Centralized Attendant Service Description and engineering

Feature description

The Centralized Attendant Service (CAS) feature allows customers with

multiple locations to centralize their attendant services at a single location. A

typical CAS configuration consists of one or more Remote locations, each

served by its own switch and attendants, and a Main site location, where the

CAS attendants are located (see Figure 1). Each Remote location has access

to the Main CAS attendant through Release Link Trunks (RLT), which can

be either analog or digital. In addition, the Remote locations are

interconnected by TIE trunks.

The types of calls that require attendant assistance and can be handled by a

CAS attendant are as follows:

— Listed Directory Number (LDN) calls

— Dial “0” calls (“0” is optional if the Flexible Attendant Directory

Number is used)

— Recalls, intercepts, or transfers to attendant

— Operator-assisted calls for restricted telephones, giving access to

wide-area transmission service (WATS), Foreign Exchange (FX), and

Central Office (CO) trunks

When any of the preceding calls are placed, an idle Release Link Trunk

(RLT) at the Remote site is seized and the calls are presented to the CAS

attendant. If an idle RLT is not available, the calls are queued until one

becomes available. The CAS attendant can extend the call to a local or

Remote telephone.

Feature description

553-2681-100 Standard 5.00 August 1996

When a call is released by the attendant, the RLT is released. Information

tones sent from the Remote site allow the CAS attendant to identify the type

of incoming call and to confirm features, such as Camp-On, during call

processing.

The system can serve as either a Main or a Remote site. Operation is

compatible with

AT&T Technical Advisory Manual 10

(TA-10). CAS is

therefore compatible with any system that meets the specifications in that

document.
