Automatic Route Selection 2 - 83
Automatic Route Selection
Description
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) provides call routing and call restriction based on the digits a user
dials. ARS gives the system the most cost-effective use of the connected long distance carriers.
ARS is an on-line call routing program that you can customize (like other system options) from a display
telephone. ARS accommodates 400 call routing choices – without a custom-ordered rate structure
database. With ARS, you can modify the system routing choices quickly and easily. This is often
necessary in the telecommunication world of today where the cost structure and service choices
frequently change.
The ARS feature can add or delete digits and route calls according to predetermined levels. When
Electra Elite IPK II systems are networked together by Tie lines or K-CCIS, the networked systems can
be called by a system number and a user’s extension number, just an extension number, or by using a
trunk access code.
ARS Feature Summary
ARS provides:
Call Routing
ARS can apply up to 24-digit analysis to every number dialed. For programming, ARS provides
separate 8-digit and 24-digit tables. Each table can have up to 250 numbers.

Dialing Translation (Special Dialing Instructions)
ARS can automatically execute stored dialing instructions (called Dial Treatments) when it
chooses a route for a call. The system allows up to 15 Dial Treatments. The Dial Treatments can:

Insert or delete an area code (NPA)

Add digits (such as a dial-up OCC number), pauses and waits to the dialing sequence

Require the user to enter an authorization code when placing a call (refer to PRG 44-03)

Time of Day Selection
For routing, ARS provides 10 different day selections (called Time Schedule Patterns). Each Time
Schedule Pattern can provide up to 20 time intervals which are assigned to one of the eight day/
night modes. The Time Schedule Patterns are then assigned to a day of the week
(Monday~Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Holiday).
