Sample ISN Call Flows
Sample ISN Call Flows
ISN call flow scenarios can differ between deployment models. The sections that follow provide details 
regarding these differences.
ISN Queue and Transfer
This section outlines the following ISN call flow scenarios for the ISN Queue and Transfer deployment 
model.
Call Arrival, prompt and collect
IP Transfer
Call Queuing
IP Takeback and Transfer
Local Transfer (to IPCC)
Outpulse Transfer

Transfer Types
Type of Transfer
Description
Notes
TDM Network Transfer 
(traditional take back and 
transfer)
Executes a PSTN transfer. The NAM/ICM sends a 
“transfer” command through the network NIC instead 
of issuing a label to the ISN. 
This method does not directly involve the ISN since the 
transfer messages are sent through the NIC to the 
PSTN.)
Valid for ISN deployed as an Intelligent 
Peripheral IVR. 
The call must have been pre-routed by 
the NAM/ICM, so it can store the 
network call ID and use it to send the 
transfer command to the NIC.
IP Transfer (call delivery 
within the VoIP network)
Executes a transfer within the VoIP network, with the 
option of first providing IVR treatment to the caller. 
The ISN uses VoIP to switch the incoming call to an 
IP-based destination, where the destination may be the 
actual agent (on an IP Phone) or a Gateway that passes 
the call to the agent on a traditional telephone (usually 
behind an ACD/PBX).
A Gatekeeper is required for this type of transfer to 
resolve the NAM/ICM routing label into an IP address 
for the ISN to communicate with to route the call. 
Valid for ISN deployed as a Service 
Node IVR.
The call must be translation routed to a 
peripheral target (agent on TDM ACD) 
or be sent to a device target (IPCC 
agent) in order for the agent to request a 
subsequent transfer.
Outpulse Transfer
Executes a PSTN transfer from within the VoIP 
network. The ISN sends DTMF signals to a carrier 
network through the ingress Gateway, then the carrier 
network disconnects the call from the Gateway—and 
the ISN—and delivers it to the agent.
Valid for ISN deployed as a Service 
Node IVR.
IPCC Local Transfer
Executes a transfer within the VoIP network using the 
Cisco Call Manager.
Valid for ISN deployed as a Service 
Node IVR.
The CCM is responsible for performing 
the transfer.
