1.9 Automatic Route Selection (ARS) Features
Conditions
WARNING
The software contained in the ARS feature to allow user access to the network must be upgraded to
recognize newly established network area codes and exchange codes as they are placed into
service.
Failure to upgrade the premises PBXs or peripheral equipment to recognize the new codes as they
are established will restrict the customer and the customer's employees from gaining access to the
network and to these codes.
KEEP THE SOFTWARE UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LATEST DATA.
• Logging Outgoing Calls by SMDR
Whether SMDR logs the user-dialed number or the ARS-modified number is determined through
system programming. (→ 1.21.1 Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR))
• ARS Data Import/Export
ARS tables and data can be copied to and from the PBX and a PC using the KX-TDA50 Maintenance
Console software. Files are saved in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. Because of the large
amounts of programming that may be necessary to use ARS effectively, you may choose to export ARS
tables and data to a PC, edit them using the software of your choosing, then import the new data to the
PBX. This is particularly convenient if you need to update your ARS tables for new area codes or
telephone rates, or when you'd like to copy ARS tables from one PBX to another.
• TRS
Toll Restriction (TRS) checks are performed before ARS number modification, so program TRS Denied
Code Tables and Exception Code Tables accordingly. (→ 1.8.1 Toll Restriction (TRS))
• When ARS Routing Takes Place
ARS routing takes place after the preprogrammed number of digits (leading number + additional
number of digits) have been dialed.
