12.4Route Tables (ARS)
Description:The ARS feature interacts with the toll restriction feature. You must enter a number into the
toll restriction table and assign a route table (l-32) to it before the system can perform ARS on
the dialed number. The system will route only those numbers that you have both assigned a
route number and entered on the toll restriction table.
The route table entry specifies the following parameters:
- over what line group the call will route,
- whether the station is permitted to make a call on that group,
- whether the dialed numbers must be modified to match that line group.
If a dialed number is not matched by an entry in the toll restriction table, it is routed by routetable 32-the default route table. The system defaults table 32 to use line group 16 and it
defaults line group 16 to use all lines. You must either remove all invalid lines from line group
16 or make table 32 inactive if you do not need default routing.
The entered numbers can be some of the same numbers that you enter as toll restriction numbers
or other numbers that are in addition to them. Either way, you can enter a maximum of 
400 toll
restriction and/or ARS numbers. Each entered number can be up to 16 digits long and can be
comprised of digits O-9 
Plus the “match any” digit (@) if needed.
NOTE: When the system accepts a number entry into the toll restriction table, it re-orders all of
the table entries.The system places a 0 after all other digits in the entries. Also, it
places a number with a leading I ahead 
ofthe same number without a leading 1.
Programming:To enter a number in the toll restriction table and assign a route table to it, proceed as follows,
1 eMake a list of the numbers to be routed.
2.Press CONTROL T for main menu.
3.From main menu, select TOLL/ARS and press ENTER.

12.4.1Route Table Warning ToneDescription:
You can arrange for the system to sound a warning tone in the user’s handset or station speaker
if ARS routes a call on any route other than the least expensive, This tone indicates that the
system has chosen a more expensive line group. If a station user hears this tone, he or she
should hang up and try again later.Programming:

12.4.2RoutesDescription:
There are a total of 32 route tables that you can be program for the system. Each route table can
contain up to 6 routes. Each of these routes convey the data listed as follows:
- the line group to route the call over,- the access level of the route,
- the modify digit table,- all costing information.
Program the six routes from the least costly routing metbod to the most costly routing method.
The costliness of the route is determined by the line group over which the call is routed. ARS
will always try to select route 1 first, and then 2 through 6, when routing a call. If a station,
through its class of service assignment, does not have a route access level high enough to allow
it access the route selected by ARS, dialing is denied. If the route access level is high enough,
ARS will route the call based on the routing information If the system cannot route the call
over the line group that ARS first selects, ARS will try the next route of the route table. Once
again the route access level is tested. This process is repeated, up to a maximum of 6 times. If
the station has access to at least the first route, but is unable to dial out (because all lines are
busy), it will receive a busy tone in the handset or speaker. The station can then camp-on the
route so it will ring when a line in the route table becomes available.Programming:
Assign line groups to routes as follows,
1 e
 Form line groups and program them as described Secfiola 8.2.
On a work sheet, note the line group for each route.

12.4.3Route Access Level
Description:Each of the six routes of a route table require a route access level of 1 to 4.ARS uses this route
access level to determine if the dialing station has access to dial out on the route. Each station,
through its class of service, is also assigned a route access level of 1 to 4. Before the system
accepts a dialed number, ARS compares the route access level entries. If the station route
access level is greater than or equal to the route access level assigned to the route, the station is
allowed to access the route. Otherwise, the system will not accept the dialed number, and
sounds an error at the station’s speaker or handset. The route access level allows some stations
to gain access to the more costly routes in a route table while denying it to others. Just as you
program each route from least to most costly, you must also arrange the route access level to
increase from a low level to a high level. This is necessary because once the system denies
dialing because of the level, it 
willnot try another route. The more costly the route is, the higher
the access level needed to access it.
Programming:To program the access level for the route,
1.Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2.From the main menu, select TOLL/ARS and press ENTER.
3.From the TOLL/ARS menu, select route tables, press ENTER.

11. Press ESCAPE twice to return to main menu.
To program the access level for the station class of service,
1.Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2.From the main menu, select stations and press ENTER.
3.From the stations menu, select COS programming and press ENTER.
4.Type class of service number (l-32) and press ENTER.

							12.4.4Modify Digit TableDescription:Each of the six routes in each route table has a modify digit table. This modify digit table
details any modifications that the system needs to do to the user dialed number.This need for
modification is determined by the type of lines that you include in the line group for the route.
If a line group requires that the dialed number be in a specific format, you must set up an
appropriate modify digit table.You must program the index number of this table into the
specifications of the route that the line group is found.The sole purpose of the index number
and the corresponding table are to modify the number dialed by the station user.Example
Assume that a station dials l-202-222-3456 (Washington DC. area) Also, assume that the
system has an FX line for the Washington DC. area and that this is the way that 
ARS is going
to route the call. Finally, assume that the route table route contains a modify digit table indexnumber that points to the following modify digit table:
ADD 
AMCKJNT = 0
DIGITS TO ADD = n/a
DELETE AMOUNT = 4This situation results in the system deleting l-202 (DELETE AMOUNT = 
4), from the
beginning of the number and adding 0 digits (ADD AMOUNT = 0). This modification allows
the number 222-3456 to be dialed over the 
FX line to Washington D.C.There are 16 modify digit tables in the system. Each modify digit table contains the following
information:
- numerical sequence of the digits to be added (valid digits are O-9 and the pause ,p, digit)
in a digit string that can be up to 20 digits long,
- number of digits to be deleted from the dialed number (this value can be from 0 to 10).NOTE: When ARS modifies the dialed number, 
itfirst deletes from the beginning of the number
and then adds to the beginning of the number.

Costing lnforma tion (A RS)Description:Each route in every route table contains costing information. The costing information includes
a surcharge, a first tier cost per minute, a second tier cost per minute, and the amount of time to
cost the call at first tier cost before switching to the second tier cost.The surcharge is a dollars
and cents value that the system adds to the total cost of a call. You can program both tier costs
in one cent increments in the range of $0.0 through $99.99 per minute.
Even if the system does not route a call through ARS, (for example, when a station user
direct selects a line), the system will still access the costing information to cost the call.The system reports call costs as part of the SMDA report. Use Section 10.1 to set the SMDA
costing parameters for this report.
