“CO Provides Progress Tones” T1Programming Flag
As shown above, the “CO Provides Progress Tones”
flag was added to the Trunk Programming — T1 Pro-
grammingscreen. This flag is used forT1C and T1/PRI
boards only.
This flag wasadded because, when the AXXESS Sys-
tem provides local ringback, some central officestake
toolong t o send the AXXESS System the connect mes-
sagewhen a call is received. (This is particularly true in
the UK.) Whenthe CO connects a call too slowly, the
AXXESS user can answer before the caller is on the
line, causing the caller to miss the greeting (such as
“Welcome to Inter-Tel. How may I help you?”).
If this flag is enable d, the AXXESS System does not
providelocal ringback. Instead, the AXXESSconnects
the call to the line and the caller hears CO ringback.
That way, when the called party answers,the calling
party is already on the line.
The flag is shown disabled in the sample screen above,
becauseit is disabled by default. Most sites will notre-
quire this flag and it is best to leave it disabled unless
the delayed-connect problem occurs.
