ASAI Release History

MultiQuest Flexible Billing

This feature is an interface to the AT&T MultiQuest 900 Vari-A-Bill Service, an inbound calling capability that allows an ASAI adjunct to change the rate at which an incoming 900-type call is billed.

The ASAI adjunct also produces billing change messages.

Redirect Call

This feature allows an ASAI adjunct to direct the ECS to move an already alerting call away from an extension (at which it is alerting) to another extension. Prior to G3V4, such routing was possible only if ECS features, rather than an ASAI-provided service, were used (for example, call forwarding or Send All Calls). With this service, an application could, for example, determine, based on call-related information, whether to answer the call or re-route it to some other number.

This service does not support removing a call from a queue. Only calls alerting at extensions can be manipulated by this service.

ASAI-Accessed Integrated Directory Database

Service

This feature allows an ASAI adjunct to access and retrieve administered name-extension associations stored in the ECS (all administered names associated with station extension numbers, trunk groups, and VDNs). The application accesses this data via a new Value Query message containing the target extension. If a valid Query Message is submitted, the ECS responds with a RELease COMplete message containing the administered name associated with the specified extension.

Event Report Capabilities

Enhancements to Event Reports allow ASAI adjuncts to receive Event Reports when specified events occur at monitored objects. In addition, in the Alerting Event Report, new cause values are provided to specify a reason for redirection.

The following are descriptions of new/changed Event Reports for G3V4:

Agent Login Event Report

This is a new Event Report provided when an agent logs into a monitored ACD group or EAS skill. In contrast to earlier versions, current applications do not preclude agents from logging in (or out) manually. (Previously, logging in could be
