Only the ARS dial-out code and the dialed number are displayed.
Digits added by ARS before the dialed number and digits ignored by
ARS are not displayed. The digit 9 is replaced with OUTSIDE when
ARS selects a line.
When you dial the ARS code before the telephone number, ARS can
select the facility on which to forward calls to an outside telephone
number. The FRL for the call is that of the extension from which calls
are being forwarded.
HotLine extensions (Release 5.0 and later systems) can use the ARS
access code if it is programmed into their Personal Speed Dial number.
When Night Service with Outward Restriction is programmed, you
must enter the password before dialing the ARS dial-out code, unless
either the extension is assigned to an Exclusion List or the number is
on the Night Service Emergency Numbers List.
ARS ensures appropriate and cost-effective use of pools. ARS and the
dial-access-to-pools restriction function independently of each other. If
ARS restrictions are programmed to allow access to a pool, a user may
seize a pool that the extension is not allowed to use under existing pool
dial-access restrictions.
In Release 6.0 and later systems, ARS can be set up so that callers on
one networked system can use PRI tandem trunks or tandem tie trunks
to reach a remote system and make calls from lines/trunks that are
connected to that remote system. This can often result in cost savings.
The remote callers dial normally; remote access is invoked
transparently, and barrier codes are not required.
In releases prior to 6.0, an incoming call can access ARS only through
explicit Remote Access procedures, transferring, or Remote Call
Forwarding through ARS. A PRI line can be a member of a pool
accessed through ARS. Before ARS routes a call to a pool, it checks
whether one or more member lines in that pool are available. If not, it
selects an alternative pool so that the call is not blocked. Even if a
B-channel is available when ARS selects a pool with an available line,
there may be none available when it is time to send a setup message
to the network, or, after the setup message is sent, the network may
determine that the B-channel proposed by the system is not available.
In either case, the call fails and fast busy tone is heard.
In Release 2.0 and later systems, Recall can be used on an ARS call.
Recall cannot be used during dialing. When dialing is complete,
pressing the Recall button sends a timed flash to the host, the
accessed line is kept, the user hears outside dial tone, and calling
restrictions are reapplied.
In Release 1.0 and 1.1 systems, Recall cannot be used on an ARS call
because the call is made on an SA button.
