Interactions for Data Call Setup

Last Updated : Jun 07, 2016 |

This section provides information about how the Data Call Setup feature interacts with other features on the system. Use this information to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits of Data Call Setup in any feature configuration.

Abbreviated Dialing

You can use only 22 of the 24 digits in an abbreviated-dialing number when you dial at a keyboard. The remaining two digits must contain the wait indicator for tone detection.

Alphanumerical Dialing

When a data-terminal user uses the Alphanumeric Dialing feature to place a call, the user enters an alphanumeric name.

Call Coverage

You cannot assign a coverage path to a hunt group that consists of data endpoints.

Call Detail Recording (CDR)

CDR records the use of modem pools on trunk calls.

Call Forwarding All Calls

The system uses the Call Forwarding All Calls capability to redirect data calls to a user-designated extension. The attendant or a forwarding party dials a Feature Access Code (FAC) to activate the Call Forwarding All Calls capability.

A user can use data-terminal dialing to activate Call Forwarding All Calls for calls to a data module. If the forwarded-to endpoint is an analog endpoint, and the caller is a digital endpoint, the system activates modem pooling automatically.

Data Hotline

Data Hotline is a security feature. The server terminates calls to a preadministered hotline. The system discards any address string and routes the call as if the users entered the hotline-destination address. This Data Hotline feature does not affect incoming calls. You cannot use the Data Hotline feature and the Default Dialing feature at the same time.

Default Dialing

If the Default Dialing feature is active, a data-terminal user can Press Enter to call a preadministered destination. The data-terminal user enters a complete address to call other destinations.

Digit Dialing

The system provides basic digit dialing through an asynchronous data module (ADM) or a 7500B data module. The user can enter digits from 0 to 9, an asterisk (*), and a pound sign (#) from a 7500 series telephone keypad or from an Electronics Industries Association (EIA)terminal interface.

Internal Automatic Answer

Data calls are ineligible for Internal Automatic Answer.

Modem Pooling

Modem Pooling is available on data calls. The system automatically inserts a modem if the data call needs a modem. You can use the Data Call Preindication option or the Data Origination option to indicate the need for a modem.

Uniform Call Distribution (UCD)

UCD provides a group of data modules, or analog modems, for answering calls to a connected facility. A computer port is an example of a connected facility.

World-Class Tone Detection

The system supports multiline data-terminal dialing, if you set the tone-detection options field on the Feature-Related System-Parameters screen to precise.

The message that Data Call Setup sends to users depends on the tone-detection option that you administer.
