Automatic Route Selection
(ARS)
Description
Automatic
Route Selection CARS) is a system programmable
feature that automatically selects the least expensive route available
at the time an outgoing CO call is made. Previous programming
eliminates the necessity for the user to dial the access code of the
least expensive carrier. All the user has to do is to dial the feature
number for ARS, and the number. The appropriate CO line group
is selected and an appropriate access code is added before the
number is outpulsed.
Conditions
Toll Restriction check is done before ARS is applied.
ARS works according to the selected dialing plan. Thus, if the user-
dialed number is not found in the dialing plan (Leading Digit Tables).
the dialed number is sent out with Local Access (Automatic line access)
Code.
ARS is not applied to a call made by specifying a CO line group. In
other words. it is possible to make a CO call by assigning a CO line
group directly (ARS Override).
This feature also applies to Call Forwarding - to CO Line.

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.
Step
1. Program ARS to work when the feature number for ARS is
dialed by the user. Use the program [3 121 ARS Mode to enable it.
Step
2. Store the telephone number of an outside party that will use the
ARS feature. For example, if the XYZ Company's telephone number is
"1-234-567-8910" (not including the line access code), store the leading
digits of the number *'I 234567" (max. 10 digits). To store the numbers,
use one of the programs [3 141 through [321] ARS Leading Digit Entry
