II-Digits Routing Example

The following example demonstrates bra nching calls with different ii-digits to

different VDNs. The VDN override is set to “yes” on the called VDN. In this way,

the VDN name or VDN o f Ori gin Announc e ment can be used to convey to the

agent the type of ii-digits associated with the call.

Table 7-2. II-digits Summary
