							Example B For Long Distance With Office Code Dialing Sequence(1-201-201-nnnn)
The illustrated sequence is a long distance call (more than 10 digits) with 201 as both the area code and
the office code. Program call rate table 25 to cost calls of this sequence. Also, program the zone call band
table by adding office code 201 to area code 201 in band one. Add any other office codes (for example
478) to area code 201 in band one as required.

							3.16.2 Exception Tables (Local Calls And Long Distance Calls)
Description:The system compares all calls to entries in four exception tables (one entry per table).
These tables provide the first priority level of costing. The system searches these tables
on a first match basis. This means that the first programmed entry that matches the call is
the one that the system uses. It does not make a search for the best possible match. The
system costs the matched calls using the rates that you program into the call rate tables
that you assign to the exception tables. You can provide very specific exceptions to a
bracket of calls similar to the following example.
Example:With all calls to area code 804 costed at a particular rate, make an exception
for 804-555-1212 by programming exception table 1 with that number. Since exception
table entries are the highest priority, the values in the call rate table assigned to exception
table 1 are applied to all calls made to the 804-555-1212 number.
To Program:1. Dial78.“EXCEPTION TBL”
2. Dial1–4for entry 1–4.“ENTRY X”
3. Dial1to assign the call rate table.“CALL COST TBL XX”
4. Dial01–33for call rate table number.

							3.16.3 Office Code Band Tables (Local Calls)
Description:The system measures the number of dialed digits in calls that do not match exception
tables. It compares calls with numbers that have less than 10 digits (local calls) to entries
that you have made in office code banding tables. Office code band tables are the second
priority level of costing for local calls. They provide a means for you to assign local
office codes into different bands and apply a separate call costing rate table to each band.
Bands 1–7 are associated with call rate tables 18–24 respectively. Use office code band
tables to cost calls made within a specific area code but to sites located at different
geographic distances from the calling location.
Example: A telephone company exchange consists of office codes 976, 977, and 978.
Office code 976 is assigned to an outlying area while office codes 977 and 978 are
assigned to the heart of the city. Assign 977 and 978 to one office code band table and
976 to another one. Program a special call costing rate for each banding table. Then, the
system costs the calls that users make to 976-nnnn at a different rate than it costs the calls
that users make to 977-nnnn or 978-nnnn.

							3.16.4 Zone Call Band Tables (Long Distance Calls)
Description:In certain heavily populated geographic areas, different area codes exist within the same
geographic distance (zone) from the calling location. In these cases, use zone call band
tables to cost calls based upon the zone, or geographic distance, from the calling location.
The system measures all calls that do not match exception tables for the number of digits
that the user dials. It then compares those calls with numbers that have 10 digits or more
(long distance calls) to entries that you make in the zone call band tables. Zone call band
tables are the second priority level of costing for long distance calls. They assign office
codes and corresponding area code into different zones and apply a separate call costing
rate table to each zone. Zone call band tables 1–4 are associated with call rate tables
25–28. A call must match both the office code and area code of an entry before the
system costs it by a zone call band table.
Example:Zone 1 contains area code 203 with office codes 445 and 456. It also contains
area code 412 with office code 508. Zone 2 contains area code 203 with office code 545.
Zone 2 also contains area code 412 with office code 654. Zone 1 is costed at one rate and
zone 2 is costed at another rate. A call made to 1-203-445-nnnn, 1-203-456-nnnn, or
1-412-508-nnnn is costed at a different rate than a call made to 1-203-545-nnnn or
1-412-654-nnnn.
To Program:1. Dial75.“SMDA PROGRAMMING”

							3.16.5 Area Code Band Table (Long Distance Calls)
Description:The system compares the long distance calls that do not match entries in zone call band
tables to entries that you have made in area code band tables. Area code band tables are
the third priority level of costing for long distance calls. Area code band tables 1–7 are
associated with call rate costing tables 11–17. Use area code band tables to cost calls
based upon the area code of the called number. Assign any or all area codes nnn
(200–999) to one of seven different bands. Group area codes into bands based on
frequently called areas, distance from the caller, or any other desired category.
Example:Assign area codes 703 and 804 to area code band table 1. Assign area code
415 to area code band table 7. Calls made to numbers such as 1-703-nnn-nnnn and
1-804-nnn-nnnn are costed with values assigned to call rate table 11. Calls made to
numbers such as 1-415-nnn-nnnn are costed with values assigned to call rate table 17.
To Program:1. Dial75.“SMDA PROGRAMMING”
2. Dial01to program costing bands.“COSTING BANDS  ”

							3.16.6 Call Rate Tables (Local And Long Distance Calls)
Description:The system compares local calls and long distance calls that do not match entries in any
exception table, office code band table, zone call band table or area code band table with
the entries that you have made in call rate tables 2–10 and 29–33. It then costs those calls
with the rates assigned to the call rate tables with the entries that matches the dialed
numbers.
Costing by call rate table is the third priority level of costing for local calls and the fourth
priority level of costing for long distance calls. You can use the call rate tables to cost
any calls that require special or extraordinary rates such as 1-800-555-1212 or
1-900-976-nnnn.
When you make entries in the call rate tables, enter digits that match digits in the
numbers that users dial from their stations. You can program a maximum of 16 digits into
each call rate table. Since a dialed number must match all of the digits that you have
entered into a table before the system recognizes a match, you can program # characters
into a table in place of a specific digits to serve as “match anything” digits. This feature
eliminates the need for entering every number is a series of numbers that you wish to cost
at a special rate (for instance, 1900#######).
If the system can not match a dialed number with entries that you have made in the call
rate tables, it costs that call with the rate that you have assigned to call rate table 1 (the
table of last resort for costing all calls).
Office code band tables = call rate tables 18–24
Zone call band tables = call rate tables 25–28
Area code band tables = call rate tables 11–17
