4 Digit Dialing

[mrecco]

I have an Option 11 at one site and an Avaya S8720 at another site. How do I set up 4 digit (it could be 5 or 6 digit dialing) from the Nortel to the Avaya. I have 4 digit dialing from the Avaya to the Nortel.

Just dial the number there is no where in the Option 11 where you tell it how many digits unless your using CDP with a DSC

Thanks, but I tried that first. Call is going off-net, so I have the DMI, SPN and the RLI set up. But the call will not leave the system.

You need to have a point to point circuit to get true 4 digit dialing. If you do not have the point to point you can program a conversion, provided you have non overlapping DID ranges. Which are you trying to do?

There is no SPN involved in this type of dialing. But first, are you in the USA?

If you want users to dial 4 digits, you create Steering Codes (DSCs). The Steering Code points to an RLI. The RLI points to the trunk route.

The SPN does not come into play in this. The Route List holds the DMI which inserts the (for example) first 3 digits or first 7 digits 1NPANXX. The steering code would be the same as the extension in some cases.

If for example, all the extensions on the distant system started with 4, then the steering code could be 4. ("could" being the key word). Or they might be 41, 42, 43, 43, or it might be 402, 403, or it might be every DN, 4020, 4021, 4022, 4023, etc.
