							1.9 Automatic Route Selection (ARS) Features
82 Feature Guide
Conditions
WARNINGThe software contained in the ARS feature to allow user access to the network must be 
upgraded to recognize newly established network area codes and exchange codes as 
they are placed into service.
Failure to upgrade the premises PBXs or peripheral equipment to recognize the new 
codes as they are established will restrict the customer and the customer’s employees 
from gaining access to the network and to these codes.
KEEP THE SOFTWARE UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LATEST DATA.
Logging Outgoing Calls by SMDR
Whether SMDR logs the user-dialed number or the ARS-modified number is determined 
through system programming. (  1.21.1 Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR))
ARS Data Import/Export
ARS tables and data can be copied to and from the PBX and a PC using the KX-TAW848 
Maintenance Console software. Files are saved in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. 
Because of the large amounts of programming that may be necessary to use ARS 
effectively, you may choose to export ARS tables and data to a PC, edit them using the 
software of your choosing, then import the new data to the PBX. This is particularly 
convenient if you need to update your ARS tables for new area codes or telephone rates, 
or when you’d like to copy ARS tables from one PBX to another.
TRS
Toll Restriction (TRS) checks are performed before ARS number modification, so program 
TRS Denied Code Tables and Exception Code Tables accordingly. (  1.8.1 Toll 
Restriction (TRS))
When ARS Routing Takes Place
ARS routing takes place after the preprogrammed number of digits (leading number + 
additional number of digits) have been dialed.

Terminate mode) or Terminate button (Terminate mode) to disconnect the current call and 
originate another call without hanging up.
Flash/Recall Mode: Disconnects the line and the extension user hears the dial tone from the

1.10.7 CO Line Call Limitation
Description
CO Line calls are limited by the following features:
Conditions
During an Unattended Conference Call, the Unattended Conference Recall time is 
applied. (  1.13.1.2 Conference)Feature Description
Extension-to-CO Line 
Call DurationIf a call between an extension user and an outside party is 
established, the call duration can be restricted by the system 
timer selected for each CO line group (  Extension-to-CO Line 
Call Duration [472]). Both parties will hear an alarm tone 15 
seconds before the timer expires, at five-second intervals. If the 
timer expires, the line will be disconnected.
Class of Service (COS) programming determines whether this 
feature is enabled or disabled (  CO Line Call Duration 
Limitation [502]). Whether this feature is applied to outgoing 
calls only or to both incoming and outgoing calls is also 
programmable.
CO-to-CO Line Call 
(except Unattended 
Conference Call) 
DurationIf a call between two outside parties is established, the call 
duration can be restricted by the system timer selected for each 
CO line group (  CO-to-CO Line Call Duration [473]). Both 
parties will hear an alarm tone 15 seconds before the timer 
expires at five-second intervals. If the timer expires, the line will 
be disconnected. 
This timer applies to CO line calls which are made via the PBX. 
If both calls are made by the extension (such as a CO line call 
made by an extension is transferred to an outside party), the 
shorter timer will apply to the call. 
Dialing Digit Restriction 
during ConversationWhile engaged on a received CO line call, the dialing of digits 
can be restricted. If the number of dialed digits exceeds the 
limitation, the line will be disconnected.

1.10.8 Paralleled Telephone
Description
By connecting telephones in parallel, you can increase the number of telephones connected 
to the PBX without adding additional extension cards.
Both wired and wireless telephones can be connected in parallel. Single line telephones (SLTs) 
and analog proprietary telephones (APTs) can be connected to other telephones or 
connectors, allowing two telephones to be connected to the PBX through just one extension 
port. Additionally, portable stations (PSs) can be linked to other telephones wirelessly and be 
used as a paired extension.
The different type of parallel connections are described below.
Conditions
[APT + SLT]
If one telephone goes off-hook while the other is on a call, a three-party call is established. 
If one user goes on-hook, the other user continues the call.
An extension user cannot originate a call from the SLT if the APT is: Features Descriptions Connections
Parallel 
ModeAllows an SLT to be connected to an APT which 
is connected to a preinstalled hybrid port of the 
PBX.
When the two telephones are connected in 
parallel mode: 
Both share one extension number 
(APT’s extension number).
Either telephone can make or answer 
calls.

connection, refer to the Wireless XDP Parallel

1.10.9 Calling Party Control (CPC) Signal Detection
Description
The Calling Party Control (CPC) signal is an on-hook indication (disconnect signal) sent from 
a CO line when the other party hangs up. To maintain efficient utilization of CO lines, the PBX 
monitors each line’s status and when CPC signal is detected on a line, the PBX disconnects 
the line and alerts the extension with a reorder tone.
Conditions
CPC signal detection is programmable for incoming CO line calls (  LCOT CPC Signal 
Detection Time—Incoming [414]), and for outgoing CO line calls (  LCOT CPC Signal 
Detection Time—Outgoing [413]).
If your telephone company sends signals similar to CPC, it is recommended not to enable 
CPC signal detection on outgoing CO line calls.
If CPC signal is detected during a conference call (  1.13.1.2 Conference), the line is 
disconnected. The remaining parties stay connected.
If CPC signal is detected during a call between a caller using the Direct Inward System 
Access (DISA) feature (  1.15.6 Direct Inward System Access (DISA)) and an extension 
or an outside party, the line is disconnected.

1.11 Transferring Features
1.11.1 Call Transfer
Description
An extension user can transfer a call to another extension or an outside party. The following 
features are available:
Call Transfer with Announcement is also known as Call Transfer—Screened.
Call Transfer without Announcement is also known as Call Transfer—Unscreened.
Conditions
If Music on Hold is enabled, music can be sent to the held party while the call is being 
transferred. (  1.12.4 Music on Hold) It is programmable whether a ringback tone or 
music is sent to the caller. (  Music for Transfer [712])
If the transfer destination extension has set FWD to an outside party, the call will be 
transferred to the outside party. (  1.3.1.2 Call Forwarding (FWD))
Class of Service (COS) programming determines the extensions that are able to transfer 
a call to an outside party (  Call Transfer to CO Line [503]). 
Transfer Recall for Call Transfer without Announcement
If the transfer destination does not answer within the preprogrammed Transfer Recall time 
(  Transfer Recall Time [201]), the call will be redirected to the Transfer Recall destination 
assigned to the extension which transferred the call. If a Transfer Recall destination is not 
assigned, the call will return to the extension.
