Automatic Route Selection
Description
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) provides call routing and call restriction based on the digits a user
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
display telephone. ARS accommodates 250 call routing choices - without a custom-ordered rate
structure database. With ARS, you can modify the system’s routing choices quickly and easily. This
is often necessary in today’s telecommunications world where the cost structure and service
choices frequently change.
The ARS feature can add or delete digits and route calls according to pre-determined levels. When
Aspire systems are networked together by a tie line, the networked systems can be called by a sys-
tem number and a user’s extension number, just an extension number, or by using a trunk access
code.
ARS Feature Summary
ARS provides:
● Call Routing
ARS can apply up to 24-digit analysis to every number dialed. For programming, ARS pro-
vides separate 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
chooses a route for a call. The system allows up to 15 Dial Treatments. The Dial Treatments
can:
- Automatically insert or delete a leading 1
- Insert or delete an area code (NPA)
- Add digits (such as a dial-up OCC number), pauses and waits to the dialing sequence
● Time of Day Selection
For routing purposes, ARS provides ten different day selections (called Time Schedule Pat-
terns). Each Time Schedule 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).
Basic ARS Operation
When a user places an outside call, ARS analyzes the digits dialed and assigns one of 64 Selection
Numbers to the call. The Selection Number chosen depends on which digits the user dialed. ARS
then checks the time of day, the day of week and the extension’s ARS Class of Service. Based on
these call routing options, ARS selects a trunk group for the call and imposes the Dial Treatment
instructions (if any).
