Configuring DEFINITY ECS for telecommuting 

Issue 1

April 2000

Telecommuting emphasizes the ability to perform telephony activities while 
remote from the DEFINITY ECS. It is a combination of four features which 
permit you to remotely perform changes to your station’s Coverage and Call 
Forwarding.

If you are operating in a DCS environment, you need to assign a different 
telecommuting-access extension to each switch and tell your users which 
extension they should use. A user can set up call coverage from any of the 
DCS nodes, but needs to dial the telecommuting-access extension of the 
node on which their station is defined before using the feature access code.

■

Coverage of Calls Redirected Off Net (CCRON) allows you to redirect 
calls off-net onto the public network and bring back unanswered calls for 
further coverage.

If a call covers or forwards off net and an answering machine answers 
the call or it is directed to a cellular phone and a cellular 
announcement is heard, the switch views this call as an answered call. 
The switch does not bring the call back to the switch for further 
routing.
