Lucent Technologies Release 8.2 manual 342 CID

Distributed Communications System B Private Networking

•DCS Operation

If an RLT trunk group is administered as a DCS trunk, the following interaction applies: On an incoming CAS call to the attendant, the DCS message displays instead of the name of the incoming RLT trunk group. Upon answering the call, the attendant hears call-identification tones, indicating that the call is a CAS call. Use a TRUNK-NAME button to obtain the name of the RLT trunk group.

•DXS and DTGS Buttons

DXS and DTGS buttons at the main attendant console can be used with CAS. However, with DXS buttons, it takes a few seconds before the attendant hears ringback tone.

•Emergency Access to the Attendant

CAS Branch Emergency Access calls generated by a Feature Access Code route Off-Hook Alert to the branch attendant group. If there is no attendant in the branch, the call routes to the branch’s administered Emergency Access Redirection Extension. When the branch switch is in CAS Backup Service, the calls route to the backup station and the call is treated as a normal call.

•Hunt Groups

If an incoming CAS call directs to a hunt group, the call does not redirect to the hunt group’s coverage path. Depending on the circumstances, the attendant can get a busy tone or ringing.

•Leave Word Calling

If a message is left for a branch user and the attendant at the CAS switch tries to retrieve the message by using LWC message retrieval, permission is denied.

•Night Service — Night Console Service

When the CAS main enters night service, CAS calls terminate at the CAS main night-service destination. When the branch enters Night Service, CAS calls route to the branch night console, the LDN night station, or the TAAS.

•Night Service — Trunk Answer from Any Station

In a multiswitch DCS environment with CAS, the result of transferring incoming trunk calls via Night Service Extension or Trunk Answer from Any Station varies depending on the home switch of the transferred-to station, the home switch of the connected trunk, and the type of night-service function chosen (Night Service Extension, Trunk Answer From Any Station, or both).

•Nonattendant Console Handling of CAS Calls

The CAS branch calls terminate at the CAS main based on the incoming RLT trunk-group day destination or night-service destination. You can also answer a CAS call by the Trunk Answer Any Station feature.
