3 Features AAutomatic Route Selection CARS)Description Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is a system programmable featurethat automatically selects the least expensive route available at thetime an outgoing outside call is made. Preprogramming eliminatesdialing the access code of the least expensive carrier. All the userhas to do is dial the feature number for ARS, and the number. Theappropriate outside line is selected and the access code is addedbefore the number is outpulsed.Conditions l A Toll Restriction check is done before ARS is applied.l ARS works according to the selected dialing plan. Thus, if the userdialed number is not found in the dialing plan (Leading Digit Tables),the dialed number is sent out by a Local Access (Automatic line access)Code.l ARS is not applied to a call specifying an outside line. In other words,it is possible to make an outside call by assigning an outside linedirectly (ARS Override).l This feature also applies to Call Forwarding - to Outside Line.Programming ReferencesSection 4, System Programming[ 1001 Flexible Numbering, Automatic line access / ARS[312] ARS Mode[313] ARS Time[314]-[321] ARS Leading Digit Entry for Plans 1 through 8[322]-[329] ARS Routing Plans 1 through 8[330] ARS Modify Removed Digit[33 l] ARS Modify Added NumberProgramming ExampleThe following is an example to show how to program ARS so that the usercan call the XYZ Company via the least expensive line.Step 1. Program ARS to work when the feature number for ARS is dialedby the user. Use the program [3 121 ARS Mode to enable the feature.Step 2. Store the telephone number of the outside party that will use theARS feature. For example, if XYZ Company’s telephone number is “l-234-567-8910” (not including the line access code), store the leading digitsof the number “1234567890” (max. 10 digits). To store the numbers, useone of the programs [314] through [321] ARS Leading Digit Entry forPlans 1 through 8 (Leading Digit Tables 1 through 8). The followingassumes that we have selected Leading Digit Table 1 to store the number.Remember that Table number 1 matches Route Plan Table 1.Features 3-7
