Step 5
Enter data for all applicable rate periods. After all the required Rate Period
charts are completed, it is necessary to transpose the data from the graphic
format of the chart to a numerical entry. You enter the numerical entry into
the system during ARS programming. When transposing the data:
•The format is HH-HH/RP
•HH-HH = From Hour-To-Hour
•RP = Rate Period #
•Always use a 24-hour clock.
•Use the slash (/) to identify the rate period. 
•If a Rate Period extends from evening of one day to...

Completing the ARS Worksheet 
There are various types of calls that are switched by the DDD network.
Among these calls are:
•NNX+nnnn (7-digit local call)
•1+NNX+nnnn (1+7-digit home area toll call) 
•NPX+NNX+nnnn or 1+NPX+NNX+nnnn (10-digit or 1+10-digit
outside area code call) 
•0 or 0+Operator Assisted call
•10xxx +Equal Access Other Common Carrier (OCC) call 
•011+International (IDDD) call 
•411, 1+411, 555+nnnn Directory Assistance call 
•900 or 976 Special Service calls (e.g., Dial a Joke)
Each of...

Step 5
Determine the COS required to use each option and enter it in the column
marked REQ COS. The range is 0-27.
Step 6
After you define all options for all rate periods for a type of call, assign
the group a Selection number in the column marked SEL #. The range is 1-
64.

In the example below, the worksheet entries are for:
•1+NNX-nnnn type calls 
•Using 5 rate periods, where MCI is the least expensive during rate
periods 1, 3, & 5.  DDD is the least expensive during rate periods 2
& 4.
•The customer wishes to have both services available at all times to
users with a COS of 3 or less, but all COS’s can access the cheapest
route during any rate period. 
 
Compile all the necessary data and complete the ARS worksheet. The data
on the worksheet can be transposed to the...

Completing the Dial Treatment Table
The Dial Treatment allows specific dialing instructions to be applied to each
call, independent of the NNX and local address dialed. ARS accommodates a
total of 15 programmable Dial Treatments. A Dial Treatment can be up to 32
characters and contains a combination of the option codes listed below. The
options are listed in the order that they MUST be entered on the Dial Treat-
ment Table PRF (Table 2-4). If an option is not required, omit it. (Note that n
represents...

Inpa
Inpa is used to insert an NPA during ARS redial. This code can be used if
a 1 + NNX + nnnn call is routed to a service which requires an NPA (e.g.,
WATS, or dial-up MCI). For example, I203 would automatically insert the
NPA 203 whenever the Dial Treatment is selected. Only one Inpa code per
Dial Treatment is allowed.
Dnn
Dnn instructs the system to dial the nn digits or codes that follow. ARS
uses the Dnn option code to insert digits, pauses, or timed waits into the
number as it is redialed. When...

R
R instructs ARS to redial the initially dialed number including any modifi-
cations, if any were made using the above entries in the dial treatment.
Only one R code is permitted per Dial Treatment.
If the R code is not inserted in a Dial Treatment, ARS will never redial the number
initially dialed.  In this case, ARS will redial only if a Dnn entry specifies that a 
different number be dialed.
E
E designates the end of a Dial Treatment. All Dial Treatments must end
with the E code. The E code will only...

Completing the Call Route Option PRF
Each Selection Number has up to 16 Call Route Options available for
each of the 8 Rate Periods. It is the Call Route Option that determines the
actual routing for a call after the Selection Number is chosen. 
Call Route Option data consists of three entries: 
•The required class of services which have access to the route 
•The service which the call should be dialed out on 
•The dial treatment to the initial number dialed to make it acceptable
 to the service...

Step 4
In the SER # column, enter the number of the service desired for the rout-
ing as entered in the QL program. The range is 01-10.
Step 5
In the Dial Treatment column, enter the number of the dial treatment nec-
essary for the initially dialed number to be transmitted over the desired
route. The range is 00-15.
DT# 00 redials the original number with no modifications.

Completing the 3-Digit Table PRF
ARS uses the 3-Digit Table PRF to direct the number dialed to a Selection
Number. Data is entered in the 3-digit table for all NNXs (exchange
codes), and for all NPAs that do not require 6-digit analysis (in the 6-digit
table). If ARS does not find an entry for a code in the 3-digit table, the call
will be placed automatically on Service #1. Before completing the 3-digit
Table the following routing conditions must be considered:
If the system is installed in a...
