Calling Party Category

Calling Party Category

The CallingPartyCategory selects an exit according to the value of the CallingPartyCategory supplied when the call control was triggered by the telephone switch.

The CallingPartyCategory operation must have at least one exit. The CallingPartyCategory operation is only useful when it has more than one exit, although this is not enforced by the operation definition.

Config Parameters

The CallingPartyCategory operation config attributes are as follows.

Config Rules

A CallingPartyCategory operation rules Object is as follows.

Note that if one or more types match, the following priority order will apply: international, landline, mobile, payphone, Default.

If no prefix matches, then the first exit (index zero) will be followed for Default processing.

Example Operation

Here is an example CallingPartyCategory operation in JSON representation.

    {
        "id": 5,
        "type": "CallingPartyCategory",
        "base_node": 1,
        "config": {
            "rules": [
                { "type": "payphone", "exit_idx": 1 },
            ]
        },
        "exits": [ 4, 17 ]
    }

In this example, calls from a payphone caller will proceed down exit 1 to operation ID 17, while all other calls will down exit index 0 to operation ID 4.

Exits

The first exit is always the “Default” exit.
