2.00 Automatic Route Selection
2.01 ARS
(for U.S.A. and Canada)
Description
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is a system
programmable feature that automatically selects
the least expensive route available at the time an
outgoing CO call is made. It is executed by
dialing the feature number for "ARS/Local CO
Line Access" from a DN button, then making a
long distance call or local call.
A typical application is to deny most extensions
dial access to all trunk groups. This forces
extension users to use the ARS feature, which
should results in reduced toll charges.
To utilize the ARS feature, program the preferred
call routing plan in the system programming
"Automatic Route Selection," then set "System-
Operation", Automatic Route Selection to "Yes."
