propriate Table button and enter information
as outlined in the following procedures.
3. To program Special Tables 1-3, it is neces-
sary to associate an area code to the table.
This is done by pressing the appropriate
“APEA-CODE TBL” button and assign the
area code.
Speciai Table 4 is reserved for the home area 1
code and does not require an area code entry.
4.To display entries in any of the tables, press
the DISPLAY TABLES button (button 
#12).Entries in the allow/deny tables will display
two at a time. Entries in the special tables willbe displayed six at a time in ascending order.Description
All toll tables have been conveniently placed under
one program code to allow entry of all toll restriction
data.The buttons on the digital terminal are defined as
shown below when entering the Toll Restriction pro-
gramming area.

bles, the entries are checked starting with Bin 01 andproceeding sequentially through the table to the last
bin. In addition The allow table is always searched
before looking at the deny table. Therefore the order
of entry is important. Entries that are specific (i.e. [I
7161) should be placed ahead of entries that are
more general (usually include “Don’t Care” digits i.e.
[I 
“D” 11).Once a match is found, in the allow table, that
references a special table the number dialed will be
checked for an allowed code in the special table. If
a match is not found in the special table the system
will continue to check for a match in the next allow
or deny table that is to be checked. The system will
not return to the table that sent the call to the special
table.660-4

B.Allow Table ProgrammingProgramming Steps
1.Press the ALLOW TABLE A or ALLOW TA-
BLE B flexible button (Button 
#1 or #3). The
following message is shown on the display
telephone:
The first two bins locations are displayed.
2.Enter the two-digit bin number (01-20) of the
bin to be programmed.
It is recommended that: Bin 
f7 be reserved for
an entry mat will reference special table number
1; 
Bin 18 be resewed for an. en&y that will
reference special table number 2; Bin 19 bereserwzd for tefemncing special table number 3;I 2Ube reserved for referencing the Home areacook table, special table number 4.
3.Enter the allow code:
where:
- 0 to 9, *,# = corresponding allow digits
(numbers)
- MUTE = Don’t Care digit (‘VI”)
- TRANS = search special table (“S”)4. Press the HOLD button to save the entry.
Confirmation tone is heard and the display will
now update.
5.When all entries for one table are complete,
press the flexible button for the next tabie.
The following rules should be applied when making
entries that will reference the special tables:
1.For entries referencing the first three special
tables a specific area code must be identified
(one for each table needed). Then make note
as to how the numbers will be dialed when
dialing numbers to this area code (i.e. with a
leading digit 
[l] or no leading digit [l]). The
entry into the allow table would be entered as
follows:Leading digit 
[l]: enter 6B 1 XXX DDD {S) or
Non Leading 
[l]: enter BB XXX DDD {S}
Where:
- BB = Bin number (recommended 17-l 9)
- XXX = Area code (must match AREA-X
entry)
- DDD = “Don’t Care” digit (three entries,
DND button)Description
Allow Table 
- Each Allow table contains 20 bin
numbers. Each bin number may be up to eight-digits
in length including {Don’t Care} digits and {Search
Special Table} commands. Entries into the allow
table represent exceptions to numbers or codes that
are to be allowed only if they would otherwise be
restricted by an entry in the deny table. For example
if [I 555 
12121 is to be allowed but [l +] numbers are
denied, by an entry into the deny table, then 
[l 555
12121 should be entered into the allow table as an
allowed number.
Allow table A is referenced and searched
first (before the deny table A) when Station
COS is 2 and CO line COS is either 1 or 2.
Allow table B is referenced and looked at
first (before the deny table B) when Station
COS is 3 and CO line COS is either 1 or 3.
When station COS is 4 and CO line COS is
1 both allow tables are looked at first (allow
table A first then allow table B) then both
deny tables (deny table A first then deny
table B).Don’t Care digits specify that the system should
consider any digit dialed in that position as a match.
Don’t Care digits should not be entered as the last
digit in an entry, as this would be an unnecessary or
meaningless command.
Search Special Table commands must be enteredin a specific manner and should always be placed
as the last entries in the Allow table. It is recom-
mended that the last four bins (17-20) in the allow
table be reserved for referencing the four special
tables with the reference to the home area code
(special table 4) always being located in bin number
20. Search Special table commands can only be
entered into the allow tables.
To erase a bin, enter the two-digit bin number follow-
ing by pressing the HOLD button.

a leading digit [l]. In fact in some cases it maybe desirable to enter both of the following
entries;
Leading digit [I]: enter

5.When all entries for one table are complete,
press the flexible button for the next table.Description
Deny Table 
- Each Deny table contains ten bin
numbers. Each bin nymber may be up to eight -digitsin length including {Don’t Care} digits. Entries in the
deny table represent numbers or codes that are to
be denied or restricted. Common entries would be
[l] for restricting all [l+] type of calls. Exceptions to
this restriction would be 
enjered into the allow table.
Deny table A is referenced and searched
only after the allow tabie A is checked when
Station COS is 2 and CO line COS is either
1 or 2.Deny table B is referenced and searched
only after the allow table B is checked when
Station COS is 3 and CO line COS is either
1 or 3.
When station COS is 4 and CO line COS is1 both allow tables are looked at first (allow
table A first then allow table B) then both
deny tables (deny table A first then deny
table B).
Don’t Care digits specify that the system should
consider any digit dialed in that position as a match.
Don’t Care digits should not be entered as the last
digit in an entry.Search Special table commands can not be entered
into the Deny tables.
To erase a bin, enter the two-digit bin number fol-
lowed by pressing the HOLD button.

D. Speciai Table Programming
Programming Steps
To program a special table, it is first necessary to
assign an area.code to the table (except for the homearea code).
To assign an area code to a special table:
1.Press the appropriate AREA CODE TABLE
(l-4) flexible button (button 
#9-l 1). The fol-
lowing message is shown on the display
phone:
2.Enter the three-digit area code.
3. Press the HOLD button to save the entry.
Confirmation tone is heard and the display willnow update.
To enter office codes into the special table:
4.Press the SPECIAL TABLE (l-4) flexible but-
ton (button 
#5 - #8) that corresponds to the
area code programmed above. The following
message is shown on the display phone:
,Where:
- XXX = Area Code
5.Enter the three-digit office codes that are to
be allowed followed by a [I] which means to
allow 
this code. To remove a code from the
allow list enter the three-digit office code fol-
lowed by a [0] which will remove the code fromthe allow list.
- XXX [I] = Allow code
- XXX [0] = Remove code from the list
Where XXX 
= an office code from 200 to 999.
6.Press HOLD after every code entered. Con-
firmation tone is heard and the display will
now update. Multiple codes may be entered
in a row. The display will update showing the
first six codes in ascending order.
DescriptionThe special tables provide greater flexibility in de-
signing a toll plan for a particular site. Each special
table allows entry of up to 800 three-digit office codes(200 
- 999). Three of these tables must be assigned
an area code by which they are referenced. The
fourth table is reserved for the home area code and
requires no area code entry.
The special tables are referenced through entries in
the allow tables. Four area codes, including the
home area code, can be referenced to these special
tables for further definition. When a special table is
referenced, entries must be made in the special tablespecifying what office codes will be allowed. By
default no codes are on the allow list.
Codes can be added to the allow list or removed from
the list. When a special table is checked for a match,to a three digit code, but not found the system will
then continue to search the next allow deny table thatis to be checked. The system does not return to the
allow table which routed the call to the special table.
The buttons on the digital terminal are defined as
shown below when entering the Special Table pro-
gramming area.

LEAST COST 
ROUTlNG (LCR) PROGRAMMING
665.1INTRODUCTION
This feature is available with optional 
software.
Least Cost Routing (LCR) selects the most economi-cal programmed route for an outgoing call. When a
station user dials an outside number, the LCR fea-
ture analyzes the number and then automatically
chooses an outside line from the group that has beenprogrammed as most economical. The LCR feature
puts the responsibility of choosing the least expen-
sive route for each area code and exchange code on
the system administrator, not on the station user. In
order to make a routing decision, the LCR feature is
programmed in the system database. The success-
ful operation of this feature is completely dependent
on the accuracy of the programming. Refer to Figure
665-l LCR Flowchart for assistance.
There are eight different tables which are set up to
monitor the dialing of digits and to select the best
route for the call depending on time of day and day
of week.
These tables are:
3-Digit Area/Office Code Routing Table
6-Digit Office Code Routing Table
Exception Table
Route List Table
Insert/Delete Table
Daily Start Time Table
Weekday (Weekly) Schedule
Toll Information TableA. LCR Operation
The system first checks to see if the number dialed
is more than two digits. If it is two digits or less, the
call is processed according to instructions in the
Exception Table. If the number is not found in the
Exception Table, the call is denied.
If the number is more than two digits, it goes to the
3-Digit Table. If the first digit dialed is a 
“1 I’ the
leading 1 table will be checked with the following
three digits. If the first digit dialed is not a 
“l”, then
the first three digits are checked against the 
Non-Leading 1 
3-Digit table. The first three digits (either
office code or area code) are then checked to see if
they are in the 3-Digit Table. If they are not found
there, the call is not routed. If the digits are found in
the 
3-Digit Table, the system then checks for an
entry to see if the 
6-Digit Table must be referenced.
If the g-Digit column is marked [yes] in the three digit
table entry, the number is then checked in the 6-DigitTable.
There are 20 
6-Digit tables. Each 6-Digit table is
programmed and becomes associated to a specific
area code with a selected route. Office codes are
entered into the 
6-Digit table that will be routed to a
specific route list table. This allows the system ad-
ministrator to split area codes for routing to different
lines connected to the system. This helps when
Foreign Exchange lines (FX Lines), Banded WATS
lines, or “Dedicated” Lines 
(OPX’s from another
system) are in use.If the office code is not found in the 6-Digit Table, the
call is referred back to the 3-Digit Table for selecting
a route list table. And then goes through the same
procedures as described below.
Before actually selecting a route list table, the num-
ber is checked against the toll restriction tables
(station COS). When LCR is enabled, only station
Class of Service is referenced. CO line Class of
Service is no longer applicable. All CO lines are
considered Class of Service 1.
If the call is not allowed through the toll restriction
tables, the call is denied. If it is allowed, the call thengoes to the Route List Table as specified by either
the 
3-Digit or S-Digit table.
The Time of day and Day of week is determined and
the call is presented to the corresponding time periodroute within the specified route table. Each of the 16
Route Tables contain four time sensitive routes.
Issue 1, March 1994665-i 
						

							LEAST COST ROUTING (LCR) PROGRAMMINGSTARPLUS @ SPD 4696
Digital Key Telephone SystemRoutes are determined by the time of day and day
of week as specified in the Daily Start Time table andthe Weekly Schedule table.
After the appropriate route is selected, LCR Class of
Service becomes applicable. A station can use only
those line groups programmed with a priority number
equal to or higher than the station’s LCR Class of
Service.
If a line is not available in the first choice line group,
the system advances to the next choice line group
and searches for a free line. This process continues
until an available line is found, or the last available
line group is searched ,or until a line group is reachedwith a priority assignment lower than the station’s
LCR Class of Service assignment.
When a line is available the system will seize that
line and wait for dial tone. Then before dialing, the
system checks the Insert/Delete table for digits that
should be deleted from the front of the number or
digits that should be inserted either before or after
the number dialed. Finally the system begins to dial
the number out over the selected line. All of this
analyzing and manipulation of the number takes only
a fraction of a second from the time the station user
begins to dial until the number is dialed out over the
public network lines.
If no lines are available in any of the CO line groups
programmed for that route and allowed to that sta-
tion, the call can be automatically queued on to the
first choice (least costly) line group. If the user waits
three seconds after dialing the number, they will hearconfirmation tone which indicates that an automatic
LCR Queue Callback has been activated on the first
choice line group. When a CO line becomes avail-
able in the first choice line group the system will ring
the calling station. When answered by the station the
system will automatically seize the line and 
redial thenumber.
