VDN

Vector Directory Number

Vector command

A command used in call vectoring to specify the treatment a call will receive. Commands include main or backup Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) split queuing with priority levels and inflow-threshold checking; delays with specified feedback such as ringback, music, silence, or announcements; collecting digits; routing to internal or external destinations; and unconditional and conditional branching. Conditional branching is based on call-handling conditions of the ACD splits, collected digits, or on time of day and day of the week. See also Vectors and Vector step.

Vector-Controlled Split

A hunt group or ACD split administered with the “vector field” enabled. Access to such a split is only possible by dialing a VDN extension. Vector-Controlled Splits cannot be Active Notification Domains.

Vector Directory Number (VDN)

An extension that provides access to the Vectoring feature on the ECS. Vectoring allows a customer to specify the treatment of incoming calls based on the dialed number.

Or, an extension number that terminates at a vector. Calls to the VDN are processed by the vector to which the VDN points. When used with vectoring, the dialed number received by the communications system to provide Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) is the VDN assigned for that service.

Vectors

Easily programmed routing tables for processing incoming calls that provide various responses to the caller before the call is answered or receives other treatment. See also Call vectoring, Vector Directory Number, Vector command, and Vector step.

Vector step

One of a series of steps processed sequentially within a vector unless a step with a Goto command or Stop command is encountered or vector processing terminates. A step consists of an action to be taken and the information needed to complete the action. See also Call vectoring, Vector command, and Vectors.

VN4
