Automatic Route Selection
Digit Absorption
Use this procedure to specify how many of the digits dialed (0 through 11) by
the caller should be absorbed (not sent to the telephone company's central
office) by the system when a call is made on an identified route.
Entries of 1 through 11 indicate that the system should not send the specified
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.
NOTE:
Pool routes must be programmed before you assign digit absorption.
