ACS (Alternative Carrier Selection)

If the system is configured for ACS (Alternative Carrier
Selection), the route/destination for the call can also be
defined, regardless of what the user may choose. This
feature allows you to choose the carrier that offers the
best rates at the specified calling time or to select a de-
fault carrier for all calls, assuming that the rules regard-
ing carrier selection are properly defined.
The first digits of the number dialed by the user are an-
alyzed by the system. If they match the Conversion
Rule, they will be replaced with the default number
specified by that rule. The route/destination can also be
preset. There is no field available to specify a carrier.
The carrier code must be included in the conversion
rule.
Different conversion rules can be applied to the same
number, depending on the time of day and day of the
week. It is possible to define a maximum of 100 conver-
sion rules.
A dialing rule may change if it is configured for
using the Overflow option.
Example: Number dialed: 262 XXXX
