DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Routing outgoing calls 187 Assigning ARS FAC 8 Assigning ARS FAC Be sure the ARS Feature Access Code (FAC) is set up on your system. In the U.S., 9 is usually the ARS FAC. Users dial 9 to make an outgoing call. When a user dials 9 to access ARS and make an outgoing call, the ARS access code 9 is dropped before digit analysis takes place. will not be part of the digit analysis. Instructions To assign the ARS FAC: 1. Type change dialplan and press ENTER. The Dial Plan Record screen appears. 2. Move to the 9 row and type fac in the first column. Press ENTER to save your changes. 3. Type change features and press ENTER. The Feature Access Code screen appears. 4. Type 9 in the ARS - access code field and press ENTER to save your changes. Displaying ARS analysis information Instructions You’ll want to become familiar with how your system currently routes outgoing calls. To display the ARS Digit Analysis Table that controls how the system routes calls that begin with 1: 1. Type display ars analysis 1 and press RETURN. The ARS Digit Analysis Table for dialed strings that begin with 1 appears. Note that the switch displays only as many dialed strings as can fit on one screen at a time. To see all the dialed strings that are defined for your system, run an ARS Digit Analysis report: 1. Type list ars analysis and press RETURN. The ARS Digit Analysis Report appears. You may want to print this report to keep in your paper records.
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Routing outgoing calls 188 Understanding ARS analysis 8 Understanding ARS analysis With ARS, the switch checks the digits in the number called against the ARS Digit Analysis Table to determine how to handle the dialed digits. Your switch also uses Class of Restriction (COR) and Facility Restriction Level (FRL) to determine the calling privileges. Let’s look at a very simple AAR and ARS Digit Analysis Table . Your system likely has more defined dialed strings than our example. The far-left column of the ARS Digit Analysis Table lists the first digits in the dialed string. When a user makes an outgoing call, the system analyzes the digits, looks for a match in the table, and uses the information in the matching row to determine how to route the call. Let’s say a caller places a call to 1-303-233-1000. The switch matches the dialed digits with those in the first column of the table. In this example, the dialed string matches the ‘1’. Then the systems matches the length of the entire dialed string (11 digits) to the minimum and maximum length columns. In our example, the 11-digit call that started with 1 follows route pattern 30 as an fnpa call. Tip: The first dialed digit for an external call is often an access code. If ‘9’ is defined as the ARS access code, the switch drops this digit and analyzes the remaining digits with the ARS Analysis Table. The Route Pattern points to the route that handles the calls that match this dial string. Call Type tells what kind of call is made with this dial string. Call type helps the switch decide how to handle the dialed string.

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Routing outgoing calls 189 Understanding ARS analysis 8 Examples of digit conversion Your system uses the AAR or ARS Digit Conversion Table to change a dialed number for more efficient routing. Digits may be inserted or deleted from the dialed number. For instance, you can tell the switch to delete a 1 and an area code on calls to one of your locations, and avoid long-distance charges by routing the call over your private network. The table below reflects these values: nARS feature access code = 9 AAR feature access code = 8 Private Network Office Code (also known as Home RNX) = 222 Prefix 1 is required on all long-distance DDD calls Dashes (-) are for readability only The switch maps the dialed digits to the matching pattern that most closely matches the dialed number. Example: If the dialed string is 957-1234 and matching patterns 957-1 and 957-123 are in the table, the match is on pattern 957-123.

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Routing outgoing calls 191 Understanding ARS analysis 8 Defining operator assisted calls Let’s look at how the switch routes an ARS call that begins with 0 and requires operator assistance. Remember, the user dials 9 to access ARS, then a 0, then the rest of the number. To see how your switch handles a call to an operator: 1. Type display ars analysis 0 and press ENTER. The AAR and ARS Digit Analysis Table screen starting with 0 appears. The table in our example shows 6 translations for calls that begin with 0. Instructions Let’s use the ARS digit analysis table shown above and follow the routing for an operator assisted a call to NJ. — A user dials 9 0 908 956 1234. — The switch drops the ARS FAC (9 in our example), looks at the ARS Digit Analysis Table for 0, and analyzes the number. The switch: ndetermines that more than 1 digit was dialed nrules out the plan for 00, 01, and 011 ndetermines that 11 digits were dialed — The switch routes the call to route pattern 1 as an operator assisted call ARS DIGIT ANALYSIS TABLE Location: all Percent Full: 6 Dialed Total Route Call Node ANI String Min Max Pattern Type Num Req 0____________________1 1 1 svcl ___ n 0____________________8__ 8 ____ 1 op ___ n 0____________________11_ 11____ 1 op ___ n 00___________________2 _ 2 ____ 1 op ___ n 01___________________10_ 23 ___ deny op ___ n 011__________________10_ 23 ___ deny iop ___ n 1____________________11_ 11 ___ 3 intl ___ n
DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Routing outgoing calls 192 Understanding ARS analysis 8 Defining Inter-exchange carrier calls Let’s look at how the switch routes an ARS call to an inter-exchange (long-distance) carrier (IXC). IXC numbers directly access your long-distance carrier lines. IXC numbers begin with 1010, followed by three digits, plus the number as it is normally dialed including 0, 00, or 1+ 10 digits. These numbers are set up on your default translations. Remember, the user dials 9 to access ARS, then the rest of the number. Instructions To see how your switch handles a call to an IXC: 1. Type display ars analysis 1 and press ENTER. The AAR and ARS Digit Analysis Table screen starting with 1 appears. This table shows 5 translations for IXC calls. When you use x in the Dialed String field, the switch recognizes x as a wildcard. The x represents any digit, 0 - 9. If I dial 1010, the next 3 digits will always match the x wild cards in the dialed string. Use the ARS digit analysis table shown above and follow the routing for an IXC call to AT&T. 1010288 is the carrier access code for AT&T. — A user dials 9 1010288 plus a public network number. — The switch drops the ARS FAC (9 in our example), looks at the ARS Digit Analysis Table for 1010, and analyzes the number. — The switch matches 288 with xxx and sends the call over route pattern 5.

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Routing outgoing calls 193 Understanding ARS analysis 8 Restricted area codes and prefixes Certain area code numbers are set aside in the North American Numbering Plan. These numbers are 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 877, 888, 900. You need to specifically deny calls made to area codes 200 through 900 (except 800 and 888). You can also deny access to the 976 prefix, which is set aside in each area code for pay-per call services, if you do not want to incur charges. You can block 976 or any other prefix in all NPAs with a single entry in the digit analysis table. See ‘‘ Using wild cards’’ on page 194 for more information. Instructions Set the 200 area code apart from other area codes 201 through 209. We use the digit analysis table 120 because it defines long distance calls that begin with 1 and all area codes from 200 through 209. To deny long distance calls to the 200 area code: 1. Type change ars analysis 120 and press ENTER. The AAR and ARS Digit Analysis Table screen beginning with 120 appears. The table in our example shows 2 translations for calls that begin with 120. First, follow the routing for a long-distance call that begins with 120 and is allowed. The 120 translation handles all dial strings 1-201 through 1-209, and there are many matches. — A user dials 9 120 plus 8 digits (the first of the 8 digits is not 0). — The switch drops the ARS FAC (9 in our example), looks at the ARS Digit Analysis Table for 120, and analyzes the number. The switch determines that the call is a long-distance call and sends the call over route pattern 4. Now let’s follow a call that begins with the restricted area code 200. Only one string matches this translation. — A user dials 9 1200 plus 7 digits. — The switch drops the ARS FAC (9), and looks at the ARS Digit Analysis Table for 1200. The switch determines that the call type is deny and the call does not go through.

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Routing outgoing calls 194 Understanding ARS analysis 8 Using wild cards You can use wild cards to help separate out calls to certain numbers. Remember, when you use the wild card x in the Dialed String field, the switch recognizes x as any digit, 0 - 9. For example, you can restrict users from making calls to a 555 information operator where you might incur charges. Instructions To prevent callers from placing calls to long-distance 555 information numbers: 1. Type change ars analysis 1 and press RETU RN. The AAR and ARS Digit Analysis Table screen beginning with 1 appears. 2. Use the arrow keys to move to a blank Dialed String field. 3. Enter 1xxx555 in the Dialed String field. 4. Enter 11 in the Total Mn and 11 in Total Mx fields. 5. Enter deny (denied) in the Route Pattern field. 6. Enter fnhp in the Call Type field. 7. Press EN TER to save your changes.

DEFINITY ECS Release 8.2 Administrator’s Guide 555-233-506 Issue 1.1 June 2000 Routing outgoing calls 195 Setting up multiple locations 8 Defining local information calls You can set up your switch to allow calls to local information, or 411. Instructions To allow 411 service calls: 1. Type change ars analysis 4 and press RETU RN. The AAR and ARS Digit Analysis Table screen beginning with 4 appears. 2. Use the arrow keys to move to a blank Dialed String field. 3. Enter 411 in the Dialed String field. 4. Enter 3 in the Total Mn and 3 in Total Mx fields. 5. Enter 1 in the Route Pattern field. 6. Enter svcl (service call) in the Call Type field. 7. Press EN TER to save your changes. Setting up multiple locations When you define location numbers for the cabinets in a switch, you can create numbering plans and time zone and daylight savings plans that are specific for each cabinet. Choose the location you want to use as your main location, and offset the system clock time on each cabinet according to their its location. Before you start Be sure the Multiple Locations field on the System-Parameters Customer-Options screen is set to y. If this field is set to n, contact your Lucent representative for more information. Be sure your daylight savings rules are administered. Daylight Savings Rule numbers are located on the Daylight Savings Rule Screen Each cabinet in a switch and each port network in the cabinet must be assigned a location number. Refer to the maintenance information for your switch for more information.

Instructions
For example, let’s set up multiple locations for a switch with cabinets in Chicago
and New York. Location 1 is assigned to the cabinet in Chicago, our main office,
so Central Standard Time is used for our main location. Location 2 is assigned to
the cabinet in New York. We’ll define the numbering plan area (NPA) for the
Chicago and New York locations, and set the time zone offset for NY to show the
difference in time between Eastern Standard Time and Central Standard Time.
Tip:
Ty p e list cabinets to see the cabinet form and a list of cabinets and their
locations.
To define locations for cabinets in Chicago and New York:
1. Type
change multiple locations and press ENTER.
The Locations
screen appears.
2. Type
y in the ARS Prefix 1 required for 10-digit NANP calls field.
Our dial plan requires users to dial a 1 before all 10-digit (long distance)
NANP calls.
3. Type
Chicago in the Name field in the Number 1 row.
Use this field to identify the location.
4. Type
+00:00 in the TimeZone Offset field in the Number 1 row.
In our example, the system time and the Chicago location time are the
same.
