SIMPLE CALL ACCOUNTING FOR INBOUND AND OUTBOUND CALLS
When only call logging is required and reporting will be performed afterwards, the unit can be
set to report only "end of call" records (lower case "a" and "s" toggle set). The information
reported in the end record contains the same information as the start record and but adds the
call duration and the number of rings before answer.
The only instance when the above statement is not true is when the lower case "t" toggle is set.
Lower case "t" instructs the unit to capture touch-tones digits after an inbound call has been
answered. These digits are placed in the Caller ID name field on the "end of call" record and
substitute for the Caller ID name. If your application requires that the Caller ID number,
Caller ID name, and inbound touch tones are reported, then the unit must be set to report both
"start of call" and "end of call" records. This would require the upper case "A" toggle to be
set.
CAPTURING CALLER ID DATA AND MENU SELECTIONS IN IVR SYSTEMS
A typical example of this type of application is in the real estate industry. Agents record
details for listed properties on a system where potential clients can call in to find out more
information. These callers maneuver through voice menus using touch-tones to listen to
specifics on various properties. By capturing the Caller ID number, Caller ID name, and the
menu choices, the agent can turn potential clients into sales leads.
For this type of application, the unit needs to set to capture "start of call" and "end of call"
records as well as touch tones pressed after the call is answered. Set the upper case "A" and
the lower case "t" toggles. Both the "start of call" and "end of call" records must be captured
when the Caller ID name and touch tone digits dialed are required. These digits are placed in
the Caller ID name field on the "end of call" record and substitute for the Caller ID name.
Usually this application does not require monitoring outbound calls, so the upper case "O"
toggle would be set.
