    • A user dials 9 0 908 956 1234.
    • Communication Manager drops the ARS FAC (9 in our example), looks at the ARS Digit Analysis Table for 0, and analyzes the number. Then it:
      determines that more than 1 digit was dialed
      rules out the plan for 00, 01, and 011
      determines that 11 digits were dialed
    • Communication Manager routes the call to route pattern 1 as an operator assisted call.
