Automated Attendant
Automated Attendant uses vector commands to allow a caller to enter the 
extension of the party that he or she would like to reach. The call is routed by the 
vector to that extension.
Refer to DEFINITY ECS Call Vectoring/EAS Guide or DEFINITY BCS and 
Guestworks Call Vectoring Guide 
for a detailed description of Automated 
Attendant and for a sample vector that can be used for Automated Attendant. The 
guide contains information that is critical to the effective and efficient use of 
Automated Attendant.
You can administer any display-equipped phone or attendant console with a Caller 
Information CALLR-INFO button. The button displays digits collected for the last 
collect digits
 command.
Automated Attendant competes with several features for ports on the call 
classifier — detector circuit pack or equivalent.
Interactions
AUDIX
Automated Attendant gives the caller the option of leaving a message or 
waiting in queue for an attendant. Refer to “Message Collection” in 
Chapter 5 of the DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Call 
Vectoring/EAS Guide
.
Authorization Codes
If authorization codes are enabled, and a
 
route-to command in a prompting 
vector accesses AAR or ARS, if the VDN’s FRL does not have the 
permission to use the chosen routing preference, then the system does not 
prompt for an authorization code and the route-to command fails.
