Add numbers to a DCS network
You can use shortcut dialing to add numbers to a DCS network. As an example,
let’s use a DCS network with switches in Chicago, Denver, and Boston. The
4-digit UDP allows internal DCS calls between Chicago and Denver. We want to
add Boston to the network, but do not have enough 4-digit extensions available.
We’ll add ARS shortcut dialing to the dial plan to allow 7-digit shortcut dialing
from Chicago and Denver to Boston.
The following table shows the dialing instructions for the extended 4-digit UDP
network, and will help you understand the steps on how to set up shortcut dialing
on the Dial Plan Record.
The dial plan is set up to allow 4-digit extensions that start with digits 2, 3, 4, 5,
and 6. The
fac entry in First Digit 8 corresponds to a standard AAR Feature
Access Code, and the
fac entry in First Digit * corresponds to a standard ARS
Feature Access Code. Digit analysis routes 4-digit calls that start with 6 to Denver,
and 4-digit calls that start with 4 to Chicago.
The capacity of the dial plan in Boston allows calls from Boston to the rest of the
network to be dialed using 4 digits. However, DCS is not available because of the
dialing limitations on calls to Boston.
