Outbound Dialing

The mechanism used by an ASAI adjunct to ask the ECS to launch a call on behalf of an ACD split, detect when the call is answered, and connect the far end to an available agent in the split.

The D-channel is the 24th channel of the interface and contains multiplexed signaling information for the other 23 channels.
