GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
The Message On Demand (MOD) feature allows a Mobile or Fixed Telephone
service provider to complete calls to subscribers whose telephone service does
not include features such as voice messaging.
The MOD feature allows the answering of calls placed to mobile or fixed
network units which are busy or do not answer.
The primary focus of the MOD feature is the same for Mobile (Cellular) and
Fixed Networks, but there are differences in application requirements that are
detailed in this manual.
For the purposes of this manual, the caller is defined as the person that placed a
call and the subscriber is defined as the person receiving the message.
This manual describes the various aspects of the Message On Demand feature
including system interface, subscriber interface, service options, feature
administration, and data reporting.

FEATURE DESCRIPTION
The original called number is the most important in this application as it is the
number that will be used to attempt to deliver the message.
PN 9110.00780 7
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
If the original called number is not available in the cellular application, and the
system wide flag which allows a cellular customer to enter a called number
(vmb_allow_cn) is not set, then the MVP will prompt the caller.
If the MVP system receives a call to a valid cellular mailbox, the MVP collects the
ANI/CLI and original called number. The caller will be prompted with an initial
greeting.
The system administrator will have a number of call handling options that can
be set by the Class of Service (COS) service fields. For more information about
COS, see Chapter 3.
After the caller has recorded his or her name, he or she will have the option of
leaving a call back number. If the call back option is available then ANI/CLI
number may be available for use.
If the caller enters a # or makes no DTMF entry, the system will assume the
ANI/CLI was correct and proceed to the next step.
If the caller enters a * to erase the call back number or simply begins entering a
new call back number, the system will wait for the number to be entered and
provide the confirmation prompt with the new number as described above.
If the ANI/CLI is not available from the network or is not enabled for this
account and the call back option is enabled, the caller is simply prompted to
enter a call back number. After entry the caller is allowed to confirm the number
as described above.
If the caller simply disconnects the phone, a message will be delivered to the
mobile subscriber using the default parameters for the MODs Class Of Service
(COS).
If the caller presses the # key, the system will present the following options:
If the caller presses 1, the message will be marked as urgent and the interval
determined by the COS for delivering the message will be divided in half.
PN 9110.00780 9
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
If the caller enters a 2, the system will prompt the caller to specify a date and time
to send the message using the method available in the special delivery options
menus. If the caller enters a # key while being prompted to enter the date, the
date is skipped and the caller will be prompted to enter the time. If the caller
enters a # key while being prompted for the time, the current days time will be
assumed and the time will be skipped. If the date is skipped but the time is
entered, the message will be delivered on the next occurrence of that time.
If the caller remains on the phone for a command time-out the help prompts will
be played again. If the caller remains on the phone for two passes through the
help menu the caller will be prompted with Thank you, we will attempt to
deliver your message and the message will be sent.
For outdialing using the SS7 network, the redirection counter is set to 2,
eliminating the wrap around condition which would route the MVP outdial
back to the MVP.
A SMDR record will be generated indicating that a message was left for this
subscriber. For more information on MOD SMDR records, see Chapter 4.
In determining the delivery time for a message, the MVP system will take into
consideration whether: (1) the caller defined a delivery time or (2) the original
call to record the message was presented to the system by a busy or no answer
condition. If the call was a result of a no answer condition, the transaction will
be delayed by the value in the COS (Retry Interval) which is defined in 5 minute
increments. If the message was a result of a busy condition, the message will
initially be tried within one minute.
The MVP system will then proceed to place a call to the original called number
that was recorded using the external delivery group number specified by the
CMD/MOD account. If a busy or no answer condition is encountered, the
transaction will be retried at a later time using the number of tries defined in the
COS external delivery number of tries field.
After the subscriber enters a 1 and listens to the message, enters a #, or holds the
line until system time-out, a set of options will be presented.
Note Use of the prompt stating "for a charge of <xx> cents" is configurable
using a system flag. This flag may be enabled or disabled at the
discretion of the service provider. For more information, see Chapter 3.
If the subscriber enters a 2, the MVP system will place a call to the number
specified as the call back (either entered by the caller or the ANI).
If a callback number is not present, the system will prompt the caller with
"Please enter the telephone number you wish to call."
If the call can be completed, the subscriber is connected to the caller and a SMDR
record will be issued to track this activity.
PN 9110.00780 11
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
If the subscriber enters a 2, the MVP system will place a call to the number
specified as the call back (either entered by the caller or the ANI).
If a callback number is not present, the system will prompt the caller with
"Please enter the telephone number you wish to call."
If the subscriber enters a 4 the call will be disconnected and a record stored with
the SMDR. In this case the delivery transaction will be deleted and never retried.
If the subscriber fails to take any action, the MVP system will disconnect the call
and retry the delivery transaction at a later time based upon the retry interval in
the MODs COS.
If the subscriber simply hangs up, a SMDR record will be generated and the
delivery will be retried.
The Fixed Network application enables the MVP to utilize multiple languages
and to record the initial greeting BI-lingual. This capability is acessed by loading
a file called /syspar/lang_map. For more information, see Chapter 3.
When the caller holds the line or presses a DTMF 1, the MVP system will prompt
the caller to select a language to use to proceed with the call.
If the caller specifies a language, the rest of the application will be presented in
the language of their choice.
PN 9110.00780 13
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
If the original called number was not received from the network, the system will
prompt the caller to enter the number to which the message is to be delivered.
If after 3 time-outs the caller does not enter a telephone number, the system will
respond with Thank you for calling. Good-bye and hang-up the line.
The system administrator will have a number of call handling options that can
be set by the COS service fields. For more information, see Chapter 3.
After the caller has recorded his or her name, he or she will have the option of
leaving a call back number. If the call back option is available then the ANI/CLI
number may be available for use.
If the caller enters a # or makes no entry, the system will assume the ANI/CLI
was correct and proceed to the next step. If the caller enters a * to erase the call
back number or simply begins entering a new call back number, the system will
wait for the number to be entered and provide the confirmation prompt with the
new number as described above.
If the use ANI as call back option is not set or no ANI/CLI exists, the caller will
be prompted Please enter your call back number. Press # when you are
finished. If a * is entered the number will be erased and the caller will again be
prompted to enter a call back number.
After the callers name and/or callback number is recorded, the caller will be
asked to identify the person to receive the message.
After the names have been recorded the caller will be prompted to leave a
message.
If the call is disconnected, the message will be delivered using the default
parameters of the MOD mailbox and COS. If the caller presses the # key, he or
she will be presented the options listed below.
If the caller enters a 1, the message will be marked as urgent, the interval
determined by the COS for delivering the message will be divided in half.
If the caller enters a 2 the system will prompt the caller to specify a date and time
to send the message using the method available in the special delivery options
menus. If the caller enters a # key while being prompted to enter the date then
the date is skipped and the caller will be prompted to enter the time. If the caller
enters a # key while being prompted for the time, the current days time will be
assumed and the time will be skipped. If the date is skipped but the time is
entered, the message will be delivered on the next occurrence of that time.
PN 9110.00780 15
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
If the caller disconnects the call by hanging up or presses a #, the caller will be
prompted with Thank you, we will attempt to deliver your message. A
delivery transaction will be generated and the message will be sent.
A SMDR record will be generated indicating that a message was left for this
subscriber.
In determining the delivery time for a message, the MVP system will take into
consideration whether: (1) the caller defined a delivery time or (2) the original
call to record the message was presented to the system by a busy or no answer
condition. If the call was a result of a no answer condition the transaction will be
delayed by the value in the COS (Retry interval) which is defined in 5 minute
increments. If the message was a result of busy then the message will be initially
tried within one minute.
The MVP system will then proceed to place a call to the original called number,
or the number entered by the caller that was recorded with the message, using
the external delivery group number specified by the MOD account. If a busy or
no answer condition is encountered the transaction will be retried using the
number of tries defined in the COS external delivery number of tries field.
If the subscriber disconnects before the message begins, the call will be
considered unsuccessful and will be retried at a later time.
If the caller enters a 1 the message is played to the subscriber in its entirety.
After the message plays, the call back number will be played and the subscriber
will have the following options:
If the subscriber enters a 2 the MVP system will place a call to the number
specified as the call back (either entered by the caller or the ANI). If a call back
number is not present, the subscriber will be prompted to Please enter the
telephone number you wish to call.
PN 9110.00780 17
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
If the call can be completed the subscriber is connected to the caller and a SMDR
record will be issued to track this activity. If the call can not be completed at this
time, the subscriber has the option of either disconnecting the call or remaining
on the line for more options. The options will be the same as specified above.
If the subscriber enters a 4, the call will be disconnected and a record stored with
the SMDR, but in this case the delivery transaction will be deleted and never
retried.
If the subscriber does not enter a command after one time interval the MVP
system will assume the subscriber has a rotary dial phone and the message will
be played as if a 1 was entered.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This service will be activated for a mobile subscriber by enabling call forward
busy/no answer to a MOD number that is routed to the MVP system in the
mobile network itself. If a subscriber does not wish to have the service activated,
the cellular provider should turn off forwarding to the MOD number.
When this service is activated, the cellular provider would call forward all
subscribers to a single number in the MVP system. When received by the MVP,
this number would determine that the CMD/MOD application needs to be
executed.
For the most complete operation in the mobile network, SS7 should be used as
the signaling protocol between the MSC and the MVP. Another possibility
would be to use MFR2 or a special variant of SMDI, but this would not be the
preferred interconnect.
Two numbers are very important in this application, the ANI/CLI (number of
the caller) and the original called number (the number of the person being
called). The ANI/CLI will be used to provide a one touch auto callback feature.
The original called number is the most important in this application as it is the
number that will be used to try and deliver the message. Both of these numbers
are commonly available in the Mobile SS7 environment.
PN 9110.00780 19
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Because of the variants in the network used to provide the interconnect with the
MVP and the level of users (both caller and subscriber), a different set of
requirements is needed for the Fixed Network application. Also the primary
demand for this type of application is greater in countries where the telephone
infrastructure varies and multi-lingual clientele is more the standard than the
exception.
The signaling requirements for the fixed network application are not as stringent
as in the cellular application. Either SS7, MFR2, DTMF, or SMDI may be used. It
is assumed that the ANI/CLI and the original called number will not be
available in the Fixed Network environment. If they are available, the Cellular
application can be used to provide the CMD/MOD service.
A new MVP mailbox type (Type 32) is added for CMD fixed network services.
The COS fields will have to be modified to reflect the Cellular Network type or
the Fixed Network type.
The COS field will also require modifications to allow for options available with
the MOD feature.
COS services field Bit 2 (0x2) - Option to allow a call back number to be collected
from the caller.
COS services field Bit 10 (0x200) - Option to allow the spoken name to be
collected or not collected.
COS services field Bit 11 (0x400) - Option to allow ANI/CLI to be used as the call
back number. This option will always require confirmation.
The entries in these menus will be feature restrictable through the files custfeat.r,
em3feat.r, em4feat.r.
Help files are available these menus. They are help_pmt.77, help_pmt.78, and
help_pmt.80.
vmb_crg_prmt - enabled with patchgen to activate the playing of the prompt 1230
which tells the subscriber the service will cost money.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
PN 9110.00780 23
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Based on how many entries are in this file, the application will decide how many
different languages are available. If no entries are in this file, the language will
default to the language of the MOD mailbox.
Separate language data will have to be added to the MVP system prealloc file and
the appropriate quert files will have to be loaded.
While prompting the caller to enter a language, the MVP will append the prompt
press (key entry) to the prompt numbers in the cprmt and sprmt fields. If no
prompt value is present in either the cprmt or sprmt fields, the entry will be
disabled for that selection.

A loadable has been added to load this file into memory in the MVP. The name
of this loadable is /relo/ld_lang.r.

STATION MESSAGE DETAIL RECORDS
(SMDR)
Station Message Detail Records (SMDR) provide a way to monitor MVP activity
for billing and tracking for troubleshooting purposes and other uses. This
information can be routed to a serial port for a CRT, printer, or billing computer.
Using the SMDR records, billing capabilities will exist for calls made to, and calls
returned by, the subscriber. For this feature the term "subscriber" refers to the
recipient of a message.
