World Class Routing

DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions has been designed to be a world-class system that meets the needs of both domestic and global customers. One capability essential in meeting those needs is the ability to flexibly dial any location in the world, regardless of the dial plan used at that location. In recognition of this requirement, DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions has been designed with World Class Routing.

World Class Routing is a powerful enhancement to DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions’ call-routing capabilities, linking several call-routing features to build a communications network capable of providing flexible call routing for any type of dialing plan while accommodating changes in both international and domestic dialing plans.

The following are key components of World Class Routing:

•Digit Conversion converts a dialed number for a public network number to a private network number and vice versa. Dialed numbers matching entries in the digit conversion tables are treated and converted. Converted calls can be routed via the most optimum route, resulting in reduced network charges and appropriate use of the private network.

•Toll Analysis compares a dialed number to entries in the system’s list. Based on the results, calls may be restricted from completion.

•Automatic Route Selection digit analysis compares a dialed public network number with entries in the system’s tables, mapping the number to a selected public network routing pattern.

•Automatic Alternate Routing digit analysis compares a dialed private network number with entries in the system’s tables, mapping the number to a selected private network routing pattern.
