Adjunct Routing
9-6 Issue 4 September 1995
Accordingly, you should almost always include either a
wait-time
step or an
announcement
step immediately after an
adjunct routing
step. Moreover, the
switch cancels the route request if vector processing encounters a step
containing one of the following commands:
adjunct routing (G3V2 and earlier releases.) G3V3 and later releases allow
multiple outstanding adjunct route requests.
busy
check-backup split
converse-on split
queue-to main split
collect digits
disconnect
messaging split
route-to
NOTE:
Actually, if another
adjunct routing
step is encountered, the route request
information is not lost. Although the initial route request is cancelled, a
second route request is sent, and this route request includes the same
information included in the first route request.
If a valid call route is received by the switch before one of the vector commands
in the previous list is executed, the switch routes the call to the destination
specified by the adjunct route. Otherwise, the route request is terminated without
affecting vector processing.
Let’s return to our suggested strategy of including a treatment step after the
adjunct routing
step. Accordingly, here’s an example presented earlier that
illustrates this approach:
Figure 9-3. Treatment Step Used as a Delay for Adjunct Routing
In Step 2 of this example, the
wait-time
command specifies a delay period of 60
seconds. As a result, the switch in this case will wait up to 60 seconds to receive
a reply from the adjunct. On the other hand, replacing the
wait-time
command in
Step 2 with an
announcement
command enables the switch to wait for no longer
than the length of time it takes for the announcement to complete. Accordingly,
