The routing patterns set up in Tables 0 through 5 and in the default tables meet all Prime’s current needs, so Frank leaves Tables 6 and 7 blank for now.

Use the form for Automatic Route Selection tables provided in the Appendix to com- plete a similar set of ARS tables for your system. It is important to prepare these tables carefully, so that your business gains the maximum benefit from Automatic Route Selection. If you have a printer connected to your system, you can printout the ARS tables as you prepare them, to serve as worksheets and for future reference.

After preparing your tables, follow the procedures below.

Administering Area Code/Exchange Sections of ARS Tables

To administer the Area Code/Exchange sections of Tables 0 through 7, follow the pro- cedure below.

Tables 8 and 9 have no Area Code/Exchange sections for you to administer, since they are default tables, used in calling all area codes and exchanges not specified in the other tables. You cannot change the entries in the Area Code/Exchange sec- tion of the Special Numbers Table.

1.If you have not already done so, enter administration mode by follow- ing the boxed instructions on page 25.

2.Touch Adm Misc.

9.If you have a printer connected to your system for SMDR, you can get a printout of the complete set of ARS tables. Sample printouts are shown on pages 49 through 51. To get a printout, dial the 4-character code #902.

The green light next to Adm Misc flashes.

When the printout is completed, you hear a beep and the green light next to Adm Misc becomes steady.
