Issue 4 September 1995 A-77

Stop Command

stop

Purpose

Halts the processing of any subsequent vector steps.

Syntax

stop

Requirements

Basic Call Vectoring or Call Prompt ing software must b e inst alle d .

Operation

After the

stop

command is processed, any calls already queued remain q ueued,

and any wait treatment (for example, silence, ringback, music) is continued. On

the other hand, any calls not queued are dropped under the same scenario.

If a TTR is allocated to the call, and if the

stop

command is encountered, the TTR

is disconnected. However, current call processing continues (that is, the call is

not dropped). The caller continues to hear the feedback that was provided

before the

stop

command was encountered.

NOTE:

An implicit stop is processed following the last administered command in a

vector.

Answer Supervision Considerations

The comma n d has no effect on answer supervision.

Feature Interactions

For Look-Ahead Interflow, the co mmand is considered a neutral ve ctor command

in all cases except when a call is dropped, then it is considered a denial.
