Network Access
Explanation
The Dialing Translation Table is empty. The local network in Mountainview supports 10 digit national dialing with recognized long distance charging.
In situations like the Mountainview example, there is no need to build a Dialing Translation Table.
The Dialing Table Translation results in a number that can be dialed on the local network. The final step is to prefix any digits required to reach the local network from your Norstar system. For systems that are behind a PBX or PABX, typically in North America ·must be prefixed to the telephone number. For systems attached to Central Office (CO) lines no digits need to be prefixed.
Dialing Translation properties
Dialing Translation is controlled by four properties:
Long distance access code
This prefix, if specified, is removed from any numbers entered by the subscriber if it is not needed to make the call. This simplifies the creation of the Dialing Translation Table. For North America, set the long distance access code to 1. The default for this parameter is none. The field for this parameter is a maximum of 1 digit.
Area code
If the phone number entered appears to be missing an area code, an area code is prefixed to the number. The area code is considered missing if the number has fewer than 10 digits. The default for this parameter is none. The field for this parameter is a maximum of 6 digits. If this parameter is set to none, no area code is prefixed to the telephone number.
Access code
In North America, the access code is usually 9. This number is prefixed to all numbers after Translation to access the local telephone network. If your system is attached directly to CO lines, set the Access Code to none. The default for this parameter is none. The field for this parameter is a maximum of 2 digits.
Reply translation
If set to N (no), the caller must manually trim the Caller ID message information for the number to be dialed on the local network. If the reply translation is set to Y (yes), then the Reply feature uses the Dialing Translation Table to dial the call. The default for this parameter is N.
To make it easier for subscribers, set the Reply Translation to Y if a Dialing Translation Table is created. If a Dialing Translation Table is not created, set the Reply Translation to N.
