Functions used for making calls
Step by step
(Alert)
You can configure the HiPath 1100 to send a warning tone in the event that no external line is available for LCR (see Programming Manual - Main Configurations - Warning Tone when LCR is not available). This will alert the user to the fact that the call is being completed by a standard Carrier and that rates may be higher than usual.
To warn the user that a different carrier is completing the call, the system telephone display will display "EX- PENSIVE CONNECTION" and a warning tone will be heard.
ACS1
With ACS (Alternative Carrier Selection) the system can be set to use a specific carrier regardless of user’s se- lection. This feature allows you to choose the carrier that offers the best rates at the specified calling time or to select a default carrier for all calls, assuming conver- sion rules are properly defined.
The first digits of the number dialed by the user are an- alyzed by the system. If the system determines that they belong to Conversion rules, it replaces them with the rule’s preset numbers. The route/destination to be used can also be preset. There is no field available to specify a carrier. The carrier code must be included in the conversion rule.
Different conversion rules can be applied to the same number, depending on the time of day and day of the week. It is possible to define a maximum of 100 conver- sion rules.
Example: Number dialed: 262 XXXX Conversion Rules:
Index | Dialed | Alter- | Alter- | Overflow |
| Number | nate | nate | Destina- |
|
| Number | Destina- | tion |

[1]ACS does not affect Emergency Numbers when the user dials di- rectly.
A dialing rule may change if it is configured for using the Overflow option.
Conversion rules must be configured using the HiPath 1100 Man- ager.
