LINECALLSTATE_ Constants

The LINECALLSTATE_ bit-flag constants describe the call states a call can be in.

LINECALLSTATE_IDLE

The call is idle no call exists.

LINECALLSTATE_OFFERING

The call is being offered to the station, signaling the arrival of a new call. In some environments, a call in the offering state does not automatically alert the user because alerting is done by the switch instructing the line to ring. It does not affect any call states.

LINECALLSTATE_ACCEPTED

The call was offering and has been accepted. This indicates to other (monitoring) applications that the current owner application has claimed responsibility for answering the call. In ISDN, this also initiates alerting to both parties.

LINECALLSTATE_DIALTONE

The call is receiving a dial tone from the switch, which means that the switch is ready to receive a dialed number.

LINECALLSTATE_DIALING

Destination address information (a phone number) is being sent to the switch over the call. Note that lineGenerateDigitsEXYOHI does not place the line into the dialing state.

LINECALLSTATE_RINGBACK

The call is receiving ringback from the called address. Ringback indicates that the other station has been reached and is being alerted.

LINECALLSTATE_BUSY

The call is receiving a busy tone. A busy tone indicates that the call cannot be completed either a circuit (trunk) or the remote party's station are in use.

LINECALLSTATE_SPECIALINFO

Special information is sent by the network. Special information is typically sent when the destination cannot be reached.

LINECALLSTATE_CONNECTED

The call has been established and the connection is made. Information is able to flow over the call between the originating address and the destination address.

LINECALLSTATE_PROCEEDING

Dialing has completed and the call is proceeding through the switch or telephone network.

LINECALLSTATE_ONHOLD

The call is on hold by the switch.

LINECALLSTATE_CONFERENCED

The call is currently a member of a multi-party conference call.

LINECALLSTATE_ONHOLDPENDCONF

The call is currently on hold while it is being added to a conference.

LINECALLSTATE_ONHOLDPENDTRANSFER

The call is currently on hold awaiting transfer to another number.

LINECALLSTATE_DISCONNECTED

The remote party has disconnected from the call.

LINECALLSTATE_UNKNOWN

The state of the call is not known. This may be due to limitations of the call-progress detection implementation.

The high-order 8 bits can define a device-specific substate of any of the predefined states, provided that one of the LINECALLSTATE_ bits defined above is also set. The low-order 24 bits are reserved for predefined states.

The LINECALLSTATE_ constants are used as parameters by the LINE_CALLSTATEL6OAC. message sent to the application. The message carries the new call state that the call transitioned to. These constants are also used as fields in the LINECALLSTATUS1O11BWV structure returned by the lineGetCallStatusH0NJU2 function.
