ASAI and Feature Interactions

Call Waiting
When an analog station is administered with this feature and a call comes in while the user is busy on another call, the Alerting Event Report is sent to the adjunct.This call is eligible for redirection via Redirect Call.
Centralized Attendant Service (CAS)
Starting with R5.5: Some customers may have CAS configurations in which certain branch DEFINITY ECS systems have no direct connections to the public network. In such configurations, ASAI adjuncts on these DEFINITY ECS systems are not able to receive the cost of the outgoing calls to the public network because the charging information is not passed back to the branch DEFINITY ECS systems on Release Link Trunks (RLT). However, there is an instance in which a centralized attendant at a main DEFINITY ECS system receives a call from a user on a branch DEFINITY ECS requesting an outgoing Advice of Charge (AOC) trunk on the branch ECS. The centralized attendant will seize a trunk on the branch ECS and provide dial tone to the branch user. If the user connects with an outside party and charging information is sent from the network, the charging number in the Charging Event Report will be the branch station extension. The interactions with CAS are identical to the attendant providing
Class of Restriction (COR)
Direct Agent Calling is a field on the Class of Restriction (COR) form that must be set to “y” for both the destination and originator. If either the originating or destination party of the direct agent call1 does not have the proper COR, then the Third Party Make Call request is positively acknowledged, but the call is denied, and the adjunct receives a Reorder/Denial Event Report. In the case of adjunct routing, the COR of the associated VDN is used for calling party restriction checks. If an adjunct attempts to route a call (via the Route Select capability) as a
