Introduction

Automatic route selection
Automatic route selection (ARS) routes outgoing calls to a certain line hunt
group depending on the leading digits. It can also prefix phone numbers
with certain carrier codes depending on the leading digits and time of day.
This way calls can use specific telephone lines, alternative carriers, or VoIP
lines, for least-cost routing. For example, ARS can route international calls to
a VoIP service provider; national calls to an alternative carrier offering a
discounted calling plan; and calls to cellular phones on a telephone line that
is connected to a fixed wireless terminal for cellular-to-cellular calling.
If the user dials a line hunt group number, ARS can override the selection
and use a different line hunt group depending on the leading digits.
