Routing
Description
The Routing capability allows the client to request routing instructions based on 
the incoming call resources used by the call (such as originating address or 
destination address).
The client invokes this capability by issuing a C_RT_REQ to which the server 
responds with a C_RT_SEL capability that provides the route to use. The route 
can be a local or remote endpoint directory number (such as an ACD agent) to 
which the call should be...

Route Select
Description
The Route Select capability allows the server to respond to a client’s Route 
Request. The parameters provide the client with all the information it needs to 
route the call over the route chosen.
The server uses the information obtained in a C_RT_REQ to determine a route for 
the call. Once a route is selected, the server responds to the client with a 
C_RT_SEL capability. The client then responds with a C_RT_END capability which...

Route End
Description 
The Route End capability allows the client to inform the server that it wants to 
terminate the routing association. The routed call, under the control of the client, is 
not affected by this termination. The reason for the termination is contained in the 
Cause parameter. This is an unacknowledged capability, and as soon as a Route 
End is issued or received, the routing association terminates.
The client invokes this capability by issuing...

Heartbeat request.

Heartbeat
Description
The Heartbeat capability allows the client to query the server for the status of the 
ASAI link. Heartbeat is a two-way capability; either the ECS or host computer can 
be the client and can send a heartbeat request.
A positive response from the server means that the link is operating, that 
messages are received and parsed and that incoming ASAI messages will be 
delivered to the appropriate ASAI server. A positive response further...
