LINEDISCONNECTMODE

These bit-flag constants describe different reasons for a remote disconnect request. A disconnect mode is available as call status to the application after the call state transitions to disconnected.

The following table shows the LINEDISCONNECTMODE constants.

Value Description
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_BADADDRESS = 0x00000080 The destination address is invalid.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_BLOCKED = 0x00020000 The call could not be connected because calls from the origination address are not being accepted at the destination address. This differs from LINEDISCONNECTMODE_REJECT in that blocking is implemented in the network (a passive reject) while a rejection is implemented in the destination equipment (an active reject). The blocking can be due to a specific exclusion of the origination address, or because the destination accepts calls from only a selected set of origination address (closed user group). TAPI versions 2.0 and later.

LINEDISCONNECTMODE_BLOCKED is appropriate as a blacklisted response. For example, a modem has received an answer, gone more than six seconds without detecting Ringback, failed to connect a defined number of times, determines that the phone number is not valid to call, and issues a 'blacklisted' response.

LINEDISCONNECTMODE_BUSY = 0x00000020 The remote user's station is busy.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_CANCELLED = 0x00080000 The call was cancelled. (TAPI versions 2.0 and later.)
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_CONGESTION = 0x00000200 The network is congested.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_DONOTDISTURB = 0x00040000 The call could not be connected because the destination has invoked the Do Not Disturb feature. TAPI versions 2.0 and later.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_FORWARDED = 0x00000010 The call was forwarded by the switch.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_INCOMPATIBLE = 0x00000400 The remote user's station equipment is incompatible with the type of call requested.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_NOANSWER = 0x00000040 The remote user's station does not answer.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_NODIALTONE = 0x00001000 A dial tone was not detected within a service-provider defined timeout, at a point during dialing when one was expected (such as at a "W" in the dialable string). This can also occur without a service-provider-defined timeout period or without a value specified in the dwWaitForDialTone member of the LINEDIALPARAMS structure. TAPI versions 1.4 and later.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_NORMAL = 0x00000001 This is a normal disconnect request by the remote party. The call was terminated normally.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_NUMBERCHANGED = 0x00002000 The call could not be connected because the destination number has been changed, but automatic redirection to the new number is not provided. TAPI versions 2.0 and later.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_OUTOFORDER = 0x00004000 The call could not be connected or was disconnected because the destination device is out of order. This could occur if for example there were hardware failure. TAPI versions 2.0 and later.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_PICKUP = 0x00000008 The call was picked up from elsewhere.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_QOSUNAVAIL = 0x00010000 The call could not be connected or was disconnected because the minimum quality of service could not be obtained or sustained. This differs from LINEDISCONNECTMODE_INCOMPATIBLE in that the lack of resources may be a temporary condition at the destination. TAPI versions 2.0 and later.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_REJECT = 0x00000004 The remote user has rejected the call.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_TEMPFAILURE = 0x00008000 The call could not be connected or was disconnected because of a temporary failure in the network; the call can be reattempted later and is expected to eventually complete. TAPI versions 2.0 and later.

LINEDISCONNECTMODE_TEMPFAILURE is appropriate as a delayed response. For example, a modem getting a busy signal or equivalent too many times in a particular time period concludes that the number should not be called again until a defined time has elapsed and issues a 'delayed' response.

LINEDISCONNECTMODE_UNAVAIL = 0x00000800 The reason for the disconnect is unavailable and will not become known later.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_UNKNOWN = 0x00000002 The reason for the disconnect request is unknown but may become known later.
LINEDISCONNECTMODE_UNREACHABLE = 0x00000100 The remote user could not be reached.

Remarks

The high-order 16 bits can be assigned for device-specific extensions. The low-order 16 bits are reserved.

A remote disconnect request for a given call results in the call state transitioning to the disconnected state and a LINE_CALLSTATE message is sent to the application. The LINEDISCONNECTMODE_ information provides details about the remote disconnect request. It is available in the call's LINECALLSTATUS structure when the call is in the disconnected state. While a call is in this state, the application is still allowed to query the call's information and status. For example, user-user information that is received as part of the remote disconnect is available then. The application can clear a disconnected call by dropping the call.

For backward compatibility, it is the responsibility of the service provider to examine the version of TAPI on the line, and to not use this LINEDISCONNECTMODE_ value if it is not supported on the negotiated version (LINEDISCONNECTMODE_NORMAL or _UNKNOWN could be used instead).
