New Features and Enhancements
Release 6.1 Enhancements (August 1998)
Consequently, there can be any number of coverage points across the private
network, and personnel across a private network can be shared for coverage.
Transfer Redirect
Calls transferred by an Automated Attendant to a non-local extension can now be
redirected to a local extension programmed to receive the redirected calls. "Local"
means that the extension is on the same system as the Automated Attendant.
When a call is transferred by the Automated Attendant to a non-local extension
and is not answered within the transfer redirect timeout period, the call stops
ringing and is forwarded to the local redirect extension. This redirect extension
can be a QCC queue, a calling group, or an individual extension.
Direct Station Selector
Now users can press a Direct Station Selector (DSS) button for an extension on
another system in the private network, provided that the DSS has access to the
Uniform Dial Plan (UDP).
Call Forwarding
Calls now can be forwarded to extensions across the private network.
SMDR
Administrators now can program local system SMDRs to log incoming and
outgoing calls that travel across private network trunks. Users can select all calls
to be logged or no calls to be logged.
Prepending of Zeros
Some businesses set up their communications systems to send only a four-digit
number for Caller ID information. Prior to Release 6.0, the MERLIN LEGEND
system identified all four-digit calls as inside calls. In Release 6.0, calls less than
five digits long were identified as private network calls. Now, in Release 6.1 and
later systems, zeros are prepended to four-digit calling party number calls that
come from the PSTN. This allows an application such as PassageWay Telephony
Services to determine that the call is an outside call by using the length of the
Caller ID information.
Decrease in Call Set-Up Time
The set-up time for a call across a private network has been reduced by
programming the number of UDP digits expected. This allows a centralized
Automated Attendant to route calls across the private network.
