How to set up a dial plan between sites 1

[Homerscooby]

I want to impliment a dial plan between our four Option 11 and Succession switches. the 4X seems to be available. The question I have is, what is the best way to impliment a 7 digit dial plan? Loc codes, DSC, or is there an easier way?

no dsc's are very simple, 7 is a long way to go for internal, with 8000 stations, i am going to 5 in the near future, i usually use as few digits as needed as i can, leaves more room for future growth

This is what i picked up from another list which has proven to be VERY helpful. I had a bit of an idea and this just completed it.
I have another one worded a little differently if it helps.

Creating a Distant Steering Code (DSC)

There are 3 components to consider:

DSC Distant Steering Code
RLB Route List Block
DMI Digit Manipulation Index

When a call is made on a DSC, the properties of the DSC tell the switch that

it should check the RLB to see which route the call should be carried on.
Whilst examining the RLB, a check is also performed to see if any of the
dialled
digits should be adjusted (or manipulated) before routing the call.
This is carried out through the DMI - an instruction set that tells the
switch
where to send the call to on the route specified by the RLB.

The RLB and DMI are numerically identified, and for the purposes of
simplicity,
are often referred to by the same number.

LIST ALL EXISTING DMIs

>ld 86
ESN000

MEM AVAIL: (U/P): 4930204 USED: 1705315 TOT: 6635519
DISK SPACE NEEDED: 477 KBYTES
2MB BACKUP DISKETTE(S) NEEDED: 1 (PROJECTED)
REQ prt
CUST 0
FEAT dgt
DMI <RET>

The system will then list all DMIs present in the switch.

LIST ALL EXISTING RLBs

>ld 86
ESN000

MEM AVAIL: (U/P): 4930204 USED: 1705315 TOT: 6635519
DISK SPACE NEEDED: 477 KBYTES
2MB BACKUP DISKETTE(S) NEEDED: 1 (PROJECTED)
REQ prt
CUST 0
FEAT rlb
RLI

The system will then list all RLBs present in the switch.

LIST ALL EXISTING DSCs

>LD 87
ESN000

MEM AVAIL: (U/P): 4930204 USED: 1705315 TOT: 6635519
DISK SPACE NEEDED: 477 KBYTES
2MB BACKUP DISKETTE(S) NEEDED: 1 (PROJECTED)
REQ prt
CUST 0
FEAT cdp (NOTE: CDP = Co-ordinated Dialling Plan)
TYPE dsc

A full list of the DSCs already programmed in to the switch will be shown,
in the format:

DSC 230050 (The DSC itself)
FLEN 8 (The Field Length)
DSP LSC (Steering Code Type: Local/Distant Steering Code L/DSC)
RRPA NO
RLI 33 (Route List Index)

CREATING A NEW DSC
In order to create a new DSC, the DMI and RLB must be set-up first.
In addition, the existing DSCs/RLBs/DMIs should be printed to determine the
next
available numeric index. The order of programming should be:

(1) Check Existing Local/Distant Steering Codes (L/DSC)
(2) Check Existing Route List Blocks (RLB)
(3) Check Existing Digit Manipulation Indexes (DMI)
(4) Create New DMI
(5) Create New RLB
(6) Create New DSC
(7) Test the new DSC


Instructions for carrying out sections (1),(2) and (3) are outlined above.

(4) Create New DMI

>ld 86
ESN000

MEM AVAIL: (U/P): 4930204 USED: 1705315 TOT: 6635519
DISK SPACE NEEDED: 477 KBYTES
2MB BACKUP DISKETTE(S) NEEDED: 1 (PROJECTED)
REQ new
CUST 0
FEAT dgt
DMI <<THE NEXT AVAILABLE DMI>>
DEL <<NUMBER OF DIGITS TO DELETE>>
INST <<DIGITS TO INSERT>>
CTYP <RET>

(5) Create New RLB

>ld 86
ESN000

MEM AVAIL: (U/P): 4930204 USED: 1705315 TOT: 6635519
DISK SPACE NEEDED: 477 KBYTES
2MB BACKUP DISKETTE(S) NEEDED: 1 (PROJECTED)
REQ new
CUST 0
FEAT rlb
RLI <<THE NEXT AVAILABLE RLI>>
ENTR 0
LTER <RET>
ROUT <<THE ROUTE USED TO CARRY THE CALL>>

All other prompts should be <RET> until the new DMI is asked for:

DMI <<THE NUMBER OF THE DMI JUST CREATED>>

NOTE: If the DMI has not already been set-up, the RLI cannot be created.

Also, for simplicity the DMI and RLI are traditionally given the
same numeric index.

(6) Create New DSC

>ld 87
ESN000

MEM AVAIL: (U/P): 4930204 USED: 1705315 TOT: 6635519
DISK SPACE NEEDED: 477 KBYTES
2MB BACKUP DISKETTE(S) NEEDED: 1 (PROJECTED)
REQ new
CUST 0
FEAT cdp (Co-ordinated Dialling Plan)
TYPE dsc
DSC <<THE NUMBER OF THE DSC TO BE CREATED>>
FLEN <<THE NUMBER OF DIGITS REQUIRED TO ROUTE CALL>>
DSP <RET>
RRPA <RET>
RLI <<THE ROUTE LIST INDEX TO BE USED BY THIS DSC>>


(7) Test the New DSC

Use a phoneset dial the new DSC created.
When it has been answered (either by agent/IVR/music etc.) press the Hold
Key
and then the DN key.
This will display the route access codes and member the call has travelled
on -
this should be the same as the route specified in (5) Create New RLB.

very nice post, check the tgml commands and you can dress that up with bold and Colors or a bunch of other options. i think it helps make a point when you take that much time to document a procedure..

Wow Klowndog! Great post!

Thank you very much!
