Call Completion
When making an outbound call, the unavailability of certain resources can
prevent the call from reaching the connected state, as when the destination party is busy or doesn't answer. Unavailable
resources include trunk circuits as well as the destination party's station. The lineCompleteCall function lets the application specify how it wants to complete a call that
cannot be completed normally this is called "placing a call-completion request." The application has the
following options:
- Camp on to queue the call until the call can be completed.
- Call back requests the called station to return the call when the station returns to
idle. Answering the call-back can automatically reinitiate (redial) the
connection request.
- Intrude allows the application to barge in to the existing call.
- Message (also known as "leave word calling") allows the application to send one of a
small number of predefined messages to the destination. These messages can be
text shown on the phone's display, a voice message left for the user, and so
forth.
A call completion request can be canceled with lineUncompleteCall. Multiple call completion requests can potentially be outstanding for a given
address at any one time. To identify individual requests, the implementation
returns a completion ID. When a call completion request completes and results in
a new call, the call completion ID is available in the LINECALLINFO data structure returned by lineGetCallInfo. Canceling a call completion request in progress also uses this call
completion ID.
In versions 0x0002000 and greater, the LINECALLREASON_CAMPEDON bit allows a
service provider to indicate when a new call was camped on to an address.
