BARS / NARS Dialed Digits

[giantman]

Good morning everyone. I have no experience with BARS or NARS. What load can I go too in order to view the route taken when digits are dialed ? Example : 617 555, I want to make sure that call is terminating over our long distance T1.

Is there any documentation on BARS and NARS anywhere in the Nortel documentation. I am going to submit a form for training with my company and would it be best to take both BARS and NARS or just BARS ?

As always many thanks for your help !!

Nortel's guide to NARS and BARS is in their Networking Features guide. (Basic and Networking Alternate Route Selection) It takes a little while to go over, Also this was rated the hardest course at Global training when I went. They take this course serious. I'm not trying to scare you, I think it is one of the most important courses there, and I think you should take it, but I would try to get an understanding of the basics before I took the course.

This is the best resource I have found on NARS/BARS. It really explains everything very well:

One thing I would suggest is a spreadsheet that will take the information from the different loads (LD 86, 87, and 90) and creates a spreadsheet that has all the information in it.
The web site is

http://www.pepedog.com/meridian/

and the spreadsheet that does the bars/nars things is NETTY.

IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE IF IT'S TALKING THE CORRECT ROUTE YOU CAN DO A TRAC ON THE DN IN LD 80 OR IF YOU HAVE A DISPLAY PHONE JUST PLACE IT ON HOLD THEN GO BACK IN AND THE ACOD AND MEMBER WILL BE DISPLAYED. THEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GP TO LD 20 AND PRINT THE ACOD AND IT WILL TELL YOU THE RDB THAT IT'S ASSIGNED TO

another way of seeing which route and member your leaving on is make the call, put it on hold, pick it back up, that will display the acod, ld 21 prt rdb (then) type in the acod at the acod prompt

ld 80
trac 0 xxxx, with x =to your dn
