INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to installation and use the GTI (Global Telephone Interconnect) Configurator software to
configure the GTI units used in the ELI option.. A companion manual, the EDACS Enhanced Local Interconnect (ELI)
system manual (LBI-39076), describes the installation, configuration, and operation of the ELI option. The information in this
manual is presented in the sequence you should need it. Do not skip over any section until you are sure you understand it. If
more information is needed for Call Detail file format, see Appendix A in LBI-38965 for the Billing Correlation Unit.
Keyboard instructions in this manual are given in either of two ways. One way instructs you to type whatever is shown
between a set of quotation marks. For example, type “a:” means for you to press the key for the letter A and then hold down
the Shift key while you press the key for the colon. The other way instructs you to push a specific key using its common name
such as: Escape key, Shift key, Enter key, Space bar, or Down Arrow key.
DESCRIPTION
The GTI Configurator software is used to run a multi-system, multi-channel, telephone-interconnect management system on
an IBM-compatible office PC, referred to as the GTI Configurator. The software allows you to manage the GTI DID user
database for each system, manage the interconnect billing information from each system, monitor call data from each system
in real time, and remotely make level and hybrid balance adjustments to each telephone line. The software is supplied on both
3-1/2" and 5-1/4" floppy disks for your convenience. Once the software is installed in the office PC and the PC is connected
to a GTI unit in the system, you can run it at any time.
INSTALLATION
This section describes the installation of the GTI Configurator software. The installation has been divided into the following
topics:
• Office PC Requirements
• First Time Installation Instructions
• Upgrade Installation Instructions
• Separate Billing File Directory
OFFICE PC REQUIREMENTS
The GTI Configurator software has been written to operate on an IBM-compatible PC using an MS-DOS operating system.
This PC must be equipped as follows:
• Microprocessor - 80386 or higher recommended
• Operating System - MS-DOS version 3.2 or higher
• Hard Disk - 10 Mbytes minimum free memory space
• RAM - 640 Kbytes minimum, but 2 Mbytes recommend
• Floppy Drive - 1.2 Mbyte 5-1/4" or 1.44 Mbyte 3-1/2"
• Monitor - monochrome or color
If you intend to connect a printer, the office PC must have an available parallel port. If the office PC is to be located more
than 50 feet from the GTI units, you will also need one or two modems (see the Data Link to GTI Units section).
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
If this is the first time the GTI Configurator software is being installed in your office PC, use the following procedure:
1. Turn on the office PC to be used as the GTI Configurator, and wait until the characters C:\>_ are displayed on the
screen. If the office PC is already on, exit any program that may be running, type “CD\”, and press the Enter key.
The characters C:\>_ should then be displayed on the next line of the screen.
