These instructions help you configure your Siemens Realitis/HiPath DX phone system to work with TIM Enterprise. Contact your system maintainer if you are not familiar with the configuration of your PBX.

Configuring your CIL output

CIL access over Ethernet

In addition to CIL access over V.24 ports, all Realitis DX and iSDX systems with firmware revision 6.0 and above can send their CIL information by Ethernet. The System/UPI card - ACI - only allows a maximum of three such connections; subsequent connection requests are rejected.

To set up and activate this feature, a request must be made to Product Management at Siemens, Beeston.

Connecting to the CIL server

TIM Enterprise establishes a TCP connection to the IP address of the System/UPI card of your Siemens phone system.

You can choose the IP address of the System/UPI card by setting the variable IPACT in the permanent database. Your local maintenance engineer should be able to program this address for you.

The default listening port is 17257.
