Call Request Transfer from Group of Operators

Call to group of operators

When a Call Request or Ringing Group call is sent to a group of operators, it is sometimes required to activate Call Request Transfer to signal that the Operator Position is no longer manned.
This can be a manual control by the operator, or it could be an automatic control from a PSIM application, resulting in the Operator position no longer receiving the Call Request or Ringing Group Call.
However, all remaining operators should still receive the calls and the escalation should not take place until the last operator has activated the Call Request Transfer.
This application provides an example of how to achieve this.

Operation

A Dummy Subscriber is added as a permanent member of the group, and all automatic escalations are performed at this dummy station
Operators will press DAK 1, or the PSIM will command DAK 1 to place their location into Transfer. In doing this, they will remove their directory number from the group.
When the last operator has placed their location into Transfer, the Dummy Subscriber will activate Call Request transfer.
If any one operator presses DAK 2, or the PSIM commands DAK 2 to turn off Transfer, the Dummy will deactivate the Call Request Transfer

Pre-requisites

1 Dummy Subscriber to be a permanent member of the Call Request group
All normal escalation programmed against the Dummy Subscriber
1 UDD for each Operator, related to their Physical number
UDD 553 to count the number of operators who are in/out of remote mode.
Modify the Group nummber, number of operators and call request transfer location as required in the below events
