Description
This command is useful within script files (see the run command on
page 124) to wait for a specific event before executing the next
statement. This command causes the API shell to wait until a call
being placed either connects or fails. This command can be used to
synchronize a remote controller with the system. The API shell
echoes the message "call complete" when the call connects or is
aborted.
callcomplete Causes the API shell to wait until a call being
placed either connects or fails.
systemready Causes the system to return the message "system
is ready" when the system is ready to make a call.
receivingcall Causes the API shell to wait until an incoming ring
is detected and returns the message "waitfor
receiving call."
