Service Conditions

1.Least Cost Routing can be programmed to choose a route based on the following criteria:

•Digits dialed (first 3 or 6 digits of the outside number).

•Day of Week

•Time of Day

•Tenant number

•Route Advance

In addition, a special Digit Code Table is used to interpret the one, two, or three leading digits of the area code: e.g., 01XX....X: International Call; 0: Operator Call; 0XXX: Toll Operator Call. The system exam-

ines the Digit Code Table when an ORT timeout has occured after dialing leading digits.

2.In addition to selecting the route, the system can be programmed to:

•Add the prefix digit 1 for use with FX lines requiring 1+ dialing.

•Add up to 32 digits in front of the number dialed by the station user to allow for equal access accom- modation, or for secondary common carrier access or Central Offices which do not provide equal ac- cess.

•Delete the area code (for FX trunks).

•Delete all digits, or up to 8 digits from the number dialed.

•Allow or deny access to a specific trunk route based on the office code dialed.

3.All trunk routes in the system can be accessed using LCR (including DDD, Tie, FX, WATS, etc). Restric- tion on outgoing calls and Code Restriction assignments are applied.

4.The following programmable tables are available:

•Digit Code Table - Up to 8 tables of area codes are used to determine the route to be selected. Although area codes are normally 3-digit codes, this table can be assigned with 1 to 8-digit codes. These codes can be assigned to select any other LCR table.
