  • Page 103: Chapter 5 - Token Programming

    Token Programming Strata CIX40 Voice Processing System’s Token Programming Language consists of commands, or tokens, that instruct voice processing what actions to perform. The tokens that are generally used are simple and perform standard expected actions such as dialing an extension.

  • Page 104: Singular Tokens

    Token Programming Singular Tokens Singular Tokens Singular Tokens are single character commands that perform a single action that cannot be modified. For example, the token performs the action of playing DTMF 1. Table 5-1 Singular Tokens Token Syntax Description Suppress normal process—prevents voice processing from normally processing an Extension or Method field.
  • Page 105 Token Programming Singular Tokens Table 5-1 Singular Tokens (continued) Token Syntax Description Return to transferring User ID if Extension field number busy—if entered after a number in the Extension field, performs a partially supervised transfer. If ringing is returned, the system hangs up for a blind transfer. If busy is returned, the voice processing retrieves the call to be processed by the transferring User ID.

    Token Programming Replaced or Variable Tokens Replaced or Variable Tokens Replaced or Variable Tokens are specified with a preceding sign and cause voice processing to replace the token given with the value associated with the token. For example, The token would be replaced with the current number of messages for the current User ID being accessed.

  • Page 109: Defined Tokens

    Token Programming Defined Tokens Defined Tokens Defined Tokens are expressed with left and right parentheses surrounding one or more definitions that determine how the token should work. For example, the Goto token only G( ) takes one definition. Voice processing immediately “goes to” the User ID specified for processing.
