to create paging groups. The A part service groups of the Paging call system is used for assigning a group, and the B part service groups of the extensions going to participate must be set for the same service group. In order for simplicity, one page of the service group editor is devoted paging and alarm calls service groups. Choosing this page for implementing the paging groups is recommended although not necessary. A timeout can be set so a paging call will not hang for a long time. 5.16.3 Priority The paging call can be assigned a priority level. When extensions participating in a paging call receives a paging or alarm call with a higher priority, the extension will switch over to the higher priority paging or alarm call. The priorities are as follows:
Rev. 1 2006-02-20
Page 59
Priority Highest of all
Alarm or paging call Paging call high priority Paging call medium priority Alarm call high priority Alarm call medium priority Alarm call low priority
Lowest of all
Paging call low priority
It is possible to select interrupt busy extensions. This causes ongoing conversations to be temporarily broken by the paging call. When the paging call ends, the conversation is re-established. Setting Max volume will cause the paging call to override possible volume settings in the bed side speaker panel. Speaker panels can be used for listening to music during which it can be desirable to reduce the volume. If a high priority paging call has the Max volume clicked, the attenuation will be disabled during the paging call. 5.16.4 Attention sound (Gong) When making an acoustic paging, it can be convenient to call on attention before sending the spoken message. This can be done by choosing one of the gong sounds available. The gong will sound for 2 seconds.
5.17 Alarm distribution call

An alarm call system call number is used when activating the AlphaConnect 110, AlphaConnect 120 or AlphaConnect 210 units for an alarm paging call. Many alarm calls having different properties can be programmed, and several alarm calls can be conducted simultaneously. NOTE ! There is only on alarm generator on each extension board. Alarm calls and paging calls share the same group selection mechanism and shares the priority structure implemented. The alarm call set up is shown in Figure 51

The A part service groups of the alarm call system is used for assigning a group, and the B part service groups of the extensions going to participate must be set for the same service group. In order for simplicity, one page of the service group editor is devoted paging and alarm calls service groups. Choosing this page for implementing the paging groups is recommended although not necessary. A timeout can be set so an alarm call will not hang forever. Set to zero if no timeout is wanted. 5.17.3 Alarm type selection The alarm call can be chosen to send one out of 7 alarm signals: Alarm type Continuous tone Tone following input Description A steady tone is sounded Tone sounding when line is shorted, silence when line is open. When line is open for more than 5 seconds, the call is terminated Tone on / off Repeated forever.

The alarm type Tone follow input is used when an external equipment has to control the tone pattern. The 2 wires of the extension line used as alarm generator is connected to the dry relay contacts of the master alarm system. When the relay is closed, the extension must be set up to call the alarm number representing the Tone follow input alarm call. The alarm call will be set up, and tone is send to the alarm group as long as the relay stays closed. When the relay is opened, the tone is stopped. If the relay stays open for more than the timeout period of 5 seconds, the alarm call be stopped. 5.17.4 Priority The alarm call can be assigned a priority level. When extensions participating in an alarm call receives a paging or alarm call with a higher priority, the extension will switch over to the higher priority paging or alarm call. The priorities are as follows: Priority Highest of all Alarm or paging call Paging call high priority Paging call medium priority Alarm call high priority Alarm call medium priority Alarm call low priority Lowest of all Paging call low priority
Alarm calls will always interrupt busy extensions, and the local volume setting of the AlphaConnect 110 will be overridden.
5.18 Semi-duplex conference call

The semi-duplex conference call is used when a conference with up to 11 members (including the initiator) is to be set up. The primary use of this call is to group AlphaConnect 210 command group units in a command group to be used when performing certain tasks on board. If a job requires 4 positions on board to be manned, and communication to these positions to be set up, the Figure 52 below shows how to make a set up.

Use the service groups to restrict the access to the command group. 5.18.2 Conference members There is two ways of selecting the members of the conference. The members can be listed in the conference members list or the members can be set up based upon dialling from the initiator. When the Use table of conference members is checked, the list will be used. When the Collect conference members is checked, the list will disappear, and members are selected by the initiator. Refer to the manual AlphaConnect 48 End User Manual. For the use of the conference system. 5.18.3 Mode The mode selection is used to select how the AlphaConnect 210 behaves when receiving the conference call. When the Speech after answer is checked, the station joining the group will gain the right to speak when answering. If the Speech after answer is not checked, the AlphaConnect 210 unit joining the conference will be connected as a listener after answering the call. When the Direct in is checked, the AlphaConnect 210 unit will be commanded to answer the call automatically, giving the possibility of setting up a command group without any user actions necessary at the AlphaConnect 210 location. If the Direct in is not checked, the AlphaConnect 210 will continue to ring until the conference call is answered by pressing a button on the unit. *Direct in with speech after answer checked can set up a listening call from the initiating telephone Refer to the manual AlphaConnect 48 End User Manual. For the use of the conference system.
