Toll Restriction
Program 48 Overview
This program assigns a combination of Digit Restriction and Station Restriction to each station 
port defined in the system. 
Digit Restriction
If Digit Restriction is enabled for a particular station, the station is able to dial the number of digits 
defined in the Program 45-1 Toll Restriction dialing plan.
©Enter 1 in the Digit Restriction column to enable Digit Restriction for the selected station. This 
prevents a user from dialing a second call when dial tone is returned from a CO after the 
outside party disconnects. 
©Enter 0 in the Digit Restriction column to disable Digit Restriction for the selected station. 
This allows toll restricted users to dial any number of digits (e.g., to an external voice mail 
device, computer, etc.).
©In systems prior to the DK280 Release 3.1 and in DK40i, digit restriction is always applied to 
restricted stations after dialing a number using system speed dial. With DK424 RCTU PCBs, 
digit restriction after dialing a number using system speed dial will only be applied to stations 
with digit restriction (Code 1) in this program.
Station Restriction
Station Restriction assigns Toll Restriction to individual station ports, in addition to previous 
restrictions. It includes eleven different choices (described below). One of the choices must be 
entered for each port. Station restrictions are overridden by lines disabled as defined in Program 
45-2. If a station port has appearance of a line with restrictions disabled, the restrictions will be 
removed from the station on an individual line basis through Program 45-2.
Enter one of the following codes in the Station Restriction column:
EnterFunctionDescription

01Area Code Toll Restriction This restricts a station from dialing all area codes.

Area Code Toll Restriction and “0” or “1” 
as a first or second digit (for old plan 1, 2 
or 3 or new plan 7, 8 or 9 - as defined in 
Program 45-1).This prevents the station from making any long distance calls or operator-
assisted calls, in addition to outgoing calls outside the home area code. 
In applicable areas, this prevents long distance office codes from being 
dialed (if 1+NNX). 
03  Class 1 Toll Restriction Class 1 area and office code restrictions are defined in Program 46, and 
exception office code tables in 46-10.

Least Cost Routing
Least Cost Routing5
The following provides you an overview of the Least Cost Routing (LCR) feature and step-by-step 
instructions to fill in the Least Cost Routing System record sheets. The quantities of LCR plans, 
CO line groups, etc. vary between processors. This chapter and the LCR record sheets note these 
differences when they exist.
LCR enables the system to automatically route each outgoing voice call over common carriers and 
selected lines. The customer chooses these lines for the specific time of day, and for system users 
with varying priorities. If the system is programmed properly, LCR can select the most economical 
route. If the best routes are unavailable, users with priority can access more expensive outgoing 
routes. Several elements of LCR must be defined in programming.
For LCR to function properly:
©line groups must be created in Program 16;
©line restrictions must be set in Programs 40 and 41; and
©the area dialing plan must be assigned in Program 45-1.
LCR Features
Parameters
Enables LCR features, including a warning tone for last choice route number, a comfort dial tone 
during LCR processing, and the Long Distance Information dialing plan.
Home Area Code
Notifies LCR software of the area code of the installation site.
Special Codes
Notifies LCR of special emergency and operator codes that will be automatically routed as a local 
call, without unnecessary delay.
Long Distance Information Plan Number
Notifies LCR software how to route a long distance information call.
Local Call Plan Number
Notifies LCR software which call routing plan is designed to handle local and special calls.

Timeout after 0 (Zero)
Notifies the system of the time delay to the user after dialing a 0, before a regular operator is 
accessed.
Area Code and Office Code Exceptions
Separate area code tables and office code exception tables (quantity listed below) can be defined - 
one for each available call routing plan. Each table defines the area codes that are handled by the 
particular routing plan. According to the tables defined, specific exception office codes can be 
routed through a different call plan than the overall area code plan. 
Schedule Assignments Call Routing Plans
These plans (quantity listed above) can send the outgoing calls of different groups of stations 
according to a time schedule, and call route definitions.
Route Definitions
Groups of CO lines assigned to special common carriers, foreign exchange lines, or other special 
services can be specified as call routes.
LCR Modified Digit Assignments
Carrier codes can be programmed to dial automatically when a call is placed over the appropriate 
route. Digits can be added to the front or back of special common carrier codes or other access 
numbers to make placing calls an invisible process for the user. Digits may also be deleted from 
the front of the dialed number.
LCR Station Access Priority Assignments
Each station port defined in the system may be assigned to one of four station priority groups. The 
groups can have varying access to the defined call routes at different times of day. Each group is 
partitioned from the other groups.
LCR Conditions
If a station has direct line appearances, or Pooled CO Line buttons programmed to allow direct 
outgoing line access, LCR is bypassed using the 
3RROHG/LQH or a CO /LQH button. LCR 
accommodates special code dialing, such as 911 for emergency response, 1-411 or 411 for 
information, or 800 area code toll-free numbers. These calls can be directed to the local call route 
(see Program 50-31~35).
Important!Always provide emergency service access for numbers such as 911.
Standard telephones that are Toll Restricted should be required to use LCR to place outgoing calls. 
This prevents Toll Restriction defeat when the K4RCU or RRCS times out.

2. Use Program 40 to allow CO line access to stations using LCR for outgoing calls.
3. Use Program 41 to deny outgoing CO line access, except for LCR access.
Important!Area code and office code structure must be defined by Toll Restriction Dial Plan 
for LCR to work properly.
4. Use Program 45-1 to enable the dial plan that is appropriate for the area where the LCR calls 
will originate.
5.Under the column labeled “CO Line Type/ Comments,” enter the service type, the common 
carrier name, or the line type for each line group, e.g., local line, Foreign Exchange (FX) to 
818 (LA), WATS (out of state), etc.
6. Refer to the Program 40 to restrict stations from incoming and outgoing access of lines, 
including using LCR. All stations that must use LCR to make outgoing calls must not be 
restricted in this program. These restrictions do apply to LCR.
7. Refer to Program 41, to restrict stations from accessing outgoing lines, except through LCR. 
All stations that must use LCR for outgoing calls must be restricted from line access in this 
program.

Program 50-1 Overview
This program defines general operating parameters for LCR software.
lProgram 40 denies CO line access via LCR, but denies all other access methods.
lProgram 41 allows CO line access via LCR, but denies all other outgoing access methods: 
(#7001~#7200, 801~816, Line button).
lToll Restricted standard telephones should be forced to dial outgoing calls via LCR. This is to 
prevent Toll Restriction defeat when the QRCU3, K4RCU3, K5RCU or RRCS times out.

LED Button 04: Dial Tone After LCR Access
LED 04 ON: Station users hear a simulated dial tone immediately after dialing the access LCR 
code (typically 9), until the first digit of the phone number is dialed. The dial tone is simulated to 
assure the user of the system’s proper operation, but it is not a functional dial tone.
For HMIS, set LED 04 ON.
If LED 04 is OFF, station users hear nothing after dialing the LCR access code until the destination 
rings or issues a busy signal. 
LED Button 05: Warning Tone Last Choice Route Number
LED 05 ON: The user is notified with a warning tone to indicate that LCR has routed the call over 
the least desirable route number. The most expensive route is typically programmed to be the least 
desirable. A user has three choices upon hearing the warning tone:
©Ignore the tone, LCR places the call using the least desirable route.
©Hang up and try later to save money.
©Activate the Automatic Call Back feature. The appropriate line group calls the user back when 
a more desirable route number becomes available.
LED 05 OFF: No warning tone sounds.
Program 50-2 – LCR Home Area Code
Processor Type:DK14, DK40i, All RCTUs
Program Type:Least Cost Routing
Initialized Default:Leaves the home area code blank
Program 50-2 Overview
LCR matches the area code entered here with the LCR route plan containing the home area code in 
its Area Code Table. (The home area code is later entered into one of the available LCR route 
plans through Program 51). Thus, LCR is informed of how to handle local calls.
Typically, systems are configured to have the LCR route plan containing the home area code as the 
same as the local route plan defined in Program 50-5. Typically you would program it to be Route 
Plan Number 1, rather than the default Plan 16.

Initialized Default:911 in 31, all other codes blank
Programs 50-3 (1~5) Overview
This program allows special 1~4 digit codes such as 911 to be routed over the local call route 
immediately when dialed. If Enhanced 911 (E911) is required, E911 programs should be used 
instead of this program.
You can enter five special codes in the spaces provided next to 31~35. The codes can be a 
maximum of four digits, and should include items such as 911 for emergency calls, and 411 or 
1+411 for local information, etc.
When any of these codes are dialed, LCR is flagged to treat the call as follows:
©The call is sent over the local call route plan specified in Program 50-5.
©No additional digits need to be dialed. They are not necessary. Therefore, the call is put 
through immediately.
