Attendant Recall

Description:

Attendant Recall automatically alerts the attendant when a trunk call has been extended to an idle station (including Hunt, Ring, and Pickup groups) and not answered within a specified time-out period, or when a call on Hold at the console has not been answered within a selected time.

By default, unanswered stations stop ringing when the no-answer recall occurs—that is, when the No Answer Recall Timer in the COS Class of Service assigned to the incoming trunk expires. Alternatively, the system can be programmed to continue ringing the station until the attendant answers the recall or the station is answered.

In an attendant group where the DN of each attendant console appears as a softkey on the other consoles, recalls are presented to all attendants. By enabling "Recall If Transferred to Original Call Destination" in the attendant Class of Service, recalls are presented only to the attendant who originally handled the call. This behaviour applies to DID calls to extensions that are rerouted to attendants (or sets) using Call Rerouting.

Conditions

Attendant Recall does not apply when the console is in night service mode unless that console is the night answer point and the console attendant is set to Operator Present.

Programming

A)  Cluster Programming

Normal cluster programming rules must be followed. In particular:

B)  Network Programming

The ARS to access a network switch must either use the Primary Node ID (PNI) digits or the Remote Node Leading Digits field must be programmed for the PNI in the ARS Node Identities form and those digits used as the ARS to route the call.  Other ARS routing schemes are not supported by this feature.

If the remote switch is another vendor's switch, it must prepend the DN in OLI fields with the same routing digits that our switch uses to reach it.  For example, if the DN on the remote switch is 1234 and our switch routes the call to the network switch as 9991234 then the other vendor's switch must provide 9991234 as the OLI in incoming ISRM/SSRM DPNSS mess ages.
