Priority (PRIO)

1 Denition
With the Priority (PRIO) feature a subscriber can prioritize call setup for his or her directory number. If all outgoing trunks are busy, the path selection in the switching network is automatically repeated at defined intervals within a specific period.

2 Mode of operation
If a call setup by a subscriber with the Priority (PRIO) feature encounters a busy trunk group, the search for a free line or a free channel in the outgoing direction is automatically repeated through the switching network. The call attempts are repeated at fixed intervals for a predefined period, taking all possible alternative paths into consideration each time. If the call cannot be set up within the predefined period, the subscriber receives the all trunks busy tone (project-specific). The feature is effective for all traffic types. In the case of connections with MFC:R2 signaling and those with signaling system no. 7 (SS7), the priority status can be passed to other exchanges. These are then also able to treat the call setups with priority.

3 Subscriber controlled input

Subscriber controlled input is not possible for this feature.

4 Call charge registration

Call charge registration is possible with: Automatic Message Accounting with Individual Call Charge Registration Pulse Metering Message Detail Recording (MDR) for GeoCENTREX Flat rate Automatic Message Accounting with Individual Call Charge Registration (AMA) and pulse metering can be combined. One or more call charge pulses can be generated for pulse metering. Charges for feature input and feature usage The charges for operator inputs, successful subscriber controlled input and feature usage are assigned to the subscriber. The following call charge registration is possible: Facility input by operator (FAIO) Facility input by subscriber (FAIS) Facility usage (FAU)
