About this task

Let us say you allow your employees to make local, long distance, and emergency calls. However, you have a lobby telephone for visitors and you want to allow users to make only local, toll-free, and emergency calls from this telephone.

To restrict the lobby telephone, you modify the routing for a partition group to enable only specific calls, such as U.S. based toll-free 1-800 calls, and then assign this partition group to the lobby telephone.

To enable 1-800 calls for partition group 2:

Procedure

  1. Type list ars route-chosen 18002221000.
  2. Press Enter.

    You can use any 7-digit number following the 1800 to create an example of the dialed string.

    The system displays the ARS Route Chosen Report screen for partition group 1.

  3. Record the route pattern for the selected dialed string.

    In our example, the route pattern for 1800 is p1. This indicates that the system uses the Partition Routing Table to determine which route pattern to use for each partition.

    Note:

    If there was a number (with no p) under Route Pattern on the Route Chosen Report, then all partitions use the same route pattern. You need to use the Partition Routing Table only if you want to use different route patterns for different partition groups.

  4. Press Cancel to return to the command prompt.
  5. Type change partition-route-table index 1.
  6. Press Enter.

    The system displays the Partition Routing Table screen. In our example, partition group 1 can make 1800 calls and these calls use route pattern 30.

  7. In the PGN2 column that corresponds to Route Index 1, type 30.
  8. Press Enter.

    This tells the system to use route pattern 30 for partition group 2 and allow partition group 2 members to make calls to 1800 numbers.
