Avaya Definity Gx/PBXLink Integration Guide for Cisco Unity 3.1
Requirements
Requirements
The Avaya Definity/PBXLink integration supports configurations of the following components:
Phone System
• An Avaya Definity phone system with one or two digital lines connected to the PBX ports on the
PBXLink box. The line or lines must be compatible with the 7434D or 8434D digital phones. If
vectoring will be used and depending on the phone system, the line or lines may require
compatibility with only the 7434D digital phone.
• Bridged mode feature, enabled.
• For each voice messaging port, one analog port connected to the voice cards in the Cisco Unity
server.
• The SMDI port in the PBXLink box connected to a serial port (COM1 is the default) on the
Cisco Unity server with an RS-232 serial cable. If multiple PBXLink boxes are installed, the SMDI
port of the last PBXLink box is connected to the Management port of the first PBXLink box with
an RS-232 serial cable. The SMDI port of the first PBXLink box is connected to a serial port (COM1
is the default) on the Cisco Unity server with another RS-232 serial cable. Make sure that the serial
protocol parameters for the Management port of the first PBXLink box are set to the same values as
the SMDI port. We recommend that the serial cables have the following construction for the serial
cable:
–
A maximum of 50 feet (15.24 m) in length
–
24 AWG stranded conductors
–
Low capacitance—for example, no more than 12 pF/ft (39.4 pF/m) between conductors
–
At least 65 percent braided shield over aluminized polymer sleeve around conductors
–
UL-recognized overall cable jacket insulation with low dielectric constant
–
Braided shield fully terminated to and enclosed by a metal connector backshell
–
Gold-plated connector contacts
• The phone system ready for the integration as described in the installation guide for the phone
system.
Cisco Unity Server
• The applicable voice cards, installed. For details on supported voice cards, refer to Cisco Unity
System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software, available on Cisco.com at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_pre_installation_guides_list.html.
• Cisco Unity installed and ready for the integration, as described in the Cisco Unity Installation
Guide.
• A system key that enables the integration and the appropriate number of voice messaging ports.
• An available serial port (COM1 is the default).
