Connection
State Indicates the current c all state of the AC. The following are connection
states associated with dia l-out ACs:
■enabled - is transient in nature and indic ates that an AC is about
to enter the attempting to c onnect state.
■disabled - this may mean one of three things:
— The AC has reached an administe red retry threshold, and all
retries are stopped. Verify this by chec king the Error Log and
checking whether an error typ e of 9 is logged against the AC.
— The AC was in a connected state and the far end disconnec ted.
— The initial channel call has not yet c onnected. No dial out call
attempt is made for the add itional channel(s) until the initial
channel has reached a c onnected state.
■not scheduled - is transient in nature and indic ates that an AC is
about to enter the “attempting to connect” s tate.
■waiting to retry - means that the AC is inactive (sleepin g)
and waiting for the retry timer to expi re. Once the timer expires, the
AC sends a dial out call and enters the “attempting to connect”
state. ACs in this state indicate that the dial out call has failed at
least once.
■attempting to connect - means that the AC is active on a c all,
but the call has not yet c onnected.
■connected - means that the call associated with the AC has been
answered and join cut-thru to the conference.
Retry Count This field indicates how many retries have b een attempted for this AC
during this join attempt. This field does not clear when the AC
connects. However, it cle ars when a new join attempt is made via a
Redial feature. Note that this is different from the Join Count which
counts the number of times the c hannel joined the conferenc e during
this conference session.
Failure Cause This field shows an ISDN or CPTR cause value (values lower than 0x7f)
recorded when the last d ial out call was drop ped. Values above 0x7f
are generated internally. Table 8-13 lists all possible failure c ause
values displayed by this field and its associated description. The
Failure Cause value is logged in the Error Log and can be
displayed via the d isplay errors command . (Err Type is normally
displayed as a decimal.)
