Call Commands CH A P T E R 6 This section provides detailed information on call commands for the Cisco ATA: • Call Command Structure, page 6-1 • Syntax, page 6-2 • Call Command Example, page 6-5 • Call Command Behavior, page 6-7 Service providers can offer many supplementary services, which can be activated, configured, or deactivated in more than one way. The CallCmd parameter allows you to define the behavior of supplementary services that the Cisco ATA supports. Note The term Cisco ATA refers to both the Cisco ATA 186 and the Cisco ATA 188, unless otherwise stated. Note This section contains call command information for the United States and Sweden. For information about other countries, contact the Cisco equipment provider for a specific country. Call Command Structure The entry in the CallCmd field is a character string composed of a sequence of instructions, which consist of a combination of three elements: • Context-The Cisco ATA supplementary service operation is dependent upon a state and transition process. For example, the most common state is IDLE, in which the Cisco ATA is on-hook, waiting for an incoming call. Picking up the telephone handset causes the Cisco ATA to transition to the PREDIAL state, in which the user hears a dial tone and the Cisco ATA is waiting to detect DTMF digits. The Context portion of a Call Command string specifies the state for which the commands are defined. • Input-Sequence-The input sequence is simply the input from the user, a combination of hook-flash and DTMF digits. • Action-This specifies the action taken by the Cisco ATA. The action depends on the Input-Sequence that the user enters and the Context in which it is entered.
