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.

Pool routes must be programmed before you assign digit absorption.
In Release 6.0 and later systems, where remote users will dial out via
private network lines, absorbed digits are often useful. For example, if
remote callers are in the 908 area code but your system is in the 617
area code, callers might dial 916175551212, where 9 is the remote
ARS access code. Because the call is a local call on the remote system,
the absorbed digits on that system would be 1617.
