TECHNICAL MANUAL PART 8 DECEMBER 2009
8.1.3
8.1.4 Event Pointers
Different programming blocks are tied together through a mechanism called the Call Director.
The core of the Call Director is the Event Pointer. Event Pointers are essentially the conditions
that callers are routed by. They tell the system what to do with the caller or the subscriber
when a certain condition occurs. Each Call Director uses a different set of Event Processors,
but the settings for each are the same. Below is an example of an Event Pointer.
Notice that there are 5 columns to set up the Event Pointer. The first columns is the name of
the Event Pointer, which cannot be changed. The second column is the Action column. This
setting defines the type of action that will be used. The available Action types are defined
below.
This means the Event Pointer will send the caller to another block
Translate the Event Pointer to another Event Pointer. This is used to have 2 Event
Pointers perform the same action without the need to program two separate
pointers.
Password protect the Event. For example, a Menu might offer an unspoken
single digit option to log directly into a salesperson's mailbox. The password
protection will prompt anyone who presses that digit to enter a password. If the
correct password is not given, the user will be blocked from accessing the
mailbox.
This is an advanced option generally reserved for very long lists of menu
options. It tells the system to open a file and read the Event Pointer definitions
from the file instead of the Call Director.
This option is only used in Menu blocks. It is primarily used to allow wildcard
entries in a menu. It will search through Extension or Mailbox blocks to find a
block whose number matches the Event Pointer number.
The Type column is used to select a block type. It references block types by a 3 character
abbreviation as shown below.
