The interaction ‘‘Stop’’ means the following: vector processing is stopped, the call remains queued to a split, and the caller continues to hear feedback initiated by a previous step. In the case where the route- to command fails and processing stops (due to a busy station or trunk group destination), retry can be implemented in the vector. Retrying is accomplished by including an unconditional goto step as the last step to allow for a loop back to the route to command. Use of an intermediate wait-timecommand step with appropriate feedback and delay interval is strongly recommended in order to reduce processor occupancy.

The call is removed from vector processing (that is, the call is taken out of any split queue, and any feedback, such as music or ringback, is removed) for with coverage y interactions, even if the destination is not available. Any route-to with coverage y step that routes over ISDN-PRI facilities cancels the Look-Ahead Interflow feature. Specifically, the call is taken out of vector processing when the step is reached, regardless of facility or remote switch availability. If the call is subsequently ‘‘rejected’’ by the receiving switch vector, the call is given the treatment defined by

the ‘‘rejection’’ command (either busy ororcedf disconnect). Finally, note that a call routed via an adjunct routing command is treated the same way as a call that is routed via a route-to with coverage y command.

Invalid destinations include the following: empty (for example, zero collected digits) or invalid route-todestination number, unassigned extension number, incomplete number of digits for AAR/ARS pattern, non-AAR/ARS feature access code (FAC), maintenance busy station extension, COR of the VDN that prevents access (for example, origination restricted), FRL of a VDN that is lower than required for the AAR/ARS pattern access, no routes assigned to the AAR/ARS pattern, incompatible calling and destination partitions, ACTGA trunk group destination, or an off-net forwarding destination. If a TAC (trunk access code) destination is involved, and if the TAC is for a CO/FX trunk with a route-to with coverage n step, the digits entered must match a valid ARS analysis string. If not, the destination is considered invalid. For other trunk types with a route-to number or route-to digits with coverage n step, the step succeeds when the trunk is seized (that is, vector processing stops). For a route-to with coverage y step, the step succeeds if the TAC is assigned.

On the sending switch, the call is removed from vector processing (that is, the call is taken out of any split queue and any feedback, such as music or ringback, is removed).
