• When an analog-station call goes to coverage, the station drops from the call. This
is the exception to the branch leaving the extended-to party ringing. If the main
attendant extends a call to an analog station and that call goes to coverage and
later returns to the main attendant, the call is treated as an incoming LDN call and
the attendant must re-extend the call, if requested by the user.
• On an incoming CAS call to the main attendant, the Name field from the
trunk-group form for that RLT displays to the attendant. Therefore, you should
administer the field to provide meaningful branch identification information.
• Music-on-Hold feature at branch applies to two stages of LDN calls: during call
extension and Remote Hold.
Interactions • Abbreviated Dialing
The main attendant can use an Abbreviated Dialing button to extend CAS calls
after obtaining branch dial tone.
• Attendant Auto-Manual Splitting
The SPLIT lamp and button do not function on CAS main calls extended via the
RLT trunk. Attendant conference does not function on CAS calls.
• Attendant Control of Trunk-Group Access
If a branch attendant has control of an outgoing RLT trunk group, new
attendant-seeking calls route to the branch attendant.
• Attendant Override of Diversion
Use Attendant Override of Diversion with CAS.
• Attendant Serial Calling
Attendant Serial Calling does not work for CAS calls.
• Automatic Alternate Routing and Automatic Route Selection
CAS calls can be routed using AAR and ARS.
• Busy-Indicator Buttons
Busy indicators can identify incoming calls over an RLT. You can also use Busy
indicators to dial after the attendant starts to extend a call.
• Call Coverage
Redirect calls to a centralized attendant by Call Coverage. Do not redirect calls to
a CAS backup extension for backup service via Send All Calls to the backup
extension’s coverage path.
• Call Detail Recording
If the CAS main RLT trunk has the CDR option selected, CDR records generate
for incoming CAS calls.
• Call Forwarding
Do not forward calls to a CAS extension.
