FreePhoneTable: > Before IN Logic + Data ISUP:IAM ISUP:IAM TEX LEX LEX Subscriber: Problems related to: Modifying service data Modifying service logic High cost of service introduction In order to provide value added services to the basic telephone service, the following conditions must be respected : All the telephone network users can get the benefit of the provided services without any specific equipment other than their own telephone set. Telephone network operators must have the possibility to answer quickly to the market needs. Existing equipment must be able to provide the new services related mechanisms keeping their basic function (call process) and this, without affecting the existing quality of service. The management of the new functionality set must be flexible. Physically , a service is a software implemented in the network switches and is an additional function to the call process. As any software, a service is made up of : Programs called “service logic”; Data called “service data”. In order to provide services to a maximum number of users, these services must be implemented in all (or in a large part of) the network switches. In a classical telephone network architecture, the implementation of new services involves several problems such as : Lengthy service availability lead time due to the development, the update of the existing switches (or their replacement) and to the installation of the service; Difficulties in service logic and data modification; Possibility to affect the quality of service especially during the introduction phases of new services.

Intelligent Network Concept Why an Intelligent Network?
SMP SS7 Voice SSP: Service Switching Point SCP: Service Control Point STP: Signaling Transfer Point SMP: Service Management Point SCP SS7 STP The solution is to centralise the logic process and the service data management in a suitable environment: the Service Control Point (SCP). This environment is telephone network independent. The switches are no more service dependant. The only supplementary function for the call process is the Intelligent Network access function. The Intelligent Network access function is unique for all the services. It can be implemented in a dedicated switch or in all the telephone network switches. These switches are called Service Switching Points (SSP) The consequences are: A lower cost for the telephone network : A single type of switch for all services, No need to modify or change the equipment when providing new services, The Intelligent Network need not be a structure managed by the telephone network. Service delivery times shorter : The duration of a new service implementation is no longer dependant on the telephone network topology (number and type of switches…) so implementation becomes faster. A flexible management of the service logic and data : Centralised management in a suitable environment. The quality of basic service is not affected by new services introduction. SSP SSP

Service data 123456 SDF SCF Service logic SCP Request to create terminating call segment to “ 123456 SSF Service activation CCF Trigger detection Creation of terminating call segment creation Example: Free phone service The goal of this service in to translate a telephone number sent by the user into another telephone number (translated number) and to establish the call to this destination. The IN access is done using an overlay architecture. In the end user switch (Local Exchange - LE) and in the transit exchanges (TE) : The user initiates the call from the telephone providing a service access number (SAN) which contains a prefix (0800) and the number to be translated (123456). The CCAF function manages the telephone network calling party access and takes into account its subscription characteristics. The CCF, analysing the service access number, routes the call to the SSP (Upstream 1/2 call). In the SSP The CCF function Analyses the received number and, if it matches an IN call, asks to the SSF function to activate a service. In the given example, the numbering begins with 800. This is called SAC (Service Access Code), which is transmitted to the SSF function. The SSF function Checks from the received information, the triggering conditions and determines the identification of the service to be activated. Initiates a dialog with the SCF function. The information included in the SSF/SCF dialog components, contain the service identification as well as the number to be translated. In the SCP The SCF function Uses, once the dialog is open, the service identity (given in the dialog) in order to run the translation service logic. Requests the SDF function to provide the translated number from N° ( in the given example). Requests, through the open dialog with the SSF function, a call towards the translated number (downstream 1/2 call). In the given example, the service logic monitors the call establishment until the call is completed. Is advised when the call is completed and the service logic orders (via SSF) the CCF function to connect both half calls. If the service process is completed, the service logic closes the dialog with the SSF function and the call is monitored by CCF function of the switches. SSP LEX CCF CCF CCF LEX CCF TEX TEX CCAF CCAF

The call establishment to the service is done in the same way as the previous example (SAC use) In the SSP The SSF function After the SAC identification, initiates a dialog with the SCF function. This dialog activates the service. In the SCP The SCF function Runs the service logic which requests the intelligent peripheral (IP) to send an announcement to the user. This request will be executed via the SSP which realises this via the “relay” function. The identification of the announcement to be played will be contained in the SCF/SSF and CCF/SRF exchange of information. Requests the CCF function (via SSF function) to initiate a call towards the IP (Upstream 1/2 call) by providing the identity of the announcement to be played. The CCF function Initiates the call to the IP (downstream 1/2 call) which then plays the announcement. Connects both half calls. The calling party hears the announcement. CCAF

Account Calling Card The ACC service allows to use a prepaid account with a PSTN/ISDN line. The Service User can phone until the limit of prepaid credit is reached or until a predefined date. The Service User can refill his account during a predefined period. The predefined dates and period will be refreshed each time the account is refilled. The prepayment service is a telephone service primarily targeted at the single line residential market. Standard instruments are used on the service subscriber premises; either analogue or ISDN telephone sets capable of DTMF. The Service User requires no special card readers. To use the service, the Service User buys a starter pack, which contains the instructions to use the service. In addition, the Service User can recharge his account during a predefined period from Service Provider. Thus, the Service Provider is able to offer a range of different accounts. The ACC Service provides the user with the following set of services: Makes it possible to use a prepaid account with any PSTN/ISDN line. It provides flexibility to make more than one consecutive calls at the same time with the same card. More over it also allows user to follow on the existing call to make a new call without re entering the card number and the pin number.

To recharge his account, the Service User can go directly to a commercial agency of the Service Provider (e.g. the Service User can pay directly in cash). Recharging will be effective immediately, at a predefined date or at a date specified by the service provider. Bonus & rewards special period bonus: the operator may define, on profile basis, a period for which every prepaid activation will generate automatically an extra initial credit.The same concept applies to refills during this promotional period. The value of this extra credit depends on the prepaid account/voucher profile. loyalty bonus: the Service Provider can offer a bonus to users at the anniversary date of account activation (or at periodic intervals: e.g every X months) of its account activation. The bonus attribution may depend on the profile and the consumption of the Service User. Indeed the operator has the possibility of attributing a bonus only if credit consumption during the year (or every X month) is above a certain threshold. With this offer the Service Subscriber is incited to keep the same prepaid account all year round (periodic duration) and to maintain a certain level of communication. recharge bonus: the Service Provider can offer a bonus for heavy users. Indeed, the Service Provider may decide to automatically attribute a bonus to a Service User when he has refilled for more than a certain amount of time within a certain period. The bonus attribution may depend on the profile of the Service User, the frequency of the refill but also on the refill amount. With such a offer, the Service User is incited to recharge regularly and to use vouchers with high credit values to benefit from an attractive bonus. hotline bonus: the Service Provider can encourage a Service User to recharge quickly when the activity period has expired. The Service User receives a credit bonus if he recharges less than X days after becoming inactive. The bonus attribution depends on the profile of the Service User. Special duration : Service provider may go for defining some special duration , during which the it can allow any number of calls with certain peak limit to credit amount. The start date, end date and the permissible credit amount can be configured from the provider SMP application. All calls made during the given duration will come into the special service duration.

Account Calling Card Charging Slicing mechanism Call supervision
The charging of calls is based on the following criteria: the rate plan, associated with the account profile or the account and characterizing the pricing policy applied to one or more accounts the rate code, according to the time of the day (day of the call) the charging class, according to the origin and the destination of the call the call duration. Slicing mechanism The ACC service determines the cost of the calls in real time. This mechanism allows credit slice reservation for an outgoing call. It is possible to have several credit requests in real time of call, enabling multiple access to the account. Call supervision During a call, the remaining credit is checked in real time. Then if the credit limit is reached, the call is released. During a call, when the credit reaches the warning threshold, the service subscriber receives a tone X time before the exhaustion of the credit. ACC Service User interaction Special numbers allow the Service User to access a voice menu, which enables him to: Interrogate credit and validity information (this facility can be defined by the Service Provider in terms of “n” number of free consultations per day). modify language. change PIN. call via multiple remote access points.

Free Phone Number The Free Phone Service (FPH) is based on the concept of reverse charging added with many new features of useful capabilities. Users have to dial 11 (Eleven) digits number ABCD, ( common prefix, ABCD unique last four digits). The phone line used for making such calls will not be charged; instead the call charges will be billed against the company or individuals subscribing to the FPH service. The FPH subscriber assigns actual phone lines to receive FPH calls and a routing plan describing call routing based on origin of the call, time of the day, type of the day etc. For the same FPH no. thus it is possible to assign several destination phone nos. It can handle much more calls without any degradation in service. Subscribing to an FPH number is very convenient as a first hand contact number and is very suitable for obtaining general information, booking complaints etc. The service is popular with the business community as by providing an FPH number an user with the casual interest can be provided with relevant information about any product and services, or book an order – all without being burdened by any phone call charges to be paid

Universal Personnel Number- Specific Features
Service access restrictions The Service allows to select service access restrictions for incoming calls. These restrictions include: UPN Black Number: to bar malicious users from accessing their UPN numbers. The Service Subscriber defines the UPN Black Numbers relating to previous fraudulent usage with the Service Provider. The service rejects the calls originating from these numbers and a fault announcement is played. Grey list: to block access to the calling lines declared in the grey list, and unblock this access by entering a PIN. UPN Category Restriction: to restrict calls from certain calling party categories. UPN Black/white list: to specify restriction lists with exceptions. Calls are authorized or rejected according to the prefix or the complete calling number. The Service Subscriber defines black lists, which contain the numbers to be rejected, and white lists, which contain the numbers to be authorized. Call origin restriction: to reject incoming calls from the fixed (national or international) or mobile networks. Authentication: access to the UPN number is controlled by the request and check of a PIN. The PIN is necessary when the Subscriber wants to limit access to his UPN number to certain users. During call set-up the calling party first enters the UPN number, then is asked to enter the PIN in order to authenticate service accessibility. When the maximum number of attempts is reached (the number of wrong pin code inputs is configurable) the call is released. On timeout, the call can be rejected with a service or subscriber announcement or redirected to a UPN Routing Number. Call limiter: to limit the maximum number of simultaneous calls to one of his destinations (UPN Routing Numbers) or his UPN number. Supervision of the number of calls over a period: to supervise the number of calls per UPN number. Traffic type restriction: to restrict access to a UPN number for international incoming calls. Restriction on date: to restrict access to a UPN number during a period defined by a begin and an end date. Restriction on called party: to forbid connection to international UPN Routing Numbers.

Call establishment The Service Subscriber may select optional features for the handling of calls after call establishment. These features include: Called party information: the Service Subscriber may send a tone to the called party after he has hooked off and/or the UPN number before he has hooked off in order to inform the called party that the call is an UPN call and let the called party decide whether to accept the call or not (this feature is not available if the destination is an announcement destination). Time limit per call: the Service Subscriber may define a maximum duration of calls per UPN number. When the time limit is reached, the calling party receives an announcement and the call is released. No reply timer: the Service Subscriber may define a timer per UPN number, used at the connection time to determine the no reply case. Call rerouting: this feature enables the routing of UPN calls to an alternative destination (UPN Routing Number or announcement) when the destination is busy, does not reply within a given time period or when its call limiter is reached. Call queuing: this feature makes it possible to queue the incoming calls when the destination to a UPN Routing Number is busy, when there is no reply or when the limit set up in the call limiter is reached. The Service Subscriber defines the maximum number of retries and the maximum queuing duration. If these are reached, the call is rejected and the connection is retried for the next call in the queue. An announcement is played in the following cases: when the call is queued when the call is rejected because the maximum number of calls in the queue is reached when the call is rejected because the maximum queuing duration is reached when the status of the call changes during a connection retry (e.g. from busy to no reply).

Universal Personnel Number- Specific Features
Announcements There are two kinds of announcements, which are played for incoming calls: service announcements: played by default when there is no Subscriber announcement Subscriber announcements: defined by the Service Subscriber. welcome announcement: an announcement is played prior to call establishment language selection announcement: the Service User is asked to select a language for the announcements and error messages customized announcement: enables the Service Subscriber to define announcements according to his specific needs. Charging To charge the calling party at a premium rate there is a charge band associated with a UPN Number.

Virtual Private Network
Virtual Private Network provides Virtual Private Automatic Branch Exchange (VPABX) service through Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMN) and a Public Switch Telephony Network (PSTN). The VPN service works on the public networks providing private numbering plans, private access to multiple locations, company calls control and roaming capability through networks based on the CAMEL phase 2 environment. VPN service provide connectivity between two or more places using a previously established, shared network infrastructure rather than having to deploy new, dedicated hardware specifically for this purpose. • Combined voice VPN can be provided for fixed line telephones of BSNL/MTNL and BSNL mobile. • Use this service by dialing short codes to have a private network using public network resources. • This service brings down telephone bills due to special package tariff for calls within VPN. • 11 digit number 1801-XYZ-ABCD Voice Virtual Private Network service is most suitable for - • Good for institutions, Government departments and businesses. • All type of companies, distributors, firms, institutions, housing society etc

Virtual Private Network
Fixed/mobile convergence The VPN service integrates both fixed and mobile capabilities into the communication system of the company. The mobile and fixed phones of company users are then included into the company’s PNP (Private Numbering Plan). Multi-site management The company may be a group located on several different sites: the VPN service makes it possible for each site to have its own Private Numbering Plan, and calls between sites are considered as calls on private networks. Private Numbering Plan The Telecom Manager assigns private extensions to the site’s VPN users of the site users. Each VPN user can have more than one company line. Thus, a VPN user can call another VPN user in the same company by simply dialing a unique reduced number of digits. The Telecom Manager can define PABX (Private Automatic Branch Exchange) ranges or/and individual PABX extensions in a site. Private extensions can be defined independently from of a PABX range. The Private Numbering Plan may be either a structured or an unstructured PNP for all the sites of the group. Preferred External Destination – This feature allows a subscribing company to integrate non-VPN lines as preferred external destinations (for instance, partnerships, suppliers, customers, etc) by defining Preferred External Destination (PED) numbers (also called ABD) in the site’s Private Numbering Plan of the site. A PED number is associated with a complete public directory number (fixed or mobile) or a PABX range. Group Hunting The aim of Group Hunting is to manage the mobility of a VPN user by defining a list of numbers that, that can be called to reach the VPN user. This feature allows routing incoming calls according to a sequential examination of the numbers in a Hunting List. It is activated either for company incoming calls or for incoming calls from an outside company when a VPN user is busy, or does not reply, or is not reachable. A default hunting list, including the four user’s four lines and the voice mail is used if no dedicated hunting list or hunting list was specified for the VPN user.
48
Virtual Private Network
IN Call forwarding Call forwarding is a routing feature managed dynamically by a given VPN user or operator when he/she wants to specify an alternative destination to for reaching him/her. Call forwarding has the priority over Group Hunting. This means that if a given VPN user activates call forwarding, the forwarded number is used to call him/her, even he/she has a Hunting List.; Group Hunting is processed when call forwarding is not activated. Call forwarding can be processed in mobile or fixed networks or in company PABXs. There are two types of call forwarding: Call Forwarding Conditional (CFC): on busy, no reply or not reachable conditions. Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU): no condition. CFU overruling This feature enables some privileged calling parties (e.g. secretary or family member) to overrule Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU) in order to call directly a given VPN user directly. Voice mail management Each VPN user can have a voice mail in the mobile or fixed network, or in the PABX. The voice mail can be used as a final destination in the management of IN call forwarding or Hunting Lists. Exception lists This feature allows the screening of incoming and outgoing calls of company users based on two types of lists - named called exception lists - containing “allowed” or “not allowed” numbers. VPN lines A VPN user can have more than one VPN line (e.g. PABX extension, mobile, a fixed phone in home etc). Up to four company lines can be defined for each VPN user. Each line may have its own extension (unstructured numbering) or may be identified by a line code before a unique extension (structured numbering). In the framework of a structured numbering plan, this feature allows a given VPN user to call another VPN user by indicating the called line. Thus, the call is routed according to the used line code directly to the line of the concerned called party’s concerned line. If no line code is dialed, the default destination is used to route the call.
49
Virtual Private Network
On-net and Off-net calls On-net calls are private calls made by VPN users to call other VPN users in the same group. Off-net calls are calls made by VPN users towards the public network For making Off net calls PIN verification is there. On-site and Off-site calls On-site call: a call is said to be on-site when the cell phone is inside his the user’s site area. Off-site call: a call is said to be off-site when the cell phone is outside his the user’s site area. Forced on Net, Virtual on Net The VPN service provides for two options regarding private rate charges for calls to public numbers: Forced on Net: enables telephone calls to private numbers in the plan (fixed or mobile), dialed using the public format, to be charged at private rates. Virtual on Net: enables telephone calls to Preferred External Destinations outside the company to be charged at private rates. Account code This feature enables you to mark calls made by VPN users of a given group in the company account according to the company activities and organization. Dual invoicing This feature allows you to bill calls made by a given VPN user either on the corporate account or on his/her personal account.
50
Virtual Private Network
Group short numbers Group short numbers can be defined in the PNP (Private Numbering Plan) at company level. Group short numbers enable VPN users of different sites to access public directory numbers or other PNP short numbers (except another short number of the same group) by just dialing the short number. Welcome number Welcome numbers are public directory numbers enabling external people (not belonging to the subscribing company) to make calls to dedicated VPN users (for instance, customer information service, technical support, etc). The welcome number is translated into a private number (for instance, group short number, extension or site short number) and is handled by the VPN service as a call made by a CMM user. Remote access With the Remote Access (RMTA) feature, VPN users can access the Private Numbering Plan of their site from any handset not belonging to the VPN group (in a national or international context), and take advantage of the VPN services (voice mail access, PED numbers, etc). This access is provided by means of a dedicated service code VPN Service Access Number and authentication. Substitution With the substitution feature, VPN users can access the Private Numbering Plan of their site from any handset of another VPN user of their group, and take advantage of the VPN services and to the rights granted to the said member line (voice mail access, PED numbers etc). This access is provided by means of a dedicated service code and authentication. Follow-on call With the follow-on call feature, VPN users can initiate, under some certain conditions, a new call without authentication after a remote access, substitution or dual invoicing call, or a new call after a call to the account code service without having to redial the account code. Inter-working with co-operating VPNs This feature enables the VPN platform to inter-work with co-operating VPNs by routing to them or receiving company calls from them. The sites of a group (i.e. a subscribing company) can be dealt with by several co-operating VPNs in different countries.

TELE-VOTING
57
TELE-VOTING The Tele-voting Service allows the service subscriber to conduct telephonic public opinion polls and surveys. • Any phone user can indicate his/her opinion by dialing the advertised Tele-voting number of the Service subscriber followed by the choice digits ? as advertised. • On subscribing to the Tele-voting service the network operator (BSNL) will allocate logical number to the Tele-voting subscriber with last 2 digits used for recording choice / opinion. • The users access the service by dialing the Tele-voting number as advertised by the TVOT subscriber. The TVOT call will be routed to an announcement acknowledging the call. The choice counter will be incremented according to the last two digits dialed and received. • After the voting period, the TVOT service subscriber will be provided with the results of the opinion poll by the Network Operator (BSNL). A call to a TVOT no. may or may not be charged depending on the policy defined by the TVOT subscriber. • Enhancements are possible such as routing n-th call to a lucky number – with opportunity to talk to a celebrity / organizers / live show etc. The frequency "n" is to be defined by the TVOT subscriber. • The service can be available within the city or beyond the city as well. If the call is allowed beyond the city, then the long distance call charge may be levied to the TVOT subscriber or the caller as decided by the TVOT subscriber at the time of subscribing to the TVOT service.
58
TELE-VOTING Features There are 4 types of access codes available depending on the type of Tele-voting Service to be subscribed : a) Tele-voting (No call charge for caller) : WXYZ AB ( all call charges billed to the TVOT subscriber) b) Tele-voting ( user to pay call charge ) : WXYZ AB ( calls to TVOT is charged at the same rate as for local calls ). c) Tele-voting (user to pay charge at a 2 units per call): WXYZ AB ( calls to TVOT is charged at 2 units per call). d) Tele-voting (user to pay charge at a rate specified by the subscriber): WXYZ AB (calls to TVOT is charged at a rate specified by the subscriber). WXYZ ( 4 digits ) is the TVOT number of the TVOT subscriber and AB ( 2 digits ) indicates the choice. 2. In case of lucky calls (n-th calls – as described above), a Tele-voting Service provider can register more than one phone number located anywhere in City against a single Tele-voting number ( WXYZ AB or WXYZ AB or WXYZ AB or WXYZ AB) and has his own pre- defined routing plan with a variety of choices : • He / She may wish to receive calls from a particular locality or city, cities, etc. depending on the origin of call. • He / She can receive calls to any number on holidays / weekend / outside working hours depending on time.
59
TELE-VOTING Features 3. The TVOT subscriber will be supplied with the detailed bill for all calls received against the TVOT number. 4. Business model: Announcements can be customized according to the customer’s requirements. Advantages of TVOT service 1. Routing of nth call : The nth call or the winner call can either be routed to some appropriate announcement or to customer care number. 2. Revenue sharing arrangement : For the mass calling events like Indian Idol (Sony TV) or KBC (Star TV) there is a revenue sharing arrangement between BSNL and the customer. 3. Successful shows based on Tele voting : Some of the hugely successful shows based on Tele voting are Indian Idol (Sony TV), KBC (Star TV) and Dial One Aur Jeeto (Sahara One TV). Utility of TVOT Service : The Tele-voting Service is very useful for conducting surveys / opinion polls or Quiz programs by different organizations. This service can be employed where a large number of TV programs are operating incentive schemes to increase / retain viewers, for determining the popular actor / actress, ratings, etc.

Tele Voting- General Description
Scope The Caller makes a call to the one of the n VOT numbers (max 50) Televoting Service Counter Update every nth call or nth call The VOT service allows a service subscriber to know the number of calls placed to each among several Televoting numbers during some time periods in the PSTN/PLMN/ISDN network. The calls are registered and counted. This service enables to survey public opinion using the telephone network. A special routing can be defined for some calls chosen on counting criteria. VOT applies for national calls only. Maximal10 vote numbers per voting event are offered to the user to express his choice. Each voting choice is associated to a VOT phone number. To express his vote, the user makes a call to the VOT number, and then the corresponding counter is incremented. An announcement is made to thank the user for voting. The VOT service allows a service subscriber to know the number of users who have chosen each televoting number. Televoting numbers are assigned to the televoting event and activated for the time period(s) requested by the service subscriber. The service allows selecting some efficient calls. VOT offers the following "Types of vote" which are ways to select winners: Select one call about n until a certain number max of winners, Select the nth call. For these calls the televoting user is routed to a public network directory number which can be an operator for a winning. For the other calls the users receive a thanks announcement. Independent from the chosen vote type there will be no winner if the game parameter of the voting event is set to zero. In this case all callers get the thanks announcement. After the televoting event is finished, the results registered during the event are available to the service subscriber. Announcement operator

Tele Voting- Service Features
Validity period VOT number can be valid or not calls placed out of the validity period are routed to fault announcement Counter Global vote counter Local televoting counter per VOT number Winner counter Counters can be reset Validity period: A VOT number can be valid or not, i.e. attributed by the operator to a subscriber or not. Calls placed out of the validity period are routed to a fault announcement. Counter: Each acknowledged call for a vote number increases a counter related to the dialled VOT number. After every “n” [1] efficient calls the SMP database is updated with the actual counter values. At any given point of time, all the counters associated to a given vote event can be reset[2] using the operator interface. The counter update for an efficient call is made as follows: read and increment the global vote counter, increment the local Tele-voting number counter with a multiplicative factor of the filtering rate, if call is a winner, increment the local winner counter, if local global counter is a multiple of “SMP Counter Update parameter”, update the dynamic Tele-voting number counters and the dynamic winner counter in the SMP.

Tele Voting- Service Features
Origin dependent handling: Call handling according to the origin of the call, determined with the first few digits of the calling line for fixed phones or the first few digits of the location number for mobile phones. Two types of routing exist when the Origin Dependent Handling criterion is used: routing to a fault announcement, for the origin areas not defined, routing to a destination (that can be an announcement or a PSTN/PLMN number), for the allowed origin areas.
64
Tele Voting- Service Features
Day type dependent handling VOT call handling depends on day type. Two types of routing exist: routing to a fault announcement, for the forbidden day type, routing to a destination (that can be an announcement or a PSTN/PLMN number), for the allowed day type. This feature is available only without pre-filtering [i.e. filtering rate N=1]. This feature enables the service subscriber to specify the handling of the call according to the ‘day type’ of the call. Two types of routing exist when the day type dependent handling criterion is used: routing to a fault announcement, for the forbidden day type, routing to a destination (that can be an announcement or a PSTN/PLMN number), for the allowed day type. The day type is determined from the date of the call. Day types are defined with calendar. By default 10 public calendars are available in the VOT which a subscriber can associate to his VOT number. In addition, the service subscriber can define customized calendars. Up to 16 day types can be defined per calendar. Each day of the year must be associated to one day type. The subscriber may indicate a different destination for each of them (max: 15 branches + branch “else”). When the service provider creates the Tele-voting event he associates one of the calendars to it. From this calendar the day types in the criterion are derived.
65
Tele Voting- Service Features
Time dependant handling VOT call handling depends on time. Two types of routing exist: routing to a fault announcement, for the forbidden time, routing to a destination (that can be an announcement or a PSTN/PLMN number), for the allowed time. Time dependent handling This feature is available only without pre-filtering [i.e. filtering rate N=1]. This criterion enables to route a call according to the time band the call is set up. The time band is determined from the time of the call. Time band is defined as the interval in which the call will be translated to a given destination. Two types of routing exist when the time dependent handling criterion is used: routing to a fault announcement, for the forbidden time, routing to a destination (that can be an announcement or a PSTN/PLMN number), for the allowed time. Time information A day can be divided into time bands allowing a separate distribution arrangement for each time band. For a specific translation it will be possible to specify up to 12 time bands in one day defined in hours and minutes with a precision of one second. In fact, there can be up to 11 time bands and the ELSE case.
