Wideband Switching
Issue 5 October 2002 1945555-233-506
Interactions
Administered Connections
Provides call initiation for WAEs. All Administered Connections that
originate from WAEs use the entire bandwidth administered for WAE. The
destination of an Administered Connection can be a PRI endpoint.
Automatic Circuit Assurance (ACA)
Treats wideband calls as single-trunk calls so that a single ACA-referral
call is made if an ACA-referral call is required. The call is on the lowest
B-channel associated with the wideband call.
Call Coverage
A wideband endpoint extension cannot be administered as a coverage point
in a call-coverage path.
Call Detail Recording (CDR)
When CDR is active for the trunk group, all wideband calls generate CDR
records. The feature flag indicates a data call and CDR records contain
bandwidth and Bearer Capability Class (BCC).
Call Forwarding
You must block Call Forwarding through Class of Service.
Call Management System (CMS) and Basic Call Management System
(BCMS)
Wideband calls can be carried over trunks that are measured by CMS and
BCMS. Wideband endpoints are not measured by CMS and BCMS.
Call Vectoring
PRI endpoints use a vector-directory number when dialing. For example,
PRI endpoint 1001 dials VDN 500. VDN 500 points to Vector 1. Vector 1
can point to other PRI endpoints such as route-to 1002, or route-to 1003, or
busy.
Call Vectoring is used by certain applications. When an incoming
wideband call hunts for an available wideband endpoint, the call can route
to a VDN, that sends the call to the first available PRI endpoint.
Class of Restriction (COR)
COR identifies caller and called-party privileges for PRI endpoints.
Administer the COR so that account codes are not required. Forced entry of
account codes is turned off for wideband endpoints.
