Cut-Through Paging - Configuration

CTP is controlled at the mailbox level through FCOS bits. There are no other configuration changes to the system - the NuPoint Voice system and Pager line groups are both configured normally.

CTP-specific FCOS Bits

The CTP FCOS bits are as follows:

Other FCOS Bits

Other FCOS bits also affect the functionality of the CTP feature:

Configuring a CTP Mailbox

To configure a CTP Mailbox:

  1. Define an FCOS for CTP (see Related Topics):

  2. Copy/add all FCOS bits from your regular pager mailbox's FCOS to the CTP FCOS.

  3. If not already included, add FCOS bit 10 (Enhanced Outcall Paging Options: English prompts) to the CTP FCOS. This is because the feature is only supported in English. It is a good idea to delete all other language prompts from the CTP FCOS.

  4. Add the required CTP features using the feature bits from the list below:

    • 171: A mailbox which can receive a telephone umber or a recorded message but not both; no page notification receipt.

    • 172: A mailbox which can receive a telephone number and/or a recorded message; no page notification.

    • 171 & 173: A mailbox which can receive a telephone number or a recorded message but not both; with page notification receipt.

    • 172 & 173: A mailbox which can receive a telephone number and/or a recorded message; with page notification receipt.

  5. Define a Mailbox.

  6. Assign the CTP FCOS you defined in step 1 to the mailbox.

  7. Set the message waiting type to "5". This is required for all pager mailboxes (CTP or regular).

  8. Set all other pager parameters as usual.
