ASAI and Value Query Capabilities

characters are ASCII characters). If four tildes appear in a name sent by the ECS, then the characters following the first and third tildes will use the special European or Katakana character map so that the characters can be translated; the second and fourth tildes discontinue special character mapping and resume the use of ASCII characters. To illustrate the use of tildes for character mapping and translation, the Spanish name, “Pe~n~a,” is received from the ECS by ASAI and this name is subsequently translated by the ASAI adjunct to “Peña.” The first tilde in this name turns on character mapping and the second tilde turns it off. It should be noted that the application can only present the translated name to the user if the operating system supports the European and Katakana character sets. For details on character mapping, see the “Enhanced Voice Terminal Display” section in Chapter 4 of the DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 5 Administration and Feature Descriptions, 555-230-522.

Party_ID Query ACK Parameters

The ECS responds with the party_id and the extension number (on-PBX extensions — local parties) on the call.

The ECS responds with the following information in the value parameter of the acknowledgment to the Party_id Query request:

party_id is a list of identifiers for the endpoints on the specific call (call_id).

extension_number is a list of extension numbers for each party on the call. A party on the call may be an on-PBX connected extension, an alerting extension, or a split hunt group extension (when the call is queued). When a call is queued on more than one split hunt group, only one split hunt group extension is provided in the response to such query. For calls that are alerting at various groups (for example, hunt group, TEG, and so forth), the group extension is reported to the adjunct. For calls that are connected to the member of a group, the group member’s extension is reported back to the adjunct.

For off-PBX parties, the ECS always provides an extension entry even though it may contain the default value. A default value of ##### is provided.
