The “.CUS” Files
The file that is called out in the command line must be located in the voice file system and
have a valid name. In addition, a blank space must be inserted between the keyword ETE
and the <filename. The examples below illustrate the correct format:
Example 1
AllowPrompt Both ETE <my_ete
Example 2
AllowPrompt Tone ETE <say_ete
Example (1) tells the system to play the voice file “my_ete” as the end-to-end prompt. In
Example (2), the system will play tone-only prompts except for the end-to-end prompt
which is the voice file “say_ete”. Note that even when the ETE keyword is used this way,
it continues to function as an enable for the end-to-end prompt in trunks.cus.
You may want to use a general purpose prompt or a subscriber's custom prompt as the end-
to-end prompt. In this case, copy the desired voice prompt file to another name using the
vget and vput commands.
AlphaPriority
The priority of a page determines how quickly it advances to the front of the queue to be
transmitted. Normally, the priority assigned to a page comes from the priority value set in
the subscriber record for the pager being called. The subscriber priority setting can be
overridden by a priority assigned to the trunk that the call was received on. The trunk
priority is set in the “trunks.cus” file with the Priority command (see Priority on page 290
for an explanation of trunk priority settings). In order for a trunk Priority override to take
effect on a TAP call the AlphaPriority setting must be changed from the default.
AphlaPriority is useful to promote the priority of pages input from high priority sources
like a hospital operator or a dispatch center. Alternatively, AlphaPriority may be used to
downgrade the priority of pages from a low priority source.
The AlphaPriority command allows the priority of a page to be determined by considering
both the page entry method (modem or RS-232 versus DTMF overdial) as well as the
trunk on which the page request was received. The paging terminal then assigns a priority
to the page based on all of these factors. The ultimate outcome of using the AlphaPriority
command is affected by any priority override assigned to the trunk in “trunks.cus”.
For the purposes of the AlphaPriority command, the 2000 paging terminal has three
sources of page input. They are: DTMF over-dial, POTS phone lines or DID numbers that
are configured to return modem tone (for receiving TAP or manual mode pages), and
serial lines coming into a port on the multiport card (for receiving TAP or manual mode
pages.
