Effects of ASAI link/application failure on vector processing

Last Updated : Sep 08, 2012 |

An ASAI link failure can change the manner in which subsequent announcement or wait-time treatment steps are processed.

In the following simplified vector example, the step that follows immediately after an adjunct routing link command is a wait-time command. If the adjunct routing link step fails at either the ASAI link or adjunct application, the wait-time step is skipped.

The second step after the adjunct routing link step is often implemented as a default treatment. In the example shown above, the default treatment in step 3 is a route to an attendant. If the switch recognizes that the ASAI link or adjunct application is out of service, this step executes immediately. Otherwise, the step executes only if the application does not respond with a route within 60 seconds (the wait-time assigned in the example).

Simplified example of vector processing in an ASAI link/application failure condition


1. adjunct routing link 11  [link/application is down]
2. wait-time 60 seconds hearing ringback  [step is skipped]
3. route-to number 0 with cov n if unconditionally [step is executed]
4. disconnect after announcement 2000
