							Implementation and Service Manual  Determining Outdial Strings12-1
CHAPTER 12
Determining Outdial Strings
An outbound dialing operation is any call scheduled by the messaging system for which
it must access an outbound port. For an outbound dialing operation to an outside number
to be successful, the messaging system must hav e the correct outdial string, which
consists of the applicable access codes and prefixes followed by the destination
telephone number. For the following outbound dialing operations, the entire outdial string
may not be supplied by the application and must be determined by the messaging
system:
·  Replying to network messages
·  Dispatching OctelNet or Administered AMIS messages
·  Sending a fax requested through fax retriev al to external destinations
The Dial Plan utility determines the correct outdial string for these outbound dialing
operations. Use Dial Plan to identify the local area code and associated prefixes for the
customer’s messaging system. This information is then compared to the outdial string
supplied by the application to determine the string the system dials.
Procedures in this chapter will help you to:
·  Identify local area codes and prefixes
·  Delete a local call combination
·  Activate Dial Plan
·  Understand how Dial Plan works
If the phone switch is configured for Least-Cost Routing (LCR), Automatic Route
Selection (ARS), or a similar type of routing, Dial Plan is not required.

Implementation and Service Manual  Identifying Local Area Code and Prefixes12-2
Identifying Local Area Code and Prefixes
Use this procedure to identify the local area code and associated prefixes for the
messaging system.
To identify local area code and prefixes:
1.  During installation, select DialPlan from the Installation Setup Utility dialog box. An
introductory dialog box displays.
If the messaging system is already installed, you can launch DialPlan any time by
double-clicking the DialPlan icon in the program folder. If the messaging system is
running, you must select Exit from the File menu to shut it down before you run
DialPlan.
If you upgraded an existing system and the Dial Plan database contains 6-digit
prefixes, where the first three digits match the defined local area code, a dialog box
displays each time you launch Dial Plan prompting you to conv ert the 6-digit data to
3-digit data. If you want the messaging system to include the area code, but not the
long-distance access code, in the outdial sequence, click No. If you click Yes, the
first three digits representing the area code are remov ed from the entry to conv ert it
to a 3-digit prefix, and the messaging system dials the prefix and subscriber
identification number without the long-distance access code or the area code.
2.  Click OK to continue. The Dial Plan dialog box displays.
3.  In the Local Area Code field, enter the local area code for the messaging system.
A standard 10-digit phone number has the format 
aaapppnnnn, where aaa
represents the 3-digit area code, ppp is the 3-digit prefix, and nnnn represents the
4-digit suffix. For example, for the phone number (212) 355-1234, 212 is the area
code, 355 is the prefix, and 1234 is the suffix.
Some calling areas allow more than one local area code. For example, when an
area code is changed, there is usually a transition period when both the old and new
codes are accepted. Although the Local Area Code field allows for only one entry,
step 4 discusses a method of configuring Dial Plan to recognize more than one local
area code. 
						

							12. Determining Outdial Strings
Implementation and Service Manual  Deleting a Prefix12-3
4.  In the Prefix to Insert field, enter a prefix associated with the area code you defined
as the Local Area Code. Prefixes can be three, four, or six digits:
· Three-digit prefixes–Standard 3-digit prefix.
· Four-digit prefixes–Use a 4-digit prefix to define a long distance call within
the same area code. Four-digit prefixes must begin with a 1.
· Six-digit prefixes–Use a 6-digit prefix to identify a second local area code
or to include the area code in an area that require 10-digit local dialing.
Six-digit prefixes consist of the area code and an associated prefix. You
must create a separate entry for the area code and each associated prefix in
each case of multiple local area codes or for 10-digit local dialing.
  If the Long Distance Access Code and area code are required before in-state, long
distance calls, do not identify those prefixes in the Prefix List. The system then uses
the entire call string (1
aaapppnnnn) during the outdial operation.
5.  To add the prefix to the Prefix List, click Insert Prefix.
6.  Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each prefix you want to add. You may define a maximum
of 900 prefixes.
7.  To add a new prefix that is one greater than the last prefix you entered, click
Prefix + 1.
8.  To exit Dial Plan, click Done.
Deleting a Prefix
Complete the following procedure to delete a prefix from the Prefix List.
To delete a prefix from the Prefix List:
1.  If the messaging system is running, select Exit from the File menu to shut it down.
2.  Double-click the Dial Plan icon in the program folder. An introductory dialog box
displays.
3.  Click OK to continue. The Dial Plan dialog box displays any defined prefixes for the
local area code.
 
4.  Select the prefix you want to delete from the list.

5.  Click Delete Selected. The prefix is remov ed from the Prefix List.
6.  Repeat steps 4 and 5 for any additional prefixes you want to delete.
7.  To exit Dial Plan, click Done.
Activating Dial Plan
To activate Dial Plan:
1.  Start the messaging system, if it is not already running.
2.  Log in as a Lev el 3 system manager.
3.  From the Options menu, select System Setup. The initial System Setup window
displays.
4.  Click the Outbound tab to v iew the Outbound Dialing Parameters tab.
5.  To enable Dial Plan, select the Use Dial Plan checkbox.
6.  From the File menu, select Sav e.
7.  To close System Setup, select Exit from the File menu. The main window displays.

Understanding How Dial Plan Works
After you configure and activ ate Dial Plan, a request to dispatch an Administered
network message or a fax retriev al request triggers a search for a match of the
destination phone number’s area code to the data you entered in Dial Plan:
1.  If the destination number’s area code (
aaa) does not match the Local Area Code
defined in Dial Plan, a match of 
aaappp is attempted. If aaappp is found in the Prefix
List, the system dials 
aaapppnnnn. If a match is not found, the system assumes the
number is long distance and dials 1
aaapppnnnn, where 1 represents the Long
Distance Access Code you defined on the Networking tab in System Setup.
2.  If the destination number’s area code matches the defined Local Area Code, Dial
Plan conducts the following additional searches:
a. Searches for an 
aaappp match. If a match is found, the system dials
aaapppnnnn.
b. Searches for 
ppp in a four-digit entry (1ppp). If a match is found, the system
dials 1
pppnnnn.
c. Searches for a 
ppp match. If a match is found, the system dials pppnnnn.
d. If no matches are found from the abov e searches, the system dials
1
aaapppnnnn, where 1 represents the Long Distance Access Code.
Dial Plan is not used for international calls. W hen the Country Code you identify in
System Setup is different than the country code of the destination phone number, the
system dials the destination telephone number as entered.
If you hav e any questions regarding call sequence requirements for the local area in
which the messaging system is being installed, contact a phone company representativ e.

Implementation and Service Manual  Running the System Setup Utility13-2
 Running the System Setup Utility
  During messaging system installation, run System Setup when you are prompted by the
Installation Setup utility. Be sure you run the Integrator utility, if the messaging system
was not preconfigured, before you run System Setup, as the Integrator presets some
parameter settings based on the switch you specify.
 
  You can run the System Setup utility after initial messaging system installation by:
·  Selecting the Setup option from the Options menu on the main system window
when logged in as a Lev el 3 system manager
·  Double-clicking the System Setup icon in the program folder
Saving the System Setup Configuration
You can sav e the current System Setup configuration at any time by selecting the Sav e
option from the System Setup File menu. Some parameter modifications require you to
restart or shut down the messaging system, so the new settings can take effect. The
system notifies you, when you sav e System Setup, whether you are required to restart
the messaging system.
