60Automatic Route Selection (ARS)DescriptionAutomatic Route Selection (ARS) (ARS) provides call routing and call restriction based on the digits auser 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 displaytelephone. ARS accommodates 2000 call routing choices – without a custom-ordered rate structuredatabase. With ARS, you can modify the system routing choices quickly and easily. This is oftennecessary in the telecommunications world of today where the cost structure and service choicesfrequently change.The ARS feature can add or delete digits and route calls according to predetermined levels. WhenUNIVERGE SV9100 systems are networked together by Tie Lines or K-CCIS, the networked systemscan be called by a system number and a user extension number, just an extension number, or by usinga trunk access code.ARS Feature SummaryARS provides:Call RoutingARS can apply up to 24-digit analysis to every number dialed. For programming, ARS providesseparate 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 choosesa 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 sequenceRequire the user to enter an authorization code when placing a call (refer to Program 44-03)Time of Day SelectionFor routing, ARS provides 10 different day selections (called Time Schedule Patterns). Each TimeSchedule 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).Hierarchical Class of Service ControlARS allows or denies call route choices based on an extension ARS Class of Service. This allowslower Classes of Service (e.g., 1) to access routes unavailable to higher Classes of Service (e.g.,16). The system provides up to 16 (0=unrestricted, 1~16) ARS Classes of Service.Separate Routing for Selected Call TypesTo provide unique control, you can program separate routing instructions for:Directory assistance (411, 1411 and 555) callsEmergency (911) callsSeparate Routing for Equal Access (1010XXX) CallsChoose different routing for directly-dialed (1010XXX + 1) and operator-assisted (1010XXX + 0)Equal Access calls.
