Passing Digits to an Adjunct
Call Prompti ng allows for the passing of informat ion (in th e form of collected
digits) to an adjunct for further processing. Digits are passed to the ad junct via
the ASAI Adjunct Routing capability.
An adjunct is any processor that is connected to a switch via the ASAI link. The
adjunct makes a routing decision via the
adjunct routing command according to
caller information and/or agent availability, and it returns the routing response to
the switch. For example, t he adjunct c an indicate the call be routed t o a specific
ACD agent (direct-agent option).
A maximum of 16 Call Promptin g dig its fro m the last
collect digits command can
be passed to the adjunct via use of the
adjunct routing command.
The following vector illustrates how Call Prom ptin g digits are passed to an
adjunct:
Figure 5-7. Passing Digits to an Adjunct
In Step 2 of this vector, the cal ler is asked to enter a 10-digit account number.
Once the account number i s e n tered, th e adjunct receives this information via the
adjunct routing comman d in Step 3. This com m and then makes the appropriate
routing de c ision if it is ab le to d o so. If the c o m ma n d succeeds within the
specified wait time, the command routes th e ca ll to the appropriate d esti nat ion,
and the call leaves vector processing. If the command fails, vector processing
continues at the next step.
