analog data calls, while BRI lines and other PRI lines support both
voice and digital data calls.
— Facility Restriction Level. A value from 0 to 6 associated with the
route. For routes, 0 is the least restrictive and 6 the most restrictive
value. In order to use a route, a caller (according to extension or remote
access barrier code/trunk) must have an FRL that is equal to or greater
than the FRL of the route.
— Absorbed Digits. The number (0–11) of user-dialed digits that ARS
absorbs (does
not dial out) on this route. Digits are absorbed starting
with the first user-dialed digit, after any leading star codes.
— System-Prefixed Digits. A string of up to 20 digits (0–9, *, and Pause)
that ARS dials out on this route
before dialing any remaining user-dialed
digits but after dialing any user-dialed leading star codes.
ARS allows up to 16 programmable tables, each of which may contain one of the
following types of information:
■ Area Code Tables. These tables are lists of 3-digit area codes. Area code
tables are useful when just one type of line/trunk (for example, a regional
WATS trunk) is used for all calls to each area code on the list.
■ Local Exchange Tables. These tables list 3-digit exchanges within the
local area code. They can be used to route calls over in-state WATS lines.
■ 6-Digit Tables. If the cost of calls to another area code varies according to
the exchange, this table can be used to route calls on different pools,
depending on both the area code and the exchange.
In a 6-Digit Table, an area code is the first entry. The remaining 99 entries
are exchanges within the area code. The system scans the first six digits of
the user-dialed number (area code and exchange) to route the call.
■ 1 + 7 Tables. In some areas, callers must dial a   and a 7-digit number to
call certain exchanges, even though the call is within the local area code. A
1 + 7 Table contains a list of local area code exchanges that require dialing
a
  but not an area code before the 7 digits.
In addition to the fully programmable tables, ARS has four factory-set tables:
■ Dial 0 Table. This factory-set table routes calls to numbers that start with 0.
The international dialing code, 011, is treated as a special case and can be
put into a programmable table. If 011 is not specified in a programmable
table, international calls are routed through the Dial 0 Table. Programming
of this table is limited to a single pool, its FRL, and system-prefixed digits.
■ Special Numbers (N11) Table. This factory-set table routes calls to the
special numbers 411, 611, 811, and 911. The main pool is always used.
The pool routing for this table is not programmable.
