ETA Node Number
Enter the number of the destination switch for Extended Trunk Access (ETA) 
calls. ETA calls are unrecognized numbers you can send to another switch for 
analysis and routing. Such numbers can be Facility Access Codes, Trunk Access 
Codes, or extensions that are not in the UDP table. 
Uniform Dialing Plan
The Uniform Dialing Plan field must be y on the System-Parameters 
Customer-Option screen before you can administer this field. 
The Uniform Dialing Plan is a separate screen that must be administered if 
4-digit 
or 
5-digit is entered in this field. The UDP provides a common 4- or 5-digit dial 
plan that can be shared among a group of switches. Additionally, UDP can be used 
alone to provide uniform 4- or 5-digit dialing between two or more private 
switching systems without ETN, DCS, or Main/Satellite/Tributary configurations.
NOTE:
Local extensions of fewer digits can still be administered, but cannot be 
reached from other switches.
!CAUTION:
Caution: If you change the entry in the Uniform Dialing Plan field, all UDP 
extension codes are lost.
See DEFINITY ECS Administration for Network Connectivity for more 
information on Uniform Dial Plans.

UDP Extension Search Order
Appears only when Uniform Dialing Plan is 
4-digit or 5-digit. Specifies the first 
table to search to match a dialed extension.
First Digit Table 
This table defines the dialing plan for your system. The rows in the First Digit 
Table indicate what the system does when the row’s first digit is dialed. The 
columns indicate how long the dialed string will be for each type of call.
The First Digit Table may have any of the following codes:
naar (Automatic Alternate Routing shortcut dialing) — can be entered only 
if the Private Networking field and the AAR/ARS Shortcut Dialing field on 
the System-Parameters Customer-Options screen are both y. When an aar 
entry is used to route a call, the caller has access to all AAR features. Enter 
aar
 in any column but only for first digits 0 through 9 and *. You can enter 
aar only once in a given row, and only 
extension or attd can appear on a 
row with aar. 
Any extension entry that precedes 
aar on the row is considered during digit 
analysis. Any extension entry that follows 
aar on the row cannot be dialed 
directly.  Instead, an AAR number must be dialed, and digit conversion 
must be set up to convert the AAR number into an extension.
An attd entry can only appear in the first column and so attd can never 
follow 
aar. Attendant group extensions can be dialed directly, without an 
access code.
nars (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 considered during digit 
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.
Valid entries Usage
local-extensions-first
Search the local Dial Plan first to match a dialed extension. 
udp-table-firstSearch the UDP tables for an off-switch (UDP) conversion.

610 Dial Plan Record

nattd (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-digit number. 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.
ndac (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 4 digits. 
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.
nextension (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 Digit 4 row.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not administer extensions that begin 
with 
0 if the Uniform Dialing Plan is enabled. In the United States of 
America, 
0 is usually the attendant.
nfac (feature access code) only — a FAC can be any number from 1 to 9 and 
contain up to 4 digits. You can use * or #, but only as a first digit.
It is recommended that a FAC be the last item entered in a row when mixed 
numbering is used. Otherwise, problems may occur when 3-digit FACs and 
4-digit extensions begin with the same first digit and the FAC is an 
abbreviated dialing list access code.
The system requires that FACs for AAR and ARS have the longest length 
for a first digit in the First Digit Table.

611 Digit Absorption 
17
nmisc (miscellaneous code) — these codes are used if you want to have 
more than one kind of code start with the same digit and be the same 
length. Misc can have a dialed length of 1, and can have a first digit of 
0 
through 
9. Using misc requires that you also define a Second Digit Table. 
npextension — Is made up of a prefix (first digit) that can be a 0through 9 
(* and # not allowed) and an extension number of up to five digits in 
length. The maximum length of a prefix and extension combination is six 
digits. When a prefixed extension is entered in the dial plan, a TAC cannot 
be entered before the prefixed extension on the same row in the table. If a 
first digit is already assigned as a TAC, a prefixed digit cannot be entered 
after the TAC on the same row in the table. 
The purpose of the prefix is to identify the dial type as an extension. After 
digit collection, the prefix digit is removed from the string of dialed digits. 
The remaining digits (extension number) are then processed. A prefixed 
extension allows the use of extensions numbers with any first digit (the 
extension length must be specified on the table). The prefixed extension 
cannot have the same first digit as the ARS or AAR facility access code 
(FAC).
NOTE:
When a dial plan has mixed station numbering, extensions of various 
lengths (all with the same first digit) are mapped on the First Digit 
table as shown on Field descriptions for page 1. The system then 
employs an inter-digit time-out to ensure that all dialed digits are 
collected. The inter-digit time-out may add several seconds to the dial 
time. An alternative to the delay required in the time-out mechanism 
at the expense of dialing an extra digit is to use prefixed extensions in 
the dial plan.
Digit Absorption
This screen implements up to 5 digit absorption lists. The screen may be required 
for each CO and FX trunk group connected to a step-by-step CO. Each outgoing 
digit string from the switch to the step-by-step CO is treated according to entries 
in the “Absorption Treatment Assignment” section of the screen.
NOTE:
If the Expected Digits field on the Trunk Group screen is blank, you cannot 
administer Digit Absorption.

Name
Use this field to assign a significant, descriptive name to the DS1 link. Lucent 
recommends putting the vendor’s circuit ID for the link in this field, because that 
information helps you troubleshoot problems with the link, but you could also use 
this field to indicate the function or the destination of this DS1 facility. In that 
case, put the DS1 link circuit ID in the Name field of the trunk group associated 
with this link.
Bit Rate
Use this field to select the maximum transmission rate for DS1 circuit packs that 
support either T-1 or E-1 service. For circuit packs that only support one of these 
services, the field is a display-only field.
NOTE:
Once an add ds1 operation is complete (that is, the DS1 screen has been 
submitted) you can’t change the Bit Rate field with a 
change ds1 
command. Instead, execute a 
remove ds1 command. Then use the add ds1 
command to administer the circuit pack again. You’ll have to re-enter all the 
information for the circuit pack.
TN464C (and later release) circuit packs have an option switch that must be 
set to match the entry in the Bit Rate field.
Line Coding
This field selects the type of line coding used on this facility. The setting in this 
field must match the setting on the far-end of the link, or you must have an 
intervening CSU to convert the line coding protocols. Voice calls will work even 
if line coding does not match, but a single data call will bring down the DS1 
facility. For the TTC 2Mb CMI Trunk circuit pack, this is a display-only field 
showing 
cmi (coded mark inversion).

The following information is for reference. Talk with your network service 
provider or your Lucent representative to find the appropriate protocol for your 
application. 
!CAUTION:
If you change this field, you must busy out the DS1 circuit pack. You must 
also change the following screens: Route-Pattern, Access Endpoint, PRI 
Endpoint, Signaling-Group, and Trunk-Group.
NOTE:
When the DS1 circuit pack is used for ISDN service, the ISDN D-channel 
data is inverted when 
ami-basic or ami-zcs is entered and not inverted 
when 
b8zs or hdb3 is entered. 
Valid entries Usage
b8zs
 (bipolar eight 
zero substitution)Enter b8zs for T-1 facilities that support voice and/or data 
traffic. Enter 
b8zs if you need a 64K clear channel.
ami-zcs (alternate 
mark inversion - 
zero code 
suppression)Enter ami-zcs only for T-1 facilities that carry voice 
traffic: it is not recommended for digital-data applications. 
If you anticipate upgrading this facility to ISDN, use b8zs 
line coding if possible.
ami-basic (alternate 
mark 
inversion-basic)Enter ami-basic for unrestricted E-1 facilities.
hdb3 (high density 
bipolar 3)Enter hdb3 for restricted E-1 facilities.
cmi (coded mark 
inversion)Used in Japan, cmi is the only type of line coding you can 
use with the Japanese 2Mbit trunk circuit pack. This field 
becomes a display-only field when you are administering 
the Japanese 2Mbit trunk circuit pack.
