Programming instructions

Automatic route selection (ARS) permits the system to select the least costly line group that is available to a

station for outgoing call routing. The system modifies the dialed number, if needed, to match the selected line

group. Additionally, ARS provides the costing information for the dialed call that is reported by the station

message detail accounting feature. ARS makes its routing decisions (which lines to route a call over, when and

how to modify a number, and costing information) based entirely upon the programming of the system.

NOTE: When the ARS feature is active, never program a direct line appearance to a station.

a station user selects a line directly at his or her station, the system will not route the

call using the ARS feature.
