Multi-Level Precedence and 
Preemption
 Overview
The Multi-Level Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) service functionality 
allows you to place calls at varying levels of precedence; that is, you can 
specify the precedence level of each call you place.
Higher precedence calls preempt those lower in precedence when a user 
has no free call appearances. 
You can only initiate a call with a precedence level equal to or below the 
authorized precedence level that is configured for you. Any call you make 
automatically defaults to Routine, unless you choose a higher 
precedence. During call processing, this precedence level is used to 
assure preferential call completion of higher precedence calls within the 
same MLPP service domain, even if that means preempting lower 
precedence calls. Once you set the precedence level for a call, the 
precedence level for that call cannot be changed.
The precedence levels are:
Routine
Priority
Immediate
Flash
Flash-Override
WARNING
Emergency 911 calls are preempted when there are no 
available call appearances and there is an incoming 
above-Routine precedence call.
