Vector step to check the number that was called to get to it. 1

[tweege]

am getting ready to have to forward several numbers to new off-site numbers. all numbers are currently vdns routing to a single vector. is there a way to check what number was called and route it accordingly? not the ani of the call coming in, but the number that was called. can do it with individual vectors, but would like to do it in one if possible,

thanks, tim

You should be able to pass the VDN number in as a variable

I think you can just have a number as a variable like V1 and 'route to V1'. Like your VDN 7777 for sales might afterhours route to 555-555-2222 and VDN 8888 for support afterhours to 555-555-3333, V1 for 7777 = 555-555-2222 and V1 for 8888=555-555-3333

guess i am not understanding what you guys are telling me.

i have a dozen vdns i want to point to one vector. based on which vdn was called,i want to send the call to a diff remote number. i know i can do a SET command to place data in a variable, but where does it get the phone number to put in the variable?

 

[kyle555]

not a set command. VDN variable. Later pages of the VDN you have V1 thru V9 you can set. The vector would just "route to V1" and it would be different depending on what the VDN had for V1

 

[tweege]

got it. first i would have to assign a variable(ch var)to collect the vdn. then in the vector, route based on what number matched the variable. thanks!

NO!

add vdn next                                                    Page   3 of   3

                    V6
                    V7
                    V8
                    V9



change vector 555                                               Page   1 of   6
                                  CALL VECTOR

ok, not sure how you are getting the vdn number that is called.

here is what i did:
assigned variable F as 'vdn','active'

in the vector:
goto step x if F = 1234
goto step y if F = 2345
etc, etc, etc
step x would be: route-to number 91234567
step y would be: route-to number 92345678

 

[kyle555]

You can just make V1=the vdn that was called and v2=the number you want to route to.

You don't need CM variables and a bunch of if statements.

Make 100 VDNs with V1 = 555-555-0001-0100. Make them point to vector 1, make vector 1 route to V1. You're done!

 

[tweege]

lightbulb, gotcha! each vdn will pass its own variable to the vector!

 

[kyle555]

ding ding ding.

If you are send each to it own external number, just build you vector to route to V1 and have the number you are routing to as the V1 in each VDN. You will need to add 9 or what ever you are using to get an outside line.
