Considerations for the Call Vectoring Features
C-6 Issue 4 September 1995
taken by the adjunct is to drop one party on the call, the switch will drop
the other party as well and clear the call (it cannot retain a call with only
one party, if there is no Return Destination for further processing).*
User Scenario — Remote Access with Host
Provided Security
A customer may use the VDN Return Destination feature to provide a more
flexible remote access feature together with host based call security. The remote
user/caller does not have to call back into the switch when multiple destinations
need to be reached nor does the caller have to enter his/her identification every
time a new destination is desired. For example, a customer can program the
following vector that is accessed by dialing a VDN that has a Return Destination
administered.
Figure C-1. Sample Return Destination Vector with Remote
Access
In this scenario, a remote caller will call into the switch by dialing the VDN
administered with the Return Destination. The vector executed will prompt the
caller to enter an identification number and a password that will be passed, via
the adjunct routing vector command, to the host for validation. The host can keep
track of invalid attempts or decide to de-activate or activate certain identification
numbers based on customer set criteria.
After the host based security is passed (the host sends an Abort to cancel the
switch Route request; otherwise, the host routes the call to an exception
destination/VDN), the switch will collect digits for the destination that the caller
wants to reach (vector step 4 above). The host receives the number entered by
the caller (vector step 5 above) and validates the entered number to check if the
caller is allowed to reach the specified destination. If so, the host routes the call
to the desired (dialed) destination.
