Time is represented in 24-hour format and activation times are ascend ing from the
earliest to the latest. There are no gaps in the activation times; the entire day is
covered. If you do not assign a lead-coverage path to a specif ic time inte rv al, there
is no coverage from that time until the next activation time wi th an assigned
lead-coverage path.
When a call arrives at a principal, the system queries fo r the lead coverage path in
effect at that time and uses that information to det ermine call redirection. If call
coverage is changed via administration while the call is in progress, the
administration changes do not affect that call.
Off-Net Call Coverage
Call Coverage allows a call to be redirected to a desti nation on t he publi c netw ork.
The remote (off-net) number is administered on the Remote Call Coverage Table
screen and may have up to 16 digits including either the outgoing trunk access
code (TAC) or the feature access code (FAC) specifying ARS or AAR. Any
coverage point can be an off-net destination.
Whenever an incoming trunk call is redirected off-net (coverage or forwarded), a
timer is set that precludes any other incomi ng trunk call from redirecting off-net
until the timer either expires or is cancelled. The rationale for this mechanism is to
prevent calls that were redirected off-net from be ing re- route d back to t he or igina l
principal from the off-net destination, effectively creating a round-robin loop that
continuously seizes trunks until they are exhausted.
