596Dial Plan Record

■ars (Automatic Route Selection shortcut dialing)— can be entered only if

the ARS field and the AAR/ARS Shortcut Dialing field on the

System-Parameters Customer-Option screen are both y. When an ars entry

is used to route a call, the caller has access to all ARS features. Enter ars in

any column but only for first digits 0 through 9 and *. You can enter ars

only once in a given row, and only extension or attd can appear on a row

with ars.

Any extension entry that precedes ars on the row is consi dered durin g d igit

analysis. Any extension entry that follows ars on the row cannot be dialed

directly. Instead, an ARS number must be dialed, and digit conversion

must be set up to convert the ARS number into an extension.

An attd entry can only appear in the first column and so attd can never

follow ars. Attendant group extensions can be dialed directly, without an

access code.

■attd (Attendant) — Defines how users call an attendant. Attendant access

numbers can start with any number from 0 to 9 and contain 1 or more

digits. If a telephone’s COR restricts the user from originating calls, this

user cannot access the attendant using this code.

(An attendant group number can also be defined as a two-d igit numbe r . The

first digit is defined as "misc" on the First Digit Table, and the second digit

(0 through 9) is defined on the Second Digit Table screen.

■dac (Dial access codes) — Allows you to use trunk access codes (TAC)

and feature access codes (FAC) in the same range. Dial access codes can

start with any number from 0–9, * or # and can contain up to 4digits.

The system requires that a DAC have the longest length for a first digit in

the First Digit Table.

You can use the DAC to activate or deactivate a switch feature or to seize a

trunk from a trunk group, or both. In the first case, the DAC functions as a

FAC, in the second as a TAC. For example, you can define the group

300–399 for dial access codes, and allow both FAC and TAC in that range.

You can use 4-digit DACs for ordinary trunk access, but they do not work

for attendant control of trunk groups, trunk-ID buttons, or DCS, and only

the last 3 digits of the codes can be recorded in CDR records. A DAC must

be the last item entered in a row when mixed station numbering is used.

■extension (primary extension) — Defines extension ranges that can be

used on your system. Extension can have a first digit of 0 through 9 (* and

# not allowed) and can be 1 to 5 digits in length. Extension cannot have the

same first digit as the ARS or AAR feature access code (FAC).

For example, if extensions 400 through 499 are required, enter ext at the

intersection of the "-3-" column and the First Di g it "4" row.
