AT&T AT&T manual Setting Up a Third-Party Call, 240

Setting Up A Third-Party Call

To set up a call from the third-party data terrninal, the user selects <Voice call> from the entry-level Command Mode menu (see Figure 2-51).The user then enters the characters as required to call the destination terminal. Calls may be completed as follows.

Note: If a character is entered incorrectly, the ASCII character backspace (BS or CTRL-H keys) or underscore (_) may be used to cancel a previously entered character.

Calling a Destination Terminal (source terminal is NOT associated with the third-

party data terminal)

After the user	has	selected <Voice call> from	the Command Mode menu, a DIAL: prompt
is displayed on	the	third-partydata terminal.	The user has 15 seconds to begin entering the

digits to be dialed before being disconnected. The format of the digits following the DIAL: prompt is shown below:

DIAL: {Destination}F{Source}

The Destination number must include all digits required to call the destination terminal and may contain facility access codes, speed dialing codes, and pauses (*). An “F” may be entered immediately following the Destination digits; this character is used to separate the Destination number from the Source number. The Source number must be a Personal Dial Code when the source is a voice terminal, or a Data Dial Code when the source is a data terminal. Floating PDCs are not allowed.

If the user enters the Destination number but not the Source number, the system prompts as indicated below:

FROM: { Source}

The user must then enter the Source number.

Calling a Destination Terminal (source terminal is associated with the third-party

data terminal)

Following the DIAL: prompt the user enters the Destination number only. (System 25 will automatically select the associated PDC or DDC as the Source number. )

If the	third-party data terminal is permitted to establish calls for any source terminal,				the
format	{Destination}F{Source} must	be used to set up calls for	any terminal	except	the
associated source terminal.
Considerations
With	this feature, computer-based	telemarketing or other calling	applications	can set	up

calls for the user.
