Programming Procedures
Digit Absorption
Use this procedure to specify how many of the digits dialed (0 through 11) by
the caller should be absorbed by the system (not sent to the telephone
company's central office) when a call is made on an identified route.
NOTE:
Pool routes must be programmed before you assign digit absorption.
Values 1 through 11 indicate that the system should not send a certain number
of digits, starting with the first digit dialed by the user (after the dial-out code).
Digit absorption is assigned to Tables 1 through 18.
