Wink Start

Explanation

Specifies the start signal that Blueworx Voice Response uses for all channels in the channel group, for both incoming and outgoing address signaling.

With wink start or delay start operation, address digits are not sent until after the start signal (off-hook/on-hook) is received by the switch. Immediate start allows address signals to be sent immediately (for example, inside 65 ms) after seizure by the switch.

If the Call Information Type parameter for the Channel Group is set to Register, only wink start or delay start operation are recommended. With immediate start, a possibility exists that address digits might be missed if a register is not attached before digits are sent. However, immediate start operation is best if Call Information Type set to values other than Register.
