this is unusual. has anyone of you encounter an issue where in a call is not covering to the coverage path, but when you activate the send-call/DND, it will go the coverage path?
 
did you check the coverage path? can you paste it here? it won't cover if 'active', 'busy', 'don't ans' and 'all' are set as 'n' for both calls (inside outside) and only covers if dnd/sac/goto cover is set to 'y' for either or both calls (inside outside)

here is the coverage path

COVERAGE PATH

Coverage Path Number: 243
Hunt after Coverage? n
Next Path Number: Linkage

COVERAGE CRITERIA

Station/Group Status Inside Call Outside Call
Active? n n
Busy? y y
Don't Answer? y y Number of Rings: 4

also here are the setting for the v5143:

seems there's nothing wrong with your coverage path. At what times does this happens?

does it happens when:

a) directly dialing the station;
b) routed by a vector by entering the digits of the station



"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."
-Douglas Adams
 
the station that has this coverage path has a DID number on it. am clueless on this. also, the DID is a SIP trunk so I do not know if there are configuration to check that is restricting the SIP Trunk originated calls on covering to voicemail.
 
I had a similar problem yesterday. We have a remote site with 8730 ESS Servers. Our WAN link went down for literally 2 seconds, which was long enough for the ESS to try and take control. Anyway once this lot was sorted out, coverage paths didn't work. If you created a new coverage path it worked, but existing ones didn't.

Here's the crucial bit though!!!

If you do a "ch sys cover" (see below)

The field called "Location for Covered and Forwarded Calls:" this only had a ? in the field. Now a question mark isn't an option, you either have "Called" or "Caller"

I changed this to "Called" and coverage paths seem to work.

It's a weird one, but I reckon nobody will be able to offer an explanation to this one.

that is the same as what I have on the system-parameter coverage-forwarding
 
software tables contain hex / binary representation for data

0 = no
1 = y

when a change / display on a form is used and a ? shows up, that means data corruption and what is valid for a field
being a 0 or a 1 is maybe 3 or 0xf

This is usually caused by a wild write in software (a bug)

You should make Avaya aware if this is a new load and what patches are active. It could be a known issue or one they need to be aware of to fix.

Furthermore, the issue we are having are those DID that are routing to us via SIP trunking from the carrier. If I use a DID number out of our ordinary TDM trunk, we are not seeing any issues (unanswered calls are routing to VM perfectly). So I do not know if this is an issue on the avaya or with SIP or with the SES server.

Thanks guys for helping out.

 
Sorry to confuse. The explanation was for inerguard.
