Help need programming Call Routing for copper.

[curlycord]

Hello all,
I need step by step on programming Call Routing as I have never had to use it in my years but now I do and it's for copper lines of all things.
I want to avoid speed dials etc so what I need is to just access a pool code like 94 and that pool code automaticly dials my dest. # and soon I need another pool code 95 dialing another dest. #
Thanks

PS-I'm not on the list on the right anymore....this is a bad thing! lol, still busy!
Cheers

CC

Curly,
on call routing you have to first set up the route that you will use then set up the destination code that uses that route. Strangly enough it is easer to work it out on paper first by figuring out the destination code then the route so here is what I did for my system: We have centrex and I wanted to be able to only dial the 9 one time. not dial 9 to get the line pool then dial 9 again to break out of the centrex. and also wanted to dial within the centrex group so I dial 9 plus the 4 digit centrex number(all start with 2).

I set up different destinations for each style of number I dial out with such as
90 to dial operator
91 to dial ld
92 to dial centrex
93 -99 for local calls

so I set up dest 90 to use route 90 absorb 1 (the lead 9)
dest 91 to use route 91 absorb 1
dest 92 to use route 92 absorb 0
dest 93 etc to use route 93 absorb 1

I set up route 90 to dial out a 9(centrex outside line access) and use pool a
route 91 to dial out a 9 and use pool a
route 92 to dial out no number and use pool a
route 93 to dial out a 9 and use pool a

the only reason I set up routes 93 -99 instead of using route 91 was just to keep everything logical on paper.

remember to actually program the route first

the dialing that happens then for instance is if I want to dial an 800 number of 918005551212 first the destination code will absorb the lead digit and pass the rest to the route. the route will then dial a 9 (centrex code) and pass the rest of the route. you will not hear dial tone from the outside line after dialing the 9 though.

Curly, where have you been?

Here is some more stuff for you to go along with Jerry's, for a different application.
This example is if you are using a couple of different pools


destination codes:
9A rte:1 absorb:1
91A rte:2 absorb:1
918A rte:2 absorb:1
9188A rte:2 absorb:1
91888 rte:1 absorb:1
9187A rte:2 absorb:1
91877 rte:1 absorb:1
9186A rte:2 absorb:1
91866 rte:1 absorb:1
9180A rte:2 absorb:1
91800 rte:1 absorb:1
911 rte:1 absorb:0
Where route 1 = local lines and route 2 = LD T-1

This assumes that the local and LD do not need the 9 sent out. I put 911 as an entry so that 9911 and 911 both will work.

People tend to forget about getting 911, or 9911 out.

This is intended as just another example for you to look at
