Field Descriptions
Dial-Out
Number
The actual numbers that are dialed out by the administered connections for
each channel in the call. Note that the dial Out #1 and #2 on page 1 of the
forms display the DCP endpoint number. This is particularly useful with bonding
dial-out calls.
Connection
State
Indicates the current call state of the AC. The following are connection states
associated with dial-out ACs:
■ enabled—is transient in nature and indicates that an AC is about to enter
the attempting to connect state.
■ disabled—this may mean one of three things:
— The AC has reached an administered retry threshold, and all
retries are stopped. Verify this by checking the error log and
checking whether an error type of 9 is logged against the AC.
— The AC was in a connected state and the far end disconnected.
— The initial channel call has not yet connected. No dial out call
attempt is made for the additional channel(s) until the initial
channel has reached a connected state.
■ not scheduled—is transient in nature and indicates that an AC is
about to enter the “attempting to connect” state.
■ waiting to retry—means that the AC is inactive (sleeping) and
waiting for the retry timer to expire. Once the timer expires, the AC sends a
dial out call and enters the “attempting to connect” state. ACs in this state
indicate that the dial out call has failed at least once.
■ attempting to connect—means that the AC is active on a call, but
the call has not yet connected.
■ connected—means that the call associated with the AC has been
answered and join cut-thru to the conference.
Retry Count
This field indicates how many retries have been attempted for this AC during
this join attempt. This field does not clear when the AC connects. However, it
clears when a new join attempt is made via a Redial feature. Note that this is
different from the
Join Count which counts the number of times the channel
joined the conference during this conference session.
Failure
Cause
This field shows an ISDN or CPTR cause value (values lower than 0x7f)
recorded when the last dial out call was dropped. Values above 0x7f are
generated internally. Table 7-49 lists every possible failure cause value
displayed by this field and its associated description. The
Failure Cause
value is logged in the error log and can be displayed via the display errors
command. (
Err Type is normally displayed as a decimal.)
