This section provides information about how the Administered Connections feature interacts with other features on the system. Use this information to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits of the Administered Connections feature in any feature configuration.
Use Abbreviated Dialing entries in the Destination field on the Administered Connections screen. Entries must comply with restrictions.
Busy Verification of stations and trunks
This feature does not apply to access endpoints because access endpoints are used only for data.
Call Detail Recording (CDR)
For an AC that uses a trunk when CDR is active, the origination extension is the originator of the call. CDR is unavailable for access endpoints.
Class of Restriction (COR)
Reserve a COR for AC endpoints and SDDN trunks to restrict endpoints that are not involved in AC from connecting to SDDN trunks or endpoints that are involved in AC.
Class of Service (COS) and Call Forwarding
Assign a COS that blocks Call Forwarding activation at the AC endpoint.
Data Call Setup
Do not assign a default dialing destination to a data module when the data module is used in an AC.
Data Hotline
Do not assign a hotline destination to a data module when the data module is used in an AC.
Digital Multiplexed Interface (DMI)
Use DMI endpoints as the destination in an AC. DMI endpoints do not have associated extensions, so do not use DMI endpoints as the originator in an AC.
Facility Test Calls
The feature does not apply to access endpoints, because an access endpoint acts as an endpoint, rather than as a trunk.
Hunting
Do not use a hunt group extension as the originating endpoint of an AC.
Modem Pooling
If you require a modem in an AC, a modem is inserted automatically. If no modem is available, the connection is dropped.
Non-Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) and D-Channel Backup
Auto restoration for an AC that is initially routed over an NFAS facility might fail if the only backup route is over the facility on which the backup D-channel is administered. The backup D-channel might not come into service in time to handle the restoration attempt.
Set Time Command
When you use the set time command to change the system time, all scheduled ACs are examined. If the time change causes an active AC to be outside its scheduled period, the AC is dropped. If the time change causes an inactive AC to be within its scheduled period, the server attempts to establish the AC.
If any AC, scheduled or continuous, is in retry mode and the system time changes, the server attempts to establish the AC.
System Measurements
Access endpoints are not measured. All other trunks in an AC are measured as usual.
Terminal Dialing
Turn off terminal dialing for data modules that are used in an AC to prevent display of call-processing messages, such as INCOMING CALL, on the terminal.
Trunk Groups
To invoke autorestoration, route an AC over SDDN trunks. Because a successful restoration depends on an SDDN path, keep some SDDN trunks idle.
