AT&T 555-230-520 manual Answer Supervision Considerations, BCMS/CMS Interactions

adjunct routing

If the announcement’s queue is currently full, the call retries the announcement step every five seconds and for an indefinite period of time before any new vector steps are processed.

The announcement command step is skipped, and vector processing continues at the next vector step, whenever any of the following conditions exist:

■Requested announcement is busied out, not available, or not administered.

■Integrated board is not installed.

■External aux trunk or analog equipment is not attached.

For a complete description of the types and operation of announcements see “Recorded Announcements” in the DEFINITY Communications System Generic 3 Feature Description, 555-230-204.

Answer Supervision Considerations

Unless answer supervision has already been sent, it is sent as soon as the command starts to process the call (even before the announcement starts).

Feature Interactions

For Look-Ahead Interflow, the command may be considered a call acceptance vector command or a neutral vector command.

The command is considered a call acceptance vector command whenever one of the following is true:

■Announcement is available.

■Call is queued for an announcement.

■Announcement is retried.

The command is considered a neutral vector command whenever the announcement is unavailable.

BCMS/CMS Interactions

The command is not tracked on CMS or BCMS.
