Get-Call-Ahead-Mode / Pre-Send-Session

Sent at the beginning of a Send session, when all of the following criteria are met:

The FB-Transfer-Type for the session is 2 (Queue).

The Port Server is globally configured to determine the call-ahead mode for each
account.

The account is configured to determine the call-ahead mode for each call.

The Port Server RADIUS configuration specifies that the call-ahead mode is obtained in a
separate request with the RADIUS server, as opposed to being obtained at the same
time as the initial Get-Account/Pre-Send-Session request.


When the Get-Call-Ahead-Mode request is sent as a separate request, the dial number will have
been processed by Send Routing. The Send Routing rules may have modified the fax number, or
rejected it which would have prevented the session from being processed any further. It is,
however, slightly less efficient to make a second RADIUS request just to obtain the FB-Call-
Ahead-Mode.

When the FB-Call-Ahead-Mode is determined at the same time as the initial Get-Account/Pre-
Send-Session request, the dial number (in the FB-Dial-Number attribute) is from the fax ATA
before it has been processed by Send Routing. It is, however, slightly more efficient to obtain the
FB-Call-Ahead-Mode in one RADIUS request.
