I have setup a few MICS systems w/ PRI. I always have the same problem, which seems to plague me every time I set one up (and is right now). I usually have 4 digits rec’d from CO. How can I program a DID that starts with a 9 in the last for digits. Example 555-9512. I dial 9 to get out (dest code 9 any). If a customer has a number that starts with a "9" in the last four, I'm screwed. In this area, our numbers are 926,691,689 e.c.t so changing the rec'd digits wont help. Most people seem to be accustomed to dialing a "9" to get an outside line. Changing the dest code really isn’t a fix. What if they acquire (and just have) another company and they have a number that conflicts w/ my dest code? My customer just informed me that they forgot about one number that needs to be setup – xxx-9512. This is a fax number on their business cards.

I will try that. Thanks. I still consider this a BUG. How could a phone number conflict with phone system programming?
This is after all version 7 of this OS. Can’t wait to try to explain to the LEC that I am using a Norstar, therefore I can’t use 9's.

i have asked for this acouple times now, they don't seem to be to caught off guard. however i agree that there is no reason that this is still an issue with nortel.

Well, if part of this is a NORTEL issue then it probably will go the way that loop-start disconnect supervision went on the SL1 and M1s. -NO WHERE-
They did nothing about it!! They are the only company that put T1 on a switch and tells you, you can only put trunks on it! No stations just trunks! What kind of crap is that???
But I digress, when you receive digits into a switch it has to fit something called a DIAL PLAN. With a DIAL PLAN you can have conflicts, that is why if you are using 9 for access or a feature, you can't use 99 or 999. How would it recognize what you wanted to tell it? I suppose you could put in pauses or use a terminator like #, but that makes it difficult for the user. So we get the challenge instead to figure this stuff out.
One simple solution is don't use DID numbers then, just pots lines.
