Operation Description
Station alerting When a c all is offered to a station, an inter-PN c onnec tion is 
initiated  and  the p hone ring s. This p roc ed ure ap plies to 
c alls to stations, d ata mod ules, and  attend ant c onsoles. 
When the user answers, the station should b e c onnec ted  
b efore the user says “ hello.”
Trunk seizure Trunk seizure hap p ens after an outgoing c all is submitted  
to an outg oing  trunk p ort, followed  b y ad d ress outp ulsing . 
Seizure and  ad d ress outp ulsing  do not req uire an 
estab lished  talk p ath to the trunk. If the talk p ath to or from 
the trunk is d elayed  for several second s and  the call was 
d ialed  instantly throug h ab breviated  d ialing , some initial 
call progress feedback might be missed and, perhaps, 
some information from the answering  p arty.
Connec tion setup  times of as muc h as 1-2 s c an b e 
c overed b y seizure/outp ulsing , but long er setup  times 
req uire p ostp oning  seizure until the inter-PN c onnec tion is 
established.
Rec ord ed  announc ements When an announc ement is c onnec ted, it req uests p laybac k 
as soon as p ossib le. The switc h d elays p laying  b ac k an 
announc ement until at least one inter-p ort-network 
c onnec tion, if need ed , is estab lished .
The b arg e-in announc ements, whic h the c aller joins in 
progress, do not require this delay.

Time of Day considerations
Ta b l e  B - 3 shows the time-of-d ay imp ac ts on users and  ad ministrators. In the 
Group  c olumn:
nUser-visib le means that times are visib le and /or manip ulated  b y the users.
nSystem manag ement means that times are visib le to, used  b y, and  set b y 
the system ad ministrator or other switc h manag ement.
Table B-3. Time of day impacts 
Use Group Impact
User date and time User-visible The d ate and time d isp layed  b y the system should  
ind icate the user’s loc al time.
Automatic  wakeup
Announc ements
Do-Not-DisturbUser-visible The user is ab le to spec ify and rec eive a wakeup

Call Detail Rec ord ing System 
manag ementTimes rec ord ed  may have to be matched ag ainst 
times reported by public network service providers 
(whic h may be d ep end ent on the loc ations of trunk

nAutomatic  chang es are set in software to

nManual c hang es are still p ossib le 
Time-of-Day routing System 
manag ementTimes are d erived from time-of-d ay c onsid erations 
b ased on the location(s) of various outg oing  
trunks. For example, a time-of-d ay routing  c hang e 
may take p lac e at 5:00 PM EST b ec ause c alls
