Preparing to Administer ARS Tables
Use the Forms for Automatic Route Selection Tables provided in the Appendix to set
up ARS tables for your business, if you haven't done so already. It's important to
prepare these tables carefully so that your business gains the maximum benefit from
ARS. If you have a printer connected to your system, you can printout the ARS tables
as you administer them, to serve a worksheets and for future reference.
Follow the procedures below to enter the information on your ARS tables into the
MERLIN system.
REMEMBER: When you set up your control unit, you set switches F and G to the
correct positions for ARS. Before you begin to administer ARS, make sure that switch
F on the control unit is set to Pooled (up) and switch G on the control unit is set to
Dial Access (up). If these switches aren't set correctly for ARS, read "Changing Your
System Later," page 27, before you change any settings. Changing switch settings
affects your entire MERLIN system.
Administering Area Code/Exchange Sections of ARS Tables
To administer the Area Code/Exchange sections of Tables 0 through 7, follow the pro-
cedure below. If you want to use different line pools for calls to different exchanges
within the same area code, you can make as many of these tables as you choose
6-digit tables.
Tables 8 and 9 have no Area Code/Exchange sections for you to administer since
they are default tables used in calling all area codes and exchanges not specified
in the other tables. You cannot change the entries in the Area Code/Exchange sec-
tion of the Special Numbers Table.
1. If you haven't already done so, enter administration mode by following the
boxed instructions on page 28.
2. Touch Adm Misc.
The lights next to the administration mode buttons stop flashing and the green
light next to Adm Misc becomes steady.
3. To specify how man y of your ARS tables should be 6-digit rather than 3-digit
tables, dial #305, then the number of tables (0 through 8) that should be 6-digit
tables.
If you enter:
#3050
#3051
#3052
#3053
#3054
#3035
#3036
#3037
#3038
You can skip this step if you're setting up a new system and don't need any
6-digit table.
These tables are 6-digit:
None
Table 0 only
Tables 0 and 1
Tables 0, 1, and 2
Tables 0 through 3
Tables 0 through 4
Tables 0 through 5
Tables 0 through 6
Tables 0 through 7
