■ Customer service reps use OUTWATS lines to call many customers in the
U.S., and the company has a discounted pricing plan for these calls. For
this reason, ARS routing does not direct all Chicago-to-California calls
across the private network.
■ The system manager may program other area codes for calling via ARS
across the private network. Only a sample is shown.
■ Because the systems are more than 200 miles apart, FRLs are very
stringent for secondary routes that use local PSTN facilities rather than
taking advantage of the primary routes that send calls on private network
trunks to PSTN facilities connected to the other system.
