							Step 4
For all NPAs that are dialed with a leading 1, enter a Selection Number in
the 1+CODE SEL # column. If the 1+CODE SEL # and the CODE SEL #
routing is the same, enter the same Selection Number in both columns.
If the system is installed in a Conflict Code Area:
•ARS automatically recognizes NPA and NNX codes. If a leading 1
is dialed, the call is routed according to the 1+CODE SEL # entry. If
the leading 1 is not dialed, the call is routed according to the CODE
SEL # entry. 
•All NPAs dialed must be preceded by a leading 1. (6-digit analysis
can only occur if the NPA is dialed with a leading 1.) If a leading 1
is not dialed, ARS assumes that the code is a Conflict Code, routes
the call according to the CODE SEL # entry, and does not attempt 6-
digit analysis. 
•If the code is dialed with a leading 1, ARS determines if 6-digit
analysis is required. If 6-digit analysis is required, the call is routed
according to the 6-digit table entries. If 6-digit analysis is not re-
quired, the call is routed to the 1+CODE SEL # entry. 
To enter data in a Conflict Code Area:
Step 1
For all NNXs that are dialed without a leading 1 (i.e., non toll calls), enter
a Selection Number in the CODE SEL # column.
Step 2
For all NNXs that are dialed with a leading 1 (i.e., that are toll calls), enter
a Selection Number in the 1+CODE SEL # column. If the 1+CODE SEL
# and the CODE SEL # routing is the same, enter the same Selection Num-
ber in both columns. 
Step 3
For all Conflict Codes, enter a Selection Number in the 1+CODE SEL #
column to determine the routing  when the code is an NPA; enter a Selec-
tion Number in the CODE SEL # column to determine the routing when
the code is an exchange.

							Step 4
For all NPAs, enter a 1+CODE SEL # entry. All NPAs must be dialed with
a leading 1.
3-Digit Initialization Programming
If the system is installed in an area where Conflict Codes exist, check the
YES box for the heading: SYSTEM IN A CONFLICT AREA. If the sys-
tem is not in a Conflict Code area, check the NO box. The entry for this
prompt is made during 3-digit table initialization.
Calls to exchange 976, usually used for dial-up services for which there is
a fixed charge per call (such as DIAL-A-JOKE), are normally restricted.
In the box marked: MINIMUM COS TO DIAL 976 indicate the minimum
Class of Service required to access the 976 services. Extensions with a
COS greater than that programmed will be denied access the 976 ex-
change. The entry for this prompt is made during 3-digit table initializa-
tion. This restriction is enforced, whether or not the 976 is preceded by an
NPA.
Programming Exchange 555
Selection Number assignments for exchange 555 must be made in the 3-
digit table. The Selection Numbers programmed are used regardless of the
NPA dialed. Because of this, exchange 555 does not have to be separately
programmed into the 6-digit table for each NPA.

							Completing the 6-Digit Table PRF 
ARS uses the 6-digit table to provide 6-digit analysis for programmed
NPA codes. If an NPA is listed on the table, and the NPA is dialed (with or
without a leading 1), ARS checks the NNX list for that NPA. If the NNX
is found in the list, the match selection number (MATCH SEL #) is cho-
sen. If the NNX is not found in the list, or the NPA does not have an NNX
list, the default selection number (DEFAULT SEL #) is chosen. If the NPA
is not listed in the 6-digit table, route selection is made according to the
programmed entries in the 3-digit table.
To enter data for the 6-Digit Table:
Step 1
Enter each NPA for which 6-digit analysis is required. 
Step 2
Under the NNX LIST heading, enter all NNXs that should cause the
MATCH SEL # to be chosen. The entries must follow the guidelines be-
low:
•Each NPA can have more than one NNX list. If more than one list is
created, each list should have a different MATCH SEL #. 
•Entries in an NNX list can be individual (e.g, 926, 929, 888, etc.) or
in a range (e.g, 926-929, 950-959, etc.). If a range is used, the first
number must always be the lowest number. In addition, the first two
digits of a range must always be the same (e.g, 330-339, 453-458).
Step 3
Enter the DEFAULT SEL # for each NPA. If more than one NNX list is
programmed for an NPA, the NNX list programmed at the top of the ta-
ble determines the DEFAULT SEL # for the NNX lists beneath it. In
other  words, although many lists can be created for the same NPA, and
each list can have its own MATCH SEL #, all NNX lists for a given NPA
share the same DEFAULT SEL #.

							Completing the E.A. & OPR-ASSIST Assignments 
Operator-Assisted Calls
A Selection Number for operator-assisted calls must be specified in the
OPERATOR-ASSISTED CALLS column. It is recommended that the Se-
lection Number and its associated Call Route Options be highly restrictive
to prevent abuse of the operator-assist capability. Remember that call cost
control is effectively bypassed when an outside operator is accessed.
International Calls
The INTERNATIONAL CALLS column is used to designate the Selec-
tion Number to be used when an international call is dialed. Due to the
relatively high cost of international calls, this selection should be highly
restrictive.
Equal Access Calls
The EQUAL ACCESS CALLS column designates the Selection Number
used whenever a system user dials a 10XXX Equal Access code. Since
this bypasses the 3-digit and 6-digit tables, the EQUAL ACCESS CALLS
entry should be highly restrictive.

QF- Line Grp Access (First Trunk in Group), Hybrid Only 
Correlate the first trunk in a trunk rotary (e.g., 801) to one of nine trunk rotary
numbers (90-98).  The system requires this correlation when setting up trunk
rotaries.  Use the trunk access code (e.g., 801 or L01) that corresponds to the
EA- First Trunk in Group
 entry. 
QQ- 1 Prefix Required for NPA Calls
If the system is in a conflict area, enter Y.  Enter N if the system is not in a
conflict area.  In an area with a 10-digit numbering plan and this option is en-
abled (Y), then create a Dial Treatment that strips the 1 prefix.  See page 2-
19 for more details.

							Step 2
Assign a Service Number to lines and/or outbound rotaries.
•In line programming (E4-NEXT LINE IN ROTARY and EA-FIRST
LINE IN ROTARY), assign the WATS trunks to a rotary, the FX
lines to a rotary, and the DDD trunks to a rotary. Since MCI is a dial-
up service, it is accessed over DDD trunks and is assigned Service
#1.
Step 3
•In the QL program, assign the first line in each EA rotary a service
number. DDD lines must be Service #1.
•In CP- CLASS OF SERVICE programming, verify that the Class of
Service table is constructed so that the low COS numbers (toward
00) have the least dialing restrictions and the high COS numbers (to-
ward 27) have the most dialing restrictions.
Note:
 If a dialed code is not entered into either the 3- or 6-digit table, the
call will be routed by default to Service #1. If DDD trunks are assigned to
Service #1, the call will be placed on a DDD trunk.
Step 4
Complete the Rate Periods PRF (Table 2-2).
The AT&T services use the standard three Rate Periods. These standard
Rate Periods are configured when I= INITIALIZE is used to initialize
Rate Periods data. MCI uses the standard Rate Periods plus a fourth rate
period covering Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. This
fourth Rate Period must be created. The Rate Period Table is completed
below to show this additional Rate Period.
