11.2.5. Configuring Access Points/OpenScape 4000 SoftGates for AP Emergency Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

To configure an access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate for the AP Emergency feature, it must be assigned to an already existing emergency group. Most of the configuration specific to AP Emergency is performed at the level of the emergency group.
Access points/OpenScape 4000 SoftGates with the “direct link“ connection type (APDL) - see “IP Distributed Architecture”, Section 2.2, “Access Point” - can only be assigned to emergency groups for which the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate is in an access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate with link type APDL. For access points/OpenScape 4000 SoftGates with the “networked“ connection type (APNW) there is no restriction for the connection type of the access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate containing the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate.
You must stipulate the emergency group to which an access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate belongs as well as the “weight“ of the access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate in question, i.e. its contribution to the weighting algorithm for the switchover.
Regardless of the weighting in the emergency group, you can also specify that an access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate be immediately included in the control of the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate allocated to the emergency group when the connection to the central control is lost. This exception to the group behavior can for example be useful when an access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate with VIP users is equipped in such a way that it has its own trunk access and is therefore independent of the availability of the other group members.
IMPORTANT:
Access points/OpenScape 4000 SoftGates that are switched over to the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate independently of the group and that do not have their own trunk or tie line only allow access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate internal communication. This prevents emergency calls from being forwarded over the trunk, for example.
This exception only applies when the limiting value for the weighting within the emergency group has not been reached. The weighting contribution of an access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate with separate switching is always taken into consideration for the weighting of the group behavior. The access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate is always included in the switchover when required by the weighting for the emergency group. The switchback also takes place along with the group.

The modified data does not take effect until after you have used OpenScape 4000 Assistant Backup & Restore to copy the database to the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate, and the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate has accepted it.

Beschreibung/ Description
APESU
APNUM
d
LTU-Nummer des Access Points/OpenScape 4000 SoftGates
 
APNO
e
Line/Trunk Unit Number of the access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate
 
EGRPNUM
d
Identifikations-Nummer der Emergency Gruppe.
 
EGRPNO
e
Identification number of the Emergency Group.
 
GEWICHT
d
Gewichtsbeitrag des Access Points/OpenScape 4000 SoftGates für den Gewichtungsalgorithmus.
Verliert der Access Point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate die Verbindung zur zentralen Steuerung, so wird sein Gewichtsbeitrag in die Gewichtung der Emergency Gruppe eingebracht.
Wertebereich [0 .. 1000]
 
WEIGHT
e
Weight share of the access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate to the weighing alogrithm.
When the access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate loses the connection with the central control, it’s weight share is brought into the weighing of the Emergency Group.
Range [0 .. 1000]
 
UMSCHALT
d
Umschaltemodus
Bestimmt, ob ein Access Point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate ausschließlich zusammen mit der gesamten Emergency Gruppe umgeschaltet wird, oder ob er auch unabhängig von der Gewichtung sofort vom CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate übernommen wird, wenn er die Verbindung zur zentralen Steuerung verloren hat.
Werte:
GRUPPE: Umschaltung nur mit gesamter Gruppe
EINZEL: Einzelbehandlung bei der Umschaltung
 
SWMODE
e
Switch-Over Mode
Specifies if the access point/OpenScape 4000 SoftGate may be switched over only together with the complete Emergency Group, or if it may be taken over by the CC-AP/Survivable OpenScape 4000 SoftGate independently to the weighing, as soon as it loses connection with central control.
Values:
GROUP: Switch-Over only together with Group
SINGLE: Individual handling at Switch-Over
