Automatic Route Selection
At a Glance - Continued
Description
2
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is available only in Hybrid/PBX mode. ARS
allows outgoing calls to be dynamically routed over selected facilities after dialing
an ARS access code (usually
9
). This enables the system to select the least
expensive route for each call.
Programmable lists, called
tables
, indicate the desired routes (line/trunk facilities)
for specified area codes and/or exchanges. There is a different ARS table for
each type of call (local, toll, special number, and so on). The tables are chosen
according to the telephone number digits that are dialed by a user. Each ARS
table has a particular pool to which it routes calls.
