CODE
Enter the desired 100-block, for example 000 through 099 or 900 through 999. A 
separate screen is required for each 100-block.
Pattern Choices
Code-Pattern Choice Assignments
Route Pattern
The Route Pattern screen defines the route patterns used by your switch. Each 
route pattern contains a list of trunk groups that can be used to route the call. The 
maximum number of route patterns and trunk groups allowed depends on the 
configuration and memory available in your system.
Use this screen to insert or delete digits so AAR or ARS calls route over different 
trunk groups. You can convert an AAR number into an international number, and 
insert an area code in an AAR number to convert an on-network number to a 
public network number. Also, when a call directly accesses a local central office 
(CO), if the long-distance carrier provided by your CO is not available, your 
switch can insert the dial access code for an alternative carrier into the digit string.
Valid entries Usage
1
 to 32Enter the table number. You can use up to 8 screens for each 
table, one screen for each 100 numbers.
Valid entries Usage
Enter the route pattern number you want associated with each 
code. The pattern choice you list on one screen automatically 
defaults to the other screens of the same table. If you use one 
pattern for most of the codes, assign that pattern to choice 1. 
Valid entries Usage
1
 through 12Enter a Pattern Choice number from the list above to choose 
the route pattern for each prefix code.

NPA
This entry is not required for AAR. 
Prefix Mark
This entry is not required for AAR. For ARS, enter a number from 
0 to 4 or blank.
Prefix Marks set the requirements for sending a prefix digit 1, indicating a 
long-distance call. Prefix Marks apply to 7- or 10-digit Direct Distance Dialing 
(DDD) public network calls. A prefix digit 1 is sent only when call type is foreign 
number plan area (FNPA) or home numbering plan area (HNPA) in the ARS Digit 
Analysis table.
For a WATS trunk, the Prefix Mark is the same as the local CO trunk. 
Valid entries Usage
3-digit number Enter the 3-digit Numbering Plan Area (NPA) (or area code) 
for the terminating endpoint of the trunk group. Call your local 
telephone company to verify this number if you need help.
For WATS trunks, the terminating NPA is the same as the 
home NPA unless the Local Exchange Carrier requires 10 
digits for local NPA calls.
blank For AAR calls and for tie trunks
Valid 
entries Usage
0
nSuppress a user-dialed prefix digit 1 for 10-digit FNPA calls.
nLeave a user-dialed prefix digit 1 for 7-digit HNPA calls.
nLeave a prefix digit 1 on 10-digit calls that are not FNPA or HNPA 
calls.
Do not use Prefix Mark 0 in those areas where all long-distance calls 
must be dialed as 1+10 digits. Check with your local network provider.
1nSend a 1 on 10-digit calls, but not on 7-digit calls.
Use Prefix Mark 1 for HNPA calls that require a 1 to indicate 
long-distance calls.
2nSend a 1 on all 10-digit and 7-digit long-distance calls.
Prefix Mark 2 refers to a Toll Table to define long distance codes.

Hop Lmt
Enter the number of hops for each preference. A hop is when a call tandems 
through a switch to another destination. Limiting the number of hops prevents 
circular hunting, which ties up trunk facilities without ever completing the call. 
DEFINITY ECS blocks a hop equal to or greater than the number you enter.
Toll List
This entry is not required for AAR. 
3nSend a 1 on all long-distance calls and keep or insert the NPA (area 
code) so that all long distance calls are 10-digit calls. The NPA is 
inserted when a user dials a Prefix digit 1 plus 7-digits.
Prefix Mark 3 refers to a Toll Table to define long distance codes. 
4nAlways suppress a user-dialed Prefix digit 1.
Use Prefix Mark 4, for example, when ISDN calls route to a switch 
that rejects calls with a prefix digit 1.
blank For tie trunks, leave this field blank.
Valid entries Usage
blank Indicates that there is no limit to the number of hops for this 
preference.
1 to 9To limit the number of hops if using the tandem hop feature.
1 to 32If using the transit feature.
Valid entries Usage

No. Del. Digits
Use this field to modify the dialed number so an AAR or ARS call routes over 
different trunk groups that terminate in switches with different dial plans 
Inserted Digits
Enter the digits you want inserted for routing. The switch can send up to 52 digits. 
This includes up to 36 digits you may enter here plus up to 18-digits originally 
dialed. Special symbols count as two digits each.

digitsEnter the digits you want inserted for routing.
* When * is in the route pattern and the outgoing trunk is signaling 
type “mf”, the MFC tone for the “end-of-digits” is sent out to the 
CO in place of the *.
# When # is in the route pattern and the outgoing trunk is signaling 
type “mf”, the MFC tone for the “end-of-digits” is sent out to the 
CO in place of the #.
‘
,’ Use 2 places. Creates a 1.5 second pause between digits being sent. 
Do not use as the first character in the string unless absolutely 
necessary. Misuse can result in some calls, such as Abbreviated 
Dialing or Last Number Dialed, not completing.
+ Wait for dial tone up to the Off Premises Tone Detection Timer 
and then send digits or intercept tone based on Out Pulse Without 
Tone y/n on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen. 
% Start End-to-End Signaling. 
! Wait for dial tone without timeout and then send DTMF digits.
& Wait for ANI (used for Russian pulse trunks)

No. Dgts Subaddress
Allows a caller to reach a number where switch digit processing deletes the dialed 
number and inserts the listed directory number (LDN). The LDN then is sent to 
the destination address and the dialed extension is sent in the calling party 
subaddress information element (IE). At the receiving end, the call terminates to 
the user indicated by the subaddress number instead of the attendant. 
Administrable when, on the System-Parameters Customer-Option screen, the 
ISDN Feature Plus field is 
y.
Numbering Format
This field applies only to ISDN trunk groups. Enter a value from table below. This
