Introduction

Coverage paths in Avaya systems are an essential feature used to manage call routing based on various criteria such as station status, time of day, etc. Proper configuration ensures that calls are directed to the appropriate points within a network.

The Issue: Incorrect Coverage Path Configuration

The user is facing issues with coverage paths where calls are not being routed correctly according to their intended configuration.

  • Coverage Path 100: Covers points h17.
  • Coverage Path 101: Covers point h22.

The expectation is that if no one picks up the call in Coverage Path 100, it should be redirected to Coverage Path 101. However, this redirection does not occur as expected.

Understanding Next Path Criteria

Coverage paths have a criteria section where conditions are defined for routing calls. The "Next Path" is determined by checking the conditions in subsequent paths until a match is found or all paths are exhausted.

  • Criteria for Coverage Path 100: All inside and outside calls set to 'n'.
  • Criteria for Coverage Path 101: All inside and outside calls set to 'y'.

If no criteria meet the condition 'y', the call is not redirected.

Solution: Adjusting SAC/DND Settings

To ensure that calls are correctly routed based on the defined coverage paths, it's recommended to use the "SAC" (Service Access Code) and "DND" (Do Not Disturb) settings. Here’s how:

  1. Set SAC for Coverage Path 100:
  2. Make SAC 'n' in Coverage Path 100.

  3. Set DND for Coverage Path 101:

  4. Make DND 'y' in Coverage Path 101.

This configuration ensures that when the SAC is triggered (indicating a call should be forwarded), it checks the subsequent path, which then activates based on its DND setting.

Example Configuration

  • Coverage Path 100:
  • SAC: 'n'
  • DND: 'n'

  • Coverage Path 101:

  • SAC: 'y' (Not used in this example)
  • DND: 'y'

Conclusion

Proper configuration of coverage paths requires understanding the criteria and next path settings. Adjusting SAC and DND settings can help ensure that calls are routed correctly based on predefined conditions.

By following these steps, you should be able to effectively manage call routing in your Avaya system.
