Customer Routing Point (CRP)
AT&T’s terminology for third-party processors that accept routing
requests from the CCSS7 network. Within the Intelligent CallRouter, the
Network Interface Controller (NIC) acts as a CRP.
Customer Support Forwarding Service (CSFS)
The facility within the ICR Logger that receives events from all parts of
the ICR, filters them, and saves appropriate messages. The Data Transfer
Process (DTP) sends these messages to GeoTel Customer Support.
Database Manager
The part of the ICR system that stores information about the entire
system in the central database. The Database Manager maintains the data
that is used in reporting and making routing decisions.
Database schema
The organization of information within a database. The schema consists
of table, field, and index definitions.
DDSN. See Distributed Diagnostics and Service Network.
DDSN Transfer Protocol (DTP)
The process on the ICR Logger that connects to GeoTel Customer
Support and delivers any messages saved by the Customer Support
Forwarding Service (CSFS). The DTP is part of the Distributed
Diagnostics and Service Network (DDSN) which ensures that GeoTel
Customer Support is informed promptly of any unexpected behavior
within the ICR.
Default call type
The call type the ICR uses if a call’s qualifiers do not map to any
specific call type definition. You can specify a default call type for each
routing client and a general default.
Delay in queue
The sum of time calls spent in the queue for a route or service. Delay in
queue can also take into consideration abandoned calls. For example, the
DelayQAbandTimeToHalf is the sum of time spent in queue for all calls
to a route or service abandoned in queue during a half-hour interval.
Delay time
The time spent processing a call after it arrives at a peripheral, but
before it is either queued or presented to an agent.
Deleted field
Many tables include a Deleted field. This field marks rows that have
been deleted but that still have active dependencies. For example, if a
script references Agent X and you delete Agent X, the ICR does not
