ACS

With ACS (Alternative carrier selection) the system can
be set to use a specific carrier regardless of user's se-
lection. This feature is very useful for selecting the car-
rier that offers the best rates at the time of call or for
setting the system to use one operator only. This is
done by properly defining the rules.
The first digits of the number selected by the user will
be analyzed by the system and if they are part of the
Conversion rules, they will be replaced by the numbers
predefined in the rule. You can also preset the route/
destination to be used. 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.
Example: Number dialed: 262 XXXX
Conversion Rules:
Index Number
Selected
01 267
02 262
The number that will be selected by the system is
341XXXX using destination 801. If this route/destination
is busy, the overflow option will be route/destination
803. You may insert pauses in the Conversion rules
(Consult the HiPath 1100 Manager help file).
Required: This feature must be configured for the sys-
tem by using the HiPath 1100 Manager.

[1] ACS does not affect emergency numbers when the user dials di-
rectly.
When a rule uses the overflow option, it may or may not change
the dialing rule.
Settings must be configured on the HiPath 1100 Manager.
