Discarding dial-ahead digits

[nickhenderson]

Hi,

Does anyone know a way of discarding dial-ahead digits in a vector?

Currently I have a vector that routes to other vectors depending on digits dialed by the caller. At the first vector the caller presses 2 and then goes to a second vector for the next related options. The vectors are below.

It seems callers are pressing 2 several times which gets stored in the dial-ahead digits. So at the second vector the 'collect digits' command collects the dial ahead digits and the caller never hears the announcements and gets put straight through to option 2 of the second vector.

The ideal would be to clear the dial ahead digits at the beginning of the second vector or possibly to disable dial ahead digits completely. I've looked through the vectoring documentation but can't seem to work it out.

Many thanks!

Nick


Vector 1
01 wait-time 2 secs hearing ringback
02 collect 1 digits after announcement 1101 for none
03 goto vector 11 @step 1 if digits = 1
04 goto vector 12 @step 1 if digits = 2
05 stop

Vector 11
01 wait-time 2 secs hearing ringback
02 collect 1 digits after announcement 1111 for none
03 goto step 07 if digits = 1
04 goto step 08 if digits = 2
05 goto step 09 if digits = 3
06 stop
07 route-to number 1000 with cov y if unconditionally
08 route-to number 1050 with cov y if unconditionally
09 route-to number 1055 with cov y if unconditionally
10 stop

Try This...

Not sure if you ever got a response for this, however you just need to do

set digits = none add none

after you've dealt with the entered digits

01 Collect 1 digits after announcement 1234
02 goto step 13 if digits = 1
03 goto step 23 if digits = 2
04 goto step 33 if digits = 3
05 goto step 43 if digits = 4
06 set digits = none add none
07 collect 1 digits after announcement 1235
08 goto step 13 if digits = 1
.
.
13 set digits = none add none
14 route to 1001 with coverage y if unconditionally
15 busy
16 stop
