LCR

The LCR (Least Cost Routing) is designed to lower tele-
phone communications costs. When LCR is activated,
all outgoing calls are routed to provide the least expen-
sive connection costs. A table is created listing all times
of the day, days of the week, telephone service provid-
ers so that calls can be made when rates are at their
lowest. After programming, you can make calls with no
need to enter the carrier code since LCR automatically
uses the carrier that provides the lowest rate at the time
the call is being placed.
Required: This feature must be configured for the sys-
tem by using the HiPath 1100 Manager.

You can program the HiPath 1100 to send a warning
tone if no external line is available for LCR (see Program-
ming 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 carri-
er and that rates may be higher than usual.
On analog telephones, a warning tone indicated to the
user that a different carrier is being used.
[1] Settings must be configured on the HiPath 1100 Manager.
