Top Configuration 
 
Implementing features, see also Manager E Top Configuration

Example of a Top Configuration with One Executive and One Secretary  
 Figure 9-4   Example of a Top Configuration with One Executive and One Secretary
 
This Top configuration includes the following components:
 •   Executive MULAP 201 with an executive and executive CMI as executives and with a secretary as member.
 •   Basic MULAP 202 with a secretary as primary station and an executive and executive CMI as members.
 •   DSS keys: Secretary to executive (executive CMI) and executive to secretary.
 •   Ring transfer keys: For controlling incoming MULAP call signaling. The default setting for the ring transfer key is "deactivated" (LED off). Calls are signaled on the secretary.
In addition, incoming MULAP call signaling can be activated or deactivated by means of a group call key (on non-executive telephones only). Ring transfer has priority, meaning that the group call key is activated only when ring transfer is deactivated.

Example of Top with Two Executives and Two Secretaries  
 Figure 9-5   Example of Top with Two Executives and Two Secretaries
 
The following options are available for assigning Top keys using HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E:  
 •   No key assignment
 •   Assignment to first or second key module
A key module is automatically added (refer to examples in Figure 9-6 and Figure 9-7). If applicable, existing keys are overwritten.
 •   Assignment to first free keys
Free keys on the telephone and any existing key modules are used. If no keys are available, key modules are added. Key assignment sequence for Top: DSS Executive 1, Exec. MULAP 1, Ring Transfer Exec. MULAP 1, DSS Secretary 1 (on executive telephone) or Group Call (on secretary telephone), DSS Executive 2, Exec. MULAP 2, etc.

Dependencies/Restrictions  

 Subject  
 Dependency/Restriction  
Manually configured executive MULAP group  
Members of an executive MULAP group can use key programming to  
 •   Configure a MULAP key for the executive MULAP group.
 •   Configure DSS keys to other members.
 •   Program a "Group Call" key.
 •   Program a ring transfer key for each executive MULAP group.
Note:  
In an executive MULAP group, the executive should program a DSS key to the secretary (station number) and the secretary should program a DSS key to the executive (station number).  
Executive as primary station  
An executive can also be a primary station in a basic MULAP group but can be defined as an executive only in an executive MULAP group.  
Executive ring  
If an executive in the executive MULAP group calls a non-executive in the local executive MULAP group, the call is signaled by a special, acoustic executive ring.  
Group call key, incoming MULAP call signaling  
 •   In the executive MULAP group, incoming MULAP call signaling can be administered only for non-executives.
 •   Executives cannot configure a group call key (for activating and deactivating MULAP call signaling) for the executive MULAP group.
If necessary, the ringer cutoff function can be used to deactivate the acoustic ring on an executive telephone. An advisory ring is issued.
 •   Non-executives (secretaries) can configure a group call key for activating and deactivating MULAP call signaling. Ring transfer has priority; meaning that the group call key is activated only when ring transfer is deactivated. Signaling on the two keys is separate.
Call transfer key, incoming MULAP call signaling  
 •   All members of an executive MULAP group can program a local ring transfer key for each executive MULAP. A secretary with multiple executives has multiple executive MULAPs and, therefore, multiple ring transfer keys.
The default setting for the ring transfer key is "deactivated" (LED off). Calls are signaled on the secretary.
When the ring transfer key is pressed (LED on), MULAP call signaling is transferred within the executive MULAP group. Executives are signaled with MULAP call signaling and non-executives are signaled visually.
 •   Calls between members of the executive MULAP group or within a Top are not affected by ring transfer: Executives in the executive MULAP group always ring.
Calls to another executive MULAP group always take ring transfer into account. Exceptions: Calls set up by means of a DSS key.
 •   Ring transfer can be activated or deactivated using a
- Code. Afterwards, the MULAP number must be suffix-dialed.
- Menu. After dialing the ring transfer code.
For supported stations, see HiPath 3000/5000 Service Manual, Appendix B
 •   The ring transfer state is not indicated by a special dial tone.
 •   Ring transfer has priority; meaning that the group call key is activated only when ring transfer is deactivated. Signaling on the two keys is separate.
Conversion to V1.0  
Top functions (executive/secretary) from earlier releases of Hicom 150 E Office (such as Rel. 2.2) cannot be converted to HiPath 3000/5000 V1.0.  
Top configuration  
If the Top configuration has more than one executive and one secretary, you need to use a key module.  
Uniform Call Distribution (UCD)  
You cannot use MULAPs in the universal call distribution system.  

Configuration Options  
This feature can be configured using Manager T or HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E.

Configuring the Feature Using Manager T  
Tops should normally be configured using HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E. Configuration using Manager T is possible only to a limited extent.

Configuring the Feature Using HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E  
HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E can be used to configure a default Team (Team/Top mask). Members can be added to the team by drag and drop. The executive MULAP group, basic MULAP group and its MULAP key, and the ring transfer and DSS keys are configured automatically. The basic and executive MULAP groups are assigned the original station numbers of the primary station/executive and the primary station/executive is assigned a pseudo station number (examples: 4711 becomes **4711, 12345 becomes **2345, 654321 becomes **4321).
