There is no load to do that. You can play "games" in the ESN by inserting area codes on NXX, etc. I DO NOT reccomend doing that. I am assuming that your customer recently went into the 10/11 digit dialing world and is wanting a way out. Eventually you will have "overlay" area codes in your town or city. This means that you will be able to dial
2 or more ( can be many more ) area codes in your same area without dialing the 1.
Eventually, this temporary fix of inserting area codes in 7 digit number will catch up with you and you will encounter a area code that conflicts. I would tell the customer that there is nothing you can do and "dont go there".

Just use an autodial key with the 81npa programed on it and then just dial the other 7 numbers. Or you can program the 81npa on a speed call key and then add the other 7 digits.

Sorry, I should have indicated this is for long distance calls. Basically we have lots of calls being made to our head office (which is long distance) and we already have this set up the majority of the the numbres..however there are now 2 new dialling prefixes that need to be put in place...just wondering where this is done.

Thanks,

Hey Dave, I do that here We use 8 + a 3 digit location code plus the 4 digit extension it works great,

I can write something up for you but to answer your question Yes it can be done.

Hey Rix,

Basically for example...we have this set up for Indianpolis...
employees here just have to dial 8 to get an outside line and the 7 digit DID of employees in Indy...instead of having to dial 8 to get an outside line and then 1-317-xxx-xxxx. This has been set up for 4 prefixes already..but this was done by Bell..i want to know where the did this change and how i can set this up for 2 new prefixes.

Thanks for your help!

Goto This will tell you if 8 is AC1 or AC2

LD20
PRT
DNB
CUST
8

If 8 is AC1

LD90
PRT
CUST
NET
AC1
NXX
xxx put one of the NXX's that you cane dial with out npa, this will tell which
RLI you need to put the new NXX's in. when you have this info I will tell
the rest of programing.

Why not use a SYS. Speed Dial?

Dave we have it set up on AC2,

Our users Dial 9 + Number for regular calls AC1
or
Dial 8 + loc + Extension for Interoffice calls. AC2

Go to LD 90
PRT
0
NET
AC2
ALL

See if there is anything there,

If you use 8 for all calls it may be AC1

Print your SPN's, LOC and NXX's to see if you can find the numbers you dial.


Jack, Quick Dial seems to be easier to integrate then a speed call list because it is already in the dialing plan (for our site)
So users know to dial 8+code to get to other offices, also it is more secure (speedcall is secure too in the same manner) as you can not dial numbers that are not assigned and I can direct what trunks I would like the traffic to route over..so when I introduce ITG Trunks, I can implement it inter office seemlessly because the user won't know that anything changed.


This seems to work best on my site, this may not be the best set up elsewhere.

Rix & D,

Sounds like you re describing the same thing and the only thing missing is the entries for AC2 which reflect the new NPA's.


The 9 + for a network call & the 8 + for an on net -- site to site call is a very common use of AC1 & AC2.

D, do as Rix suggests and find your existing entries, you are interested in which RLI they use. With this info. add the new NPA's to AC2 and use the same RLI and you should be all set.

R,

For the security portion I'd agree that your use of AC2 is more secure -- Sys speed can overide NCOS restrictions, but I'm not sure that I agree with the easier to integrate part, a site specific thing for sure.

The thing about the user not knowing the difference is more so handled by what routing choices you decide to ues -- either way a call is dialed, than what keystroke/button combos you decide to use. I guess an analogy would be changing service providers, if everything works right how would an end user know that the call is carried over AT&T vs Sprint?

As with most things Meridian -- I personally view this as a STRENGTH of the product!! -- no one way of doing things is ALWAYS right, the ability to adapt the functions you need/require to your orginizations needs is what is important!!!

Jack



Good Luck!!

Jack
