An Overview of Least Cost RoutingLeast Cost Routing 
(LCR) is used to automatically place calls along the least
expensive trunks, depending on the carrier supplying the trunk and the time of
dayFor example, if calls to Toronto made between 10 p m and 2 a m are
cheapest using a trunk supplied by Al Telecom, LCR automatically routes
calls to that city, during that time, along Al Telecom trunks
LCR can also be used to add non-dialed digits to (or delete non-dialed digits
from) the dialed prefix

LCR Trunk Group
Each Time Priority Route Table is assigned to an
LCR trunk group Because the Time Priority Route Table is assigned to a
time of day (a “position”), the table determines the time that the LCR trunk
group is used The cost-effectiveness of a trunk group and the time of day
it is to be used determine the position of the...

available trunk is found
If all the trunks in a trunk group are busy, the user hears a tone and LCR
proceeds to the next trunk group(Each group is searched twice before the
tone is issued 
) If no trunks are available in any trunk group, the user can
dial “2” to have the DBS 824 call back when a trunk becomes...
