Programming Steps
If the system is in the programming mode, continue
using the program codes. If starting to program here,enter the programming mode. Refer to Sec. 600.2,
Program Mode Entry (Key Station).
To program the system for Least Cost Routing:
1. Press FLASH and dial 
[75]. The following
message is shown on the display phone:
2. There are eight tables which can be pro-
grammed here for LCR (you must also pro-
gram LCR Class of Service in Station
Programming). Use the procedures listed be-
low to program these LCR tables.
It is extremely important that the worksheets be
completed before programming the 
LCR tables.Description
This feature is available with optional software.
The Least Cost Routing (LCR) feature allows for the
automatic selection of the most economical trunk
according to the number dialed and the time of day
and day of the week. There are eight different tables
which are set up to monitor the dialing of digits of a
station and to select the best route programmed for
the call.These tables are: -.

3-Digit Area/Office Code TableProgramming Steps
1.Press 3-DIGIT TABLE flexible button (Button
# 1). The following message will be shown on
the display phone:
Where:
-L = [0] for non leading 1 (,,I ” not dialed)
[1] for leading 
I(“1 ” is dialed)
- NNN = area/office code
-RR = route list number 00-l 5
- Y = [0] do not go to 6-Digit table
[1] go to 6-Digit table
-PP = number of digits expected to be dialed.2. Press the HOLD button to save the entry.
Confirmation tone is heard and the display willnow update.Description
3-Digit Area/Office Code Table. This table is di-
vided-into two sections 
- Leading 1 (a [1] is dialed
before the number) and Non Leading 1 (no 
[l] is
dialed before the number). This gives the system the
ability to handle call routing in areas that require a
[I] before a long distance number, as well as in areasthat do not require the 
[l].Both of these tables include all area codes 
(NPA’s),and office codes 
(NXX’s), from 000 to 999, including
such numbers as 911,411, etc. Acomplete entry intothese tables include a route list table to be used, if
the 6-Digit Table is to be checked and the number of
digits likely to be dialed (example 7 digits or 10
digits).All local office codes must be entered in this table
even if they do not require long distance calling.
The number of digits to expect entry will aid the
system in identifying when the last digit is dialed andto begin routing the call. This also helps to free SLT
DTMF receivers if SLT traffic in the system is heavy.
For international calls, use 
“00” as number of digits
to expect. This causes the system to wait five sec-
onds after user dials last digit before the system
accesses a CO line and dials out.

6-Digit OfFice Code Table. This table is used to
determine a route for one or a group of individual
office codes within an area code. Certain office
codes within an area code can be given unique or
special routing. If the office code dialed is not found
in the 
6-Digit Office Code Table, the call is then
routed according to the route list table as was en-
tered in the 3-Digit Table.
The system allows for 20 
s-digit hrealoffice code
tables that may be used to route specific office codeswithin an area code. Each table will route calls for a
common area code to a specified route. All entries
made into a table will route those office codes to the
specified route list table. An area code may be
entered into more than one 
6-Digit table with differ-
ent routes specified.

Route List Table. Up to 16 different Route list tablescan be programmed. Each route list table contains
four time period routing lists, one for each of the
available (four) daily start time periods. Within each
time period route list up to seven CO (outside) line
groups and their corresponding Insert/Delete Table
if any and LCR class of service priority are pro-
grammed on a per line group basis.
When routing a CO call through LCR, CO Line
groups are accessed in sequence so that the first
line group entered represents the least costly (and
first selected) and the last line group entered repre-
sents the most costly (and last selected).The Route List Table references many other tables
when processing a call for routing. First of all, the
Daily start time table is referenced to determined
what start time entry should be checked in the
weekly schedule table. The corresponding entry in
the weekly schedule table depending on the day of
the week then determines which Time Period Route
list should be used within the Route List Table.
The system then begins to check for idle lines in the
first entered CO line group and will proceed until an
idle line is found. While it is searching for an idle CO
line the Station LCR COS is checked against the
entries for LCR COS Priority of the specific CO line
groups (see LCR COS Priority explanation below).
Once an idle CO line is found with a LCR priority
equal to or higher than the stations LCR COS then
a final check is made to determine if an Insert/Deletetable should be referenced. Once all of the tables
and entries are checked the system then processes
the call on the outside CO line.
Make sure you have made entries into all

insert/Delete Table. Digits can be either added or
deleted when dialing a number. For instance, if a
user dials a long distance call that should be placed
on a foreign exchange (FX) line, the digit [I] and the
three-digit area code (NPA) dialed by the user must
be deleted before the call can be placed on that 
FXline. An Insert/Delete Table can be programmed to
do this. Digits can also be added to a number that
has been dialed by the user.‘ For 
.instance, Other
Common Carrier (OCC) access codes and authori-
zation (ID) codes can be automatically inserted by
the system either in front of and/or behind the num-
ber dialed.
There are 20 Insert/Delete Tables and each table
allows for entries into a delete table and a pre and
post insert table. Up to 40-digits (including pauses)
can be inserted 20-pre and 20-post) and up to 
16-digits can be deleted. Digits can be inserted before
or after the number dialed but can be deleted only
from the start of the number dialed.

Daily Start Time Table. The daily start time table isused to correlate the LCR routing. 
table.to the time
sensitive discount structure offered by the custom-
ers carrier. For example in the most common situ-
ation the most expensive rate period is between 8:00
am and 
500 pm, often called the day rate. The first
discount period usually starts at 
500 pm and- runs
until 
11:OO pm, often called Evening Rates. The
remaining time (from 
1l:OO pm until 8:00 am) in this
example is referred to as night time rates which
usually has the biggest discount. With the wide
selection of Common Carriers the least costly route
for a particular area code may be different at different
times of the day. To accommodate this situation, thistable and the Weekly Schedule Table work together,
dividing the day into four possible time periods. By
default these tables are set at the standard divisions
of 
8AM, 5PM, and 11 PM. However, these times can
be changed.

within the.Route List Table. When a call is placed
and ultimately sent to a route 
li’st (call is not denied)
based on the time of day the call is placed the Daily
Start Time Table selects the time period to reference
in the weekly schedule table. The time period route
entered for the specified time period, as determined
in the daily start time table and based on the day of
week, is then selected and the call will be routed
according to the specified time period route list.
Example:
- If a call is placed at 545 pm on a Monday
then according to the daily start time table
(using default values) the entry for time
period two of the weekly schedule is
checked. Because it is Monday the entry fortime period two on Monday is used and the
result is that the Time Period Route List
