Routing calls with two T1's

[ShawnD123]

I have two T1's lines, one for local and one for long distance.

All 800's and Area code+number calls have to go out the first, all 1+area code+number calls have to go out the secound.

What is the easiest way to program this into the routing tables?

Thanks!

Anything in AC1 without a 1 in front goes out RLI 0 pointing to the local T1, for local and toll free calls.

Anything with a 1 in front goes out RLI 1 whoch points to the LD T1.

Forget my last post, I was thinking Option Switch not Norstar.

That would take a considerable amount of data gathering and the creation of a fairly complex routing table if you want all calls to go out on the least expensive route

My advice would be to have a certified Norstar tech build and implement a customized routing table for your specific application and location.

Thats what I am having done. The hard part is handling the 800 numbers since they can't go out the same t1 as the LD calls..

We are going to start with a few area codes at a time and see if it delays the system in making calls. Does the system normally slow down with large amounts of routing?

It shouldn't but if you build and implement an incomplete routing table you're going to cause a multitude of outbound problems. Routing tables like the one you need have to be thought out on paper from A to Z before you ever try to build one.
