Description

Number of Reserved B Channels for Outgoing Calls

The number of B channels that are used exclusively for outgoing calls.

Values: Any positive integer between one and half the number of B-channels on the system

When is B Channel Transfer Invoked?

The condition under which TBCT will be used (when the system is either alerted about an incoming call, or when it answers an incoming call).

Values: on alerting, on answer

Error Handling Method if Transfer Fails

The action the system takes if a transfer fails.

Values: bridge, disconnect

Staying bridged involves maintaining a voice connection between the incoming and outgoing calls and waiting for one of the parties to disconnect. Disconnecting the outgoing call returns an error to the application and logs a system alarm event. Note that staying bridged uses more of the call system's capacity.

Channel Hunt Method

The order that the system uses to hunt for available channels when placing an outgoing call.

Values: ascending order, descending order

To minimize collisions between incoming and outgoing calls, Avaya recommends that the system hunt for outgoing channels in the opposite direction from the direction the switch is using for incoming calls.

Maximum Number of Rings for Outgoing Calls

The number of rings to allow after placing an outgoing call.

Values: 1-20
