With the Multi-Location Dial Plan feature, you can use vector routing or hunt groups to set up a local centralized answering point (LCAP). The LCAP gives users access to a local attendant.

With vector routing, you can administer a VDN with extension 0 with a vector route-to step for a shorter extension. You then administer the Uniform Dialing Plan screen with an entry for the shorter extension in the vector step. The purpose is to prepend digits from the calling party number. The system routes the call to the extension that you designate as the LCAP.

You can also use a hunt group to set up an LCAP. You administer the Uniform Dialing Plan screen so that the shorter extension for the hunt group prepends digits for the calling party number. One of the members of a local hunt group can be designated as the LCAP.

Note that if you use an LCAP, you cannot also use local access codes. LCAPs and multiple Feature Access Codes for the attendant are mutually exclusive.
