Vendor
Dear All;
Heard from a local vendor that the BC12 is not a new release instead it is a service pack for BC11. According to him, that BC11 has many service pack from 5 to current known used at site is 8. So Ericsson Malaysia calls it as BC12 instead BC11 SP12!!! Does Ericsson has a release of BC12 itself???? Can anyone explain??? Hope from to hear from other regions to!!!

The feature is generalization of the market uniq ue function SP-11.
2.17 ISDN QSIG Call Offer Feature
Call offer service makes it possible for the calling user to invoke call waiting over a network to a busy user. In R8, this service is available as UUI Call offer and ISO Call offer based on the type of signalling used in the network. ISO Call offer is only possible in a homogeneous ISDN QSIG network that support the Standardized Generic Functional Protocol.
The procedures for invoking/accepting/rejecting ISO Call offer is the same as for UUI Call offer and Call waiting.
The Call offer service can be invoked on the same path which is retained. After path has been retained, the Operator has to extend the call within a specific time in order to invoke the Call offer. The ASB 501 04 supports invocation of Call offer for calls made from an Operator with a connected party.
The Call Offer service is now supported also with the standard QSIG protocol.
In R8, this service was supported with proprietary UUI signalling and with DPNSS. Those protocols are still supported, but there is no interworking with standard QSIG.
2.17.1 ISO Call offer without Path Retention
In R11, Call offer invocation is supported without path retention for an extension in the Originating PINX. When a user in the Originating PINX calls a busy user in the Terminating PINX, the calling user can, on being informed that the called user is busy, decide whether to invoke Call offer or not.
See parameter description for ROUTE DATA
2.17.2 ISO Call offer with Path Retention
Path Retention is a generic mechanism of retaining the network connection between the Originating and Terminating PINX so that a supplementary service can be invoked without establishing a new connection. The ASB 501 04 as Originating PINX requests path retention only when the calling party is an Operator.
See operational directions for NETWORKING
2.18 ISDN QSIG Message Segmentation Feature
2.18.1 ISDN QSIG Message Segmentation
ISDN Message Segmentation is the process of splitting an ISDN Layer 3 message which is longer than the length of frames that the data link layer can support. Message segmentation shall only be used when the message length exceeds N201 (defined in Recommendation Q.921).
2.19 Remote Extension Enhancements
2.19.1 Fast Through Connect
For an outgoing call to a remote extension, changes are done in ASB 501 04 in order to get a through connection when the called party starts ringing instead of a through connection after the called party answers the call. This will avoid the delay in speech connection after the called party answers the call. As per the current implementation, through connection takes place only after the called party answers the call and the delay is around 1.5 to 4 seconds. After the introduction of this functionality, for all calls towards a remote extension, the switch will always get through connected whenever the called party starts ringing.
2.19.2 Calling Line Identity
In R8, for an outgoing call towards a remote extension, the calling line identity is displayed to the remote extension user even if the original calling party has presentation restricted. In R11, for an outgoing call towards a remote extension, the calling line identity is displayed to the remote extension user only when presentation category of the calling party is set to presentation allowed .
2.19.3 Remote Extension Traffic over DPNSS/DASS trunks
In R8, for an incoming call to ASB 501 04 over a DPNSS/DASS trunk, when the user dialled the R1 number and the extra digits together, the extra digits were ignored. In R11, for an incoming call to ASB 501 04 over a DPNSS/DASS trunk, if the user dials the R1 number along with the extra digits, the extra digits are stored and used to locate the final called party.
2.20 Recorded Voice Announcement Enhancements
In R8, similar RVA features for different countries are existing in a different way but not as a general solution.
In R11, all the different RVA features are generalized.
The new RA command set is used to initiate, change, end and print the welcome and continuous announcements for the Individuals and to define announcements for the Vocal Guidance traffic cases.
2.20.1 RVA welcome announcements for individuals
RVA is provided to the calling party before ringing the called extension. The announcement is assigned to the directory number using an I/O command and will be played whenever that directory number is called. In general, a welcome message is provided to the calling party before ringing the called party. This individual announcement can be provided to voice extensions and external lines (with voice traffic), and is similar to welcome announcement provided to PBX/ACD groups.

2.17 ISDN QSIG Call Offer Feature
Call offer service makes it possible for the calling user to invoke call waiting over a network to a busy user. In R8, this service is available as UUI Call offer and ISO Call offer based on the type of signalling used in the network. ISO Call offer is only possible in a homogeneous ISDN QSIG network that support the Standardized Generic Functional Protocol.
The procedures for invoking/accepting/rejecting ISO Call offer is the same as for UUI Call offer and Call waiting.
The Call offer service can be invoked on the same path which is retained. After path has been retained, the Operator has to extend the call within a specific time in order to invoke the Call offer. The ASB 501 04 supports invocation of Call offer for calls made from an Operator with a connected party.
The Call Offer service is now supported also with the standard QSIG protocol.
In R8, this service was supported with proprietary UUI signalling and with DPNSS. Those protocols are still supported, but there is no interworking with standard QSIG.
2.17.1 ISO Call offer without Path Retention
In R11, Call offer invocation is supported without path retention for an extension in the Originating PINX. When a user in the Originating PINX calls a busy user in the Terminating PINX, the calling user can, on being informed that the called user is busy, decide whether to invoke Call offer or not.
See parameter description for ROUTE DATA
2.17.2 ISO Call offer with Path Retention
Path Retention is a generic mechanism of retaining the network connection between the Originating and Terminating PINX so that a supplementary service can be invoked without establishing a new connection. The ASB 501 04 as Originating PINX requests path retention only when the calling party is an Operator.
See operational directions for NETWORKING
2.18 ISDN QSIG Message Segmentation Feature
2.18.1 ISDN QSIG Message Segmentation
ISDN Message Segmentation is the process of splitting an ISDN Layer 3 message which is longer than the length of frames that the data link layer can support. Message segmentation shall only be used when the message length exceeds N201 (defined in Recommendation Q.921).
2.19 Remote Extension Enhancements
2.19.1 Fast Through Connect
For an outgoing call to a remote extension, changes are done in ASB 501 04 in order to get a through connection when the called party starts ringing instead of a through connection after the called party answers the call. This will avoid the delay in speech connection after the called party answers the call. As per the current implementation, through connection takes place only after the called party answers the call and the delay is around 1.5 to 4 seconds. After the introduction of this functionality, for all calls towards a remote extension, the switch will always get through connected whenever the called party starts ringing.
2.19.2 Calling Line Identity
In R8, for an outgoing call towards a remote extension, the calling line identity is displayed to the remote extension user even if the original calling party has presentation restricted. In R11, for an outgoing call towards a remote extension, the calling line identity is displayed to the remote extension user only when presentation category of the calling party is set to presentation allowed .
2.19.3 Remote Extension Traffic over DPNSS/DASS trunks
In R8, for an incoming call to ASB 501 04 over a DPNSS/DASS trunk, when the user dialled the R1 number and the extra digits together, the extra digits were ignored. In R11, for an incoming call to ASB 501 04 over a DPNSS/DASS trunk, if the user dials the R1 number along with the extra digits, the extra digits are stored and used to locate the final called party.
2.20 Recorded Voice Announcement Enhancements
In R8, similar RVA features for different countries are existing in a different way but not as a general solution.
In R11, all the different RVA features are generalized.
The new RA command set is used to initiate, change, end and print the welcome and continuous announcements for the Individuals and to define announcements for the Vocal Guidance traffic cases.
2.20.1 RVA welcome announcements for individuals
RVA is provided to the calling party before ringing the called extension. The announcement is assigned to the directory number using an I/O command and will be played whenever that directory number is called. In general, a welcome message is provided to the calling party before ringing the called party. This individual announcement can be provided to voice extensions and external lines (with voice traffic), and is similar to welcome announcement provided to PBX/ACD groups.

A 10 kbyte buffer is used and will be transferred when 10 kbyte data are reached.
Note!
Internal in each LIM a 200 byte buffer is used to transfer CIL data when a call is ended.
To store and transfer these data to the output device over the GS speech channel(s), each LIM has a 10 kbyte buffer.
Hope this clears it up

Using an SIU output device with the facility CIL
The maximum number of output devices per system is 5.
The maximum number of active output devices per LIM is 2.
The maximum number of active ports per output device is 1.
A 10 kbyte buffer is used and will be transferred when 1 kbyte data are reached.
Using an NIU/NIU2 output device with the extra facility
CIL over Ethernet
The maximum number of output devices per system is 10.
The maximum number of output devices per LIM is 4.
The maximum number of external equipment per Ethernet port is 10.
The maximum number of active Ethernet ports per output device is 1.
The maximum number of V.24 interfaces per output device is 3.
A 10 kbyte buffer is used and will be transferred when either 1 kbyte or 10 kbyte data are reached.

Hallo Syar,
you did write this here:
"2.2.6 Allow more overflows for ACD
This feature allows to increase the maximum number of overflow attempts for an ACD group from 4 to 8."
Copying from Alex is easy. But what does it mean? Nobody can explain me. Is it a overflow-attempt from satellite-group to ANCD-group? Or is it a chain (cdini) from ACD to ACD to ACD and so on?

I guess it's when you are in a ACD que the attempts
to search through the ANCD hirarcy for a better
distribution match is done eight times instead of four.
I never really thought about this attempts works in pracsis.

Yes it's easy to copy from alex . But someone that didn't
had the documentation asked for the news , so ....
