I've got a P75 at our office configured to call three data locations, internet, my home, my bosses home. We use one of the incoming numbers for a fax number. We use one of the incoming numbers as another voice number. We have an extra analog telephne line. (there are only two of us in the office.) I'm connected to an ATT5ESS running NI-1. If I have data calls going in two directions, I'd like to have an incoming VOICE call (on the first number) get forwarded to the true analog phone number. I want to have an incoming DATA call get a "no channel available" message or something similar. If I have data calls going in two directions, I'd like to have an incoming VOICE call (on the SECOND number, which I'm using for a fax) get a busy signal. If I have a bonded data call going out, I'd like an incoming analog call to knock down one of the channels. (like it currently works) I don't really want traditional analog style call waiting on either line. >From my limited understanding of ISDN, it seems to me that if the line is simply provisioned for call forwarding, configuring all of this should be possible from the TA (the P75 in this case.) If the P75 (and 25 and 15, and any other item with an analog port) had an analog features configuartion section with the following options for each spid then I could make my P75 work as a nice home system with a standard thing to tell the phone company when setting it up. since I think I have to tell the phone company to set up ACO to get 2 data calls running on the same number, that seems to enable call waiting by default. I personally don't like call waiting, and would rather that the person gets transferred to an answering system. I just don't want to deal with the phone company for my answering system. Analog Features: Number A Call Waiting [true/false Toggle] Number A Forwarding [true/false Toggle] Number A "forward on busy" [telephone number of destination] Number A "forward on no answer" (or delayed forwarding) [telephone number of destination] (All repeated for Number B) Am I being unreasonable in what I expect to be possible? Should I mail this to another location as a feature request? The reason I started thinking about this is the frequency I'm having people not able to reach me on the analog portion of our ISDN line. I called the phone company to find out if I could get a forward on busy feature added to the first number on out ISDN line. I was told that I could, but that it wouldn't distinguish between a DATA call and a VOICE call. This wasn't what I wanted. It seems to me that currently, if I've got an incoming data call on A and a second data call comes in on A, it gets correctly answered with the second channel. (or the incoming call is voice, it still correctly rings through on the second channel) I don't want to break that. --- William C Bonner <wbonner@lgx.com> 6110 E Mockingbird Ln Home Fax: +1-214-692-9277 Voice: +1-214-692-9278 Suite 102-762 Work Fax: +1-214-989-9782 Voice: +1-214-989-9781 Dallas, TX 75214-2600 ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq">http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq</A>> or <<A HREF="ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt">ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg04588.html">Re: (ASCEND) MAX4000 Trumpet Winsock</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg04586.html">RE: (ASCEND) to get the number of active PPP sessions</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg04752.html">Re: (ASCEND) 48 modem limit on Max with 56k cards</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg04591.html">(ASCEND) Want 2nd number on a MAX to answer with Force 56k</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail172.html#04587"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd6.html#04587"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
