Automatic Route Selection (Ars) - Panasonic KX-TD816 Features Manual

General Features

Automatic Route Selection (ARS)

Description
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is a system programmable feature that automatically selects
the least expensive route available at the time an outgoing outside call is made.
Preprogramming eliminates dialing the access code of the least expensive carrier. All the user
has to do is dial the feature number for ARS, and the number. The appropriate outside line
group is selected and the access code is added before the number is outpulsed.
The software contained in Automatic Route Selection (ARS) to allow user access to the
network must be upgraded to recognize newly established network area codes and exchange
codes as they are placed into service.
Failure to upgrade the premises systems or peripheral equipment to recognize the new codes
as they are established will restrict the customer and the customer's employees from gaining
access to the network and to these codes.
Programming Example
The following is an example to show how to program ARS so that the user can call the XYZ
Company via the least expensive line.
1.
Program ARS to work when the feature number for ARS is dialed by the user. Use the
program [312] ARS Mode to enable the feature.
2.
Store the telephone number of the outside party that will use the ARS feature. For example,
if XYZ Company's telephone number is "1-234-567-8910" (not including the line access
code), store the leading digits of the number "1234567890" (max. 10 digits). To store the
numbers, use one of the programs [314] through [321] ARS Leading Digit Entry for Plans
1 through 8 (Leading Digit Tables 1 through 8). The following assumes that we have
selected Leading Digit Table 1 to store the number. Remember that Table number 1 matches
Route Plan Table 1.
