Call Management (CM) 
 
Implementing features, see also Manager E Call Management (CM)

Definition  
Call Management is a call management system. This system determines how incoming calls are handled with regard to line type and Day/Night service. Call management consists of four blocks:
Block 1: Two call allocation tables exist for calls on analog or digital (ISDN) trunks without a direct inward dialing (DID) option. One call allocation table is evaluated during day service, and the other table during night service. For each trunk, these tables contain a reference to further day and night lists. Call management goes directly to these lists when a direct inward dialing (DID) call arrives. In the default setting, DID calls that lead to an intercept are signaled at the day or night intercept position. This applies for all trunks. Intercept criteria can also be entered in these tables.
Block 2: A total of three lists exist for day service, internal calls, and night answer. These lists contain references to one of the possible call destination lists.
Block 3: The call destination lists form a seven-column table. A row of this table is also referred to as a CM element. The first four columns contain procedures. The stations and groups entered in these columns are called consecutively depending on the call forwarding-no answer (CFNA) time.
The fifth column contains an entry that determines the time until CFNA occurs.
The sixth column contains an entry indicating the night bell type and the telephone that should also be called.
The seventh column defines when the night bell entered in column six should be called (either immediately or after the first CFNA time entered in column five).
Block 4: If group numbers have been entered in the call destination lists, the last call management table handles any additional allocation. This table is provided for hunt groups (linear and cyclical) and group calls.

Dependencies/Restrictions  

 Subject  
 Dependency/Restriction  
Call Management  
CM does not treat a station as a call forwarding-no answer destination if its telephone has failed, if the user has activated do not disturb or has activated data protection and is busy, or if the user does not have trunk access (for external calls).  
Call Management  
If CM cannot find a station to which it can switch the call, it follows the intercept criteria.  
Group/hunt group  
If no stations in a group or hunt group are available, the call camps on at all telephones in the group.  
Entrance telephone  
Stations that cannot be reached via direct inward dialing, such as entrance telephones, should not be entered as stations to which calls are allocated; otherwise, an intercept will occur.  
DTMF DID  
With DTMF DID/DISA, an analog call can be released before the call forwarding-no answer process has concluded because the system uses fixed timers to prevent the trunks from freezing up.  
Night bell  
If a CM element does not have any entries in the first four columns, the system immediately calls the night bell regardless of the entry in the seventh column.  
Call Management  
If a system search is the item in a CM element, the system ignores subsequent entries in this CM element.  
Call Management  
If a call can no longer be signaled in the system (due to an AC failure, for example), the system sends a busy signal or releases the call.
Solution:  
Make an entry in the second column of the AC's call destination list.  
System search  
The system searches all stations and:  
Does not follow call forwarding  
Skips executive stations  
Routes only one call to each station  
Ignores call ringing groups  
Call diversion  
If a destination station entered in a destination number list has activated the call diversion function (*1n) for another station or a hunt group, Call Management still analyzes the destination number list of the original destination station (when the call is not answered) and NOT the destination number list of the diversion destination.  
How incoming calls for individual stations and station call groups are dealt with when voicemail is available  
The "OpenScape Office" application suite supports voicemail for station call groups. From the point of view of the CM, an individual station and a station call group have each their own call destination list. This results in the following behavior:  
 •   If an individual station is called, and it does not answer the call, or if call forwarding is activated: The CM follows the call destination list of this station. If a personal voicemail box is also entered in this call destination list, the call is routed to this personal voicemail box.
 •   If a station call group is called and the call is not answered or if call forwarding is activated: The CM follows the call destination list of the station call group. If a group voicemail box is entered in its list, the call is routed to this group voicemail box.
 •   If an individual station is called and it does not answer the call or if call forwarding is activated: The CM follows the call destination list of the station:
   -   If a station call group is entered in the call destination list, the CM of the call destination list follows this station call group.
   -   If a personal voicemail box is also entered in the station's call destination list, the call is routed to this personal voicemail box but not to the group voicemail box.
SIP workpoints  
In HiPath 3000 V7 and earlier systems, if a remote station does not answer, outgoing internal calls from an SIP workpoint via Call Management are not forwarded to the next destination on the call destination list. Forwarding is blocked in call processing, the payload data path must be negotiated dynamically, instead of just once (as implemented). However, dynamic negotiation is not possible with SIP workpoints.  
This restriction is no longer in place on HiPath 3000 V8 and later systems.
