Check Backup

Recommendation: When using check-backup commands to queue a call to
backup splits, ensure that an adequate amount of time has elasped before
checking the backup splits again.

NOTE:

With the introduction of the ‘Expected Time Wait Time’ feature in Generic 3
Version 4, the style of programming used in this example is no longer
relevant. The best approach is to use the ‘Expected Time Wait’ feature to
locate the most appropriate split for the call and queue it there.

The example in Figure M-7 checks backup splits continuously as long as the call
is in queue.

Figure M-7.

Example Vector

The example in Figure M-8 adds a delay of 10 seconds to ensure that some time
has elasped before checking the backup splits again.
