DNs uses up all the leading digits as access codes, the examples in this 
section assume that the internal directory numbers are at least three digits 
long.

Routing service in Services).

Setting up a route for long distance calling
An office may have leased lines which make it cheaper to call long 
distance. The routing should take place automatically when the number of 
the outgoing call begins with 1.
Destination codes cannot conflict with any other digits users may dial as 
part of a internal or external...

Tip - If rates change depending on the time of the 
day or week, a different route can be used for the same 
destination code 1 when a particular schedule is in 
use. See ‘Programming for least cost routing.’

Adding a long distance carrier access code
In many cases, long distance service uses the same lines as local service but 
is switched to a specific carrier using an access number, which is 
sometimes called an equal access code. Programming for routing can 
include the access number so users do not have to dial it every time they 
make a long distance call.
To make this type of dialing possible, set up the following:
create a route that uses the...

Programming for least cost routing
It may be cheaper to use another long distance carrier at another time of 
day. Continuing with the example used in the flowchart, long distance calls 
will go out on the same lines without an access code at Night because that 
is when rates become competitive. For the system to do this automatically, 
another route has to be built.

Calls that begin with the digits 91 will now travel out without using the 
access code when the Night schedule comes into use automatically, or 
when it is turned on at a control telephone.
Multiple least cost routing
An alternative to overflow routing, is to use multiple least cost routing.

preference, for a destination code, if you are using active services for your...
