IP Series Installation Manual
2. After the last number, enter # # to end the list.
The IP Series system will apply the numbers you enter to their most significant digit.
Example: Entering 1 5 0 5 into the deny exception table tells the system to deny all "1+" calls
to area code 505. But entering 1 5 0 5 4 4 5 8 7 8 7 into the table tells the system to
deny "1+" calls specifically to (505) 445-8787 while allowing other "1+505" calls.
To allow information calls, enter into the allow table: 411, 1411, 5551212, 1XXX5551212 (where X
is a wild card digit, entered by using MUTE/DND). Default: None.
Function 223: ARS
Within the IP Series system, route selection is normally accomplished by assigning lines to line
groups (9, 8, or 71-76). The user then manually selects the line group for the type of call to be
made. Typically, the same carrier handles both local and long distance calls so the user will only
have to select an alternate group (8 or 71-76) for rare occasions.
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) can be enabled with or without a T1 Card. An application for non-
T1 use may be OCC (Other Common Carrier) codes or what are commonly called "PIC codes" (or
"dial-around codes"). With T1, users may want to have all long distance traffic go over their T1 and
local calls go over copper. This would eliminate the need for the end user to know which line group
(e.g., 9 for local and 8 for long distance).
With ARS enabled in this function, the system will not connect to a line immediately when the user
dials 9 (or goes off-hook with outside dial tone preference enable). Instead, the system will "play"
dial tone (false, or system) to the user, store the digits dialed, check the toll restriction tables and, if
allowed, then follow the ARS table as programmed.
The ARS function defaults to off. When enabled, the system will follow the default programming in
Tables 1 and 2: i.e., local, information and toll-free calls will be routed over Table 1 Line Group 9,
and long distance calls will be routed over Table 2 Line Group 8.
ARS always begins its search with Table 3 to determine whether custom programming is in place or
it should follow the default. Should further definition be required, Tables 3–10 are available for
custom programming. Each table can support 100 entries of 10 characters, for a total of 800 cus-
tom entries. Tables 3–10 are also where you would enter the OCC codes. Any number not matching
the custom programming will follow the default programming.
