Release Link Trunk Networks — CAS and ACD
Centralized Attendant Service (CAS) and Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) are features that use release
link trunks (RLTs) in their operation. Like tie trunks, RLTs connect communications systems. Unlike tie
trunks, which carry calls from their initiation to completion, RLTs provide only a temporary service for the
call. That is, RLTs carry calls from their originating switches to the switch where the attendants or agents
are located. Upon receiving the call, the attendant or agent identifies the call destination, returns the call to
the switch of origin for routing and processing, and, then, disengages the RLT, readying it for another call.
Release link trunk network software and ETN software can work together in the same network without
interference. However, the ETN (Standard Network) package or the Private Network Access package is not
required for release link trunk network operation.
