NORTEL MUSIC ON HOLD (MOH) INSTALLATION

           Music-on-Hold systems allow you to play recorded music and/or messages to callers while they are on hold.(Alternatively, the system supports a Tones on Hold feature.)
Music On Hold Players are usually designed to provide a choice of outputs: 600 Ohms or 8 Ohms. The user may choose the output and volume level appropriate for their callers. The players are within the 2 watt source limit, playing the audio in an endless loop. Callers placed on hold hear the music on hold message in progress.

Necessary Equipment :
.   Music On Hold repeater/ Player (digital on hold music player that sends continuous audio signal to output)
.   RCA Phono Plug (included with on hold player purchase)
.   Card CO

Call Redirection by Time of Day (CRDAY)

Call Redirection by Day (CRDAY). The CRDAY feature allows you to automatically redirect incoming calls on specified days of the week and/or holidays. You can define the number of rings required before a call is redirected, and the Directory Number (DN) to which the call is redirected. Existing parameters that apply to the operation and redirection of DNs of Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) and Hunting also apply to this feature.

The CRDAY feature also uses the alternate DNs introduced by the CRTOD feature. You can configure up to four alternate day lists, DAY0 ? DAY3, for each customer. Each day list can contain one or more days of the week.

You can also configure up to four holiday lists, HOLIDAY0 ? HOLIDAY3, for each customer. Each holiday list can contain up to 20 dates.
You can assign one alternate day list and/or one alternate holiday list for each telephone. The maximum value of the year in a holiday date is 2104. There is a class of service (CLS) for each of CRTOD, CRDAY, and Call Redirection by Holiday (CRHOL). Each CLS can be enabled or disabled separately and are independent of each other

Dial out without "9"

The issue : I have is with their analog handsets/fax extensions that do not have the ability of seizing a line without the "9". Althought you can add a Line Appearance to the button programming on analog extensions it does not work. Any other type of solution to accomplish this need?

Create Pick-Up Groups

Feature Description

Meridian 1 provides three methods of picking up calls which are ringing unanswered at other extensions. The method used depends whether the ringing
extension is in your pick-up group or not. This feature can be used by both analogue and digital sets; the latter can have a dedicated feature key if preferred.

The three methods are   :
Answer Call Pick-Up
This enables you to pick up calls within your own group.

Directed Pick-Up
This allows you to pick up calls in other pick-up groups using the DN of the ringing extension.

Answer Group Pick-Up
This allows you to pick up calls in other pick-up groups using the group number of the ringing extension.


Groups are identified by a "Ringing Number Pick-Up Group" (RNPG) number
(1 - 4095). A value of 0 indicates that the extension is not a member of a group.

For either analogue or digital sets the Pick-Up Group (RNPG) must be specified and the Class of Service (PUA, DPUA, GPUA) set depending which of the three pick-up methods is required by the user.

CLS for Restricted...

All from memory:

Fully Restricted Service
There are three levels of Fully Restricted Service:

FR2
-    allowed to originate and receive internal calls
-    denied access to TIE and Common Controlled Switching Arrangement networks
-    denied access to and from the exchange network, either by dialing, through an attendant, or using call modification from an unrestricted telephone

Call modification takes place when certain features are activated while a call is in progress (for example, Call Park, Call Pickup, Call Transfer, Conference, or Night Answer).

Call Waiting.....

Feature Description

This feature notifies an extension user, currently engaged on an established call, that another call is waiting to be answered. On a digital set notification is by a flashing lamp associated with the Call Waiting key and a buzz tone through the loudspeaker of the set. On analogue sets notification is by two bursts of tone through the ear-piece of the handset.

The user can put the first call on hold, answer the second call, and return to the first call when desired. The analogue set use a Flexible Feature Code to activate and deactivate this feature and the digital extensions must have a dedicated key.

There is an option to notify that internal calls and/or external calls are waiting.
Feature Implementation
In order for call waiting to work, an extension must be forward busy denied (FBD) and hunting denied (HTD).
For analogue sets, allow the Class of Service Call Waiting (CWA), Internal Call Waiting (SWA) and Warning Tone (WTA).
For digital sets, allow the Class of Service Internal Call Waiting (SWA) and Warning Tone (WTA). The Call Waiting feature must be allocated to a key.

CALL PARK...

Call park : is a feature of some telephone systems that allows a person to put a call on hold at one telephone set and continue the conversation from any other telephone set.

The “call park” feature is activated by pressing a preprogrammed button (usually labelled “Call Park”) or a special sequence of buttons. This transfers the current telephone conversation to an unused extension number and immediately puts the conversation on hold. (This is called parking the call; and the call is said to have parked onto a certain extension. Essentially, call parking temporarily assigns an extension number to an incoming call.) The telephone system will then display the extension number of the parked call so that the call can later be retrieved.

At this point, the telephone system will often provide an option for the person to make an announcement through a public address system (often consisting of some or all of the telephone sets and or overhead paging speakers controlled by the telephone system). Making such announcements in such a way is referred to as paging. To access the paging system, the user must enter the paging access code or press the "page" button on the telephone, and announce the call parked extension. An example would be at a grocery store where the bakery has a call parked. The user would say "Bakery you have a call parked on 627" and the bakery department would then dial 627 to access the call on hold.

Detailed ISDN Cause Codes

Cause No. l - Unallocated (unassigned) number [Q.850]
This cause indicates that the called party cannot be reached recluses although the called party number is in a valid format. It is not currently allocated (assigned).
Cause No. 2 - No route to specified transit network (national use) [Q.850]
This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause has received a request to route the call through a particular transit network which it does not recognize. The equipment sending this cause does not recognize the transit network either because the transit network does not exist or because that particular transit network. While it does exist. does not serve the equipment which is sending this cause.

Nortel IP PBX Basic command

       This is a short introduction into programming a Meridian PBX. The Meridian PBX's software divides information into LOADS. Each Load has a specific function for example. LD 20 is where you can print information about phones. The loads range from LD 01 - LD 143. If you see any prompts that I don't mention just "enter" past them.
ALWAY LOOK UP ERROR MESSAGES!!!! Error messages indicate to you what you are doing incorrectly, ignoring them can lead to hours of fustration.
What I am going to show you should work in a Meridian PBX's with Release 19 and above. We will be using the Following Loads or (Loaders) programs
