Use ARS instead of TAC to route callers across Tie-line 1

[CrossConnect]

I have a remote Definity G3 V3 PBX connected to a Corporate Definity G3 V12 PBX via a tie-line. Is it possible to setup an ARS entry on the remote PBX to mimic the dialing of a TAC to send callers across the tie-line? Here is what I am trying to accomplish: I need to setup an ARS entry on remote PBX to have the remote PBX callers dial the digit 4 and be sent across the tie-line to the Corporate Office PBX. Once the remote caller reaches the Corporate Office PBX, the remote caller would then dial a FAC of 1 and then a 3-digit enhanced speed dial list entry. This would route the remote caller out of the Corporate PBX to complete the speed dial call. This would allow the remote PBX users to access the Corporate PBX enhanced speed dial list. Hopefully this makes sense. Please let me know if I can clarify what I am shooting for. Thanks.

You should be able to use AAR, but you would need to create 1 per number.... it would be messy.. but it is possible.

dial string... route pattern... delete digits... insert digits etc....

I'm not even going to attempt to give exact instructions..

Good luck.

thanks,

Thanks for the quick response. I know I am making things more difficult by not just using a TAC, but I was trying to restrict the remote callers to only allowing them to dial the FAC + speed dial list entry on Corp PBX and ARS is the only way I know to begin to attempt this type of restriction. I'm going to keep trying. Thanks for your input.

You can use ars, but AAR is preferred. set up an AAR code like 222 (or what ever works with your dial plan) and a set up a route pattern to the trunk group going to the other switch and prefix your outgoing speeddialed number with those digits. The switch will pattern match the digits and route the call. In your route pattern you must remember to strip the three prefix digits (ie:222 = del 3).
ARS and AAR are basically the same but ARS is usually External to the public network and AAR is internal, ie: inter-PBX. It can be done it just takes a lot of work to get there. You can test it by doing " list aar (or ars) route-chosen 222xxxxxxxxxx# or what ever prefix you wind up using.

If your intention is only for using the speed dialing on the Corporate EPABX you may configure a VDN which has the TAC and the remote-access number of the Corporate EPABX.
When the VDN is dialled it will come to the corporate EPABX and will give the remote extension dial tone.
After this you may try the FAC.
Honestly, I have never tried but just a thought..
