Explanation

If a Data Server outage occurs, either of File or DB2, this parameter controls how the system responds to calls. The following options are supported:

Play technical difficulties message
All calls in progress are immediately terminated, and the system technical difficulties message will be played for all new incoming calls.
Busy-out all telephony channel
All calls in progress are immediately terminated, and all telephony channels are disabled. Once the data servers are again available the telephony channels in service when the outage occurred will be restored to service
Do not answer calls
Incoming callers will continue hearing ringing tone. Voice Response will not answer any calls during the outage
