I. Configuring TCP/IP
You need to configure TCP/IP for the network adapter. The system automatically configures the TCP/IP for the network adapter after the adapter driver is installed. If not, see the Windows online help and configure it.
Caution: The Console IP address in ADD CXCON is set to 255.255.255.255 by default. In this case, no matter the U-Path is in a public or private network, and no matter a dynamic or static IP address is used, the U-Path can communicate normally with the SoftX3000.
In this case, you do not need to set the gateway address of the U-Path PC. Proceed as follows: 1) 2) Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network > Local Area Connection. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, click Configure and select the TCP/IP protocol for the communication between the U-Path PC and the IFMI board. See Figure 2-23. 3) 4) Click Properties, and the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window appears, as shown in Figure 2-24. Set the IP address to 192.168.1.8, and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
Figure 2-25 U-Path Console Terminal Configurator dialog box The meanings of the parameters on this tab are shown in Table 2-5. Table 2-5 Parameters on the IP Console tab Parameter category Parameter name Meaning It is the name of the U-Path terminal. The naming rule is Console Number.CON, where Console Number is the U-Path number and CON is a fixed string. For example, if the number of a U-Path is 0, the Console identifier is 0000.CON. Local IP It is the IP address of the network adapter through which the U-Path communicates with the SoftX3000. Keep it the same with the name specified by ADD CXCON at the SoftX3000 side.

Meaning Keep it the same with the name specified by ADD CXCON at the SoftX3000 side. To ensure security, connect the U-Path with two SoftX3000s, and set the same data on them. If one fails, the U-Path can communicate with the other. It is the interface IP address of the IFMI board of the active SoftX3000. It is the interface IP address of the IFMI board of the standby SoftX3000. It is the IP port number through which the U-Path communicates with the SoftX3000 IFMI. It is fixedly set to 2728.
Enable STUN
Note: For other parameters on this tab, keep the default values. Keep the U-Path number the same with Console number set by the ADD CXCON command at the SoftX3000 side. Keep both the host IP and standby IP the same with that of the STUN server and that of the console which is set by SET CONADDR at the SoftX3000 side. To modify the user name or password, type the new one on this tab.
Figure 2-26 Automated Operator tab The meanings of the parameters on this tab are shown in Table 2-6. Table 2-6 Parameters on the Automated Operator tab Parameter name Maximum number length Maximum channels Set IVR rule number of Meaning It is the maximum length of extension numbers. It is the maximum number of channels that is supported by automated operation. For an IP console, the number is 10. See section 2.4.5 Configuring IVR Rules for details.

Caution: Actions and names under a same rule cannot be the same.
Figure 2-31 Add <Phone number> dialog box You can set a phone number which is already added under the rule as an extension for automated attendance. For example, if you set 8888 with the action 5, when a subscriber calls the U-Path in automated attendance, the call is forwarded to the extension number 8888 after the subscriber dials 5. If the subscriber type of 8888 is set to operator, the call can be transferred. This replaces the attendance and transfer function of the U-Path.
Note: This operation does not add a new phone list; instead, it references an existing one.
Note: Better include numbers of all intra-Centrex subscribers in the phone number range.
To convert the format of a recorded file, proceed as follows: 1) 2) Use the Goldwave software to convert the recorded file into the PCM format. Save it in the installation directory\wave folder.

It is the mode to insert the field name in the ticket, being Not show field name, Left align, or Right align. It is the name of the field to be inserted in the exported ticket. It is the number of digits of the field in the exported ticket. Field width For example, if for the caller short number 55555, the field width is 3, it is displayed as 555 in the exported ticket. If the field width is set to 0, the complete number is displayed. It is the alignment mode of the field. The value \t stands for the tab. It is the sequence by which the fields are displayed in the exported ticket. The tickets are exported in the left alignment mode.
Meaning The ticket are exported through serial port. You can set the U-Path to export only one type of tickets and filter other types of them. For example, you can set the U-Path to export only tickets from the fixed network, and filter those from the mobile network. If you select this item, the U-Path sends a ticket only after receiving the acknowledgement from the peer end that the previous ticket is received. Or else, the U-Path sends all tickets at one time. If you select this item, the information about the sent tickets are recorded at the U-Path terminal locally. It is the directory where the trace messages are stored. It is the mode to separate two fields in a ticket when the U-Path sends tickets, such as using the space or tab.
