route-to

idle appearance is available), vector processing continues at the next vector command.

If the number is a VDN extension, the following events occur:

Vector processing terminates within the current vector.

If the current VDN is administered with override, the new VDN overrides current VDN information.

Processing of the vector associated with the VDN extension begins.

If the number is an AAR/ARS FAC plus digits, or if it is a remote UDP extension, standard AAR/ARS processing is performed to select the trunk group and outpulse the digits. If a trunk is seized, vector processing terminates, and the calling party hears feedback provided by the far end. Otherwise, the call cannot complete successfully (because no trunks are available, the FRL/COR is restricted, etc.), and vector processing continues at the next vector command.

If the number is a TAC plus digits, and a trunk is seized, vector processing terminates, and the calling party hears feedback provided by the far end. Otherwise, the call cannot complete successfully (because no trunks are available, the COR is restricted, etc.), and vector processing continues at the next vector command.

If the number is any other number (such as an FAC other than an AAR/ARS or Service Observing), the command is unsuccessful, and vector processing continues at the next vector command.

Abbreviated Dialing special characters can also be used in the number field. Each of these characters instructs the system to take a different action when dialing reaches the point where the character is stored. The characters are as follows:

~ p (pause)

~w (wait)

~m (mark)

~s (suppress)

~W (indefinite wait)

Each special character counts as two digits towards the maximum. The maximum number of digits for the command is 16.

The route-to digits command can be used to implement an automated attendant function.
