AIN General

Mitel Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) networks several Mitel 400 communication servers into a single full-fledged communication system with a complete range of features. The individual nodes are independent of one another in terms of location and are controlled by a Master node. Networking is via the IP network. For further information refer to the AIN system manual. The AIN focus topic contains more information on how to set up and operate an AIN with WebAdmin. You can find the hyperlinks below in the section See also....

Here you can decide whether the communication server is part of an AIN or  is operated as individual systems. Depending on the configured operating mode, you have access to more information and general settings on AIN.

Table 1. Operating mode

Here you can see or choose the AIN operating mode of the communication server on which you are currently logged.

Parameter

Remarks

Single system

The communication server is not part of an AIN.

AIN master

The communication server is the master node. The master node is the AIN command centre. You can create the AIN configuration from here.

AIN satellite

The communication server is a satellite node. The AIN operation of a satellite node is configured via the master.  Here you merely configure the local hardware structure, local interfaces and local DSP resources.

Table 2. Node overview (appears only in the master)

Parameter

Remarks

Node

Node reference number Clicking the reference number opens an overlay window with other settings.

Name

AIN node name

Connected since

The satellite is connected with the master since <date/time>.

The satellite is currently not connected with the master.

Equipment ID (EID)

Communication server identification number

Host name

AIN node host name

IP address

AIN node IP address

Type

Communication server type

Region

AIN node region profile. To select another region profile, click the reference number or name of the AIN node.

Emergency destination

AIN node's emergency destination (default value = 1). To select another emergency destination, click the reference number or name of the AIN node.

You can assign any of the defined emergency destinations to the AIN node. When an emergency number of the internal numbering plan is dialled, one of the three call numbers of the emergency destination is dialled, based on the switch position of the assigned switch group.

Note:

If an emergency destination is assigned at the calling terminal, the emergency destinations of the terminal has priority.

Emergency location

Here you can assign any of the defined emergency location data sets to the AIN node. When an emergency number out of the public emergency number list is dialled, the system reacts with specific actions: The location of the caller is sent to the provider, an emergency response team is informed, alarms are issued and logs are updated. You can find more information in the focus topic "Emergency service support".

Table 3. AIN master (appears only with the satellites)

Parameter

Remarks

Master IP address

IP address or host name of the master

Connection state

The satellite is currently connected with the master.

The satellite is currently not connected with the master.

Table 4. Node connections

Parameter

Remarks

Monitoring range

Defines the interval at which the signalling connections between the master and satellites is checked.

If you modify the interval on the master, the modification is also made on all available satellites.

Minimal: 5 s

Very short: 10 s

Short: 20 s

Medium: 40 s

Long: 1 min 45 s

Very long: 3 min

Note:

The interval set for AIN operation and for offline operation must be the same.
