Block Types and Descriptions

EClass Block

Description

The EClass (Class of Service) Block is an expansion or extension of service parameters which pertain to an Extension Block. All extension blocks are associated with one Eclass Block.

Eclass Blocks specify the voice prompts and operating parameters to be used when transferring calls to Extension Blocks and what to do in the event of a failed transfer (ring-no-answer or busy). It authorizes subscribers to make Outcalls and allows their callers to have them paged via Overhead Paging. There is no limit to the number of Extension Blocks the EClass Block may be associated with.

The Operating Modes in the CallDirector section of the EClass Block provide the flexibility to handle calls differently for various modes of operation (typically at different times of the day). The CallDirector uses Event Pointers to pass control of the caller.

Caller Input Control

Wait for Entry The time, in seconds, that extensions in this ECLASS will wait for the caller to make an entry. This parameter is in effect after prompts play requesting caller entry on a failed transfer. This time begins after a prompt is spoken or after the last digit is pressed. This parameter should be kept in the 3-5 second range to avoid long delays by the SVMi-8. The allowable inputs are 0-99 seconds.
