46.7. Redirecting

46.7.1. What is redirecting

The purpose of the Redirecting number information element is to identify to the diverted-to user the number from which diversion was invoked.

In normal calls there are CALLED NUMBER and CALLING NUMBER information elements, where the CALLING NUMBER contains the number of the user that is originating the call.

When the user is receiving a call and wants to redirect the call to another number he has to make a second call and internally connect the two calls. The second call can be done in two ways:

  • Normal call

    CALLING NUMBER contains the number of the user which is making the second call, i.e. the redirecting user.

  • Redirecting call

    CALLING NUMBER contains the number of ORIGINAL CALLER and add a REDIRECTING NUMBER that contains the number of the redirecting user.

The REDIRECTING NUMBER can be inserted by Abilis when performing the call forwards, the unconditional call transfers, and the third part transfers (3pTransfer), but it can also be received from a peer over a ISDN, CLUS, VO, SIP, and may be IAX interfaces.

Both situations has to be handled appropriately, with a great attention to the calling number VALIDATION which is present in all interfaces (NUM/NUMx for CLUS, NET-NUM for CTIVO, SIP/IAX-CG-NUM and CTISIP/CTIIAX table, NUM for ISDN).

46.7.2. Redirecting call generated by Abilis

For all interfaces are added the corresponding parameters:

  • CTIP-CF-CGO:[*, USER]

  • CLUS-CF-CGO:[*, USER]

  • VO-CF-CGO:[*, USER]

  • SIP-CF-CGO:[*, USER]

  • IAX-CF-CGO:[*, USER]

    • USER: the call not include the RG element, the call becomes a Normal call.

    • *: the call include the RG (REDIRECTING NUMBER ) element, even if empty.

      • The CALLING NUMBER contain the original calling number.

      • The REDIRECTING NUMBER contain the number assigned to the user.

        [Note]Note

        If assigned number results empty (e.g. NUM:# or NUM:r*, etc), the REDIRECTING NUMBER is present but empty.

46.7.3. Redirecting call received by Abilis

To Enable/Disable support for incoming REDIRECTING NUMBER for CLUS, SIP, IAX is needed to configure the RG-IN:[DISABLE, ENABLE] parameter:

  • DISABLE:

    • For CLUS:

      • If NUM: not equal to "*" it is verified according to NUMx and NUM parameters, rewritten with NUM-IN-REWRITE then passed to CTIR.

      • If NUM:* it is passed unnmodified and NUM-IN-REWRITE ignored.

    • For SIP: The incoming CALLING NUMBER is verified according to SIP-CG-NUM parameter then passed to CTIR.

    • For IAX: The incoming CALLING NUMBER is verified according to IAX-CG-NUM parameter then passed to CTIR.

  • ENABLE

    • Incoming call WITHOUT REDIRECTING NUMBER

      • Same behaviour as for DISABLE.

    • Incoming call WITH REDIRECTING NUMBER:

      • For CLUS:

        • The incoming CALLING NUMBER is passed unmodified to CTIR.

        • If NUM: not equal to "*" the REDIRECTING NUMBER is verified according to NUMx and NUM parameters, rewritten with NUM-IN-REWRITE then passed to CTIR.

      • For SIP:

        • The incoming CALLING NUMBER is passed unmodified to CTIR.

        • The incoming REDIRECTING NUMBER is verified according to SIP-CG-NUM then passed to CTIR.

      • For IAX:

        • The incoming CALLING NUMBER is passed unmodified to CTIR.

        • The incoming REDIRECTING NUMBER is verified according to IAX-CG-NUM then passed to CTIR.

For ISDN, thanks to the fact that in practice NUM has been always left configured as *, the support of RG will not be disabled, therefore we do not need RG-IN parameter as in CLUSTER/SIP/IAX.

  • ISDN NT:

    • Incoming call WITHOUT REDIRECTING NUMBER

      • The incoming CALLING NUMBER is verified against NUM.

    • Incoming call WITH REDIRECTING NUMBER

      • The incoming CALLING NUMBER is passed unmodified to CTIR.

      • If NUM: not equal to "*" the REDIRECTING NUMBER is verified according to NUM parameter then passed to CTIR.

      • If NUM:* the REDIRECTING NUMBER is passed unmodified to CTIR.

  • ISDN TE:

    • Incoming CALLING NUMBER and REDIRECTING NUMBER are passed unmodified to CTIR.

46.7.4. RGI and RGO parameters

These two parameters have been introduced in the CTIR to manipulate the REDIRECTING NUMBER. The default for RGI and RGO is *.

A call originated by a call transfer may be identified because RG field isn't empty, while a normal call has RG field empty. This is used to create special routings which are effective only for call transfers.

Use the following values to intercept normal calls:

RGI:##Missing information element
RGI:#Missing or Empty information element

Set the RGI parameter to a specific value to intercept only calls originated by call transfers.

Setting RGI:*, the rule intercepts every kind of call (transferred or not). The following table shows the range of RGI values:

Meaning of special values used in ISDN CDI/CGI/SGI/SDI/RGI fields:
-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------
 Symbol    | Meaning
-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------
 *         | Don't care.
 #         | Missing or Empty information element
 ##        | Missing information element
 $         | Empty or Non-empty information element
 ?*        | Non-empty information element

Meaning of special values used in ISDN CDO/CGO/SGO/SDO/RGO fields:
-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------
 Symbol    | Meaning
-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------
 *         | Pass correspondent input field untouched.
 #         | Set an empty information element. An empty information element in

The following are the log and CTI connection shown during a normal call from 901 to 902. Please note that there RGO field is empty.
