The application in the adjunct processor requests Third Party Make Calls with the alert_dest_first, service circuit = switch-classified, and max_ring_cycles options set (that is, switch-classified calls). The first call shown receives busy tone. The second call is not answered within the specified max_ring_cycles time.

Note that the agent is not notified of calls that receive busy or are not answered. The application stores the call outcomes (for example, busy, no answer, SIT tone) for later call processing.
