Administering the route pattern

Last Updated : Oct 04, 2016 |

Procedure

  1. Enter change route-pattern n, where n is the number of the route pattern.
    Important:

    The next step is for US customers only.

  2. In the Band field, type a number that represents the OUTWATS band number.

    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.

  3. In the BBC Value (Bearer Capability Class) area, type the following information in the corresponding columns.

    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.

      Table 1: Entries for the BCC Value area

  4. In the BCIE field, type the value that determines the creation of the ITC codepoint in the setup message.

    The BCIE field applies to ISDN trunks.

    • Type ept for endpoint.

    • Type unr for unrestricted.

      The system displays the BCIE field when the ITC field is set to both.

  5. In the CA-TSC field, type the information for ISDN B-channel connections.

    See the table for a description of the entries for the CA-TSC field.

    Table 2: Entries for the CA-TSC field

    Entry

    Description

    as-needed

    The CA-TSC is set up only when needed. This setting causes a slight delay. Avaya recommends this entry for most situations.

    at-setup

    The CA-TSC is automatically set up for every B-channel call whether or not it is needed.

    none

    No CA-TSC is set up. This setting permits tandeming of NCA-TSC setup requests.

  6. In the DCS/QSIG Intw field, perform one of the following actions:
    • To enable CS/QSIG Voice Mail Interworking, type y.

    • To disable CS/QSIG Voice Mail Interworking, type n.

    The system displays the DCS/QSIG Intw field when the Interworking with DCS field is set to y on the Optional Features screen.

  7. In the FRL field, type the Facility Restriction Level (FRL) that is associated with the preference.

    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.

    Security alert:

    For system security reasons, Avaya recommends that you use the most restrictive FRL possible.

  8. In the Grp No field, type the trunk group number that is associated with the preference.
    • 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.

  9. In the Hop Lmt field, type the number of hops for each preference.

    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.

    Table 3: Entries for the Hop Lmt field

    Entry

    Description

    blank

    Indicates that the system does not apply a limit to the number of hops for this preference.

    1 to 9

    Limits the number of hops if you use the Tandem Hop capability. Valid values are the digits 1 to 9.

    1 to 32

    Limits the number of hops if you use the Transit capability. Valid values are the digits 1 to 32.

  10. In the Inserted Digits field, type the digits that the software inserts for routing.

    Valid values are the digits 0 through 9. You can type a maximum of 36 digits.

    The software can send a maximum of 52 digits. This number includes the digits that you enter in the Inserted Digits field, plus the digits that the user dials. The software counts each special symbol as 2 digits.

    See the table for the Inserted Digits field entries.

    Table 4: Entries for the Inserted Digits field

    Entry

    Description

    asterisk (*)

    When an asterisk (*) is in the route pattern and the outgoing trunk is signaling type mf, the MFC tone for the end-of-digits is sent out to the central office (CO) in place of the asterisk (*).

    pound sign (#)

    When the pound sign (#) is in the route pattern and the outgoing trunk is signaling type mf, the MFC tone for the end-of-digits is sent out to the central office (CO) in place of the pound sign (#).

    comma (,)

    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.

    ampersand (&)

    An ampersand (&) waits for Automatic Number Identification (ANI). An ampersand (&) is used for Russian pulse trunks.

    p

    The associated trunk group must be of type sip. Type the single digit p for fully qualified E.164 numbers. The system translates the p to a plus sign (+). The system then places the plus sign (+) at the front of the digit string.

    dollar sign ($)

    If ($) sign is in the Inserted Digit String of a routing pattern, the MF Packet does not have ANI information. That is, use 1 S F11 format.

    If ($) is not in the Inserted Digit String of a routing pattern, the MF Packet shall have the 1 S Cs def xxxx F11 format.

  11. In the ITC field, type the Information Transfer Capability (ITC) to identify the type of data transmission or traffic that this routing preference can carry.

    The ITC applies only to data calls BCC 1 through 4.

    If the W column of the BCC field is set to y, the ITC field must be set to either unre or both.

    See the table for ITC field entries.

    Table 5: Entries for the ITC field

    Entry

    Description

    both

    Calls from restricted and unrestricted endpoints can access the route pattern.

    rest

    Calls from restricted endpoints can access the route pattern.

    unre

    Calls from unrestricted endpoints can access the route pattern.

  12. In the IXC field, type the Inter-Exchange Carrier (IXC).

    The system uses this information for calls that the system routes through an IXC, and for the Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature.

    The system displays the IXC field when the ISDN-PRI field or ISDN-BRI Trunks field is set to y on the Optional Features screen.

    See the table for IXC field entries.

    Table 6: Entries for the IXC field

    Entry

    Description

    Valid carrier code

    Identifies the carrier for IXC calls.

    user

    Identifies a presubscribed carrier. Used when an IXC is not specified.

    none

    The IXC field must be none for non-ISDN trunk groups and for Bellcore NI-2 Operator Service Access. If you need to send an IXC code for a non-ISDN trunk group, type the IXC code in the Inserted Digits field.

  13. In the LAR field, type the routing-preference for Look Ahead Routing (LAR).

    See the table for LAR field entries.

    Table 7: Entries for the LAR field

    Entry

    Description

    next

    Go to the next routing preference and attempt the call again.

    rehu

    Rehunt within the current routing-preference for another trunk to attempt the call again.

    none

    LAR is disbled for the preference.

  14. In the No.Del. Digits field, type the total number of digits that you want the system to delete before the system sends the number out on the trunk.

    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

  15. In the No.Dgts Subaddress field, type the number of dialed digits to send in the calling party subaddress information element (IE).

    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.

  16. In the NPA field, type the 3-digit Numbering Plan Area (NPA) for the terminating endpoint of the trunk group.

    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.

  17. In the Numbering Format field, type the information that specifies the format of the routing number that the system uses for the ISDN trunk groups for this preference.
    Note:

    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.

    See the table for Numbering Format field entries.

    The Pattern Number field is a display-only field that displays the route pattern number. The route pattern number is from 1 to 640.

  18. In the Prefix Mark field, type the prefix mark information for ARS.

    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.

    Table 9: Entries for the Prefix Mark field

    Entry

    Description

    0

    • Suppress a user-dialed prefix digit 1 for 10-digit FNPA calls.

    • Leave a user-dialed prefix digit 1 for 7-digit HNPA calls.

    • Leave a prefix digit 1 on 10-digit calls that are neither FNPA nor HNPA calls.

    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.

  19. In the Service/Feature field, type the IE in a call in this route pattern.

    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.

    See the table for Service/Feature field entries.

  20. In the Toll List field, type the number of the ARS Toll Table that is associated with the terminating NPA of the trunk group.

    You must complete this field if the Prefix Mark field is set to 2 or 3.

    Valid values are the digits 1 through 32. You can also set the field to blank. To set the field to blank, press Enter.

    This entry is not required for AAR.

  21. In the TSC field, perform one of the following actions:
    • Type y if you want:

      • To allow Call-Associated TSCs, and to allow incoming Non-Call-Associated TSC requests to be tandemed out for each preference

      • Feature transparency on DCS+ calls and to use QSIG Call Completion

    • Type n if you do not want:

      • To allow Call-Associated TSCs, and to allow incoming Non-Call-Associated TSC requests to be tandemed out for each preference

      • Feature transparency on DCS+ calls and to use QSIG Call Completion
