applies to calls made on both SA and Shared SA buttons.

Renumbering
The ARS access code can be renumbered. (The factory setting is 9.)
Toll Type In certain areas, the local telephone company requires the prefix 1 for
certain exchanges. In these cases, the exchanges can be assigned to a
1 + 7 table; 1 + 7 dialing requirements must be set to Within Area Code so
that people calling numbers in other exchanges do not have to dial
.
Tandem Switching In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), the ARS
access code is accepted over private networked trunks, allowing users in
a local system to make calls from lines/trunks connected to a remote
system. The system manager programs ARS in order to direct calls over
the most cost-effective routes; calls that are local, for example, at a
remote networked switch, can be sent out from lines/trunks connected to
that system. At the remote system, Remote Access features are used to
accept such a call.
Do not program a remote system’s ARS access code into the local
system’s non-local dial plan. For example, if the ARS access code is 9, do
not include a range of extensions that begins with 9. If you attempt to
program the local ARS access code into the non-local dial plan, the
system blocks the attempt. For security and convenience, it is best if all
systems in a network use the same ARS access code.
Because equal access (IXC or Interexchange) calls from a system with no
PSTN trunks require that local and remote ARS access codes match, the
local ARS access code is automatically prefixed when these calls are
sent to a networked system. You should not use this arrangement unless
networked systems are collocated. Otherwise, Dial 0 and Special Number
calls (911 calls, for example) do not reach the correct local services.
