3To program Special Tables l-3, it is necessary to associate an area code to the table.
This is done by pressing the appropriate AREA CODE TABLE button and assign the area
code.
Special Table 4 is reserved for the home area code and does not require
an area code entry.
4To display entries in any of the tables, press the DISPLAY TABLES button (FLASH 70,
Button 
#12). Entries in the Allow/Deny tables display two at a time. Entries in the Special
tables display 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.

sent the call to the Special Table.
Allow Table
Programming Steps
1Press the ALLOW TABLE A or ALLOW TABLE B flexible button(FLASH 70, Button #lor 
#3). The following message is shown on the display telephone:
ALLOW TABLE A01E02EThe first two bin locations display.
2Enter the 2-digit bin number (01-20) of the bin to be programmed.
It is recommended that:
+Bin 17 be reserved for an entry that references SPECIAL TABLE 1
oBin 18 be reserved for an entry that references SPECIAL TABLE ‘2
QBin 19 be reserved for an entry that references SPECIAL TABLE 3
oBin 20 be reserved for an entry that references the Home Area Code Table, SPECIAL TABLE 4.
3Enter the Allow Code.
Where:
[O-9], [%I, [#] = Corresponding allow digits (numbers)
MUTE = Do Not Care digit (D)
TRANS = Search Special Table (S)
4Press the HOLD button to save the entry. Confirmation tone is heard and the display
now updates.
5When all entries for one table are complete, press the flexible button for the next table.
To erase a bin:
1Enter the 2-digit bin number.
2Press the HOLD button.
Description
Each Allow Table contains 20 bin numbers. Each bin number may be up to 8 digits, including Do Not 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 [ 1 555 1212] is allowed but [l +I numbers are denied, by an entry into the Deny Table, [l 555
I2 
121 is entered into the Allow Table as an allowed number.
+Allow Table A is referenced and searched first (before Deny Table A) when Station COS is 2 and CO
Line COS is either 1 or 2.
oAllow Table B is referenced and looked at first (before Deny Table B) when Station COS is 3 and CO
Line COS is either 1 or 3.
eWhen 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).
Do Not Care digits specify that the system should consider any digit dialed in that position as a match. Do
Not 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 entered in a specific manner and should always be the last
entries in the Allow Table. It is recommended 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.
The following rules apply when making entries that references the Special tables: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 are
dialed when dialing numbers to this area code (i.e., with a leading digit [I] or no leading
digit [I] 
).The entry into the Allow Table would be entered as follows:
Leading digit [I]: Enter:
[BB] [I] [XXX] 
[DDDI [Sl or,
Non-Leading [I]: Enter
WI [XXX1 PW PIWhere:
BB = Bin Number (Bins 17-19)XXX = Area Code (must match AREA-X entry)
DDD = Do Not Care digit (three entries, DND button)
[S] = Search Special Table Command
(TRANS button)
For an entry that references the Home Area Code table (Special Table 4) the entry may also be entered to
expect or not expect a leading digit 
[l]. In fact, in some cases it may be desirable to enter both of the
following entries;

If both leading digit [I] and non-leading digit 
[I] entries are made to
reference the same table, it is necessary to place the leading digit 
[I] entry
ahead of the non-leading digit 
[I] entry in the Allow Table.

entered into the Allow Table.
+Deny Table A is referenced and searched only after the Allow Table 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.
QWhen 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).
Do Not 
Care digits specify that the system should consider any digit dialed in that position as a match. Do
Not Care digits should not be entered as the last digit in an entry.
Search Special Table commands cannot be entered into the Deny tables.

3Press HOLD after every code entered. Confirmation tone is heard and the display now
updates. Multiple codes may be entered in a row. The display updates showing the first
six codes in ascending order.
Description
The Special Tables provide greater flexibility in designing a toll plan for a particular site. Each Special Table
allows entry of up to 800 
3-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 Table specifying what office codes are
allowed.
Codes can be added to the allow list or removed from the list. When a Special Table is checked for a match
to a 
3-digit code and not found, the system continues to search the next Allow/Deny Table to be checked.
The system does not return to the Allow Table which routed the call to the Special Table. By default, no
codes are on the allow list.Issue I- December 7998

							Least Cost Routing (LCR) selects the most economical programmed route for an outgoing call, When a
station user dials an outside number, the LCR feature analyzes the number and then automatically chooses
an outside line from the group that has been programmed as most economical, The LCR feature puts the
responsibility of choosing the least expensive 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 successful operation of this feature is completely dependent on the accuracy of
the programming.
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:
*:.
,’04.r,
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 Table
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 the Leading 1 table is checked with the following three digits. If the first digit dialed is not a 1,
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 
&digit table must be referenced.

							IO-2Least Cost Routing (LCR)
Introduction
If the 6-digit column is marked [yes] in the three digit table entry, the number is then checked in the 6-
digit table. There are twenty 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 is routed to a
specific route list table. This lets the system administrator 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 
(OPXs 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 
s-digit table for selecting a
route list table. The office code then goes through the same procedures as described below.
Before actually selecting a route list table, the number 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 then goes to the Route List 
table as specified by either the
j-digit or 
6-digit table.
The time-of-day and day-of-week is determined and the call is presented to the corresponding time period
route within the specified route table. Each of the 16 Route tables contain four time-sensitive routes,
Routes are determined 
by the time-of-day and day-of-week as specified in the Daily Start Time table and the
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 reached with a priority assignment lower than the station’s LCR
Class of Service assignment. When a line is available the system seizes that line and waits 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 station,
f; ..: ‘.,I~::;~:M
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 hear confirmation tone which indicates that an automatic LCR
Queue Callback has been activated on the first choice line group. When a CO line becomes available 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 the number.
