ASAI and Domain Control

There is a special case where an adjunct can receive a positive acknowledgment, but the redirect may fail. For example, if the call is redirected to an off-premises number and the network trunk is seized, the ECS considers this successful redirection and drops the redirecting party. The caller may hear any network-provided call progress tones.

Party_ids may be re-used if the call is redirected more than once.

An application using this feature should consider the timing for redirecting a call, particularly when redirecting away from a display user. If a display station user gets an incoming call and the application redirects it immediately, the station user may not have enough time to read the display (the incoming call information) before it is cleared by the application.

Since it is not possible to redirect busy calls, if possible an application should check whether the call had resulted in a busy condition before attempting to redirect it. This may be done if the application receives the appropriate call progress events from the ECS (such as “busy,” “reorder/denial,” or “connected”). ASAI Redirect Call allows an incoming trunk call to be redirected to an outgoing trunk call even when trunk-to-trunk transfer is disallowed.

The call state may change between the Alerting event and the service request for redirection. An application should therefore expect certain NAKs and handle them appropriately.

If a call alerts to a principal station A, as well as to station B as a bridged appearance of A, then a call cannot be redirected from station A to a primary appearance on station B using the Redirect Call Feature.
