the network identification prefix for the connection will be prepended to the prefix. The
number is not sent out to the exchange until it has been completed in this manner.
The LCR also requires the following information:
쮿
A dialing prefix (area code) to determine which calls are relevant for the router.
쮿
One or more network identification prefixes to determine the provider to be used for
this prefix.
쮿
The days of the week and holidays for which the entry is valid.
쮿
The time of day for which the entry is valid.
Initial tests
It's possible to achieve a considerable savings with only a few entries. We would like to
describe the programming of the LCR using this simple example.
You know, for example, that considerable savings can be had by selecting a provider on
a dial-around basis for long distance and international calls. You have also checked the
rates of a number of dial-around providers and selected the most economical ones. The
first entries in the LCR table will then appear as follows:
These three entries mean that all connections to Bristol (or other numbers with the prefix
'0117') on weekends will be made using the provider with the network prefix '4'.
Between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, these calls will be made using the provider
with the network prefix '0800' plus PIN. International calls on Sundays will be made
using the provider with the network prefix '4'.
For advanced users: Systematic use of the LCR
쮿
The first example has shown how connect charges can be reduced with only a few
entries. If you would like to put the least-cost router to optimal use, detailed
information is required with regard to the connect-charge structure of the dial-
around providers. Next, decide how these rates and rate zones can be best
organized in the
ELSA LANCOM Business LCR table. A variety of approaches are
possible:
쮿
Obvious options for saving telephone charges can be entered directly:
