10.8.10.1  

Table 
All adjustable time parameters are listed in the table (Description column). The timer value for each time parameter can be set via the Base and Factor columns. The actual time = Base x Factor.
If the value 255 is entered in the Factor column, this timer is inactive.
Certain time parameters (see the time parameter table below) were moved to other tab pages as of Hicom 150 H. Note that changes made to these timers via Time parameters have no effect in the new communication systems.

Time parameters  
Effective in the
CP status:  
Timer range  

P.O.T suffix dialing time code/Receiver activation time  
The timer controls the duration of the connection of the code receiver with DTMF terminal units and therefore the ready-to-dial condition. After expiry of this timer the code receiver will be released.
Dialing  
5 - 15 s

Time for activation of P.O.T features  
This timer will be activated if the signal key is pressed. The signal key helps to distinguish whether a subscriber wants to resume a consultation hold or whether he wants to activate a feature such as conferencing.
Dialing  
2 - 4 s

Reseizure blocking time  
This timer is started after trunk release and bars an immediate outgoing seizure during this time.
Release at:  
0 - 5 s

Callback delay time  
This timer is started, if a subscriber changes into idle. Once this time has expired, a check is made to see whether automatic callback is to be implemented. This gives the user an opportunity to make further calls.
Idle  
0 - 60 s

Length of call back  
In case an automatic callback is not answered within this time, the call is finished and the callback is postponed.
Call signaling of callback  
15 - 60 s

Intercept time for automatic recall  
If an automatic recall of a blind transfer is not answered within this time, it is intercepted to the attendant console, if this intercept criterion has been configured.
Automatic recall  
20 - 600 s  

Calling time transfer before answer on busy station  
If a blind transfer (to a busy station) is not answered within this time, the recall is forwarded to the extension that transferred the call.
 
30 - 600 s

End-of-selection for incomplete dialing (Austria)  
Supervisory timer for direct inward dialing. In case no selection occurs during this time, the direct inward dialing is recognized as incomplete or as no dialing. (Austria only)
Direct inward dialing  
10 - 30 s

End-of-selection time (no dialing)  
In case selection is not started within a certain time, an end-of-selection is automatically generated.
Direct inward dialing  
5 - 15 s

Time for parking + change to hold  
Reactivation of a parked call must occur within a timeout.
In case the parked call is not answered (resumed) within this time, the station, which has parked the call, will be recalled. With the automatic recall, the hold status reverts to an active status.
Common Hold  
60 - 255 s

End-of-selection for incomplete dialing  
In case dialing is not continued within a certain time, an end-of-selection is automatically generated.
 
10 - 20 s

P.O.T. Minimum flash time
(ineffective as of Hicom 150 E Office Rel. 1.0
SW version H)  
(as of SW version H, this timer is set via Station view: Template Editor)
Defines a minimum time for the recognition of a flash within which the loop must be broken.
 
 

P.O.T Maximum flash time
(ineffective as of Hicom 150 E Office Rel. 1.0
SW version H)  
For the recognition of the flash a maximum time is determined, in which the loop must be opened.
 
 

Wait time for LCR analog  
Queue timeout for LCR analog
 
0 - 20 s

Time for activation of automatic recall at attendant console  
In case an automatic recall at the attendant console is not answered during this time, the call will be released.
 
30 - 180 s

End-of-dialing for 1A dialing  
This timer indicates the time after which the last digit will be dialed out for the 1A procedure. The outdialing of a digit occurs after input of the next digit. The last digit is dialed after expiry of the timer or if it is marked with the end of dialing indication (#) by the station.
Dialing  
4 - 4.5 s

Additional charge time
(ineffective as of Hicom 150 E Office Rel. 1.0
SW version H)  
(as of SW version H, this timer is set via Trunks | Parameter/Template Editor)
When a trunk is released, incoming call charge information (call charge pulses) on analog trunks can be analyzed by the communication system during this time. The trunk is blocked for outgoing connections during this time.
Release of analog trunks  
 

Dial tone monitoring time  
This is the waiting time for dialing tone. In case this timer expires, the system assumes a failure of the trunk. The trunk will be marked as "failed".
 
 

Flash time for PBXs
(ineffective as of Hicom 150 E Office Rel. 1.0
SW version H)  
(as of SW version H, this timer is set via Station view: Template Editor)
Time for the signaling of the flash.
 
 

MOH delay timer  
In case a connection is held, music on hold is applied, if configured. However, MOH is only activated after this time has expired, in order to make sure that activation of features such as conferencing is not hindered by MOH.
(Call) hold  
0 - 5 s

Pause before dial (only for Development)  
If dial tone detection is not possible or desired for analog trunks, dialing can be automatically initiated after this time period.
 

Release if no dialing  
In case of a trunk seizure and no dialing within a certain time, the connection is released. The subscriber will get busy tone.
 
5 - 30 s

Flash settling time (only for Development)  
Time between trunk flash and transmission of dialing.
 

Dial pause length  
This timer indicates the length of the pause to be implemented between two digits, if a pause mark is detected.
 
1 - 5 s

Artificial end-of-selection  
With external dialing, received digits after artificial end-of-selection are interpreted as consultation hold.
 
5 - 15 s

Timer for automatic redial  
If the station is busy, the relevant number is automatically redialed when the timer elapses. This feature does not work unless the option Automatic redial is selected under Flags.
 
10 - 650 s

Delay for announcement prior to answer  
This timer adjusts the delay time, after which the announcement device answers.
 
1.5 - 30 s

Time between HAT analysis and dialing of trunk main station interface  
This timer determines the time between the audible tone recognition and the dialing of the first digit via analog trunks.
 
0 - 2 s

Pause length after dialing 2nd discrim. digit  
This timer determines the pause length, which is made after dialing the 2nd route seizure code or the international code number. Transfer to the next switching node
 
1 - 5 s

Time until warning tone in main station interface transit connection  
Transit connections are monitored depending on the type of protocols. This is to avoid, that a connection remains endlessly.
If at least one trunk in this transit connection has release recognition, the time is not monitored (see the exceptions in the table below). There is no release recognition for analog trunks. However, there is a hardware option for silent reversal. This makes release recognition possible for analog trunks.
The Table for transit monitoring (The following is valid for the trunk types specific to the US:) shows the trunk types where a monitoring timer is implemented.
The length of the monitoring can be configured.
However, when using an analog trunk with silent reversal, note that there are call numbers where it's possible that there is no answer and therefore where no release can be recognized. As a rule, these call numbers are for announcement services. This must be explicitly pointed out to the operator of the communication system.
 
120 s - 42 min

Time from warning tone until release  
In the case of monitoring the time for transit connections, a warning tone occurs after the monitoring timer expires. So that the call can be ended, the connection is only cleared down after this timer has expired, and not immediately.
Transit  
10-650

Release time for MSI  
A call to an MSI line via direct inward dialing (DID) is released after this time if no call was connected.
 
30 s - 254 min

After holding, a warning tone is switched (Italy)  
After expiry of this time, camp-on occurs with the held connection at the subscriber who held the call (ITL).
Hold connection  
30 - 180 s

Monitoring a UCD call to an analog line (only for Development)  
Time for activation of an MSI call to a UCD group when no connection has been set up.
 
10 - 3810 s

Monitoring transfer to a UCD group prior to answer (only for Development)  
If a transfer to a UCD group occurs prior to an answer, the timer is started. If the transferred call is not answered, an automatic recall occurs following the timeout.
 
10 - 3810 s

USBS timer interval  
For access via S0 port, TA-S0, TA-RS232 and TA-API, the User Signaling Bearer Service (USBS) based on ETS 300 716 is used.
 
1 - 60 s

Timer for Toll Fraud Monitoring  
When this timer expires, an active transit connection is signaled at the display of the attendant console. The attendant will be able to release the transit call.
This enables the monitoring of transit traffic.
 
0 - 650 s

Special busy tone, if destination doesn't answer the call  
After expiry of this timer, the calling subscriber gets the special busy tone.
 
30 - 120 s

Special busy tone, if trunk is seized without dialing  
In case a subscriber seizes an outgoing trunk without dialing, he will get a special busy tone after expiry of the timer.
 
20 - 60 s

Calling time transfer before answer on busy station  
After expiry of this timer, subscriber A, which has been transferred from subscriber B to a busy subscriber C, is transferred back to subscriber B.
 
15 - 180 s

Error signaling interval  
The error signaling time defines an interval in the value range 1 to 15 minutes. Decimal places are rounded up to full minutes, values under 1 min. or above 15 min. are evaluated as 15 min.
The current Class B error entered in the event log is transferred cyclically to the remote center when the interval has elapsed.
 
60 - 900 s

Delay of busy signaling messages  
For the Inter-system busy signaling feature (see QSIG features (not in the USA)), the states of selected stations are sent to the central communication system via QSIG. Message sending can be delayed using this timer, in order to avoid bottlenecks at the QSIG interface. The timer is started when a message is sent. The next message is not sent until the timer has expired.
 
 

HiPath 4000 Network: Early DMC  
This timer defines when the DMC (Direct Media Connection) procedure is started. This timer is started when an alerting message is received via the network trunk. This timer is only used for fine adjustment so that switchover can be implemented as far as possible when tones are not being output.
