    							Dial Treatments
    For each Call Route Option, a Dial Treatment is available to accommodate
    special dialing instructions. ARS has a total of 16 Dial Treatments, 15 of
    which you can program. These Dial Treatments can:
    •Require that the user enter an authorization code when placing a call
    •Automatically insert or delete a leading 1
    •Insert or delete an NPA
    •Add digits (such as a dial-up OCC number), pauses and waits to the
    dialing sequence
    Once ARS selects the route for the call, the system seizes an available trunk in
    the service. The system then redials the call according to the requirements of
    the applicable Dial Treatment. 
    In addition to its other capabilities, ARS provides separate routing for:
    •Operator and operator-assisted calls
    •International calls
    •Equal Access calls
    Note:
      Toll Restriction does not restrict a call dialed using ARS.

    							CONFIGURATION INTRODUCTION
    The SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Section provides the instructions for
    completing the ARS Program Record Forms (included at the end of this sec-
    tion). Once completed, these Program Record Forms (PRFs) become the ARS
    data base which defines system call routing. You enter the data compiled on
    the PRFs into system memory during programming. 
    How to Configure ARS
    Before entering any data into the Program Record Forms, read this entire sec-
    tion. This gives you an overview of Automatic Route Selection and the type
    of data which must be entered.
    To configure ARS:
    Step 1
    Compile data from the customer concerning service carriers used and serv-
    ice types installed. Enter this data in the Carrier List (Table 2-1).
    Step 2
    Ensure that similar trunks are correctly arranged into outbound groups. Re-
    fer to the E4 and EA Programs in the system Software Manual.
    Step 3
    Install ARS and assign service numbers to groups you programmed in
    Step 2 above. Refer to the QL Program in the system Software Manual.
    Be sure to program DDD (local) trunks into Service #1.
    Step 4
    Configure rate periods based on the cost structure for each service in-
    stalled. Record these Rate Periods on the Rate Period PRF (Table 2-2).
    Step 5
    For each type of call, assign route selections for each rate period. Also, de-
    termine which COS can access each route option. Use the ARS Worksheet
    (Table 2-3).
    Step 6
    Configure any applicable dial treatments for each type of call. Make the
    entries on the Dial Treatment PRF (Table 2-4).
    Step 7
    Configure route selection options using the Carrier List, the Rate Periods
    PRF, the ARS Worksheet and the Dial Treatment PRF. Write your entries
    in the Call Route Options PRF (Table 2-5).
    Step 8
    Build 3-digit & 6-digit translations as needed. Use the 3-Digit Table PRF
    (Table 2-6) and the 6-Digit Table PRF (Table 2-7) to record your entries.

    							Step 9
    Assign route selections to equal access, international, and operator-as-
    sisted calls. Record the entries on the 6-Digit Table PRF (Table 2-7).
    Step 10
    If required, program Authorization Codes. A user’s Class of Service may
    require that the user enter an Authorization Code when placing a call. Re-
    fer to the QW Program in the System Software manual.

    							COMPLETING THE PROGRAM RECORD FORMS
    Completing the Carrier List
    Use the Carrier List (Table 2-1) to record the carriers and services connected
    to the system. Make as many copies of this table as are required to record all
    the information. The entries on this table are never entered directly into sys-
    tem memory, although the information is used when establishing the Call
    Route Options.
    In the CARRIER column, list all the carriers connected to the system (i.e,
    AT&T, GTE, etc). Next, record the various services (WATS 5, DDD, Dial Up,
    1+ etc) in the SERVICE TYPE column. Since ARS uses Service # assignment
    in the QL program to locate each service type, each service type should be as-
    signed to a dedicated Service #. Indicate that assignment in the SERVICE #
    column.
    In the USAGE INFORMATION column, record the cost of calls for each serv-
    ice type. This entry establishes the relative cost of each connected service.
    This determines the order in which ARS selects each route option for each di-
    aled telephone number.
    Completing the Rate Period Table 
    The cost of calls usually changes at predetermined intervals throughout the
    day. At a given time of day, a certain service is the least costly way to send the
    call.  These intervals are the Rate Periods. When ARS is first installed and in-
    itialized, three Rate Periods are defined according to the chart below. Note
    that all entries are in military time (e.g. 13:00 = 1:00 P.M.)

    							Many of the carriers use these predefined rate periods. If the system is con-
    nected to carriers that use these Rate Periods, the initialized values can be
    used; however, if carriers are used that have different (or additional) Rate Peri-
    ods, the Rate Period Table must be redefined. The following is an example
    showing how to construct a Rate Period Table.
    To construct a Rate Period Table:
    Step 1
    Make extra copies of Table 2-2 as needed. For eight rate periods, you’ll
    need the original plus three copies.
    Step 2
    On Table 2-2, assign time periods to the services defined in the Usage In-
    formation column of the Carrier List PRF. There are eight rate period num-
    bers and each is defined by the programmer. Any rate period number may
    define any time period. Rate period 1 usually defines normal working
    hours, Monday through Friday.
    Refer to the sample below and indicate the time span covered by Rate Pe-
    riod 1. For example the table below indicates that Rate Period 1 covers
    Monday-Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

    							To indicate a half hour, begin on the line between two times. The follow-
    ing example indicates that Rate Period 1 covers Monday-Friday, 7:30
    A.M. to 5:00 P.M. 
    Step 3
    Determine if Rate Period 1 is applicable for any other days (Saturday, Sun-
    day or Holidays). If so, indicate this on the Rate Period 1 Table.
    Step 4
    Using the same procedure as step 1 above, define the Rate Period 2 Table.
    Since a time of day cannot exist in two Rate Periods, it is not permissible
    for any Rate Periods to overlap. For example:
