Network Calls

Calls made between nodes in a network are not specifically distinguished as such, for example, no separate condition code exists to indicate these call types. They are handled as outgoing or incoming calls relative to that node. Call Logging should be active in each node in order to coordinate results from each node to obtain a more complete record of inter-node call cases. One difference between network calls and other incoming calls is that if a call originator’s number is signaled through the network, then this number will be recorded as the calling number.

A call made to the centralized operator in another node is also recorded as an outgoing call. The dialed number field will contain the common operator number.

A call from another node to the common operator will be recorded as an incoming call answered by a party other than the dialed party. The calling number from the other node will be displayed if this number is signaled through the network. The dialed number field will record the PBX operator access number. The answering operator number will be shown in the external line ID field. The condition code “NI” will be recorded.
