Functions used for making calls

Step by step

You can configure the HiPath 1100 to send a warning

tone in the event that no external line is available for

LCR (see Programming Manual - Main Configurations -

Warning Tone when LCR is not available). This will alert

the user to the fact that the call is being completed by

a standard Carrier and that rates may be higher than

usual.

To warn the user that a different carrier is completing

the call, the system telephone display will display "EX-

PENSIVE CONNECTION" and a warning tone will be

heard.

ACS

With ACS (Alternative Carrier Selection) the system can

be set to use a specific carrier regardless of user’s se-

lection. This feature allows you to choose the carrier

that offers the best rates at the specified calling time or

to select a default carrier for all calls, assuming conver-

sion rules are properly defined.

The first digits of the number dialed by the user are an-

alyzed by the system. If the system determines that

they belong to Conversion rules, it replaces them with

the rule’s preset numbers. The route/destination to be

used can also be preset. There is no field available to

specify a carrier. The carrier code must be included in

the conversion rule.

Different conversion rules can be applied to the same

number, depending on the time of day and day of the

week. It is possible to define a maximum of 100 conver-

sion rules.

Example: Number dialed: 262 XXXX

Conversion Rules:

(Alert)

[1] ACS does not affect Emergency Numbers when the user dials di-

rectly.

A dialing rule may change if it is configured for using the Overflow

option.

Conversion rules must be configured using the HiPath 1100 Man-

ager.
