Lcr-Least Cost Routing - NEC SL1000 Features And Specifications Manual

ISSUE 2.0
Description
Least Cost Routing allows the SL1000/SL1100 system to automatically select the indirect carrier
defined by routing table within the system. An indirect carrier is accessed via the PSTN lines
connected to the SL1000/SL1100 (these are the direct carrier lines), a special access code is used to
select the indirect carrier, all dialled digits are passed to the indirect carrier for routing of the call to the
destination.The routing tables list the leading digits of numbers dialled by the users and the associated
indirect carrier access code. It is possible to route calls to more than one indirect carrier.
Conditions
• The PSTN number accepted by the indirect carrier may vary, consult the carrier for details. Special
attention must be given to Emergency calls (Police/Fire/Ambulance etc.), if you route emergency
calls to an indirect carrier you must confirm that they will accept this type of call. It is normal practice
to have an 'override code' that the users can dial to route the call to a chosen carrier (direct or
indirect) in the event of faults with the carrier.
• F-Route/ARS operation takes place on the digits dialled by the user, before the trunk is seized. LCR
will use the digits sent to line i.e after translation by F-Route/ARS.
• Toll Restriction takes place on the digits dialled by the user. Toll Restriction check will take place
after any F-Route/ARS operation and before the LCR operation.
• Local area calls can not be routed via an indirect carrier that also has Cost Center Codes
enabled.This is due to the order that the digits are dialled out by the SL1000/SL1100. Local calls
can be routed via an indirect carrier if Cost Center Codes are not required.
