(ASCEND) Centrex Calls with 5.0Ap36 (Private/Public Flags)
We were running 4.6Cp22 on our Max 2000 and decided to jump over to
5.0Ap36 but had to go back to 4.6Cp22 after we could not call any of
our Centrex ISDN customers with 5.0Ap36.
To avoid PacBell per-minute charges, we must dial the Centrex
extensions with 5-digits (it can vary depending on your need).
We had the PacBell Tech Support folks watch us make some Centrex
calls and they did not see us set the 'Private' flag in the call
setup. This flag has to be set for Centrex calls (if the Private
flag isn't set, it assumes you are making a Public call). In the
past this has not been a problem before because PacBell hacked around
this 'Private' flag requirement, but they don't do that any more
since SBC has declared the switches will run unhacked code, which
I guess is a GoodThing ;-) 4.6Cp22 set the Private flag, 5.0Ap36
does not.
Anyone else doing Centrex calls to their customers on a DMS-100 in
PacBell-Land with 5.0Ap36?
I have reported the problem to Ascend but haven't heard back from them
on this particular issue...
P.S. - Other than this Private flag problem, we would very happy with
5.0Ap36.
