When

pr ccessing a call, the

Toshii VP System refers to the database tables to determine how to

 

 

handle

the call. Fqure l-2

shows the flow of a Primary mered

Call, noting which tables are

referred to for what information.

H Evaluating the Digits Entered by the Caller

The digits the caller enters are the mailk

number.

The

Ta

VP System checks the

 

FIRSTDIGXT Table to determine

the number of digits

to expect.

If

the fti

digit

of the

 

number

entered is not in the J3RSTDIGlT

Table,

the

Tti

VP

System informs

the caller

%aensim

XXX doesmt exist.- If

a Custom

Error

Prompt

has been

defiied

for that’ffl

digit,

the TW

VP System plays that

prompt.

If the

fm

digit

is vaIid

(entry exists in

the

 

FIR!TTpIGlT Table), the Tixhiba VP System collects the appropriate number of digits and chxks the USER Table.

m Checking the USER Table

If the number is not in the USER Table but the fti digit is x&d, the Toshiba VP System places the caller on hold and attempts to call the digits entered. If the tones heard are ringback or btq, the call is processed as normal.

To determine the appropriate number of rings to wait for no mer, or other parameters, the Tahiba VP System checks the appropriate table.

PORTS Table

SLOTS Table

If error tone is heard (also referred to as “reorder”

or tihowler”),

the l’ixhiba VP S*Wem

drops the line and returns to the caller with “&tin

XXX dotz

rwt exist.”

If the number entered is in the USER Table, the Tahiba VP System checks to determine if there is an associated extension or other digits to be dialed, and processes the call- Usuaily the the ma&ox and extension numbers are the same. However, the ‘kxtension” entry of the USER Table may be anything that can be legally dialed on the PBX, such as a PBX speed number, a hunt group, or even an access code for an outgoing trunk.
