5. 5 Call Distribution Element (CDE)
Fig. 52 Call distribution elements in relation to the other routing elements
Call distribution elements are used to route an incoming call to an individual desti-
nation or to a combination of destinations.
Each call distribution element is assigned a switch group. The destinations can be
specified differently for all three switch positions of the switch group.
Each call distribution element can be linked with two other call distribution ele-
ments for the routing to alternative destinations if either the original destination is
busy or the call is not answered.
A call distribution element can be addressed both internally and externally. It can
route a call to an internal or an external destination.
Call distribution elements can be allocated call numbers in the numbering plan. In-
ternal calls can then be routed to a call distribution element by selecting one of
these numbers (but not with name selection).
