Hi kythri-
If you are using or have access to the ASA software, they have a nice help screen under "Help --> Show Me" for doing what you need. If you don't, I've pasted what I can here for your issue:
A common task for system administrators is to configure their system to recognize new area codes or prefixes.
Tip:
If your local area code is changing or splitting, call the MultiVantageä helpline and have them walk you through all the changes needed to have your system recognize the new area code.
When you want to add a new area code or prefix, you look up the settings for the old area code or prefix and enter the same information for the new one.
Let’s add a new area code. When the California area code, 415, splits and portions change to 650, you’ll need to add this new area code to your system.
Tip:
If you do not need to use 1 for area code calls, omit the 1 in Steps 2, 4, and 6 in our example. Also, enter 10 in the Total Min and Total Max fields (instead of 11) in Step 8.
To add this non-local area code:
1 Open a GEDI window for the switch you want to administer.
2 Type list ars route-chosen 14152223333 and press the ENTER key.
You can use any 7-digit number after 1 and the old area code (415). We used 222-3333.
The ARS Route Chosen Report screen appears.
3 Write down the Total Min, Total Max, Route Pat, Call Type, and Node number from this screen.
In this example, the Total Min is 11, Total Max is 11, Route pattern is 30, and the Call Type is fnpa.
4 Type change ars analysis 1650 and press the ENTER key.
Enter 1 and the new area code (650). The ARS Digit Analysis Table screen appears.
5 Use the arrow keys to move to a blank Dialed String field.
If the dialed string is already defined in your system, the cursor appears in the appropriate Dialed String field, where you can make changes.
6 Enter 1650 in the Dialed String field.
7 Enter the minimum and maximum values from Step 3 in the Total Mn and Total Mx fields.
In our example, enter 11 in each field.
8 Enter the route pattern from Step 3 in the Rte Pat field.
In our example, enter 30.
9 Enter fnpa in the Call Type field.
10 Enter the node number from Step 3 in the Nd Num field.
For our example, you would leave the node number blank.
11 Click the Enter button on the GEDI window to save your changes.
12 Click to close the GEDI window.
To add a new prefix, follow the same directions, except use a shorter dial string (such as list ars route-chosen 2223333, where 222 is the old prefix) and a dial type of hnpa.
Cheers!
