Adding a new area code or prefix
A common task for system administrators is to configure their system to recognize
new area codes or prefixes.
When you want to add a new area code or prefix, you look up the settings for the
old area code or prefix and enter the same information for the new one.
Tip:
Use
display toll xxx
(where xxx is the prefix you want to add) to see if the
new area code or prefix number is set up as a toll call (y) or not. Some user s
may not be allowed to dial toll call numbers.
Instructions
Let’s add a new area code. When the California a rea co de, 415, spl its and por tions
change to 650, you’ll need to add this new area code to your system.
Tip:
If you do not need to use 1 for area code calls, omit the
1
in steps 1, 3, and 5
in our example. Also, enter
10
in the Total Min and Total Max fields (instead
of 11) in step 6.
To add this non-local area code:
1. Type list ars route-chosen 14152223333 and press RETURN.
You can use any 7-digit number after 1 and the old area code (415). We
used 222-3333.
The ARS Route Chosen Report screen appears.
2. Write down the Total Min, Total Max, Route Pattern, and Call Type values
from this screen.
In this example, the Total Min is 11, Total Max is 11, Route Pattern is 30,
and the Call Type is fnpa.
3. Type change ars analysis 1650 and press RETURN.
The AAR and ARS Digit Analysis Table screen appears.
