Emergency transfer at the DEFINITY
Remote Office
The Avaya R300 Emergency Transfer feature provides some limited telephone service in
the case of disaster. This feature enables a relay contact set to directly cut-through the tip
and ring of the two analog station ports and to connect them to the two wire analog trunk
interface. These two analog stations operate in a loop-start trunk mode (for example, go
off-hook to seize an out-going CO trunk connection). See Figure 7 on page 11.
NOTE:
The DCP stations do not operate in this failure mode.
The Emergency Transfer relays operate by:
■ Loss of power on the Avaya R300’s Combo Blade
■ Failure of the Keep-Alive registration message, indicating loss of connectivity
back to a main DEFINITY site.
System management for the Remote
Office
Avaya R300 Administration
The system management of the Remote Office consists of two functional subsystems:
■ DEFINITY main switch
■ Avaya R300 voice/data switch
The DEFINITY is managed for administration via a SAT interface and/or via the
DEFINITY System Administration (DSA) or DEFINITY Network Administration (DNA)
tools. The Lucent-Ascend Command Line Interface manages the administration of the
Avaya R300. Within the Avaya R300, the TAOS operating system is designed to support a
menu-driven administration system. This system provides for the full administration of the
Avaya R300 Combo Blade’s voice features. Figure 7 on page 11 shows the current tools
available for configuration management on the Avaya R300.
