WATS is a voice-grade service that provides both voice and low-speed data transmission calls to defined areas, or bands, for a flat rate charge.
The system displays the Band field when the Services/Features field is set to outwats-bnd, and when either the ISDN-PRI or ISDN-BRI Trunks field is set to y on the Optional Features screen. The Band field is required by Call-by-Call Service Selection.
The columns are labeled 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and W.
In the 0 column, perform one of the following actions:
If the BCC is appropriate for the associated route pattern, type y.
If the BCC is not appropriate for the associated route pattern, type n.
In the 1 column, perform one of the following actions:
If the BCC is appropriate for the associated route pattern, type y.
If the BCC is not appropriate for the associated route pattern, type n.
In the 2 column, perform one of the following actions:
If the BCC is appropriate for the associated route pattern, type y.
If the BCC is not appropriate for the associated route pattern, type n.
In the 3 column, perform one of the following actions:
If the BCC is appropriate for the associated route pattern, type y.
If the BCC is not appropriate for the associated route pattern, type n.
In the 4 column, perform one of the following actions:
If the BCC is appropriate for the associated route pattern, type y.
If the BCC is not appropriate for the associated route pattern, type n.
In the W column, perform one of the following actions:
If the BCC is appropriate for the associated route pattern, type y.
If the BCC is not appropriate for the associated route pattern, type n.
Information in the BCC Value area identifies the type of call that is appropriate for this trunk group, such as voice calls and different types of data calls. The system displays the BCC Value field when either the ISDN-PRI field or the ISDN-BRI Trunks field is set to y on the Optional Features screen.
See the table for a description of BCC Values.

Valid values are the digits 0 through 7.
0 is the least restrictive FRL, and 7 is the most restrictive FRL. To access the associated trunk-group, the FRL of the calling party must be greater than, or equal to, the FRL that you typed on this screen.
For system security reasons, Avaya recommends that you use the most restrictive FRL possible.
Valid values are the digits 1 through 666 for DEFINITY R, CSI, and SI.
Valid values are the digits 1 through 2000 for the S8300D Server and IP-PNC.
A hop occurs when a call tandems through a media server or a system to another destination. You limit the number of hops to prevent circular hunting, which ties up trunk facilities without completing a call. The software blocks the number of hops that are equal to or greater than the number that you enter in the Hop Lmt field.
See the table for the Hop Lmt field entries.

A comma (,) uses 2 places. A comma (,) creates a 1.5-second pause between the digits that are sent. Do not use a comma (,) as the first character in the string unless it is absolutely necessary. Misuse can result in some calls, such as Abbreviated Dialing or Last Number Dialed calls, not completing. |
plus sign (+) |
The plus sign (+) waits for dial tone up to the Off Premises Tone Detection Timer. The system then sends either digits or intercept tone, based on value in the Out Pulse Without Tone field on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen. |
percent sign (%) |
The percent sign (%) starts End-to-End Signaling. |
exclamation point (!) |
An exclamation point (!) waits for dial tone without timeout, and then sends dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) digits. |

Valid values are the digits 0 through 28. You can also set the field to blank. To set the field to blank, press Enter.
The software uses this information to modify the dialed number so that the system routes an AAR or ARS call over different trunk groups that terminate in media servers or systems with different dial plans. The software uses this information for the calls that use the following routing methods:
To or through a remote media server or switch
Over tie trunks to a private network server or switch
Over CO trunks to the serving CO
You can change the No. Dgts Subaddress field if the ISDN Feature Plus field is set to y on the Optional Features screen.
Valid values are the digits 1 through 5. You can also set the field to blank. To set the field to blank, press Enter.
The software uses this information to route a call to a number where the media server deletes the dialed number and inserts the listed directory number (LDN). The LDN is then sent to the destination address, and the dialed extension is sent in the calling party subaddress IE. At the receiving end, the call terminates to the user who is indicated by the subaddress number instead of to the attendant.
The NPA is also known as the area code.
Valid values are the digits 0 through 9. You can also set the field to blank. To set the to field blank, press Enter.
For WATS trunks, the terminating NPA is the same as the home NPA unless the local exchange carrier (LEC) requires 10 digits for local NPA calls.
Call your local telephone company to verify the NPA, if you need help.
You do not need to enter an NPA for AAR.
To access the Bellcore NI-2 Operator Service Access, you must type unk-unk in the Inserted Digits field.
The system displays the Inserted Digits field when the ISDN-PRI or ISDN-BRI Trunks field is set to y on the Optional Features screen.

The Pattern Number field is a display-only field that displays the route pattern number. The route pattern number is from 1 to 640.
Valid values are the digits 0 through 4. You can also set the field to blank. To set the field to blank, press Enter.
This entry is not required for AAR.
Prefix marks set the requirements for sending a prefix digit 1 to indicate a long distance call. Prefix marks apply to 7-digit Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) or 10-digit DDD public network calls. A prefix digit 1 is sent only when the call type field is a foreign number plan area (FNPA) or a home numbering plan area (HNPA) in the ARS Digit Analysis Table screen.
For a WATS trunk, the prefix mark is the same as the local CO trunk.
See the table for Prefix Mark field entries.
Entry |
Description |
|---|---|
0 |
Do not use Prefix Mark 0 in those areas where all long distance calls must be dialed as 1 plus 10 digits. Check with your local network provider. |
1 |
Send a 1 on all 10-digit calls, but not on 7-digit calls. Use Prefix Mark 1 for HNPA calls that require a 1 to indicate long distance calls. |
2 |
Send a 1 on all 10-digit and 7-digit long distance calls. Prefix Mark 2 uses a Toll Table to define long distance codes. |
3 |
Send a 1 on all long distance calls, and keep or insert the NPA so that all long distance calls are 10-digit calls. The system inserts the NPA when a user dials a prefix digit 1 plus 7 digits. Prefix Mark 3 uses a Toll Table to define long distance codes. |
4 |
Always suppress a user-dialed Prefix digit 1. Use Prefix Mark 4, for example, when the system routes ISDN calls to a media server or a system that rejects calls with a prefix digit 1. |
blank |
For TIE trunks, leave this field blank. |
Valid values are from 1 to 15 characters.
The Service/Feature field is required by Call-by-Call Service Selection, and Network Call Redirection and Transfer.
The system displays the Service/Feature field when the ISDN-PRI field or the ISDN-BRI Trunks field is set to y on the Optional Features screen.
