The ASAI-provided digits feature allows an adjunct to include digits in a Route Select capability. The digits are treated as dial-ahead digits for the call. Dial-ahead digits are stored in a dial-ahead digit buffer and can be collected one at a time or in groups using the collect digits command. Although the adjunct can send more than 24 digits in a Route Select, only the first 24 digits (or 24-x, wherex is the number of digits collected by vector processing prior to executing the adjunct routing link vector command) are retained as dial-ahead digits. An application can use this capability to specify the digits that Communication Manager must pass to the VRU as part of the converse-on vector step.
Note:
The maximum number of dial-ahead digits that can be stored in the buffer is dependent on the number of digits that were already collected for the call by a previous collect digits vector command. If x digits were collected by vector processing prior to executing an adjunct routing link vector command, the x digits collected reduces the maximum number of digits that can be stored as dial-ahead digits as a result of a Route Select. The rest are discarded.
