ASAI and Call Control
Issue 7 May 1998
4-35
service_circuit Must not be present
return_ack [optional] If this parameter is present, it indicates that
the ECS should return an acknowledgment to the
request. If this parameter is not present, the ECS
does not return an acknowledgment.
uui_info [optional] The ECS supports receiving UUI in the
Third Party Make Call request from the adjunct. If an
ASAI adjunct provides UUI in a Third Party Make Call,
then the ECS stores that UUI with the call.
UUI from a Third Party Make Call will be sent in any
ISDN SETUP message for the call, in the Alerting and
Call Offered Event Reports, and in a Route Request,
if one is made.
The UUI IE sent over an ISDN trunk can contain more
data than the UUI IE sent to ASAI. This happens
when the ISDN trunk group is administered with
supplementary service protocol other than B, and the
UUI IE Treatment is set to “shared”. The UUI for ASAI
is packed within the shared UUI before it is sent over
an ISDN trunk, and is unpacked at the other end.
This is transparent to the ASAI adjuncts, with two
exceptions:
1. If the maximum size UUI allowed on the ISDN
trunk is exceeded, then the lower priority data
items will be dropped. Whether or not this means
that ASAI UUI is dropped depends on the
priorities of the data items. These priorities are
administered on each trunk group form. Each item
stored in shared UUI uses two extra bytes.
Therefore, if the ISDN trunk group is administered
to allow a shared UUI length of 32 bytes then the
ASAI UUI will be limited to 30 bytes instead of 32.
2. If a service provider, or customer equipment other
than a DEFINITY ECS (R6.3 or later) will be
interpreting the contents of the UUI IE, then the
trunk group used to place those calls should have
its UUI IE Treatment set to “service-provider”.
This sends the UUI as specified by the ASAI
application, without change.
