Details

adiReleaseCall is primarily used to release a connected call or to acknowledge a network disconnection. It may also be used to abandon outbound call placement.

Whenever the network disconnects a call, AG Access sends a ADIEVN_CALL_DISCONNECTED event to the application and prevents it from issuing DSP-related functions. Any active DSP-related functions are terminated with the reason code set to CTA_REASON_RELEASED. The internal resources remain allocated to the call until the application acknowledges the network disconnect by invoking adiReleaseCall. AG Access then resets the call control state to idle (ADI_CC_STATE_IDLE) and generates an ADIEVN_CALL_RELEASED event. The application is then eligible to receive or place another call.

The application can disconnect a call by invoking adiReleaseCall in the placing call state (ADI_CC_STATE_PLACING_CALL), in the connected state (ADI_CC_STATE_CONNECTED), or in the answering state (ADI_CC_STATE_ANSWERING_CALL). In any case, a call released event is generated after the network release procedure completes and AG Access resets the call control state to idle.

Note: ADIEVN_CALL_DISCONNECTED is not generated if release is initiated by the application.

Note: This function is not available when using the NOCC protocol.

Example


void myReleaseCall( CTAHD ctahd )
{
    ADI_EVENT event;

    adiReleaseCall( ctahd );

    do 
    {
        myGetEvent( &event );           /* see adiFetchAndProcess example */
    } while( event.id != ADIEVN_CALL_RELEASED );

    /* Can now place another call and/or wait for an incoming call. */
}
