1. Avaya ARS Strategy Guide ARS - Automatic Route Selection
Strategy Overview
2. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006
3. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 ARS Decisions5 Specific Conditions Delaware (302) “Local NXX” Calling
Special (610, 484, 410) NNX Calling
Long Distance and Toll Free Calling
Internal Numbers (Known NXX 5 digit)
911 Calling
4. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Delaware (302) “Local NXX” Calling Every site will have an ARS Table
Each site will have specific Route Patterns
All sites will try to utilize the main default “all” table to reduce duplicated values
Each Pattern will obey the“Golden Rules”(Best Cost / Best Choice Routing)
5. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Special (610, 484, 410) NXX Calling Take advantage of special locations
Some locations can cross border lines
Route calls to special trunks if possible
Reduce toll charges if possible
6. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Long Distance and Toll Free Calling Create Route Patterns for LD
Prefer site local trunks first
Overflow trunks as per “Golden Rules”
More MPLS hops not desirable
International calls fall under LD Route Patterns but are restricted by COR as desired
7. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 DHSS Internal Numbers (255-9 etc.) Convert to 5 Digit when possibleDigit Conversion is NOT an option at this time due to ESS Ramifications!
Avoid PSTN for site to site calls
8. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 911 Calling Create site specific Route Patterns
Create one dedicated 911 trunk per site
Overflow to local trunks first
Only use non-local trunks as last resort
Consider CAMA trunks and E911 RedSky
9. Examples UP NEXT: Actual Scenarios
10. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Digit Conversion NOT possible at this time due to ESS! Example #1 – Any Avaya user dials:
9,1-302-255-99919,302-255-99919,255-999159991
Automatically use the 5 digit internal system because 255 is Campus
Keep all possible 5 digit calls in network from any location to any location
11. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Route Patterns Example #2 – Any Avaya user dials:
9,1-302-239-99999,302-239-99999,239-9999
Automatically use the Campus trunks first because 239 is local to Campus
Always use a trunk local to the NXX first(if possible)
12. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Route Patterns Example #3 – A Milford Walnut Street Avaya user dials:
9,1-302-424-10809,302-424-10809,424-1080
Automatically use the Walnut Street trunks first because 424 is local to Walnut.
If the Walnut Street trunks are full, try using Windsor’s trunks next
Continue in order trying more local trunks first, Firehouse, Causey, then Annex etc.
If all local trunks are busy, then move North in order
13. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Route Patterns Example #4 – A Campus Avaya user dials:
9,1-302-424-10809,302-424-10809,424-1080
Automatically use a Milford trunk making a local call before dialing long distance from Campus
14. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Route Patterns Example #5 – Long Distance / Toll Free:
9,1-800-242-2121
Prefer site local trunks first
Campus uses Campus trunks
Milford uses Milford trunks etc.
No benefit by using the MPLS network
15. Ernest G. Wilson II 2006 Route Patterns Example #6 – Emergency 911 Calls:
Use the “Dedicated Site Specific 911 Trunk” first!
Overflow into other site local trunks next
Use remote trunks only as a last resort
Remote trunks can cause 911 confusion
Consider getting special CAMA trunks
Consider an E911 solution like RedSky
