Assigning Digital Channels to Speech Applications

A telephony private branch exchange (PBX) switch uses Dialed Number Information Service (DNIS) to identify each digital channel. DNIS supplies the digital telephony board with the telephone number that the caller dialed. Speech Application Deployment Service (SADS) uses the supplied telephone number to associate the dialed number with an application.

To find the DNIS numbers, ask the administrator for the PBX switch that handles the calls. The switch administrator should be able to identify the phone numbers for each T1 circuit connected to a port on the telephony board. DNIS numbers should be 10 digits with no spaces or dashes (for example, 4255550100).

To learn how to assign more than one phone number to a single application, see Assigning Multiple Channels to a Single Application.

To assign a digital channel to an application that handles inbound calls

1. Open the Microsoft Speech Server (MSS) snap-in for Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
2. In the console tree, expand Microsoft Speech Server, and then expand the applicable group.
3. In the details pane, double-click the Web server where Speech Application Deployment Service (SADS) is installed. This opens the SADS properties page.
4. Click Add, type the URL and file name for the application's manifest file (Manifest.xml) in the Application Manifest URL box, and then click OK. For example, type http://My_WebServer/My_Speech_Application/Manifest.xml.
5. Select the Enabled check box to make the application available to callers.
6. Under the selected application, type the name of the application in the Name box. The name that you type must match the application name entry in the manifest file.
7. Under the selected application, type the DNIS number in the DNIS or port number box.
8. Click OK.
