This section includes programming procedures for assigning UDP routing. UDP routing is very similar to ARS, except that it is slightly simpler. UDP routing allows system users to reach non-local extensions at a remote DEFINITY ECS or DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions or MERLIN LEGEND Communications System that is networked to your system. UDP routing associates the dialed extension number with one of up to 20 programmed patterns. For each pattern you can specify up to four routes. For each route, you specify a pool dial-out code. Then you can program FRLs, absorbed digits, prepended digits, and voice and/or data capability.

You can use inspect to review existing routes. To see a report of existing non-local extension ranges, select the 3ULQW option on the System Programming menu and then choose 1RQ/FO￿8'3. Appendix B, “Network Reports,” includes a sample.

NOTE:

Before using this procedure, assign all private tandem trunks connected to your system to pools. Then assign pools to routes in pattern, if you remove or change a pool number for a route, all the routing information returns to default values: FRL 3, no prepended or absorbed digits, both voice and data capability. In addition, you should assign patterns to non-local extension ranges, which is part of numbering the extensions. To perform this procedure, see “Non-LocalDial Plan Numbering” on page 15 .

This section contains programming procedures for the following UDP routing features:

■UDP Routes

■FRL

■Digit Absorption

■Other (Prepended) Digits

■Voice and/or Data Routing

Planning Guidelines 5

There are five steps in programming UDP routes:

1.Assigning pools of tandem trunks to UDP routes

2.Assigning FRLs to routes

3.Specifying the number of dialed or received digits that should be absorbed, starting with the first dialed digit

4.Specifying the digits that should be prepended to the number that results in Step 3

5.Specifying, for tandem trunks, voice capability, data capability, or both
