Blocks
Blocks are the components used to build your individual customer application. All call flow is programmed using
these blocks. Each block type has a specific function, and can be chained together with other blocks to provide a
complete call processing solution.
There are 13 blocks available in the SVMi-8. They are the following:
Announcement Block Houses up to 15 minutes of recorded voice information for playback in an
audiotext application. It is associated with and managed by an Audiotext
Librarian.
Audiotext Librarian Block Manages the Announcement Blocks, that together forms its Audiotext Library.
On-demand, it finds and plays the caller specified Announcement(s). Manages
Announcement Block retention, recording length and authorizations, and caller
replay options. It also controls the caller's path through its library.
Bye Block Speaks a prompt, usually "Good-bye", then terminates the call session.
Directory Block This is a utility that sets up the necessary parameters used in the subscriber’s
directory list.
EClass Block This is a class of service block for extensions, and contains additional permis-
sions that apply to all extensions in this class.
Extension Block Represents the subscriber to a caller. Houses subscriber's settings, personal
greetings, and call coverage controls such as call blocking and screening.

sions that apply to all Mailboxes in this class.
