NOTE:
Do not use this procedure to overcome conflicts between local and non-
local extension numbering. Such conflicts can result in numerous problems
with system features and should be resolved by system renumbering of the
affected systems.
The factory setting is 0.
Valid Entries
0 to 11
Other (Prepended) Digits 5
Use this procedure to specify other (extra) digits that must be prepended by the
system to the remaining after any absorption when calls are placed on an
identified route. You may need to prepend a digit in order to accommodate the 5-
digit numbering of DEFINITY ECS or DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions
communications system extensions in your private network.
Other digits can also be used to specify alternate routing if private network trunks
to another private network system are unavailable and the remote system has
dial-in facilities. Use other digits to prepend the required area code and exchange
to route the call via the PSTN to the remote private network system.
For Release 6.1 and later, when coverage or overflow calls are routed to a
centralized VMS/AA, the same extension number is assigned to the integrated
VMI calling group created on each system sharing the centralized VMS/AA
(including the VMI hub system). This configuration allows users to dial the same
extension number to retrieve voice mail messages regardless of location. For
each remote system, digit absorption removes the VMI conversion number (the
non-local member in the integrated VMI calling group used to route calls to the
centralized VMS/AA). On each remote system sharing the centralized VMS/AA,
use the Other Digits options to prepend the extension for the centralized VMS/AA
at the VMI hub.
Unless a user employs a Pool button or pool dial-out code, which they should not,
the dialed digits correspond to the non-local dial plan numbering.
NOTE:
Do not use this procedure to overcome conflicts between local and non-
local extension numbering. Such conflicts can result in numerous problems
with system features and should be resolved by system renumbering of the
affected systems.
A maximum of 20 digits can be added, in any combination of digits 0 through 9.
