14.3.10.2 Escape Character
The Escape Character marks the beginning of the new command. It can also be used to initiate
an action (i.e. dial a phone number).
Values for the Escape Character can be: *, #, 5, 6, 7, 9, 0 (zero) or 00 (double zero). The default
value is *.
14.3.11 Basic Dialing Changes
The Basic Dialing Changes involve changes in the channelization of the highlighted HSU
port. When using Basic Dialing, the user specifies the number of channels to use, the service
type and call type. Optionally, the user can specify a number to dial. All of the other calling
information is derived from the active call profile.
The Basic Dialing command syntax is: [escape character] [number of channels needed]
[service type] [call type] [number of dial (optional)].
A typical command would be: *06300. The first character of the command string is always
the escape character (in this case an *).
The second and third characters specify the number of 64kbps channels needed for this call.
The options are 00-31. The HSU will appropriate that amount of B channels for the duration
of this call. For the above example, 6 channels were chosen for this call.
The third required field is service type (see Table 14-15).
Table 14-15. Values for Service Type Field
For the above example, service type 3 (Switched H0) was chosen
The fourth required field is call type. The values for this field are 00 (use the current value of
call type) and 01 (transparent), a bit-in-bit-out protocol. These are the only call types
supported at this time.
