Detailed description of features
AAR/ARS
MMCX can take advantage of advanced routing features for voice-only calls to
the PSTN or a DEFINTY system private network. Users must enter the AAR/ARS
access code before the rest of the dialed digits. MASI will route the call over the
DEFINITY private network (AAR) or the public network (ARS), based on the
digits supplied by the MMCX user.
Routing patterns must contain only trunk groups that actually terminate on the
DEFINITY ECS. Calls from one MMCX to another do not use AAR/ARS.
Authorization codes are not supported.
Call Detail Recording
Using the MASI link, DEFINITY is able to track call detail information for calls
made using MMCX terminals and interfaces. CDR records all calls originating
from or terminating at a MASI terminal. MASI CDR does not record ineffective
call attempts when all MASI paths are busy.
The Resource Flag value of 8 indicates a MASI call. This field appears in
unformatted, int-isdn, expanded and customized CDR formats. For formats other
than these, you can determine that a call involves a MASI terminal or trunk by the
TAC, dialed number or calling number fields.
