The Third Party Make Call capability is used by the adjunct to request the ECS to

A Switch-Classified call is the only call type used primarily by OCM applications

based on voice energy or the returned SIT or AMD tones from the call. All other
calls are dropped by the ECS and the classification reported to the adjunct (via

The originator of a Switch-Classified call must be a valid on-ECS extension
number associated with a split, hunt group, announcement, or VDN. The
originator cannot be a station extension. [However, in an EAS environment, a
VDN extension must be the originator for a predictive dialing application. See the

The destination can be either a valid station extension [except Distributed
Communications System (DCS) or Uniform Dial Plan (UDP) extension], or an
off-ECS number. ISDN-PRI trunk types are the preferred facilities for these
outbound calls. It is recommended that trunks with answer supervision be used for
Switch-Classified outbound calls. Answer supervision from the network over the
trunk facility provides an accurate and timely indication when the far end answers.
Otherwise the ECS relies on the call classifier to do the call classification.

When a Switch-Classified call is launched over an ISDN/PRI trunk, such an
outgoing trunk must connect to the network as the “user” side of the PRI interface.
