Grouping Destination Codes Using A Wild Card - Nortel BCM50 Configuration Manual

Grouping destination codes using a wild card

If you have a number of destinations that have the same route and digit absorb length, you can
group these codes under one destination code to maximize your destination code table. In this case,
the start digits will be the same, but the last character will be the wild card, and indicates any digit
between 0 and 9. However, if a conflict exists with other digits already programmed or used by
other destination codes, an error message appears.
For instance, you might use the same route (555) to a number of remote sites. Each site is accessed
with the same external # (dial out string), except for the last digit, which is unique to each site.
The exception to this is a site with a totally different access number and line pool requirement
(route 565). This example is shown in
Table 44 Establishing routes and dialout requirements
Route
555
565
If you do not use wild cards, you would need to create a separate destination code for each unique
dialout, as shown in
Table 45 Destination codes not using a wild card

If you use the wild card character A (ANY), you can reduce the number of destination codes you
require to two, as shown in
Table 46 Destination codes using the ANY character
