System Preparation and Configuration Expanded Database When setting up your system, do not exceed the system's Load Factor capacity. See System Load Factor Calculations on page 1-3 for more. The Expanded Database is a new database method that provides database records (memory) for all possible extensions, trunks, Hunt Groups, Ring Groups, and Voice Mail ports. This new capability allows for: q Simplified installation of Voice Mail, Hunt Groups, and Ring Groups. q Support for built-in IntraMail Voice Mail q Introduction of the DS-Series PC Program. To understand the Expanded Database, you'll need to keep track of three things: port, station (or trunk) number, and extension number. q Port The port is where the device you are programming connects to the system. There is a separate set of ports for digital stations, analog stations, analog Door Boxes, and trunks. q Station Number and Trunk Number The station or trunk number is the element in software that keeps track of the connected devices's programming. Station and trunk numbers (and associated database records) exist for all possible devices you can connect to the system, even if you don't have any ports installed to connect them. You can't call station and trunk numbers directly - you need the associated extension numbers to do that (see below). q Extension Numbers Extension numbers allow you to access the stations and trunks. By default, each station and trunk number has an extension number assigned to it. You can change these assignments if you want to. Digital station ports have primary and secondary station numbers. The primary station's extension number is used to call the device connected to the port. The secondary station's extension number calls the second channel on 2-channel devices such as 2-OPX Modules and Digital VANGARD Voice Mail ports. Default Numbering in DS1000 Here is how the ports, station numbers, trunk numbers, and extension numbers are initially set up: Default Numbering Stations (Telephones) Digital Station Ports 1-16 Station Numbers 1-16 Extension Numbers 300-315 Analog Station 1-8 17-24 316-323 Door Box 1, 2 Unassigned1 - 25-26 27-34 324, 325 326-333 Total Station Ports 34 - - • To find out the default extension number for any station number, add 299 to the station number. - For example, station number 1 uses extension number 300 (1 + 299). Trunks Ports Trunk Numbers Extension Numbers Trunk Ports 1-6 1-6 101-106 Total Trunk Ports 6 - - • To find out the default extension number for a trunk number, add 100 to the trunk number. - For example, trunk number 1 uses extension number 101 (1 + 100). 1-2 x Section 1: Installation Basics DS1000 Hardware Manual
