AT&T 555-230-520 manual Sending the Call Route Request, Adjunct Routing Vector

Adjunct Routing

extension, or a particular agent. An adjunct can also provide priority ringing and priority queuing.

Sending the Call Route Request

Here’s an example of a simple vector that uses adjunct routing:

1.adjunct routing link 1111

2.wait-time 60 seconds hearing ringback

3.route-to number 0 with cov n if unconditionally

4.disconnect after announcement 2000

Figure 9-1. Adjunct Routing Vector

In this vector, 1111 is the extension number of an ASAI link. Each ASAI link has a unique extension number, even in a configuration where there might be multiple ASAI links to the same adjunct.

When a call encounters an adjunct routing command, and if the call is not queued to a split, the switch sends an ASAI message requesting a call route over the specified adjunct link. The following list identifies the contents of the message, along with a comment or a brief explanation for each item:

■Calling number information. Calling party number or billing number (CPN/BN) provided by ISDN-PRI facilities, or by the administered destination for other trunk facilities. If the call originates from a local switch extension, this extension is the number dialed (after digit translation).

■Called number. Originally called extension (if a call is forwarded to a VDN), or the first VDN through which the call was routed (if the call was not forwarded to the VDN).

■Routing VDN. Last VDN that routed the call to the vector that contains the adjunct routing command.

■Call identifier. ASAI identifier that permits the ASAI adjunct to track multiple calls via either Event Notification or Third Party Call Control. (See DEFINITY Communications System Generic 3 Feature Description, 555- 230-204, or the DEFINITY Generic 3 CallVisor ASAI Technical Reference, 555-230-220, for more information on ASAI.)

■Look-Ahead Interflow information (if any). Includes the original VDN display information and the priority level of the call at the originating switch. (See Chapter 8.)

■Digits collected via Call Prompting (if any; maximum of 16 digits). Digits are collected by the most recent collect digits command. (See Chapter 5.)
