Setting up shortcut dialing

Use AAR/ARS shortcut dialing to modify your dial plan and expand the
capabilities of automatic routing. For example, with shortcut dialing, users can
make AAR and ARS calls without dialing the Feature Access Code (FAC). Also,
you can add 6- and 7-digit extensions to a 5-digit dial plan. Shortcut dialing works
with dial plans that use 2-digit through 20-digit dialing, depending on your digit
analysis tables.

NOTE:

If you use 6 or 7 digits shortcut dialing numbers in a 5-digit UDP, those
calls lose DCS transparency.

Before you start

Verify that the AAR/ARS Shortcut Dialing, ARS, and Private Networking fields
on the System Parameters Customer Options screen are all set to y.

Instructions

You may want to let users dial an emergency number without having to dial the
feature access code (FAC) to make an external call. For example, administrators in
the U.S may want to allow 911 emergency calls to be made without first dialing
the ARS access code of 9.

To allow direct-dialed 911 emergency calls, complete the following steps:

1. Type

change dial plan

and press

RETURN.

The Dial Plan Record appears.
