Automatic Route Selection (ARS)
Description Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is a system programmable
feature that automatically selects the least expensive route available
at the time an outgoing outside call is made. Previous programming
eliminates the necessity for the user to dial the access code of the
least expensive carrier. All the user has to do is to dial the feature
number for ARS, and the number. The appropriate CO line group is
selected and an appropriate access code is added before the number
is outpulsed.
Conditions • Toll Restriction check is done before ARS is applied.
• ARS works according to the selected dialing plan. Thus, if the user-
dialed number is not found in the dialing plan (Leading Digit Tables),
the dialed number is sent out with Local Access (Automatic line access)
Code.
• ARS is not applied to a call made by specifying a CO line group. In
other words, it is possible to make an outside call by assigning a CO
line group directly (ARS Override).
• This feature also applies to Call Forwarding – to CO Line.
