Interactions
Call Coverage
Third-Party Call Setup calls to the source terminal will not be directed to a coverage
station. If the source terminal is not answered before coverage is invoked, the call is
dropped and the NO ANSWER/DISCONNECTED messages are displayed at the
third-party data terminal.
Call Following
If calls to a source terminal have been forwarded to another terminal (via Call
Following), Third-Party Call Setup calls will be forwarded. Note, however, that the
maximum of three ringing cycles (combined cycles at the home and away terminals)
still applies before the system drops the call and displays the NO
ANSWER\DISCONNECTED messages at the third-party data terminal.
Expert Mode
Refer to the Expert Mode feature description for additional methods in dialing when
using the Third-Party Call Setup feature.
Station Message Detailed Recording (SMDR)
SMDR records will be generated for Third-Party Call Setup calls just as if they were
placed by the source terminal.
Administration Requirements
Data Port
The user’s data terminal may be administered to have a particular source terminal
associated with it. This allows the abbreviated form of dialing when activating the
Third-Party Call Setup feature.
A source terminal may be associated via administration with several third-party data
terminals. A third-party data terminal, however, may be associated with only one
source terminal (voice or data).
In addition, the third-party data terminal can be administered so that calls may be
established for:
Any voice or data source terminal
One associated source terminal only
No source terminals (feature disabled; default).
AT&T STARLAN NETWORK Access
Ports administered on the STARLAN INTERFACE circuit pack may not have a
particular source terminal associated with them. Depending on the administration
parameters enabled, third-party data terminals on the STARLAN INTERFACE
circuit pack may establish calls for:
Any voice or data source terminal
No source terminals (feature disabled; default).
Hardware Requirements
None
