 LCR – Activate LCR

‰ Activate LCR
• No simplified dialing

‰ Digit by digit
• Digits are directly transmitted
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

• Dial rule restriction

• May not end E(n)
• E(n)A is OK

‰ En-Bloc
• Digits are cached
• Until:
• timeout
• # (end of dial)
• exact matching rule
in the dial plan

 LCR – COS

‰ Each station gets a LCR COS

(between 1-15)
‰ Each Route element in the route
table gets a min. LCR COS
• The route element may only be seized
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

when:
COS station >= min.COS

 LCR – Dial plan – dialed digits

‰ Used char
• C = separation + dialtone
• Only once
• X = exact 1 digit (0..9)
• N = Exact 1 digit but between 2 en 9
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

• Z = one or more digits

till “end of dial”
• Timeout or dial complete from
partner
• dash (-)
• Separation between fields
‰ Max 18 fields (E1ÎE18)
• Separated by - or C
Longest match !!! • E1 is the “access code”

• field E1.

‰ In order to access all available functions, a field separator, “-“ or “C”,

HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

must be placed between the route access code and the number you wish
to dial.

‰ The dial plan for internal call numbers in closed numbering should always
be configured without access codes.
• Example: -2xxx

 LCR – Dial Plan – COSGR
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

‰ Each station belongs to a COS

Group (allow/deny lists)
• The dialed digits are checked
In this example you can dial an outside line against these settings
without toll restriction from COS group
‰ Can be disabled: COS =NO
when using the break-out code 6
(if the station is not “internal” or outward- • Exception:
“Internal” & “Outward
restricted”) restricted”
always apply
for CO trunks!!!

 LCR – Dial Plan - blocking

‰ To block certain outgoing external calls,

enter a dash (-) in the “Route table” field of the dial plan.
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

Example: no route available for 0900 numbers

 Emergency numbers
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

‰ Up to 5 emergency destinations
• Must be marked as “Emergency = Yes” in the dial plan
‰ If all trunk lines are busy, a trunk line is released
‰ Access control is not changed (COS)
• Pure internal stations cannot access
‰ Restrictions
• ISDN trunk lines only (no analog, no tie lines,…)
• If a DSP is required, no DSP release
• See further restrictions in the notes

 LCR - Schedule
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

‰ Only one table ‰ For each Time Zone you can specify a
‰ Each day, Up to 8 time Zones time slot
• Zone 1 starts always at 00H00 • Between A to H
• Zone 1 ends at time limit 1 • Used to know if you may seize a given
• 07:59 means Until 7 Hours 59 route element
minutes, the 59th minute included
‰ The example above could be used to
• Zone 2 starts at the end of zone 1
define business hours

 Remarks

‰ First: internal ‰ Forwarding within the route table

• The system checks first internal for depends on the Carrier procedure
stations, groups configured in the route
‰ Than: LCR dial plan • When a call is not completed, protocols
• longest match specify “Cause = …”
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

• Reaction on these causes may vary

‰ An LCR Route may count several depending on the used procedure
alternatives (route elements
‰ Examples
• Search is topÎdown
• Main Carrier
• Take next line if:
• When you get “Busy” because the
• The user has a to low LCR-COS to
remote user is busy, no forwarding
use the route element
• Single Stage
• The schedule for the route element
does not match • If the alternative operator is
overloaded, forwarding possible
• No B-channel available
(all channels busy, or defective
connection)

21
 Remarks

‰ GSM with GSM Gateway

• Do not forget a breakout via Main provider
• Defective GSM Gateway or all channels busy
• May be restricted to stations with enough rights
• Do not forget BASE
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

• 048..
• Else every call to BASE will run over fixed lines
‰ When blocking some destinations in Belgium
• Do not forget to block 0032<dest> also
• Somebody can bypass the deny list when doing this.
• Example: You want to block GSM lines
– Block 047, 049, 048 but also 003247, 003249, 003248
‰ Pay attention to Line codes (7801, 7802, …)
• They bypass the LCR
• Somebody can dial outside directly
• To avoid this, delete the line codes, or block 78xx

22
 Remarks

‰ LCR is not possible when simplified dialing is active

• See system flag “Simplified dialing”

‰ Trunks cannot be reserved when LCR is active.

• See system flag parameter “automatic trunk reservation”
HiPath3000 V5.0 - LCR

‰ In networking with open numbering

route optimization cannot be activated.

‰ In the case of outgoing calls on the ISDN network, the dialed number continues to
be displayed until the destination number information on the other party is
received.

‰ After an account code is entered, it applies to the entire connection setup.
