Introduction PI Reference Manual

General Description

The Program Interface (PI) is a detailed, menu-driven, interface system for programming the Coral System. It also provides access to the diagnostic facilities contained within the system software.

The PI can be accessed through any of the following types of connecting devices: • video display data terminal• keyboard send/receive (KSR) printer data terminal• a data terminal and modem• PC with VT emulator• PC with CoralVIEW Designer (CVD)• PC with CoralVIEW Administrator (CVA)• PC via Telnet Terminal Emulation (reqires STIP, MAP or LIU)

An additional PI function allows saving and restoring the entire database contents to a binary disk file, using a personal computer (PC) and save/restore software.

Backups are also updated to the IMC-8/16 or CFD flash memory cards. See Database Control: Disk (FlexiCom 6000, IPx 4000) beginning on page 21-5. See Database Control: FLASH (IPx Office, FlexiCom 200,300,400,5000, IPx 500,800,3000) beginning on page 21-12.

In the Coral FlexiCom 400,5000,6000 and Coral IPx 800, 3000,4000 the PI data terminal is connected to the Coral through one of the three RS-232 interfaces on the RMI card (RS-232C) or 8DRCM/ 8DRCF card (RS-232E) at the cable pinouts on the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) or through the internal modem interface on the card. One RS-232E interface is provided at the front panel of the MEX-IP2, or MCP-ATS card in the Common Control (see Figure 1-1).

In the Coral IPx Office Main Unit the PI is connected to one RS-232E interface. One KB0 is provided at the front side of the Coral IPx Office. Additionally, the PI can be connected through an internal modem (KB4) located on the U-RMI Office or RMI Office card.

For Coral IPx Office Systems with optional IPx 800X expansion unit the PI data terminal is connected to the Coral through one of the three interfaces (KB5,6,7) on the RMI card (RS-232C), or 8DRCM/8DRCF card (RS-232E) at the cable pinouts on the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) or through the internal modem interface (KB8) on the card.

In the Coral IPx 500M Main Unit the PI is connected to one of four RS-232E interfaces. One KB0 is provided at the front side of the MCP-IPx2 card. Another three interface connectors, KB1, KB2 and KB3 are provided at the upper left side at the auxiliary I/O entry of the main cage (MSBipx card). Additionally, the PI can be connected through an internal modem (KB4) located on the MSBipx card.

For Coral IPx 500 Systems with optional IPx 800X expansion unit the PI data terminal is connected to the Coral through one of the three interfaces (KB5,6,7) on the RMI card (RS-232C), or 8DRCM/8DRCF card (RS-232E) at the cable pinouts on the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) or through the internal modem interface (KB8) on the card.

Multiple but simultaneous, independent PI sessions from different monitors are possible, though this practice is not recommended.

Access to the PI is restricted to trained and qualified technicians. Uncertified personnel can unknowingly cause serious damage to the communication system database.

The terminal or printer displays Coral-generated prompts (questions, instructions, options, etc.) in plain English; the programmer can make an entry, skip to the next prompt, or exit the programming function. The various card functions can be accessed using a written command, e.g. NPL to “jump” directly to the Numbering Plan or accessed stepwise, e.g. (0,0,5).

Entries are made using a standard keyboard; the keyboard DELETE (not BACKSPACE) key is used on most terminals to erase incorrect characters.

Entries are displayed as they are keyed. Changes entered, take effect in “real time”; i.e., as soon as the ENTER key is pressed, the change is entered into the system memory, and immediately takes effect.

PI Terminal Device

The Program Interface (PI) terminal device should be either an asynchronous, ASCII video display data terminal, a Personal Computer (PC) with terminal emulator software, a KSR printer equipped with a serial interface (RS-232E), a Bell 103/212A/V.90 compatible data modem (see Table 1-1 below). Either one of two popular video display terminal emulations are supported for character attributes, cursor positioning and screen refresh. If the video display terminal connected to the Coral system does not emulate one of the two supported emulations, or a portable data printer is used instead of a video display terminal, use the Printer definition in Terminal Setup beginning on page 17-11. The Modem setup definition is described in the same branch.

To use the “SNAP” (real time display) functions available in some programming areas, the PI device must emulate a Digital Equipment Corporation VT-100 or a Qume Corporation QVT-101. This function is not essential for programming; however, it is beneficial when the PI device is also used for system diagnostics.

While the PI terminal device communication specifications may be altered, the default values listed in the above table, default upon first initialization, and must be used in order to initially enter the Coral system programming interface. Afterwards they may be changed.

Hardware Setup

The PI terminal device can be connected to:• Telnet Terminal Emulation via a MAP card• Telnet Terminal Emulation via an LIU card• An RS-232 type interface on the system; KB0 in all Coral systems, and KB1,

KB2, KB3 in IPx 500 systems or to the RMI/8DRCM/8DRCF internal modem.

All features and functions are available through either connection.

Telnet Terminal Emulation via a MAP ConnectionThe MAP card (IP port 11010) offers integrated Coral system IP connectivity

• Faster and more reliable connections than the serial RS-232 connections or even the LIU IP connections

• Up to four concurrent users can connect via the same TCP/IP network socket.

In the Coral IPx Office the MAP card is embedded as a software only application on the MCB Office (main board of the Coral IPx Office).

In the Coral IPx 500 the MAP card is installed on the MCP-IPx2 main control processor card.

In the Coral IPx 800,3000 and FlexiCom 400,5000 the MAP card is installed on the MEX-IP2 main control processor card.

Telnet Terminal Emulation via an LIU ConnectionThe LIU card (IP port 11001) enables the MCP-IPx2 and the MEX-IP2 main contprocessor card to communicate with the PI via the RJ-45 LAN connector. Withoucommunication via the RJ-45 connector cannot take place, and all interaction with the PI must occur via the KB0 RS-232 port (unless a MAP card is installed. When a MAP card is installed, communication via the RJ-45 connector can take place and the LIU card is redundant).

The LIU card translates the RS-232 protocol used by the KB0 to the IP protocol. In order for the LIU to function, it is necessary to move DIP switch #1 on the front panel of the MCP-IPx2 and the MEX-IP2 cards to the left and do one of the following. (See Figure 1-1):

• To connect the RJ-45 port to the LAN, connect an ordinary cable between the RJ-45 port and the LAN outlet.

• To connect the RJ-45 port directly to a workstation, connect a cross-over cable between the RJ-45 port and the workstation.

1-5


On-Site RS-232 ConnectionThe PI terminal is connected to the MEX-IP2/MCP-IPx2/MCP-ATS/Coral IPx Office front panel DB9 connector, KB0. Note that the connector is wired as a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device. Verify that electrical connections between the KB0 port and PI terminal reflect a DTE to DTE or Null Modem connection.

Many video display terminals require only the Transmit Data (Tx), Receive Data (Rx) and Signal Ground conductors to be connected between the PI terminal device and the KB0/KB1 or 8DRCM/8DRCF/RMI serial data port. The Qume QVT-101 terminal requires that the Clear to Send conductor be active or high (+3 to +12Vdc) to display received data. Figure 1-2 shows the connections for using a standard PC (COM1 or COM2) with the KB0 interface.Figure 1-3 shows the connections for using a VT-100 or Qume QVT-101 with the KB0 interface.

Some portable data printer terminals require that one or more status conductors (e.g. Carrier Detect or Clear to Send) of the terminal be high, active, or asserted for the terminal to be on-line or in a communications mode. The Request to Send and Data Terminal Ready conductors of the KB0 connector are kept high and may be connected to conductors of the terminal device for this purpose. If the terminal device appears unresponsive after it is connected to the Coral, consult the manufacturer’s operating manual in order to determine if the selected terminal device required any status conductor to be active.

Remote ConnectionsRemote connections are made by connecting the PI terminal device to a modem and establishing a voice call from the remote terminal modem to the Coral Modem.

Coral IPx Office system requires the installation of a U-RMI Office or RMI Office card to accommodate remote access, or the installation of an external, customer provided modem to the KB0 interface.

Coral IPx 500 system is equipped with a built in modem.

Coral FlexiCom 400, 5000, 6000 and Coral IPx 800, 3000, 4000 systems require the installation of an 8DRCM, 8DRCF or RMI card to accommodate remote access, or the installation of an external, customer provided modem to the KB0 interface.

Figure 1-4 illustrates the necessary connections between the KB0 interface and a typical external modem, however, the connections to some modems may vary.

When an external modem is connected to KB0, before first initialization, the option switches located on the control card must be set up for the required baud rate (see BAUD RATE on page 17-22).

See the relevant Coral Installation Guide and Hardware Reference Manual for precise modem setup instructions.

Access to the Programming Interface

Access to the Programming Interface facility is controlled by passwords. There are four PI password levels. The programmer requires Level 2. This password is provided only for qualified personnel.

PI Software StructureThe PI software is a menu-driven and branch oriented system. The programmer can select a specific branch, which branches out into more detailed lists. In addition, the programmer is able to jump from one menu to another with no restrictions, except those demanded by specific password levels.

When the PI software is first accessed, the ENTER PASSWORD prompt appears. After a valid password is entered, the Root Menu appears.

1-11


Root Menu VariationsThe Root Menu is the main menu in the PI structure, from which the rest of the PI issues. The PI software is part of the system software. The Root Menu reflects the installed software version by listing the available items specific to the installed software version.

Entering the word ROOT anywhere within the PI, will take you to this menu.

• This manual describes all of the root menu options except 1-Diagn and 2-Tables. Tables programming is reserved for the manufacturer’s internal use.

• In Coral FlexiCom 5000 and Coral IPx 3000 with Dual Control systems, the letter M (Master) or S (Slave) appearing after the version number indicates the PI side definition.

• In Coral FlexiCom 6000 and Coral IPx 4000 systems, the letter A (Active), S (Standby) (if feature authorization is present for duplication) or M (Maintenance) or the word “Faulty” appear after the version number indicating the PI side definition.

• SAU shows the Software Authorization Unit (SAU) unique serial number (without the leading zeros). This number is verified during system operation. When a mismatch is detected during operation, a system alarm is issued and an error message is displayed.

Access to Specific MenusAccess to the root menu may be done from anywhere within the PI, by entering the word ROOT.

Access the menu items by keying a sequence of digits from the root menu that route the user to the required branch, such as 0,6,0 which will route to Public Libraries. An alternative method for accessing items is to type the alpha or alphanumeric code for the item, such as LIB which provides direct access to Speed Calling Libraries.

An advantage of using the alphanumeric code is that this method allows access to a specific branch from anywhere in the system, except from the NAME field. While the numeric digit method allows access only from the Root Menu. Alternatively, ROOT,0,6,0 routes to LIB from anywhere within the system.

PI Terminal Control Function Commands

The PI terminal keyboard is used to enter data and to instruct the PI software to perform specific functions. Several special function commands are available, and executed by simultaneously pressing the [CTRL] (Control) key and a specific letter key. The commands and their functions are listed in the following table.

Table 1-3: PI Control Characters and Escape Functions

Code Description Remarks

[CTRL] B Causes the previous field within the menu or list to be displayed.

[CTRL] C Cancels the current process; returns PI to previous menu or list.

[CTRL] D Often a displayed mode contains too many entries or tables to be displayed on one screen.To view a subject one entry (screen) at a time, use the [CTRL] D switch.To cancel, use [CTRL] D again as a toggle switch. While this mode is active, after displaying the first screen of entry, the PI pauses. To continue viewing the next screen of entry, press . When the [CTRL] D switch is activated, the following messages are displayed:activate: ***ENTRY BY ENTRY DISPLAY*** cancel: ***SCROLLING DISPLAY***

[CTRL] E Causes the End-of-Table message to be shown, after the last field in Update mode. When activated End-of-Table allows the [CTRL] B switch to jump to the last field. This switch toggles between the default Normal Display and the End-Of-Table display.

[CTRL] H Defines a new “Escape” or Home menu;When [CTRL] H is entered the following message appears:ESC will place you in this NodeThis PI menu is now displayed whenever pressing [ESC].Note:Entering ROOT from anywhere within the PI will always place you in the Root menu.

The ASCII character code defines [CTRL] H as the BACKSPACE character. Some terminal keyboards can be configured to send a DELETE character when backspacing. When available on the terminal, select this option to avoid changing the Escape menu.

[CTRL] N For Use by Manufacturer Only.Toggles the display of memory pools in chain order. When activated the following messages are displayed:

*** CHAIN DISPLAY ***

*** NORMAL DISPLAY ***

1-14


[CTRL] O For Use by Manufacturer Only.

Coral FlexiCom 5000 or IPx 3000 -Duplication only.Toggles terminal communication between the Slave and the Master side. When full duplication is invoked (i.e., in the U and U' configurations, see MASTER on page 21-21, [CTRL] O enables the technician to operate the PI from the 8DRCF/8DRCM/RMI or KB0 master terminals as if s/he is physically located at the slave location.

Coral FlexiCom 6000/R or IPx 4000/R Dual Control only.Toggles terminal communication between the Standby and the Active side. See HSB on page 21-27.

After connecting (or disconnecting) the terminal to (or from) the KB0/8DRCF/8DRCM/RMI Slave/Standby side or KB0 Master/Active side, one of the following messages appear:terminal connected or terminal disconnected.The following terminal status messages appear while the terminal is being connected between sides: FlexiCom 5000switching terminal to slave side orswitching terminal to master side.FlexiCom 6000switching terminal to Standby side orswitching terminal to Active side.

Recommendation:Return to the Master side before ending a PI session (with [CTRL] P).

[CTRL] P Ends the PI session; password entry is required to start a new PI session. Pressing [CTRL] P is recommended when exiting in order to prevent unauthorized operators from entering the PI and causing damage. When changes are made to systems that do not include an automatic backup, the following message appears:CAUTION!!! Auto backup NOT available

Quit Anyway (Y/N)? YTyping N(o) returns to the current PI mode. Typing Y(es) will leave the session.The default is Y(es) [CR].

There is an automatic logout upon inactive terminal (see AUTO_LOGOUT and AUTO_LOGOUT_TIME on page 17-21).

[CTRL] Q Turns off the [CTRL] S command (below). [CTRL] Q and [CTRL] S functions are commonly referred to as X-On/X-Off or DC1/DC3. Some terminal keyboards include a SCROLL LOCK key, which alternately sends a [CTRL] S and [CTRL]Q to toggle scrolling.

[CRTL] R Shows the current menu path from the Root Menu.Utilized by KB0 only.

[CTRL] S Causes the display to stop scrolling.

[CTRL] T Displays current system status: Installation name, current time and date, terminal number, password level, system software and card version and system type HDC/4GC/16GC/32GC, HSB & MCP-ATS, etc.

[CTRL] U Causes the previous menu or list to be displayed.



1-15


[CTRL] V Terminates the display of stimuli code messages. Same as entering MSG,2,0,N.

[CTRL] W Toggles the 25-line scroll function on (display scrolls 25 lines and stops) and off (display scrolls to the end of the menu, list, etc.).

RESTART[CTRL] Y

Begins a RESTART procedure. This command is used when the PI is not properly responding. Type RESTART in upper case.

ESC Pressing the Escape key in any location returns the session to the PI Home Menu as defined by [CTRL] H. The Root Menu is the default; any menu or list may be specified by moving to the desired menu and entering [CTRL] H.



1-16


Conventions Used in this Document

RoutesBranch headings (starting in Chapter 3) always show the subject and the route keyed from the Root Menu to reach that subject, for example:

Many option headings offer alternative routes; the first route given is the shortest route and may be used from any point in the PI menu structure. An example is:

“FE.T” (also called Direct Access Abbreviation) may be keyed to access the feature timers from any location in the PI structure. FE.T cannot be accessed when in Name fields.

The route shown by digits and commas is used only from the Root Menu.

Digits must be separated by commas or spaces. 0,0,0 and 0 0 0 are acceptable; 000 is not acceptable.

Ranges and DefaultsThe ranges and defaults available for a given programming option are presented immediately after the parameter name on the same line.

The range default is designated with an arrow on top of default item. For example, the range for SUSPECT SEIZE TIME in Trunk Definitions can be listed as:

50..80..500 ms or 0..80

where 80ms is the default in both cases and is designated by a pointed arrow on top of the number. When no default is designated, the default is Not Applicable.

For ranges that may include more than one default, the defaults are listed separately. For example, the defaults for the PAGE parameter in Station and Trunk COS, is shown as:

Yes/No

Yes: COS 0-9No: COS 10-15

Explanation: • The range is Yes or No.• For COS 0-9 the default is Yes.• For COS 10-15 the default is No.

Installation ➧ ROOT [0,0,0,0]

Feature Timers ➧ FE.T [0,0,1,0]

1-17


When a system range is not relevant, None is shown as the entry. In addition, when a range specification is not applicable for a specific option, the abbreviation N/A is given instead of data.

When a system default is not available or not applicable, no arrows are shown and, thereby, no default designated.

Display Only ParametersParameters which are read only options, (i.e. Display Only) appear with the following icon before the Range. The example below indicates that the parameter value may vary between 0 and 60 units. The actual value is indicated on the PI screen.

0..60

Database FormsA document called Database Forms is provided for writing down the various site programming definitions that differ from the defaults presented in this manual. Database Forms provides a convenient notebook for programmers to record specific site data and information. This information can then be used in order to redefine the various PI parameters. The headers of each major option in the Database Forms mirror the titles of each Coral branch i.e., major options in this document.

Country CodesThe Coral incorporates two different system types. System Type 0 defines the system defaults used in North America. The countries that use System Type 0, but with slight differences for their ranges and/or default values are listed as CCn types (where n is a number). The relevant country type is listed below.

System Type 2, designated as Eu, is used for European countries. The countries that use the same system type but slightly different ranges and/or defaults are listed as Eun, where n indicates the specific country (see below).

1-18


System type and Country Code (CC) numbers are displayed during Installation or in the Install branch, see SYSTEM_TYPE and COUNTRY on page 3-2.

• When the word “European” or “Eu”, without a specific country, is given this means that the system parameters or specifications are general for European systems. If no country or area is indicated then the parameter is valid as presented.

• 30T/E, ALS70, BID & GID trunk cards are used only in European systems.

2-5


Programming and Entering Time Units

The following table presents the 12 hour to 24 hour conversions for programming and entering time units in the PI. Exceptions to the required 24 hour format are described below.

• Minutes are entered as two digits (00 through 59). All time entries are hh:mm, where hh = hour (00-23) and mm = minutes (00-59).

• For single-digit hours, 1AM to 9 AM, a leading 0 can be added as required by the programmer; for example: 8 am can be defined either as 8:00 or 08:00.

Programming Functions

The following table presents the eight programming functions that can be applied to the Program Interface. Only functions relevant to a specific branch are available in that branch or option.

Code Function Description

0 UPDATE Allows changing or modifying the parameter values or characteristics.

1 DISPLAY Displays all parameters for any specific port or range of consecutively numbered ports.

2 ADD Instructs the system to make an addition to the existing parameter or option for a specific port.

3 REMOVE Deletes an existing parameter.

4 SNAP Similar to DISPLAY, but in real-time. Used for on-line monitoring from a single monitor only.

5 SHOW Generally used for showing Diagnostics and Numbering Plan tables.

6 DUPLICATE Copies a defined feature or parameter from one port or station to another port or station. Useful for rapidly defining new stations or updating existing stations.

7 ERASE Deletes the branch database from memory while in a specific branch.

2-7


Locating Data Fields

Data fields (parameters) can be located using short-cuts. When the questionAny specific data field (type? for help)

appears, any one of several actions can be taken:• All Fields: Press to display or update all fields.• Single Field: Enter single field name or field number to display or update a

single field.• Multiple Fields: Enter up to seven field names and or field numbers to display

or update multiple fields. Each field must be separated by either a space or comma, for example: 2,5,9 or 11 15 24 26 or 0 5 or MAX_RING, EXT.ID are all valid entries.

• Field Search: Enter single field name/field number and value required for searching. (field name) = (value). For example: while in the KEY node, to identify all keysets defined as attendant, enter ATT = Y. All keysets defined with this value appear.

Two values cannot be entered in the same instance; e.g. ATT = Y, PCC = Y is not a valid entry.

Field names can be entered in any of the following methods:• Full field name, e.g. MAX_RING.• The least amount of letters that identify a parameter, e.g. Max for MAX_RING.

The system will always start searching from the top of the current node.• Field index number, this is the number that appears in square brackets after the

field name, e.g. [0]. Field Index is always correct for the most recent Coral Version (check this handbook’s front cover to determine the most recent Coral Version). In the more advanced versions, new field names are added. Changes can occur in their numbering. Compatibility cannot be guaranteed between field index numbers for different Coral Software versions.

2-8


Direct Access Abbreviations (DAA)

Certain branches and options can be directly accessed from any location in the PI tree. The entire list of these abbreviations (or mnemonics) can be displayed by either entering HELP or typing 10 on the main menu. Since HELP is also a Direct Access Abbreviation (DAA), typing the letters HELP anywhere in the PI tree, except in NAME field, will bring up the List Of Direct Access Abbreviations to the PI Tree.

The following table presents the currently available DAA features. This list is presented in alpha-numeric order, as opposed to the actual PI on-line list, which has a slightly different arrangement.

Entering ROOT anywhere in the PI returns the system to the Root (Main) Menu.

The layout and order of the Direct Access Abbreviations shown above is slightly different from the on-line version; this is for the sake of clarity only.

Entering Yes/No and Remove

Entering the Yes or No answer to any option can be done in several ways, any of which is accepted by the system:

The letters can be entered in either upper or lower case or in combination. However, if any other letters are entered the following message appears:

SYNTAX ERR, TRY AGAIN.

General Rules for Entering Names The following rules apply for entering names in the various PI features that require such a definition. These naming rules are generally applicable for most options. However, when special considerations are required these are mentioned along with the option description.

Naming Rules 1. The number of characters allowed in names is determined according to the

option requirements.2. Control characters are ignored and should not be used.3. Names cannot have spaces or tab characters. Any character entered after an

inadvertent space or tab is ignored.4. For space/blank, enter underscore: “_”.5. Upper and lower case letters can be used in any combination. Letters are

displayed exactly as entered. In the following cases, however, the names are displayed in Uppercase:

• Idle keyset/FlexSet displays• Site Name• Password

6. Direct Access Abbreviations may be used for names. While entering names, DAA access is blocked.

7. In Semitic systems, letters appear right to left.8. Each port/group/library has a set of two names, SHORT and FULL, which

appears on a KEYSET according to the following:• DSP32 SHORT name• DSP48 SHORT name or first 9 characters of full name (the selection

between Short and Full, is defined system-wide.• DSP80 FULL name• DSP160 FULL name

9. To remove a defined name, use R.

YES NO Remove

YE N Remove

Y NON Rem

NONE R

2-10


Entering R displays the default BLANK.

Authorization Items

Software Upgrades, new Feature Activations and increasing Feature Sizes, require Software Authorization.

Generic software and feature activation, features sizes and software authorization information are all included on the IMC8 or CFD flash memory card.

The Authorization set includes a serial number which must match the Software Authorization Unit (SAU) physically installed on the following cards:• MCB Office (Coral IPx Office right panel)• MCP-IPx2 (Coral IPx 500)• MEX-IP2 (Coral FlexiCom 400 and Coral IPx 800)• MEX-IP2 (Coral FlexiCom 5000 and Coral IPx 3000)1

• 32GC (Coral FlexiCom 6000 and Coral IPx 4000)2

A unique SAU number is assigned per system. The SAU information determines the feature implementation capabilities or feature access authorization for a customer.

Loading unauthorized updates will cause the system to shut down after 14 days unless the proper authorization (SAU) is provided.

Authorization allows for up to 50 software subversion upgrades, allows increasing the system sizes and activating specific features.

The latest software version allowed for the site is verified by the Coral prior to the complete software installation. Attempting to install an unauthorized version, the Coral will abort the process without overwriting the current software version.

Any attempt to exceed limited or maximum numbers, e.g. sizing, results in an error message.

When a feature is not authorized in the system, any attempt to access that feature results in the following message:

(feature name) is not authorized in the system.

In the following pages all options that are controlled by the authorization system are assigned Authorization Limit or Authorization Control.

1. For the FlexiCom 5000 and Coral IPx 3000 systems with duplicated control, an identical yet sep-arate IMC8 is required for each system side. Each IMC8 includes its own unique Software Authorization number.

2. For the FlexiCom 6000/R and Coral IPx 4000/R systems with dual redundant control, an identi-cal yet separate CFD is required for each system side. Each CFD includes its own unique Soft-ware Authorization number.
