Automatic Route Selection
The use of ARS does not allow callers to avoid calling restrictions. The
system checks for outward or toll restrictions assigned to the extension
or barrier code before it selects the best route for making the call.
ARS and dial access to pools function independently from each other. If
ARS restrictions are programmed to allow access to a pool, the user
may seize a pool that the extension is not normally allowed to use with
pool dial access restrictions.
Digital Data Calls can be made using ARS. Terminal adapters and
desktop video systems simply dial the ARS dial out code (usually 9)
followed by the telephone number to make calls using ARS. The data
calls must be routed through ARS pools that have only PRI, NI-1 BRI,
and/or Switched 56 T1 data lines.
The LED next to a DSS button for the ARS code is always off.
System Directory and Personal Directory (MLX-20L telephones only)
numbers can include the ARS dial-out code.
ARS does not allow a caller to dial numbers on a Disallowed List
assigned to the extension.
Only the ARS dial-out code and the dialed number are displayed. Digits
added by ARS before the dialed number and digits ignored by ARS are
not displayed. The digit
line.
If Forced Account Code Entry is assigned to the extension, the caller
must enter the code before dialing the ARS dial-out code.
ARS can select the facility on which to forward calls to an outside
telephone number when the ARS code is dialed before the telephone
number. The FRL for the call is that of the extension from which calls are
being forwarded.
When Night Service with Outward Restriction is programmed, enter the
password before dialing the ARS dial-out code, unless the extension is
assigned to an Exclusion List or the number is on the Night Service
Emergency Numbers List.
Before Release 2.0, Recall could not be used to hold an outside line if
ARS was used to make the call. For Release 2.0 and later, Recall can
be used with calls made through ARS.
Remote access users can make calls using ARS by dialing into the
system, entering a barrier code if required, and dialing the ARS code
while listening to the system dial tone. Facility Restriction Levels (FRLs)
can be assigned to restrict the routes that remote callers can use. When
barrier codes are not used, FRLs are assigned to all remote access
trunks. When barrier codes are used, FRLs are assigned to individual
barrier codes.
