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 dialling 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 CO line group
is selected and the access code is added before the number is outpulsed.
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 dialled 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 "1234567" (max. 7 digits). To store the
numbers, use one of the programmes [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.
Example: Program Address [314] Leading Digit Table 1
3.
Check all carriers available to call the stored telephone number and their CO line groups.
Suppose there are three carriers available to call the XYZ Company and each carrier's line
is assigned to a CO line group as follows:
Carrier E — CO Line Group 1
Carrier F — CO Line Group 2
Carrier G — CO Line Group 3
Then check the fee charged by each carrier:
