AT&T 555-230-520 manual ASAI-Requested Digit Collection

Call Prompting

NOTE:

When the TTR is disconnected due to a route-to number, route-to digits, converse-onor an adjunct routing step, all dial-ahead digits will be discarded. This means that following a failed route-to, converse or adjunct routing step, a subsequent collect digits step always requires the user to enter digits.

The caller who enters dial-ahead digits no doubt knows which digits to enter ahead of time due to his or her familiarity with the service provided. Once the caller masters the digit sequence relevant to a particular service, the dial-ahead digit capability saves time and also eliminates much of the redundancy associated with automatic telephone servicing.

ASAI-Requested Digit Collection

The ASAI-requested digit collection feature gives an adjunct the ability to request that a DTMF tone detector (TN744 or TN 2182) be connected for the purpose of detecting user-entered digits. The digits collected as a result of this feature are passed to ASAI monitoring and/or controlling adjuncts for action. The switch handles these digits like dial-ahead digits. This feature allows the caller to request Sequence Dialing after the call has been routed to the final destination and has resulted in an unanswered call (busy, no answer, etc).

Note that these digits are not necessarily collected while the call is in vector processing. They are sent to an ASAI adjunct, and/or they may be used by Call Prompting features.

ASAI Adjunct Routing and Call Prompting features must be enabled on the switch for this feature to work.
