This appendix provides instructions for running the D/42 Series demonstration program for Windows. This program demonstrates the Unified API functions using the D/42-NS and D/42-NE2 boards. Basic operations performed by the D/42-xx include:

• answer
• dial
• supervised/blind transfer
• play/record messages

Requirements

• 2 phones connected to a PBX
• 1 D/42-NS or D/42-NE2 board connected to a PBX
• The PBX must be configured according to the D/42 Series User's Guide.

Setup

Before running the D/42 Series demonstration program, perform the following procedures:

1. Connect 1 channel of your D/42-xx board to an extension of the PBX.

2. Connect two telephones to two extensions of the PBX.

3. In necessary, start the D/42-xx board using the Dialogic Configuration Manager.


Documentation Conventions

The following conventions and terminology are used throughout the instructions contained in this section:

• Window titles are in italics.
• Menu items are in bold.
• The extension used to call the D/42-xx channel is called Phone A.
• The extension used receive the transfer is called Phone B.

Running the Demo

To run the D42 Demonstration Program:

1. Go to the Samples\d42 subdirectory under the Dialogic home directory.

2. Start the D/42 Series Demonstration Program by double-clicking on D42DEMO.EXE.

3. The Dialogic D/42 Demo window will open - see Figure 11.

Figure 11. Dialogic D42 Demo Window

4. From the Options menu, choose Properties. The D42 Options window is displayed - see Figure 12.

Figure 12. D42 Options Window

5. Enter the number of extension digits that corresponds to your PBX configuration.

NOTE:

If this option is not set correctly, the demo program will not perform transfers correctly.

1. If you want to use supervised transfers, check the Supervised Transfers box.

NOTE:

In a supervised transfer, the demo program puts the incoming call (Phone A) on hold and attempts to establish a connection with the Phone B before the transfer is completed.

In a non-supervised, or blind transfer, the incoming call (Phone A) is transferred immediately to Phone B. You will hear the ring signal, and the D/42-xx channel is ready to accept a new call (indicators are gray).

7. Press OK to close the D42 Options window.

8. From the File menu, choose Open. The Select Your D42 Channel window will be displayed - see Figure 13.

Figure 13. Select Your D/42 Channel

9. Choose a board listed below the applicable D/42 Series board (Example: dxxxB1 under the Northern Telecom Norstar). A channel list will be displayed in the right-hand window - see Figure 14.

Figure 14. Select a D/42 Channel

10. Choose a channel connected to the PBX and press OK (Example: dxxxB1C1). A window will be displayed simulating the appropriate phone set for your PBX.

NOTE:

All four channels are displayed, not just the channel connected to the PBX.

11. Observe that the date and time appear in the display. This verifies that the D/42-xx is communicating with the PBX. If the date and time do not appear, verify that the correct channel is selected and that the phone line is connected to the proper channel on the D/42-xx.
6. From Phone A, dial the number of the extension connected to the D/42-xx channel selected in step 10.
7. Listen to the greeting.
8. Enter the extension for Phone B.

   NOTE:

   If you do not enter an extension within five seconds, the demo will play the message "Thank you for calling Dialogic Corporation" and hang up.

1. Phone B will ring. Answer the phone.

   NOTE:

   If the demo is performing a supervised transfer, the transfer will complete immediately after voice is detected on the "transfer to" extension, or after 30 seconds of silence.

If performing a blind transfer, the transfer is completed immediately.

16. Observe the indicators, display, caller ID, and status areas in the demo window.
    • Indicators - refer to Table 11
    • Display - shows information sent from the PBX
    • Caller ID - shows the caller ID data sent by the PBX
    • Message Waiting - turns on when a message is recorded.
    • Status Area - show demo application status messages (e.g., dialing, ready, playing intro prompt, and message access code)

Table 11. Demo Indicator Definitions

	Definition *
Indicator Color	M3710	Dterm Series III
gray	off	off
green	on	flutter
red	flash, Ihold, Uhold	wink (and all others)
* Refer to Section 3, d42_indicators( ), for detailed description of the indicators

17. You may repeat steps 12 through 15 using different scenarios for the Phone B (e.g., busy, no answer, forward).

    NOTE:

    If you choose busy or no answer, you will be prompted to leave a message. Recording stops when silence is detected. When you leave a message, the Message Waiting indicator will turn on (red). Only one message is saved (a previously recorded message will be overwritten). The saved message will be deleted when the channel is closed.

To listen to the message, call back the D/42-xx extension and press the # key. The access number will be displayed in the status area.

18. To close the open channel, choose Close from the File menu.
6. To exit the program, choose Exit from the File menu.
7. You may also run the Multithreaded GUI Based Application Program to check the voice functions of the D/42-xx. Refer to the System Release Software Installation Reference.
