Example: If users are used to dialing 9-1-555-1234-<DN number> to reach another system
(whose DN codes start with 6), you create a destination code of 915551236A, using the VoIP
line pools (users dial the destination code plus the DN of the telephone they want to reach on
the other system). The letter A at the end of the code represents any number from 0 to 9 which
is not used by any other destination code.
If you need to use PSTN lines for a specific connection on the other system, you can create a
destination code specific to that destination number and attach it to the route set up with the
PSTN line pool (for example, 915551236333, 6333 being the DN of the device on the other
system. When the user dials that specific number, the call will always go over the PSTN line).
Note that by entering this code, users dialing with the code in the previous paragraph could
never dial any DN that started with 63XX.
• If you want to use VoIP lines as your main lines, but you want to program one or more PSTN
lines as fallback lines, you need to configure the
routing and routing schedules so that the user
dials the same number, regardless of which routes get used. You use the external number
dialout string and absorb digits fields under the schedules in Destination code programming
for this purpose.
• If a company wants to use VoIP lines between sites for interoffice calls, but not necessarily for
all the voice traffic, they can configure specific destination codes for the VoIP routes. In this
case, the destination code contains the same digits as a user would dial for a PSTN line, thus,
making the shift transparent to the user and, at the same time, ensuring that the most
economical route is being used. Depending on how many exceptions there are, you can use the
wild card at the end of the string to save yourself from the necessity of entering a number of
destination codes with the same leading digits.
Configuring Absorbed length
The digit absorption setting (Absorbed Length) applies only to the destination code digits.
When the Absorbed Length is at 0, the actual digits dialed by a caller are preserved in the dialout
sequence. As you increase the absorbed length the equivalent number of digits are removed from
the beginning of the destination code.
Adding Carrier access codes to destination codes
In some instances, long distance service uses the same lines as local service but is switched to a
specific carrier using an access number, which is sometimes referred to as a carrier access code
(CAC). Route programming can include the access number so the users do not have to dial it every
time they make a long distance call. Figure 88 shows an example of how the system interprets
what the user dials into a valid outgoing call.
