How do I add a DSC?

[jonmohr]

Hello:

Here's my scenario. We want to be able to call one of our remote offices by dialing a number (let's say 8) followed by the 4 digit extension in the remote office.

Essentially we want to strip out the first six digits and replace them with one.

Is the DSC the way to do this? Is there a way to set this up in MerMail?

Thanks for your help in advance!

not a mail function usually, two (or more) ways to go.. 1st question, are the numbers in the remote pbx unique to yours? if so, dsc is the only way to go, if you have a tie between the two, then go to 86 and build a rlb that points to the tiem frl 0.. then still in 86, new 0 cdp dsc 1234, rli x (the new one).. dial 1234, dsc matches, switch puts the call on the right route..

no tie or the same numbers in two switches.. use 8 as ac2, put your dn's in 90 as spn's pointing each one to a unique rlb, in 86 build a dgt that delete the ext and inserts the 7 or 10 digit number,put that in an rlb that points to either the local or ld routes..

clear up your needs and one of us can post some code to help clear it up..

John:

We'd have to go the 2nd route as the there is no tie between the 2 sites. The numbers are unique to our PBX, but we don't have a tie between the 2 sites.

So, what doe the code look like?

Thanks John!

have a tie between the 2 sites... not impossible but not usually worth doing

ld 86
new
dgt
20
del 4
insert 4345555

new
rlb
20
route 1 (your locals)
dmi 4
frl 0

ld 87
new
0
cdp
dsc
1234
rlb 10

so now i can dial 1234 and reach 434 5555 on the far end, it could be a local or ld.. i have a 4 digit dsc that internal dials my home number which is ld.. BUT you need a dgt and rlb per dsc, that makes it tough... if the last 4 digits of the did can be used as the dsc then you can use one dgt and the same rlb for those dsc,, just insert the nxx, and send it out.. the last 4 numbers of my home are, 5555 (almost) so i made dn 5555 a dsc, dgt insert 1444333 and sends the call to the ld's.. the switch puts 14443335555 on my ld route.. i get a 3 hour call out..

Thanks John.

Ok, so if we want to use 8 as a replacement for 123-456, then how does this work? In your example it appears you are replacing the last 7 digits of the phone number, not the first six.

Essentially we want to dial 8 and that equals the first six digits of our remote office (ie 123-456-xxxx). So if I dial 85555 it would really mean: 123-456-5555.

Thanks as always for your help.

You can set up AC2 as "8" and it should work that way.

if 8 is a vacant dn, then i would use 8 as a dsc
ld 86
new
dgt
8
del 1
insert 1234565555

new
rlb 8
entry 0
dgt 8
route x (to your outbound ld route)
frl 0 (lets ncos 0 and above use this entry)


ld 87
new
cdp
dsc 8
rli 8

that would always dial a the single entry, if site a does not did, the other post would be for did's, usually i try to have the user dial the remote ext and have the switch insert the 1 234 555 then use the ext the user dialed..

so if the main site is using the 4000 extens as dids the remote site could dial the same dn's.. with the single digit 8, your dialing direct tothe switchboard.. i would still make the number the same length as your dn's... if you exten is 3 digits 456, then use a vacant 3 digit number. 876... helps slow down miss dials
