Isn't There Something Like BARS 101?
Posted: 12 Mar 06 (Edited 15 Jan 11)

The Origonal BARS101 was published by GHTROUT in 2001, and can be found in basic HTML format at http://www.ghtrout.com/
Yes! Basic Automatic Route Selection. If you dial "9", you are accessing BARS. "9" is the "BARS Access Code"
1. A telephone dials "9" - BARS activates. 2. The telephone dials a number - Example: 1312-XXX-XXXX 3. The PBX holds the digits while it looks up "1312" to figure out what Route List to use for processing the call. 4. The Route List determines the possible trunk routes that can be used. 5. The Route List checks the facility restriction level of the telephone and compares it to its own required facility restriction level. 6. The Route List checks to see if any special digit manipulation should be performed.
LD90 NET
The LD90 Network overlay is where area codes and exchanges are defined. If a prefix is not entered into LD90, it cannot be dialed through BARS. Each area code or exchange refers to a "Route List" or RLI which contains the instructions for routing the call.
CODE>ld 90 ESN000 REQ prt CUST 0 FEAT net TRAN ac1 TYPE npa NPA 1312 NPA 1312 <-- This is the network number (prefix) RLI 11 <-- This is the Route List that the prefix gets instruction from DENY 976 <-- This is an exchange in NPA 312 that is blocked. Optional, but common SDRR DENY CODES = 1 DMI 0 ITEI NONE REQ end LD86 RLB (or RLI)
The RLB is a "list" of possible trunk routes that an area code or exchange (NPA, NXX, SPN) can be selected for the call. Each "ENTR" or list entry contains a trunk route. Each entry also has a "minimum Facility Restriction Level" or "FRL" that must be met or exceeded before a phone can access that entry.
In the following example, the first ENTR can be accessed by phones whose NCOS equals an FRL of 3 or above. The second entry can only be accessed by phones whose NCOS equals an FRL of 6 or above. For example, less important phones might be NCOS 3 and very important phones might be NCOS 6. If all trunks in the first route choice were busy, only important phones would have access to the trunks in the second route choice.
Along with the trunk route and the FRL, you can apply specific "digit manipulation" with the DMI entry. The DMI entries are explained here.
CODE>ld 86 ESN000 REQ prt CUST 0 FEAT rlb RLI 11
RLI 11
ENTR 0 <-- This is the list's first "Entry Number" LTER NO ROUT 15 <-- This is the first choice Trunk Route Number TOD 0 ON 1 ON 2 ON 3 ON 4 ON 5 ON 6 ON 7 ON CNV NO EXP NO FRL 3 <-- This is the Facility Restriction Level DMI 10 <-- This is the Digit Manipulation Index Number FCI 0 FSNI 0 OHQ YES CBQ YES
ENTR 1 <-- This is the list's second "Entry Number" LTER NO ROUT 9 <-- This is the second choice Trunk Route Number TOD 0 ON 1 ON 2 ON 3 ON 4 ON 5 ON 6 ON 7 ON CNV NO EXP YES <-- This is considered the "expensive" choice FRL 6 <-- Note that the Facility Restriction Level is higher DMI 0 <-- Note no digit manipulation is required for this trunk route FCI 0 FSNI 0 OHQ YES CBQ YES ISET 2 MFRL 3
REQ end
LD87 NCTL
The FRL to NCOS "relationship" is built in the NCTL data block. The FRL and the NCOS do not necessarily have the equal one another, however they usually do. A higher FRL/NCOS has more capability than a lower FRL/NCOS. For an NCOS number to have any capability, it must first be defined in the NCTL data block.
CODE>ld 87 ESN000 REQ prt CUST 0 FEAT nctl NRNG 0 7 <-- Range from NCOS 0 through 7 was requested SOHQ NO SCBQ YES CBTL 10 --------------- NCOS 0 EQA NO FRL 0 RWTA NO NSC NO OHQ NO CBQ NO MPRI 0 PROM 0 --------------- NCOS 1 EQA NO FRL 1 RWTA NO NSC NO OHQ NO CBQ YES RETT 10 RETC 5 ROUT I RADT 0 SPRI 0 MPRI 0 PROM 0 --------------- NCOS 2 EQA NO FRL 0 RWTA NO NSC NO OHQ NO CBQ NO MPRI 0 PROM 0 --------------- NCOS 3 EQA NO FRL 3 <-- NCOS 3 equals FRL 3.

The Digit Manipulation data blocks are where special prefixes are entered before numbers are sent out over trunks. An example of digit manipulation is where a 1010XXX carrier access code must be inserted before a number is processed over a trunk.

This is simply a telephone's data block

The ESN data block is the root of BARS. Before BARS can be set up, the ESN data block must be defined.
