Accept Numbers

This field designates which numbers this end point will pass on toward the Network (PSTN). The accept list may consist of multiple entries. The num- bers are defined using “wild cards”:

X = Any single digit

N= Any single digit 2—9

$ = Any number of digits of any value

9= This specific number

[1,2,3...] = A single digit in this group

Example: 1-800-$ would only permit toll free long distance calls to 1-800. If this were used, then a second accept # would need to be specified - NXX- XXXX. This would permit local numbers to be dialed.

Any specific entry will take precedence over a wild card. For example, if end point “A” was designated as $ while end point “B” accepted 963-800X, then an incom- ing call to 963-800X would only be accepted by end point “B”.

These options reflect the bearer capability the Network has provi- sioned for this line. If the ISDN lines were purchased with different services provisioned, then ATLAS would send the call out of the port which supports the type of service the call requires.

Example: The Network Termination is on a pair of BRIs (with the same phone number) with one provisioned for data and the other for voice. By enabling data in one and not the other, ATLAS ensures that calls bearing data will be sent out the right BRI interface.

Primary Search

The Search parameter instructs ATLAS which order to search for an accept number match. Normally all searches are set to Primary. The Secondary search selection would be used to force ATLAS to only accept a call at this end point if all Primary end points were unavail- able.

Example: All long distance calls should go out a PRI directly to an IXC (MCI, ATT, etc.) and local calls should go out a T1 to the LEC. It may be desirable to place long distance calls on the local exchange if all of the IXC trunks are unavailable (busy or in alarm). In this case, the primary accept number for the local exchange would be N$, and the secondary accept would be 1$.

Secondary Search

The same accept rules apply for all secondary number searches as for primary searches.
