Uniform Dial Plan Routing 5
This section includes programming procedures for assigning UDP routing. UDP
routing is very similar to ARS, except that it is slightly simpler. UDP routing allows
system users to reach non-local extensions at a remote DEFINITY ECS or
DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions or MERLIN LEGEND Communications System that
is networked to your system. UDP routing associates the dialed extension number
with one of up to 20 programmed patterns. For each pattern you can specify up to
four routes. For each route, you specify a pool dial-out code. Then you can
program FRLs, absorbed digits, prepended digits, and voice and/or data
capability.
You can use inspect to review existing routes. To see a report of existing non-local
extension ranges, select the
3ULQW option on the System Programming menu and
then choose
1RQ/FO8'3. Appendix B, “Network Reports,” includes a sample.
NOTE:
Before using this procedure, assign all private tandem trunks connected to
your system to pools. Then assign pools to routes in pattern, if you remove
or change a pool number for a route, all the routing information returns to
default values: FRL 3, no prepended or absorbed digits, both voice and
data capability. In addition, you should assign patterns to non-local
extension ranges, which is part of numbering the extensions. To perform
this procedure, see “Non-Local Dial Plan Numbering” on page 15
.
This section contains programming procedures for the following UDP routing
features:
■ UDP Routes
■ FRL
■ Digit Absorption
■ Other (Prepended) Digits
■ Voice and/or Data Routing
Planning Guidelines 5
There are five steps in programming UDP routes:
1. Assigning pools of tandem trunks to UDP routes
2. Assigning FRLs to routes
3. Specifying the number of dialed or received digits that should be absorbed,
starting with the first dialed digit
4. Specifying the digits that should be prepended to the number that results in
Step 3
5. Specifying, for tandem trunks, voice capability, data capability, or both
