Node Number Routing (NNR) is used to specify the route pattern
associated with each node in a private network. NNR is a required
capability for Extension Number Portability (ENP) and is used in
conjunction with Automatic Route Selection (ARS), AAR and ARS
Partitioning, Private Networking, and Uniform Dial Plan (UDP). UDP
extensions can be routed to a specified node using its associated
pattern. NNR allows a UDP route pattern based on node numbers or on
location codes. On the AAR and ARS Digit Analysis Tables, you also
can specify a Node Number instead of a Route Pattern.

When possible make the min/max values equal to
prevent inter-digit timeout delays.

BTC123H DEFINITY


Explain that the interactions between dialing and the interdigit timers
can be controlled by proper ARS administration. This will become
apparent when reviewing the ARS Digit Analysis Tables.
ARS Digit Analysis (continued)
Interdigit timeout
DEFINITY
ECS uses a long interdigit timer and a short interdigit

timer during the dialing process. Normally, a long,10-second
interdigit timer is used between each digit. This timer waits for
another digit when the digits dialed are not a valid destination. If
this timer runs out, you receive timeout and an intercept tone.
If the digits dialed point to a valid destination, but there is a similar
string of digits that is of different length, the short, 3-second
interdigit timer is started.
If dialing does not continue before the timers expire, the system
assumes that no more digits are to follow, and appends #to
indicate end of dialing. You also may override the timer by dialing
#. This results in faster call processing.
When no length ambiguity exists and all digits are collected, the
call is routed, and no timer or #is required.

The long interdigit timer is embedded in the generic
translations. The short interdigit timer can be modified
(change system-parameters features).

Route Pattern

Explain the field entries and note exceptions to the NPA field (such as
200) will be covered later.
The hop limit only applies to tandem tie trunks for G3V4 and later. The
hop limit and Traveling Class Mark (TCM) are sent in-band or PRI. This
refers to the Tandem hop count not satellites. If no hop count is
indicated on route pattern, it doesnt check. It just counts it and passes
it on.
Hop digit is administered on page 2 of the Tandem Trunk group form.
If hop limit is administered and outgoing hop limit (count) is less than
(<) the number on the route pattern screen, the call is allowed to
proceed incrementing the hop count.

Notes

VPN has several offerings, two that concern systems are Dedicated and
Switched:
Dedicated connects directly to the VPN network. The network does
not want a 1. As of August 1995, the VPN network has the capability
to strip the 1, if it was incorrectly inserted.
Switched uses the LEC to connect to the VPN network. The LEC
needs the 1 for long distance. The LEC will strip the 1 before it
forwards the digits to the VPN network.
The VPN network does have an IXC, or as they call it, a 1pic : 10732.
It is scheduled to be discontinued by end of 96, at that time the 4E
offices will route according to what the subscriber has registered.
Yes, there is an exception, large systems with private networks that use
7 digits for private network calls and 10 digits for public network calls
would need the 1. The system and VPN need to know what is private
and what is public, 1 does this, i.e., Ford Motor Company and General
Electric.

Route Pattern (continued)
Prefix Mark - Digit 1 Outpulsing
The digit 1 may or may not be required at the CO to which the
system routes a 7-digit or 10-digit call. Since any given call may
have up to sixteen (G3r) route choices and the routes may or may
not require a 1, the choice of sending a 1 or not is associated with
each route preference. The "Prefix Mark" field provides five
choices that only apply to fnpa and hnpa call types. Tie lines do
not require a Prefix Mark.
Prefix Mark 0 or blank - Does not send a Prefix digit 1 for
10-digit FNPA calls even if the user dialed it. Leaves a user-
dialed Prefix digit 1 for 7-digit HNPA calls and 10-digit calls
that are not administered as fnpa or hnpa call types.
This capability is required, for example, when routing
ISDN-PRI calls depending on your vendors
requirements for handling the digit 1. If the prefix digit 1
is not suppressed, then the vendor rejects the call.
Prefix Mark 1 - Send a 1 on 10-digit calls, but not on 7-
digit calls.
Prefix Mark 2 - Send a 1 on all toll calls whether user dials
1 or not. (For example, all 10-digit calls and 7-digit toll
calls.)
This requires a Toll Table for the system to determine
whether calls are local or toll.
Prefix Mark 3 - Send a 1 on all toll calls. Keep or insert the
NPA (from Dial Plan) to ensure that all toll calls are 10-
digits.
This requires a Toll Table for the system to determine
whether calls are local or toll.
Prefix Mark 4 - Always suppress the Prefix digit 1.
This capability is required, for example, when routing
ISDN-PRI calls depending on your vendors
requirements for handling the digit 1. If the prefix digit 1
is not suppressed, then the vendor rejects the call.

ARS Prefix 1 Required?
When the "ARS Prefix 1 Required?" field is set to "no," the
following rules are applied in ARS Digit Analysis and Digit
Conversion.
If a "1" is dialed, the system searches ARS Digit Analysis
and Conversion for an appropriate match. If a match is not
found, the system makes a second search of the tables
ignoring the "1" to find a match. The entry matched during
the second search must be either a fnpa or hnpa call type.
If it is not, the search fails and the caller gets intercept tone.
If a "1" is not dialed, the system searches ARS Digit
Analysis and Conversion for a match without regard to call
type.
When the "ARS Prefix 1 Required?" field is set to "yes,"
the following rules are applied in ARS Digit Analysis and
Digit Conversion.
If a "1" is dialed, the system searches ARS Digit Analysis
and Conversion for an appropriate match. If a match is not
found, the system makes a second search of the tables
ignoring the "1" to find a match. The entry matched during
the second search must be either a fnpa or hnpa call type.
If it is not, the search fails and the caller gets intercept tone.
If a "1" is not dialed, the system searches ARS Digit
Analysis and Conversion for a match IGNORING ALL
FNPA ENTRIES. The system assumes that a user must dial
a "1" for all fnpa call types when this field is set to "yes."

Time: 5 minutes
Trunk Digit Outpulsing
When administering a route pattern for 7-digit dialing, the area
code in the NPA field must match the area code on the Locations
form. If the two are different, the system inserts the area code
from the Locations form.
If the call is being forwarded or covered off-net, the switch uses
the forwarded (or covered) stations location area code (instead of
the originators) because the call is routed as if the forwarded (or
covered) station is dialing.
If a 10-digit destination is being used to route the call to a route
pattern with the same area code, the system automatically deletes
the NPA digits and outpulses the remaining 7 digits as a local call.

Important! If the 10-digit dialing is required for all calls
(local as well as toll), the area code assigned to the
route pattern should be assigned to 200 so that the
dialed NPA never matches the route patterns area code
and all dialed digits are outpulsed.

ARS Toll Table
When you enter a "2" or a "3" in the prefix mark field, the system
requires the Toll Table administration. The Toll Table determines
whether CO codes are local or toll when they are routed over the
same facility (trunk group) in a route pattern.

The ARS Toll Tables are useful when you have local and
toll calls that are being routed to the same route pattern.
For example, you may have FX (Foreign Exchange)
facilities where certain calls may be considered local,
while others are toll calls.

Notes

Lead the students through the exercise covering various methods of
adding Area Codes. Remind them that only a subset of area codes are
being administered to save time. Remind the students that FRL
checking is bypassed on ARS/AAR calls made via a privileged
Abbreviated Dialing system or Group List.

Notes for Guided Activity:

Reference Q1: Since Megacom trunks are tie lines,
the NPA field is left blank and PM is 4, 0 or blank.

Reference Q2: Using two digit entries will route all
present and future Area Codes to Pattern 3. Using
three digit entries for existing Area Codes, such as
120, 121, 122, will allow greater control in routing or
denying area codes. This allows the administrator to
select the most appropriate pattern.

We know that digit strings can be routed to Route Patterns or they
can be denied. We can also route a string to an RHNPA (Remote

analyzed down to the 6th digit for selective routing (usually NPA-
NXX). This saves having to enter all the individual strings and
saves space in the analysis tables.

out Pattern Choice " 01:" is the default entry for all Code fields.

Describe the following example:
The Rte Pat fields on the ARS Digit Analysis Table are set to r1, r10 and
r32. These point to the respective RHNPA Tables 1, 10, or 32. Therefore,
the next 3 digits dialed represent a CO code in the FNPA. These digits
are translated by the RHNPA Table and route via the assigned route

Calls consist of the CC (Country Code) +the NN (National
Number) +the station digits. Larger countries have shorter CC
digits. Example, Spain is 34 and Portugal is 351.
1 to 3 digit CC (first digit =World Zone Number)
NN =city code +local number
The prefix 011 is required on direct dial international calls
originating in the U.S. and is treated as part of the address.
International calls are translated in ARS digit analysis using the
"intl" call type.
Dial Min-Max Call Remarks
String Type
01 9-28 iop intl operator
011 10-28 intl intl call

Important!
Administrators will need to watch for international
locations using the NANP. These locations should be
translated as exceptions in the ARS Analysis tables
according to company policy for international calls.

AFRLS should be discussed in relation to the administered FRL on the
route pattern.
Features Affected by Route Pattern FRL
Two features interact with the FRL selected on the route pattern:
Alternate Facility Restriction Levels
Authorization Codes
Alternate Facility Restriction Levels
Alternate Facility Restriction Levels (AFRL) allows DEFINITY

ECS to adjust facility restriction levels or authorization codes for
lines or trunks. Each line or trunk is normally assigned an FRL.
With this feature, alternate FRLs are also assigned.
Attendants or System Administrators can change to the alternates,
thus changing access to lines and trunks. For example, a company
might want to use this feature to disable most long-distance calling
at night to prevent unauthorized staff from making long-distance
calls.

Important! AFRL impacts AAR and ARS Call Routing
because it may change the routing preferences. Using
AFRL on tandem and tie-trunk applications affects
entire networks. Calls that may be part of a cross-
country private network may be blocked.

Have the students map FRLs 0 through 3 to alternate FRL 3 and FRLs 4
through 7 to alternate FRL 7. Discuss the implications of various call
scenarios.

DEFINITY


Authorization codes should be discussed in relation to the administered
FRL on the route pattern.
Features Affected by Route Pattern FRL
(continued)
Authorization Codes
You can use authorization codes to enable callers to override a
stations calling privileges. For example, you can give a supervisor
an authorization code so they can make calls from a phone that is
usually restricted for these calls. Since each authorization code has
its own COR, the system uses the COR assigned to the
authorization code (and FRL assigned to the COR) to override the
privileges associated with the employees phone.

Note that authorization codes do not override dial
strings that have their route patterns denied. For
example, if your ARS tables restrict users from placing
calls to Columbia, a caller cannot override the
restriction with an authorization code.

Important! You should make authorization codes as
long as possible to Increase the level of security. Set the
length of authorization codes on the Feature-Related
System Parameters screen.

Authorization codes may be used to:
Override facility restriction levels (FRLs) assigned to
originating stations or trunks
Restrict individual incoming tie trunks and remote-access
trunks
Track CDR calls for cost-allocation purposes
Provide additional security control

Authorization Codes
Using the simulator terminal, administer the appropriate forms to
assign authorization codes.
1. Change system-parameters features and
activate authorization codes; leave all default values.
2. Assign COR 49 to all users who must dial authorization
codes.
3. Change COR 49 and assign FRL =0.
4. Change authorization code 1234567.
Assign authorization code
Assign COR =50
The FRL for COR 50 =7
COR Description Authorization Codes FRL =7
5. Change route 13
Group no. 1
FRL 1
NPA 303
Prefix Mark 1
6. Change ars analysis 3
Assign (303) 936 to go over route pattern 13.
7. Change COR 49 and make FRL =1 to show that the user is
not prompted for an authorization code when FRL is high
enough to access the trunk group.

Have the students create an authorization code 4395721 with a COR of

Time: 10 minutes
CAMA Centralized Automatic Message
Accounting (E911)
Centralized Automatic Message Accounting (CAMA) trunks route
emergency calls to the communitys Enhanced 911 systems and
provide Callers Emergency Service Identification (CESID)
information to the system. Public Service Answering Points
(PSAP) use CAMA trunks to determine the callers physical
address.
This screen, accessed using the change cama-numbering
command, administers the Centralized Automatic Message
Accounting (CAMA) trunks.
This screen provides the CESID format by extension number or
number blocks. This allows for multiple CESID formats to be sent
over multiple CAMA trunk groups allowing for mixed station
numbering plans and some limited conversion from non-DID to
DID numbers typically required by the Private Switch/Automatic
Location Interface (PS/ALI) database.
The default CESID defines the CESID for all extensions that are
not defined in the Ext Code field.
Required Forms
The following forms must be administered for CAMA E911
trunks groups:
ARS Digit Analysis Table
Class of Restriction
Calling Party Restriction
Feature Access Code
ARS Access Code1
ARS Access Code2
Route Pattern
Trunk Group (CAMA)

Lead the students through the exercise illustrating the effect the various
entries will have on the CESID information outpulsed on a CAMA trunk.
CAMA Numbering
Using the simulator terminal, administer the appropriate form to
make the requested changes outpulse CESID information on a
CAMA trunk.
1. Any extensions specifically assigned should outpulse the
default of 5241100 if 911 is dialed from the station.
2. Assign the first entry to extensions 7100 through 7199. The
CESID outpulsed will be 524 plus the extension for a total
length of 7.
3. Assign the second entry to extensions 7210 through 7219.
The CESID outpulsed will be 524 plus the extension for a
total length of 7.
4. Assign the following entries to extensions 7250 through
7289. The CESID outpulsed will be 5247666 for a total
length of 7.
5. Assign the following entry to extension 7292. The CESID
outpulsed will be 5247666 for a total length of 7.
6. Assign the remaining entry to extension 7291. The CESID
outpulsed will be 5247291 for a total length of 7.
