Entering carrier codes and start times
What is a carrier code?
In addition to leading digits, you can access your long-distance plan. It may
be different for North America and for overseas as well as during different
times of the day (i.e. business hours or after hours). The Carrier Code 1 and
Carrier Code 2 columns give you theses options. TalkSwitch automatically
adds a 2-second pause after dialing the carrier code to pick up the dialtone
of the long-distance provider. A carrier code can be up to 24 digits long,
including ‘*’, comma ‘,’ and ’w’. The comma causes a 2-second pause; ‘w’
waits for the dial tone.
3. Enter the telephone number for your long-distance plan. Enter the
number without spaces or dashes.
4. Select Start Time 1 for Carrier Code 1 from the drop-down list. If the
access number is the same 24 hours a day, click the checkbox next to All
Day. If you have a different plan for business and after hours, enter it in
the Carrier Code 2 field and select a time for Start Time 2.
Figure 44: Examples of leading digits
• If you dial 9 followed by a phone number that does not start with 1, 01
or 01161, you access an outside line. The number is automatically routed
according to the configuration of line hunt group 9.
The entries that you specify for ARS match the dialed digits with the
longest leading digits entry. If the numbers dialed match the digits that
you specified, the call is routed to a line hunt group or blocked according
to the Action you selected.
