							3.16.7 Discard Digits
Description:When the digital telephone system is installed behind a host system such as a PBX or
CENTREX, users must dial access codes before obtaining an outside line dial tone. To
ensure that the system costs a call on just the actual telephone number that the user dials,
you should arrange for the system to ignore these access codes. You can program up to
six different access codes entries with up to eight digits per entry.
Example:If the system is installed behind a PBX using a 9 as an outside line access
code, program a 9 as the discard digit.  When a number such as 9-555-1212 is dialed,
the 9 is discarded and the call is costed based on 555-1212.
To Program:1. Dial75. “SMDA PROGRAMMING”
2. Dial01to program costing bands. “COSTING BANDS”
3. Dial4to program discard digits.“DISCARD DIGITS”
4. Dial1–6to select entry 1–6.“ENTRY X”

							3.17 Specialized Route Access (SRA)
The SRA feature allows the system to select a line group based on the digits the user has dialed. By doing
this, it matches calls with their ideal routes. The feature provides a table-driven routing scheme where the
numbers the users dial cause the system to chose a line group after comparing the dialed number with
entries in an office code table, and area code table or, four special area code tables.
You should make a record in Chapter 4 of all programming decisions that you make—it will help you
keep track of what you have done and will help you troubleshoot any problem that might arise later.
CAUTION
You can only program the SRA feature from the VDT and not from station 10.
Use your VDT to program for the specialized route access (SRA) feature.
Line group dialing codes 81, 82, and 83 do not provide access to the SRA feature, but they could provide
a means of bypassing SRA, allowing users access to line groups outside of the specialized routing
process. To ensure that the system routes all calls through SRA, use the feature inhibit programming
procedure described in section 3.17.7 to inhibit dialing codes 81, 82, 83.
The first step in the VDT programming sequence is to enter password. Do this by typingIS746S. Once
in the programming mode, type a selection number from the main menu and follow the screen prompts to
complete your programming requirements.
3.17.1 Enable The SRA Feature
Description:When you enable the SRA feature, you must first clear all assigned prime line, idle line
preference, and direct line appearance to inhibit all direct line access for the system
stations, and you must assign lines to the line groups the system will use.
To Program:1. TypeIS746Sand pressRETURN.
2. From the main menu, type1and pressRETURNfor system COS menu.
3. From the system COS menu, type16for specialized route access menu
and pressRETURN.
4. From specialized route access menu, type1for SRA feature

							3.17.2 Enable SRA Office Code And Area Code Tables
Description:The office code table matches a dialed office code with one of the office codes that you
have entered in the table, and routes the call over the line group that you have entered for
that office code. The area code table matches a dialed area code with one of the area
codes that you have entered in the table, and routes the call over the line group that you
have entered for that area code.
NOTE: When programming the tables, note that all table entries are defaulted to line
group 1; therefore, to minimize programming effort, assign area/office codes
with the fewest entries to line groups 2 through 4. For example: if you are
entering area codes 200 through 299 and codes 200 through 209 requires one
line group while codes 210 through 299 requires another line group, leave
line group 1 assigned to the larger quantity of entries that require the most
programming effort (210-299) and reprogram the line group for the smaller
quantity of entries.

							3.17.3 Enable Special SRA Area Code Tables
Description:The four special area code tables must first match a dialed area code and then match the
dialed office code with office code entries in the matched table. With a complete match
found, the system routes the call over the line group that you have assigned to the
matched office code in the matched special area code table.
NOTE: When programming the special area code tables, note that all office code
entries are defaulted to line group 1; therefore, to minimize programming
effort, assign those codes with the fewest entries to line groups 2 through 4.
For example: if you are programming for code entries 200 through 299, and
codes 000 through 209 requires one line group while codes 210 through 299
requires another line group, leave line group 1 assigned to the larger quantity
of entries that require the most programming effort (210-299)and reprogram
the line group for the smaller quantity of entries.
