NOTE:
Extension outward and toll calling restrictions are ignored when a user
dials a non-local dial plan extension. However, FRL extension restrictions
remain in effect.
For Release 6.1 and later, when using a centralized VMS/AA, at the (VMS hub)
system where the centralized VMS/AA resides, assign the extension for the ports
used to connect the centralized VMS/AA as members of an integrated VMI calling
group and set the FRL for these extensions to 3.
At each remote MERLIN LEGEND system sharing the centralized VMS/AA,
assign a pattern for the integrated VMI conversion number that is not used for
normal private network calls. Set up the routes associated with the pattern as
follows:
■ Assign a private network facility pool that contains a pool of PRI or tie
trunks, but not mixed trunk types.
■ Assign an FRL of 0.

0 to 6
Digit Absorption 5
Use this procedure to specify how many of the digits dialed (0 through 11) by the
caller should be absorbed (not sent over the trunk) by the system when a UDP
call to a non-local extension is made on an identified route. Digit absorption can
be used to modify the digits that are actually sent to a non-local system.
For Release 6.1 and later, when coverage or overflow calls are routed to a
centralized VMS/AA, the same extension number is assigned to the integrated
VMI calling group created on each system sharing the centralized VMS/AA
(including the VMI hub system). This configuration allows users to dial the same
extension number to retrieve voice mail messages regardless of location. For
each remote system, the number of digits absorbed should equal the length of the
VMI conversion number (the non-local member in the integrated VMI calling group
used to route calls to the centralized VMS/AA). The VMI conversion number has
no corresponding physical extension. Digit absorption removes the VMI
conversion number so that the extension for the centralized VMS/AA at the VMI
hub can be added by prepending.
Entries of 1 through 11 indicate that the system should not send the specified
number of digits, starting with the first digit dialed by the user.
