Connection
State
Indicates the current call state of the AC. The following are
connection states associated with dial-out ACs:
■ enabled - is transient in nature and indicates that an AC is about
to enter the attempting to connect state.
■ disabled - this may mean one of three things:
— The AC has reached an administered retry threshold, and all
retries are stopped. Verify this by checking the Error Log and
checking whether an error type of 9 is logged against the AC.
— The AC was in a connected state and the far end
disconnected.
— The initial channel call has not yet connected. No dial out call
attempt is made for the additional channel(s) until the initial
channel has reached a connected state.
■ not scheduled - is transient in nature and indicates that an AC
is about to enter the “attempting to connect” state.
■ waiting to retry - means that the AC is inactive (sleeping)
and waiting for the retry timer to expire. Once the timer expires,
the AC sends a dial out call and enters the “attempting to
connect” state. ACs in this state indicate that the dial out call has
failed at least once.
■ attempting to connect - means that the AC is active on a
call, but the call has not yet connected.
■ connected - means that the call associated with the AC has
been answered and join cut-thru to the conference.
Retry Count This field indicates how many retries have been attempted for this AC
during this join attempt. This field does not clear when the AC
connects. However, it clears when a new join attempt is made via a
Redial feature. Note that this is different from the Join Count which
counts the number of times the channel joined the conference during
this conference session.
Failure Cause This field shows an ISDN or CPTR cause value (values lower than
0x7f) recorded when the last dial out call was dropped. Values above
0x7f are generated internally. Table 8-6
lists all possible failure cause
values displayed by this field and its associated description. The
Failure Cause value is logged in the Error Log and can be
displayed via the display errors command. (Err Type is normally
displayed as a decimal.)
