Programming Examples
System Paging of a User for Special Callers
This example illustrates inter-mixing tokens with Amanda’s standard call processing.
Application
This application creates a special mailbox (for example, 611) for family, friends, or special
customers. When callers access this mailbox, Amanda pages you over the telephone
paging system in your office. After letting you know that you have an important call,
Amanda transfers that call to your extension through a “backdoor” even if your regular
extension mailbox (for example, 111) might have its Do Not Disturb setting ON. The steps
required to implement this feature might be summarized as follows:
1. Put the caller on hold.
2. Access the telephone switching system paging feature.
3. Say something such as “There is an important call for David.”
4. Transfer the call to a “backdoor” mailbox that rings the extension.
Translating to Amanda’s Tokens
This could be translated into Amanda tokens as follows:
1. Dial the code for putting the caller on Transfer Hold (which is normal processing if
the first character is
not an @ sign).
2. Dial the telephone switching system paging access code, for example, 33* (if that is
your system’s code for a system page.)
3. Play a greeting that you have already recorded such as “There is an important call for
David” using the P() token.
4. Dial the code for retrieving the caller from Transfer Hold and then transfer the caller
to a “backdoor” mailbox that rings the extension. For example, to retrieve the caller
you use %X and to access the “backdoor” mailbox use the G() token.
