Calling Party Feedback
The initial fee dback a caller hears as the call is being processed by a vector
depends upon the origin classification of the call, which can be one of the
following:
■Internal (internal call from another Generic 3 user)
■Non-CO (incoming call over a DID or tie trunk over which incoming digits
are received)
■CO (incoming call over a CO or automatic t ype tie trunk over which no
digits are received)
For an internal or a non-CO call, the caller hears silence until one of the following
vector steps is reached:
■Wait with system music, ringback, or an alternate audio/music source
(Caller hears system music, ringing, or the music or audio associat ed with
an administered port.)
■Announcement (Caller hears the announcement.)
■Busy (Caller hears a busy tone.)
■Call alerting an agent or at a station (Caller hears ringing or the agent
answering the call.)
