Pretranslation

[Pbxpoweruser]

Hi,
I am quite familiar with pre-translation lists however I have reached a roadblock. It seems that the pre-translation only treats the first digit dialed. So for example what I am look for is: if a user dials 200 I would need to actually translate it to 400. Is there a way of doing this other than pre-translation?

what are you saying only the first digit dialed?

That is what the feature guide states:

With Pretranslation, only the first dialed digit of a call is pretranslated. The
translation choices are:
• Pass the digit as dialed with no changes
• Replace the first dialed digit with a specified substitute digit or digits,
and pass the remaining digits unchanged
• Delete the first dialed digit and pass the remaining digits unchanged, or
• Block the call based on the first digit dialed.

Just to be more specific I need to convert random numbers and no a whole range...

200 to 400
250 to 345
122 to 567

If I were you just use LocalSteeringCode in LD 87
Build a DMI first in LD 86 to 'Digit Manipulate' and then build the LSC in LD 87...Pre-translations are more than tricky...Keep it simple!!

Cheers

Would agree with SL1M1, if you already have pretranslations on the switch and 2 would clash in your dial plan you can add some digits to the number then use DSC's.

example prefixing 88

pretranslation
0 0
1 1
2 882
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9

then LSC 88200 DMI del 5 inst 400
and LSC 88250 DMI del 5 inst 345

Like I say I would only go down that route if it was just for a group of phones or LSC 200/250 would clash in your dial plan.

how many on the list, and just for conversaton, why?

i would look at dsc, with dgt's.. even if i had to add a route that just looped back to the same switch.. i have had to do that before for some off the wall app.. just build two pri's with d's, calls go out on one trunk, using either a digit translation or, when it comes back in, use a idc table, just apply the idc to the one inbound pri
