Acs - Siemens HIPATH HIPATH 1190 User Manual

Step by step
(Alert)
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:
Index Dialed
Number
01 267
[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.
