BETA DOCUMENT - PRELIMINARY & CONFIDENTIAL
Managing stations _____________________________________
This section presents information about adding a station and about phones that are
supported in Strata CS
Adding a station
To add a station to your Strata CS system
1. Using phone cable, connect the phone to the Dialogic MSI board or BCP
Control Panel at the Strata CS Server computer. See Strata CS Installation &
Maintenance Manual for instructions.
2. In the User’s view of the Strata CS Administrator, assign the station to a user
(see “Assigning a station ID” on page 6-11).
Supported phones
Strata CS supports standard analog touchtone telephones—called 2500 sets in
U.S. telephone terminology—for internal stations. Multi-line analog phones can
be used, but line use indicator lights may not perform correctly on some models.
Strata CS also supports phones with caller ID displays and some phones with
message waiting lights. See Chapter 5 of Strata CS Installation & Maintenance
Manual for a list of supported phones.
Supporting different types of CLASS phones
Two Strata CS registry settings specify the format used to send caller ID or visual
message waiting indicator information to CLASS phones. See “MSI station board
settings” on page A-25 for more information.
Important:
These two registry settings change the message format sent to all
phones connected to the specified MSI board.
Caller ID information
Caller ID information is sent to a display phone in one of the following formats:
n Single Data Message Format (SDMF), which sends the date, time, and
10-digit caller ID number.
n Multiple Data Message Format (MDMF), which sends the date, time,
10-digit caller ID number, and 15-digit caller name.
n United Kingdom message format (UK), which sends the date, time,
18-digit caller ID number, and 20-digit caller name. This information is
only delivered as caller ID on call waiting, that is, when the user is on
another call.
