Problem routing to an external # via vector step

[ssmokinjoe]

Hello,
I am trying to route a call to an external number when a digit pressed but the call gets dropped instead. I ran a trace on the vector and then displayed the even log. I will post both below in hopes that someone can hopefully tell me that I did something wrong. I have also made sure that the "Disconnect Supervision" is set to "y" on the in and out. We are Avaya on CM 6.3 Thank you for your help.

Sorry for the late reply to your very well documented issue. I had some unavoidable work load and home issues...


Summary: You want to route calls to an external number once certain conditions are met. Before we start, here are two suggestions I would offer:

• Start documenting (please see below) your code with the # option.
• Use a more modular way to accomplish your goal.

I take a different approach to all “route to” steps. Since the route-to command stops vector processing, I place those steps at the end of my vectors. And I use the “goto step” commands, which do not stop vector processing, throughout the rest of my vectors.


Here is the way I set something like this up:

1. Set up an entry in the coverage remote table “ch cov rem 1” for the external number.
2. Set up a coverage path “add cov path next” that points to the new entry in the coverage remote table.
3. Set up a virtual station pointing to the coverage path.
4. Write the station number into the vector as below.

15 # "Your Call maybe monitored.........."
16 announcement 691000
17 # Route to Q VDN
18 route-to number 4831 with cov y if unconditionally
19 stop
20 # Routes out to Beacon/Boston, 800-xxx-xxxx
21 route-to number 6680 with cov y if unconditionally
22 stop

Hi Both,

I have this working exactly as you describe , in fact i have it set so that if CM receives a valid busy signal from the route to number it will continue vector processing , this logic only happens if your route to number has coverage set to N.

However you seem to have something else going on here can you dial this number from a local CM station??

[richa164]

Also list trace the station that you are dialling the vdn from this will give you more info , this is probably something like COR on the VDN restricting access.

"However you seem to have something else going on here can you dial this number from a local CM station??"

This is precicely why I do it this way Richa. You can dial the extension internally. Moreover, if you are on a call you want to forward to this external number, it is quite easy to do so. Did that answer you question?

[richa164]

i was referring to Joe not yourself Bill with the list trace , apologies for any confusion.

[marzahn]

However, perhaps my last answer will show the benefits of this method.

Hello Bill,
Thank you for the reply, I hope that the home issue have gotten better.

I am in the process of putting your suggestion in place; I am able to dial the toll-free number from an CM phone. I will put it in place and test it. I will keep you both posted as to my results.

Although I have been doing this job for a while I still have so much to learn.

Bill, How do I set the description for the commented out line the way you did in the above example? I know that I can comment out a line once a valid command has been entered but not able too otherwise.

Thank you,

Joe

I understand that you want to add just a comment lines to an existing vector. If that is not right, please let me know.

Since you are up to CM 6.3 Joe, using GEDI, you can comment a line or even a group of lines by entering a hash/pound (#) and pressing enter. Also since CM 5.x you get up to 99 steps and step management that was heretofore only available in the emulation editor. I can tell you that MADE MY DAY!

Let's say you want to add a new comment step in VEC 22 between 14 and 15. Here's how:

1. Press the <F6> key. this pops up the "Edit Vector" dialog.
2. Instead of clicking on the "Comment Line," click on the "Insert before."
3. Place a number in the "box" to the immediate right just like you do the the "Comment Line" selection and press enter.

Now then . . .How cool is that?

But did a answer your question?
