The “.CUS” Files
“C<digits>” in the function code field. If the “caller” parameter is given it must be
followed by one of three keywords that specify the handling of caller enter function codes:
NO Caller entered function codes are ignored, they are overridden by the
trunk function code, just as ordinary fixed function codes. The caller
will not be prompted for a function code. This is the default if the
“caller” keyword was not given.
YES Caller entered function codes defeat the trunk override. Subscribers
with caller entered function code set will not be aware of the trunk
function code override at all, callers to those subscribers will be
prompted for a function code.
DEFAULT The trunk override function code replaces the default function code of
the caller entered setting. That is if a subscriber has a function code
setting of C2, and the trunk override function code is 3, then the
subscriber's function code in effect is C3. Callers will be prompted for
a function code, only the default setting will have been changed.
In the case of group call function codes the optional “Group” keyword will control the
action taken. There are only two possible settings for the handling of group call function
codes, as the group function code setting does not have the caller entered code choice. One
of the two choices must follow the “Group” keyword if it is given:
NO Group function code values are ignored; they are overridden by the
trunk function code, just like ordinary function codes. This is the
default if the “group” keyword was not given.
YES Group function codes defeat the trunk override. Subscribers within a
group will not be aware of the trunk function code override at all, as
their normal group function codes will be used.
Using the feature
The trunk function code override feature is enabled by placing a FunctionCode line in the
trunks.cus file. The options.cus file should have a set of PagerCode entries for all the
pagers being used that have function code settings in ZbaseW. There need be no
PagerCode setting for combinations that do not exist on the terminal. For example, if there
are no voice capable POCSAG pagers than there is no need to have “voice” and “both”
settings.
The ZlinkW “liu -o” command was enhanced to display the new feature settings. A new
field, titled “Fcode”, appears after the “Name” field.
This field consists of three sections. The first section will be a “*” if there is no trunk
override function code active, in which case no more information is displayed in the field.
If there is an override then the value of the function code digit will be displayed.
