Setting Vg Not To Answer New Calls

Recommended Posts

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to stop VG answering new calls, prior to a shutdown?

 

I want all current calls to end as designed, but no new calls to be taken. Is there a way to do this?

 

One way I have considered is to load a "nocalls" script using the designer into VG, so that when VG starts running this script on each call, nothing happens. I just don't know what to put in the script !?!

 

I don't want to run a VBS script, like suggested previously, examining $RVs if I can help it. I wondered about some form of "run before answering" script, which does nothing, (ie: no "play" module) so the call doesn't answer. Ideally, I want something that will doesn't require a lot of manual input and is easy to do/undo as needed.

 

I also wondered about setting the number of rings on each line to some silly high number (99?) so that the dialogic card takes ages to answer, but I can't set them all at once, and could be very tedious!

 

Please advise... thx.

The easiest way is to set the script to "Start the script without answering call" - and in the first module do a test for a presence of some file or setting on DB or whatever to see if you may want to abandon answering the call - and if you do then just go to a Hangup module - the script will then finish and the call will never be answered.
