MANUAL VERSION 11.0 – May 2008
Dial Rule #5 – Echo Account Code: This non-programmable dial rule causes the
system to dial the account code that is associated with the call, when it is avail-
able. The account code can be entered using any of the account code types, includ-
ing All Calls Following, as long as the system receives the account code before
the end of dialing. (To use an optional account code, the code must be entered
before the number is dialed.)
Dial Rule #6 – Echo Extension Number: This non-programmable dial rule tells the
system to include the extension number of the station or Voice Processing applica-
tion that is being used to place the call.
Dial Rule #7 – Add #: This dial rule adds a pound [hash] (#) to the number dialed.
This dial rule can be programmed.
Checks the dialed number and matches the dialing pattern to a route group: The
system checks the route groups in numerical order and selects the first group that
applies to the dialing pattern of the number that was dialed.
NOTE:
If the Emergency Call feature is programmed to use ARS, the emergency calls
will always go through Route Group 1, regardless of route group programming.
Selects a facility group: If all of the trunks are busy, and the station is enabled for ARS
camp on, the call will camp on to the facility group until a trunk is available.
Checks for toll restrictions and outgoing access: Before the number is modified by
the facility group's dial rules, the system checks the station toll restrictions and outgo-
ing access to determine whether the call is allowed. (All calls placed using ARS are toll
restricted, regardless of whether the selected trunk is subject to toll restriction. How-
ever, Emergency Call feature calls are never toll restricted.) If allowed, the system con-
tinues to the next step. If not allowed, the system sends reorder tones and the call is not
placed.
Adds or deletes digits according to the facility group chosen: Each facility group has
a programmed set of dial rules that tells the system what to dial. For example, with a
U.S. system, if the selected route group requires that the number contain "1" but no area
code, the dial rules include the 1 and drop the area code; with a European system, if the
selected route group requires that the number contain a toll field, the dial rules include
the toll field.
Dials the modified telephone number: If the number is allowed, the system seizes an
idle trunk in one of the selected trunk groups, waits for the Dialing Wait After Connect
timer to expire, and then dials the number.
