Stop versus courtesy stop
The following two methods of taking a component out of service allow
you to choose how active calls are affected.
Courtesy stop
A courtesy stop takes the component out of service after the component
finishes processing the active calls.
If the component is currently processing a call, the call is not
dropped; the component remains active until the call is finished.
If the component is not currently in use, it is taken out of service
immediately.
Courtesy stop is the preferred method for taking a component out of
service.
Stop
A stop takes the component out of service immediately, regardless of
whether the component is currently processing calls. All active calls are
dropped. Typically, you perform a stop only when severe problems that
are affecting a large number of incoming calls occur or if your
organization determines a special need for it.
Components that you can start and stop
Only the following components can start and stop.
Note: If you want to start or stop more than one or two multimedia
(DSP) or call (DS30X) channels, use the Multimedia Monitor or
Channel Monitor.
