ASAI and Value Query Capabilities
9-10 Issue 7 May 1998
characters are ASCII characters). If four tildes appear in a name sent by the ECS,
then the characters following the first and third tildes will use the special European
or Katakana character map so that the characters can be translated; the second
and fourth tildes discontinue special character mapping and resume the use of
ASCII characters. To illustrate the use of tildes for character mapping and
translation, the Spanish name, “Pe~n~a,” is received from the ECS by ASAI and
this name is subsequently translated by the ASAI adjunct to “Peña.” The first tilde
in this name turns on character mapping and the second tilde turns it off. It should
be noted that the application can only present the translated name to the user if
the operating system supports the European and Katakana character sets. For
details on character mapping, see the “Enhanced Voice Terminal Display” section
in Chapter 4 of the

Party_ID Query ACK Parameters
The ECS responds with the party_id and the extension number (on-PBX
extensions — local parties) on the call.
The ECS responds with the following information in the value parameter of the
acknowledgment to the Party_id Query request:
party_id is a list of identifiers for the endpoints on the specific call (call_id).
extension_number is a list of extension numbers for each party on the call. A
party on the call may be an on-PBX connected extension, an alerting extension,
or a split hunt group extension (when the call is queued). When a call is queued
on more than one split hunt group, only one split hunt group extension is provided
in the response to such query. For calls that are alerting at various groups (for
example, hunt group, TEG, and so forth), the group extension is reported to the
adjunct. For calls that are connected to the member of a group, the group
member’s extension is reported back to the adjunct.
For off-PBX parties, the ECS always provides an extension entry even though it
may contain the default value. A default value of ##### is provided.
