    							Service Observing
    Issue  3   March 1996
    3-1105
    observe another node via remote Service Observing. Service observing 
    displays are not sup p orte d across DCS. A remote o bserver on another 
    DCS node will hear the same feedback as any other remote service 
    observer.
    nHold
    The observer cannot use this feature when Service Observing is activate d. 
    If the hold button is pressed, the action is ignored.
    If an a gent p laces a c all on hold while being observed, the observer is p ut 
    into the waiting mo de. A VDN observer will continue to monitor the caller 
    placed on hold.
    nLook Ahead Interflow
    If an observed VDN call routes to another location as a result of Look 
    Ahead Interflow, the call will continue to be observed. Warning tone, if 
    optioned for the sending switch, will be a p plied when the call is accepted 
    by the receiving switch. The periodic tone will continue to b e a p plied while 
    the call is monitored by the VDN observer.
    nLW C  
    Leave Word Calling cannot be used by any party on a call that is being 
    service observed.
    nMove Agent/Change Skills While Staffe d
    If move or change skills is requested for a physical or logical agent being 
    service observed, the move or change will take place according to the 
    move or change rules. O bserving will continue.
    nMultiple Call Handling
    When observing an agent extension or logical ID, only the call that the 
    agent is active on will be monitored. If all calls are put on hold, the 
    observer will hear silence. When o bserving a VDN call, the monitoring 
    connection stays with the call when the call is put on hold.
    nMusic on Delay/Music-on-Hold
    A VDN  observer  hears  the  music provided to the caller
    nNight Service
    A VDN  observer  monitoring connection will go with the call.
    nNo Disconnect Supervision Trunk Operation
    Service observing cannot be activated over no disconnect supervision 
    trunks. Denial indication is given to the caller.
    nPrivacy — Manual Exc lusion
    A observer cannot service observe an agent that has activate d Privacy — 
    Manual Exclusion. 
    						
    							Feature Descriptions
    3-1106Issue  3   March 1996 
    nRecorded Announcement
    An observed VDN call will continue to be monitored while the call is 
    connected to a recorded announcement. A Verify Announcement call 
    placed by an observed physical or logical agent will b e monitored by the 
    observer.
    nRedirection on No Answer (RONA)
    An observed VDN call will continue to be monitored when the call is 
    redirected or rings “in limbo” due to the RONA feature.
    nRoute-to Number/Digits with Coverage
    A route-to numb er or route-to digits step to a Service Observing FAC  or 
    Service Observing FAC  + extension fails when Service Observing 
    activation is not allowed or when the extension cannot b e observed. In this 
    case, the destination is considered invalid and vector processing goes to 
    the next step regardless of whether coverage is set to y or n.
    nTransfer
    The observer cannot use this feature when Service Observing is activated.
    If an agent transfers a call while being observed, the o bserver is put into 
    the waiting  mode.  The observer is bridged onto any call that the agent 
    becomes active on before the transfer is complete.
    A VDN  observer  monitoring connection will go with the call. A VDN call 
    transferred to a nonobservable destination becomes ineligible for 
    observing.
    nVDN in a Coverage Path
    A call that covers to a VDN being service observed can be monitored by 
    the VDN  observer.  An  observed VDN call that covers to another VDN will 
    continue to be monitored.
    nVDN of Origin Announcements
    Service observers will hear the VDN of origin announcement given to the 
    answering station user and the caller.
    nVDN Return Destination
    When Service Observing is activated through a prompting VDN that has 
    return destination assigned, the activation call could return back to the 
    prompting VDN to allow retry of the Service Observing a ctivation if the first 
    attempt fails and the denial indication times out. This is true only when the 
    disconnect due to denial indication o c curs after the call leaves vector 
    processing. Failure detected while in vector processing will execute the 
    next vector step. Disconnect due to the disconnect or busy commands 
    will drop the call and not trigger return destination.
    When return destination is triggered, the call is monitored through each 
    return destination operation until the caller disconnects.

    nVoice Terminal Display
    If an internal (not remote) observer has a display voice terminal, the 
    display will mirror exactly what is being displayed on the observed 
    physical or logical agent’s voice terminal display. For example, 
    a=3035001234 to Sales    SO
    When the observer is observing a VDN, the display will show the name of 
    the VDN  being  observed while in vector processing. After the call leaves 
    vector processing, the display will show the name of the agent or trunk 
    group the call connected to.
    nVuS ta t s
    An internal service o bserver using a 2-line display can activate VuStats for 
    the agent to be observed. The stats for that agent appear on the second 
    line of the observer’s disp lay during Service Observing. The VuStats 
    monitoring must be activated before activating Service Observing.
    nZip Tone
    VDN service observers will not hear the zip tone given to the answering 
    agent.
    Administration
    Service Observing is administered by the System Manager. See DEFI NI TY 
    Communications System Generic 3 Version 4 Implementation
    , 555-230-655, or 
    DEFI NI TY Com munications System Generic 3 V2/V3 Implementation,

    Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed 
    Station Numbering
    Feature Availability
    This feature is available with all Generic 3 releases.
    Description
    Allows easy a c cess to internal hotel/motel services and p rovides the capability to 
    associate room numbers with guest room voice terminals.
    The following dial plan types are provided:
    nSingle-Digit Dialing
    nPrefixed Extensions
    nMixed Numbering
    Single-Digit Dialing
    A single-digit extension number can be assigned to internal hotel/motel services 
    such as room service.  These single-digit extension numb ers can be assigned to 
    an individual voice terminal or to a g roup of voice terminals used, for example, to 
    service the front desk.
    Prefixed Extensions
    A p refixed extension is made up of a p refix (or first digit) and an extension 
    number with up to five digits.  The prefix identifies the call type. The switch 
    collects the dialed d i gits, removes the prefix digit, and uses the extension 
    number for any further processing.
    Assume that the dial p lan listed in the following table is administered for a 
    hotel/motel system. 
    						
    							Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed Station Numbering
    Issue  3   March 1996
    3-1109
    This example dial plan allows the following call types:
    nSingle-digit access to the hotel/motel attendant (0)
    nTen TACs beginning with the digit 1 (10 through 19)
    nSingle-digit access to three hotel/motel services using the digits 2, 3,
    and 4
    nNonprefixed access to as many as 100 hotel/motel staff extensions
    (500 through 599)
    nRoom extensions for as many as 100 floors
    — Access to floors 1 through 9
    (prefix digit 6 + [100 through 999])
    — Access to floors 10 through 99
    (prefix digit 7 + [1000 through 9999])
    nToll calling access by dialing TAC 8
    nToll calling access by dialing TAC 9
    nTwo-digit feature access codes (FACs) beginning with * and # and 
    followed by a second digit

    							Feature Descriptions
    3-1110Issue  3   March 1996 
    The system identifies a Prefixed Extension number through translation 
    processing.  Without the prefix digit, the same group of digits could belong to 
    any call type.  In the preceding dial plan example, the digits 71234 are identified 
    as extension 1234 preceded by the prefix 7.  If 1234 is dialed, the system 
    interprets it as the two-digit trunk access code 12 because a four-digit extension 
    number beginning with a 1 is not d efined.
    Mixed Numbering
    A d ial plan with mixed numbering has the following characteristics:
    nExtension numbers can have from one to five digits and can begin with 
    any digit from 0 to 9.
    nThe first di git, in combination with the number of digits dialed, defines the 
    call type that corresponds to the dialed numbers.
    The flexibility of mixed numbers, administrative staff extension numbers, service 
    extension numbers (Single-Digit Dialing), TACs, and FACs may have common 
    leading d igits.  To differentiate between two numbers with the same leading digit 
    but with different lengths, the system applies a 3- to 9-second interdigit time-out 
    administered on the “System Features” form (Short Interdigit Timer).
    Assume that the dial plan listed in Table 3-81 is administered. 
    						
    							Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed Station Numbering
    Issue  3   March 1996
    3-1111
    This dial plan example allows the following dial access:
    nSingle-digit access to the hotel/motel attendant (0)
    nSingle-digit access to seven hotel services (extensions 1 through 7)
    nTwo-digit access to 70 hotel/motel services (extensions 10 through 70)
    nGuest room extensions for floors 1 through 7 (extensions 100 
    through 799)
    nToll calling access by dialing TAC 8
    nToll calling access by dialing TAC 9
    nTwo-digit FACs by dialing * or # plus another digit
    Using the preceding dial p lan exam ple, the d i git 2 can be assigned as the 
    extension number for a hotel/motel service, 22 as an extension number for an 
    administration staff member, and 222 as the extension number for guest room 
    1. Time-outs are applied after the first, second, and third digits.

    222. Interdigit time-outs are used by the DEFINITY switch after the first and 
    second digits.
    Time-out intervals can be canceled if the user dials # after d ialing all required 
    d i gits.
    Considerations
    Single-Digit Dialing allows easy access to hotel/motel services.
    Mixed Station Numbering allows g uest room numbers and room extensions to b e 
    the same.  Dialing time is a little longer, however, b e cause of the required 
    interdigit time-out interval.
    Prefixed extensions greater than five digits in length (including the prefix) cannot 
    be assigned to intercom lists.
    A trunk access code and an extension number can only share a first d i git if the 
    extension number is shorter than the trunk access code.
    Although extensions with the same first digit can have different lengths, data 
    channel extensions should have the maximum number of d igits possible in ord er 
    to avoid timeout problems for data calls that the DEFI NI TY switch automatically 
    sets up (for example, the CDR link).
    Extension numbers and feature access codes can share the same first digit with 
    the extension numb er b eing longer (as long as they are not used for AAR/ARS 
    faxs), b ut these extension numbers only work within the switch. They do not work 
    as remote UDP extensions.
    Interactions
    The following features interact with the Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed Station 
    Numbering feature.
    nAttendant Display and Voice Terminal Display
    If prefixed extensions are used in the system’s dial p lan, the prefix is not 
    displayed when the extension is displayed. The Return Call button can be 
    used to dial prefixed extensions, because the system dials the prefix,  
    even though it is not displayed.
    nProperty Management
    If Prefixed  Extensions are assigned in the system, the prefix digit is 
    removed before messages containing the extension number are sent to 
    the PMS.
    Five-digit extensions cannot be exchanged with a PMS until modifications 
    are ma de to the PMS interface. 
    						
    							Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed Station Numbering
    Issue  3   March 1996
    3-1113
    nUDP 
    The following limitations apply to a DCS environment:
    — Extension numbers that differ in length from the UDP cannot be 
    distributed to other switches.
    — If the first two digits of an extension number correspond to the floor 
    number, floors cannot be serviced by more than one switch.
    Administration
    The System Manager defines the dial type (extensions, p refixed extensions, trunk 
    access codes, and feature access codes) when the dial plan is administered for 
    the system. The timeout affecting this feature (short interdigit timer) is 
    administrable for G3rV1, G3i-Global, G3V2, and later releases on the “ System 
    Parameters — Features”  form.
    For each first digit (1 through 9, *, and #), a dial type can be defined for each 
    length up to six digits.
    Hardware and Software Requirements

    Description
    Allows an attendant to complete an outgoing trunk call for a voice terminal user, 
    without requiring the voice terminal user to hang up.
    Considerations
    With Straightforward  Outward Completion the attendant determines which calls 
    should be allowed and can select the trunk group used for the call.
