2.  From the User Needs and Tenant Trunk Groups Worksheets, TRS levels are determined. This list is 
created by reviewing the different calling needs and assigning the most restrictions to the lowest TRS level 
and working up to the least restriction level.

3.  From the User Needs and Tenant Trunk Groups Worksheets, ARS levels are determined. This list is 
created by reviewing the different calling needs and assigning the least cost access levels to the lowest 
ARS level and working up to the highest cost ARS level.

4.  Next the Origination TRS and ARS level and queuing point enable/disable operation is determined for 
each class.
Using Table 7, “Example - User Needs Worksheet,” on page 23, each unique origination class is listed. 
Using Table 9, “Example - Origination TRS Level Plan,” on page 25 the TRS Level is determined for each 
class. Using Table 8, “Example - MCO Tenant/Trunk Groups Worksheet,” on page 24 and Table 10, 
“Example - Origination ARS Level Plan,” on page26, the ARS level is determined for each class.
In this example, we enable Queuing Point so that the system will continuously check for the availability of 
a lower cost trunk before selecting a higher cost trunk.
Table A-11.  Example - Origination TRS/ARS Class to Level Worksheet
Calls are screened by examining the initial digits dialed. A * is available as a wild card. This represents 
any single digit 1 to 9. 
When prefix dial is being considered by the system, the system looks for the longest exact match first. The 
system considers a wildcard last.

5.  Calls are screened by first considering the initial digits dialed. In this case, the first Prefix Dialed entry is a 
1. This will look at any number that starts with 1. A * is available as a wild card. This represents any single 
digit 1-9. 
When prefix dial is being considered by the system, the system looks for the longest exact match first. The 
system considers a wildcard last. For instance, 911 is considered before *11 or even *. Notice also in this 
example there are multiple entries that begin with 9.
If the leading digits needed are to determine the handling of the call, then additional digits can be 
considered by entering a Prefix ID that references entries in the Analyze Digits Table. Otherwise, the 
Prefix ID is left blank and the additional items are considered.
In this example, we cross reference Prefix ID 1 in the Analyze Digits table for any dialed number that 
begins with 1 and Prefix ID 2 for any dialed number that begins with 0. The remaining digits are analyzed 
in the Analyze Digits Table.
From Table 7, “Example - User Needs Worksheet,” on page 23 and Table 9, “Example - Origination TRS 
Level Plan,” on page 25, the restriction levels are determined for each type of dialed call.
We determine the Route Type depending on the type of call. If the time and or day impacts the cost, then 
the time list is used. If the time is not a factor, but multiple trunk groups could be used, then the Route List 
is used. If a specific trunk should be used, then we directly reference the Route Table.

6.  In this case, Prefix ID 1 links calls that have a dialed prefix of 1. Several entries are made to determine the 
restriction TRS level and the Route Type. The call originator must have a Origination TRS Level 
exceeding 1 for the call to be allowed. If any other analyze digits are dialed this would be covered by the 
three * wildcards (***). In this case; the call originator must have a TRS level exceeding 2 for the call to 
be allowed.

7.  If call routing varies by day of week or special day, then separate time lists must be prepared. In this 
example, weekday call routing varies from weekends and holidays. Therefore two time list tables are 
completed. When a call is made, the system will check to see if this is a special day listed in a Time List 
Table. If so, it will use that table. If not, then it will check the day of week and use the associated table.
On weekdays, we know that Carrier B is less expensive from midnight (0000) to 7:59am and from 6pm 
(1800) to midnight). Carrier A is less expensive from 8am (0800) to 1759).
We then reference a route list pattern for each call entry.

8.  Each Route List Pattern consists of a one or more trunk groups in sequence to check for an available trunk. 
Before a route is considered, the required ARS level is compared to the originator’s ARS level. If the 
originator’s ARS level is greater than or equal to the required ARS level, the trunk group listed for the 
route will be searched for an available trunk. If no trunk is found, the system will attempt to use the next 
priority route. 
In this example for Pattern 1, the system will first compare the Priority 1 ARS level for the call. If it is 
determined that the ARS level is acceptable, the system looks at the route # 4 (FX trunk group). If there is 
an available trunk, the system completes the call. If no FX trunk is available during the queuing time, the 
system checks the ARS level for Priority 2. If acceptable, since Queuing Point is enabled the system will 
first attempt to find an available Priority 1 trunk, and then attempt to find a Priority 2 toll-free trunk. If a 
Priority 2 trunk is found, the system will first check to see if Warning Tone is set to Yes. In this example, 
there is no warning tone. If Yes, the system would issue a warning tone to the user before connecting the 
trunk to allow the caller to hang up before using the higher cost trunk. This process is repeated if necessary 
for the Priority 3 - Long Distance Carrier B and then Priority 4 - Long Distance Carrier A.
