STATION BLOCK
Description The Station Block contains all the information needed to call or
transfer a caller to a particular phone number. The bulk of the Station Block
defines the various call progress signals. It also contains any additional dial
strings needed to reach a particular station (like dialling '9' to access a trunk).
One of the handiest features of the Station Block is the Call Progress Training
facility. This feature allows you to provide phone numbers and have SVM call
them to learn the ringback and busy signals automatically. The SVM then
adjusts the appropriate parameter settings in the Station Block according to
the data collected by calling the provided numbers.
Most blocks that reference a telephone number, such as Extension Blocks, can,
when necessary, also reference a Station Block allowing you to specify explicitly
what kind of station a particular phone number represents.
This is particularly useful for unique stations that must be handled in a special
way. However, this usually isn't necessary. Station Blocks contain a set of
matching strings which allow the SVM to select an appropriate Station Block
based on the kind of number being dialled (all seven-digit numbers, four-digit
numbers beginning with '3', '0', long distance numbers, etc.). The SVM requir-
es at least one Station Block to make supervised calls and you can create
as many Station Blocks as desired.
