Interactions
Administrable Language Displays
You cannot administer languages for ACA messages.
AUDIX
Do not set the referral-call extension to a telephone that covers to AUDIX. 
AUDIX could potentially overload with the volume of calls, because ACA 
calls remain active for up to three minutes.
Busy Verification
Once you have identified a potentially defective trunk, you can use Busy 
Verification to check it.
Centralized Attendant Services (CAS)
When CAS is activated, the referral-call destination must be on the local 
switch. The system interprets a referral destination of 0 as the local 
attendant, if one exists. The CAS attendant cannot activate or deactivate 
ACA referral calls at a branch location.
Distributed Communications System (DCS)
Referral calls may be placed across a DCS network. One switch (the 
primary) is administered to receive ACA referred calls from remote nodes 
for all switches within the network. You must administer the ACA Remote 
PBX Identification field on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen 
with the PBX ID of the node that is designated as primary.
If ACA referral calls are sent off the switch that generates the referral, the 
display and voicing information indicating the failed trunk is lost, even if 
the referral call is made over a DCS network.
Night Service
Referral calls to the attendant are not placed if the system is in Night 
Service mode.
Visually Impaired Attendant Service
If the attendant presses the Display Status button and an ACA call has not 
been answered, then the words Automatic Circuit Assurance are voiced.
If a visually-impaired attendant presses the Display Status button and the 
ACA call has been answered, then the words Automatic Circuit Assurance 
and the extension assigned to the ACA call are voiced.
