Program 53-LCR Route Plan Assignments
This program assigns which Route Plan (by the code dialled, as set in
program 51
), at which
time of day, each station group (
defined in Program 56
), will follow which Route Definition.
The day can be split into three time schedules i.e. three shifts for each Route Plan. The
definition (
) then allocates which trunk group (
) and carrier (Modified
Digits tables-
) the particular Route Plan is to follow.
To enter the data:
Route Plan Number-Dependant on the telephone number dialled by the user. (The code
should already have been assigned to a specific Route Plan (
))
Schedule Number-In most cases, an installation will not require the use of the time schedule
feature. This being the case leave initialised data as it is and set all Route Plans/Definitions to
work with schedule 1. you do have to enter schedule times they must be entered using the
24hr clock format HH:MM (Hours:Minutes). Fill in all four digits. Initialised data assigns
“0000” to all times.
◆
Start time for schedule 2 is the stop time for schedule 1.
◆
Start time for schedule 3 is the stop time for schedule 2.
◆
Start time for schedule 1 is the stop time for schedule 3.
Note
If LCR software sees schedules 1 and 2 have the same start times, then it only looks
at schedule 1 for route definitions.
Station Group Number-Each station must belong to a Station Group (
program 56
).
Initialised data assigns all stations to Group 1.
Route Definition Numbers- Four definitions may be entered for each group. These Route
Definitions are defined in
.
◆
The order in which the route definitions are entered defines the order of LCR
selection. The most desirable route should be entered in the left-most position, and
the least desirable route in the right-most position.
◆
If "1" is assigned to Station Group 1, and 1 for route definition only, then those
assigned will only be able to use Route Definition 1, thereby if the schedule timings
are set this would restrict them during times that route definition 1 is not allowed.
◆
Keep in mind that the route definition number is being entered, not the Exchange
line group number. The definitions i.e. which Exchange line group should be used
are assigned in
.
