Attendant Display; Automatic Circuit Assurance; Busy Verification Of Telephones And Trunks - Lucent Technologies DEFINITY User Manual

Operating in a Distributed Communications System
Environment
Attempts to activate ACTGA for a remote trunk group that has a different Trunk
Access Code (TAC) than the local switch causes the Trunk Group button to be
displayed in pink. Contact the System Administrator if this problem occurs.

Attendant Display

In a DCS environment, the Attendant Display feature has the same transparency
with respect to Calling Party Identification, Called Party Identification, Class of
Restriction (COR) display, and Class of Service (COS) display.
On outgoing calls, the display of called party information may be delayed a few
seconds until the required information arrives from the remote switch.

Automatic Circuit Assurance

Transparency of the Automatic Circuit Assurance (ACA) feature in a DCS
environment allows an attendant at a Generic 1 or Generic 3 end-point node to
activate or deactivate ACA referral calls for the entire DCS network. This
transparency also allows the referral calls to be generated at a switch other than
the switch that detects the trunk problem. Referral calls are handled the same
way as in a non-DCS environment. When a referral call is generated from a
remote DCS node, the call bar associated with that call indicates the PBX ID of
the remote node that originated the alarm.
Busy Verification of Telephones and
Trunks
Attendants can busy verify telephones at a remote location by clicking the Busy
Verify feature button, then entering the desired UDP extension number. The
verification process continues as it would if the telephone being verified were on
the local switch.
Attendants can also busy verify a trunk at a remote location using two different
methods. In the first method, the attendant clicks the Busy Verify button,
accesses the DCS tie trunk to the remote switch by dialing the trunk access code
or by clicking on the Trunk Group button, then clicks the Busy Verify button
again, and proceeds as if the trunk were on the local switch.
The second method requires that a Trunk Group button be administered for the
remote trunk group. With this method, the attendant clicks the Busy Verify
button and the Trunk Group button for the remote trunk group, followed by the
desired member number.
