Introduction Chapter 1

SECTION 1 OVERVIEW

The Least Cost Routing (LCR) program is a Windows application that allows the userto easily program and configure the LCR feature of the Electra Elite IPK and ElectraElite 48/192 systems from most any personal computer.

SECTION 2 LCR OVERVIEW

Least Cost Routing (LCR) is used by the system to select the most economical routewhen originating outside calls.

LCR requires the installation of an MIFM-U10 ETU with KMM(1.0)U unit and apersonal computer for programming Least Cost Routing Tables. Refer to Section 2.1Features Added with Software Versions

LCR can select lines for Foreign Exchange (FX), Specialized Common Carrier (SCC),outward Wide Area Telecommunications Service (WATS), Direct Distance Dial (DDD),and Tie lines (TIE).

LCR can be programmed (using various tables) to direct calls through the leastexpensive route based on the number dialed, the time of day, and the day of theweek.

LCR cannot access Common Control Switching Arrangement (CCSA) lines orincoming only lines, such as Direct Inward Dial (DID) or inward WATS lines. LCR canbe used also to route operator, credit card, or international calls. Manually selecting atrunk bypasses LCR.

2.1.3 Software Matrix

� If a newer version of LCR PC Software is used on an older versionof MIFM software, the newly added features will not operate.

� If an older version of LCR PC Software is used on a newer versionof MIFM software, the newly added feature will not operate.

� In order to make the features operate correctly, the correct versionof LCR software must be used on the correct version of MIFMsoftware. If incorrect versions are used, some screens may begrayed out and rendered useless.

2.2 MIFM-U10 ETU

2.2.1 General

The MIFM-U10 provides additional memory and processing power forPC Programming, SMDR, LCR, and Caller ID Scroll function. PCProgramming and SMDR are standard with this ETU. For LCR andCaller ID Scroll function the KMM(1.0)U Unit must be installed on theMIFM-U10 ETU.

When the MIFM-U10 ETU is installed in an IF slot (as opposed to theISA slot), the MIF-Modem unit can be mounted on the MIFM-U10 ETU.This method is desirable because the MIF-Modem Unit does not requireexternal cabling analog ports.

The MIFM-U10 ETU can be installed in the ISA slot or the first or secondIF slot in the basic B64-U20 KSU.

2.3 Programming System for LCR

2.3.1 CPUI( )-U( ) ETU (Electra Elite IPK)

Before programming system data, connect the battery on either the CPUETU or MBD-U10 Unit to CN4 to allow memory retention for powerfailure. Failure to connect the backup battery circuit results in systemdata returning to default values and the loss of system programmingsuch as; Speed Dial, Callback Request, Message Waiting,Clock/Calendar, and Station name assignments if a power failure orbrownout occurs. Refer to Figure 1-1 CPUI( )-U( ) ETU.

When the system is initialized, or battery backup fails for any reason, theClock/Calendar must be set/reset.

When the Electra Elite IPK system is placed in storage, disconnect thebattery to keep it from constantly discharging. The fully charged batteryretains memory contents for approximately 21 days.

2.3.2 Programming System Memory Blocks

LCR Class Selection (Memory Block: 4-40)

This Memory Block specifies the LCR class for each station. Thefollowing defines Class/Area Code Table configuration:

Class 0: No LCR

Class 1: Area Code Table 1




LCR Bypass

LCR Bypass is assigned by Class of Service (Memory Block: 1-8-08).Should a station user find it necessary to bypass LCR, the user candirectly access a CO line via a CO line key to bypass LCR.

LCR Recall

LCR Recall is assigned by Class of Service (Memory Block: 1-8-08).LCR Recall is used should a station user find it necessary to generate aFlash to the outside network.

2.4 Numbering Plan Support

Least Cost Routing supports the numbering plan using the following criteria.

� LCR supports the new NANP (Area Code Change N1/0X-NXX). (N = 0~9;X = 2~9)

2.5 System/Station Speed Dial Considerations

System/Station Speed Dial sometimes requires pause(s) between telephonenumbers. These pauses may cause the MIFM-U10 ETU to seize a Least CostRoute because the pauses may be considered digits dialed. Pauses should notbe stored in Speed Dial in systems with the LCR feature.

Pauses should be programmed as part of extra codes in the Extra Code AddTable.

PC to KSU Communication Methods Chapter 3

There are several ways that a PC can communicate with the Electra Elite 48/192 or the Elite IPK systems.

� Direct Connect (Serial Cable)

� Remote Connection (Built on Modem on the MIFM)

� Remote Connection (External Modem)

� LAN/WAN Connection

� Note: A modem in the PC or an external modem used must be MNP Class 5.

SECTION 1 DIRECT CONNECT

For Direct Connection, a Male straight cable is required. The Electra Elite 48/192 KSU has a Female 25-pin connector on the side of the KSU while the Electra Elite IPK KSU has a Female 9-pin connector on the side of the KSU. Most personal computers have a Male 9-pin connector for COM ports.

Figure 3-1 Direct Connection Example

3-2 PC to KSU Communication Methods

___________________________________________________________________________________


SECTION 2 REMOTE CONNECTION (BUILT-IN MODEM UNIT)

The MIFM Modem Unit must be installed on the MIFM card for proper operation. The MIFM must be installed in Slot 1 or Slot 2 of the basic cabinet in the Elite 192 or the Elite IPK, and in Slot 2 of the Elite 48. Programming for the MIFM Modem Unit, via handset programming, uses Memory Block 1-8-38.

The modem must be assigned a valid extension number of the system’s numbering plan. For example, if station numbers are 500’s the modem’s number must also be in the 500’s range. There are several ways that the built-in modem unit can be contacted: via DID to the modem extension, a trunk can be DIT’ed to the modem extension, or a station or attendant can blind transfer the call to the modem extension.

Weekly Table

There are 32 Weekly Tables (01~32). Each table contains data for each day of theweek. These tables designate which Daily Table is referenced.

Daily Table

There are 32 Daily Tables (01~32). Each table contains data for every hour in a day.These tables designate which Route Advance Table is referenced.

Figure 5-5 LCR Tables Menu


LCR Manual 5-9

___________________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________

Route Advance Table

There are 64 Route Advance Tables (01~64). Each table can contain eight entries(1~8) that correspond to the Route Tables that are accessed [in priority order (1~8)].The LCR subsystem attempts to seize routes based on this order, starting with thefirst. If this route is unavailable, the second route is accessed. If no route is available,or if a lower priority route is not specified, the user is denied access to the outsidetrunks. The same Route Table can be assigned to different priority levels in the RouteAdvance Table.

Route Table

There are 256 Route Tables (001~256). The specified Route Table determines whichTrunk Group is selected and the digits to be dialed to complete a call routed usingLCR.

Office Code Table

There are 64 Office Code Tables (01~64). Each Office Code Table contains all thepossible Office Codes and a box that can be checked for each Office Code. Themeaning of the setting of each flag bit depends on whether the Office Code Table isreferenced by the Prefix Add/Check or Service Area Check parameters of a specifiedRoute Table.

Extra Code Table

There are 16 Extra Code Tables (01~16). Each Extra Code Table can contain amaximum of 32 digits.

Home NPA Table

There is one Home NPA Table. This table is used to enter the Area Code where thesystem resides. This assignment is very important and MUST be made when localcalls (calls dialed without an Area Code) are to be routed through LCR.

Local Area Code Table

A maximum of 16 local area codes can be assigned in this table. If a 1+ area codenumber is dialed or if only the area code is dialed, the area codes entered in this tableare routed through the LCR Area Code Table.

Pre Digit Table

This table defines any central office feature codes (such as Caller ID displaysuppression #64) that are dialed by a user. When these codes along with thetelephone number are dialed by the user, LCR recognizes the numbers as pre-digitcodes based on the entry in the Pre Digit Table. While LCR is determining callrouting, these codes are stored. Before LCR redials the number, stored feature codesare inserted in front of the telephone number.


___________________________________________________________________________________


Holiday Table

On selected days of the year, LCR can route all calls based on a holiday schedule.The holiday table applies to all area codes on the day in question. LCR routes arethen assigned based on time of day.

International / Operator Table

This table allows LCR to route calls to international or local operators via differentTrunk Group or Route Advance Block priorities. This table applies to all internationaloperator calls that are not set to bypass for the matching LCR class.

OCC Table

This table allows LCR to route calls dialed with OCC codes via different Trunk Groupor Route Advance Block priorities. This table applies to all calls that are dialed with anOCC Code LCR class. Each table has the ability to route 16 different OCC codes.

Operator Call Time out Table

This table sets a timer (in seconds) that determines how much time the caller has todial valid operator call access codes before the call times-out and starts processing.

Extra Add International / Operator Table

This table allows the same 16 Extra Code Tables (01~16) that is shared with thenormal LCR. Each Extra Code Table can contain a maximum of 32 digits. The ExtraCode Table adds extra digits that are inserted before the number dialed by the user.This option can also be used to access a PBX line where it is necessary to dial a PBXAccess Code or tandem access to a remote system line through a TIE line.

Extra Add OCC Table

This table allows the same 16 Extra Code Tables (01~16) that is shared with thenormal LCR. Each Extra Code Table can contain a maximum of 32 digits.

Area Code Deletion – LCR is area code based. Therefore, an areacode is required to properly route calls. This selection identifies whetheror not the area code, dialed by the caller, is dialed out on a selectedtrunk. After a Route Table and a Trunk Group are selected (dependingon the trunk service provided) the area code may or may not be requiredto complete the call. Valid entries for this option include:

� Vacant – Indicates that no data is assigned. This is the defaultsetting.

� Do Not Delete – This selection should be assigned if the areacode is required as part of the dialed number.

� Delete – This selection should be assigned if the area code mustbe deleted to complete the call on the selected Trunk Group.

� LCR always inserts the Home NPA (local area code) forrouting only when local calls are routed using LCR. If theHome NPA is required for dialing, the Home NPA must beadded via the Extra Code Add Table.

Extra Code Add – In some applications, it may be necessary to add anExtra Code in front of the number to be dialed. Three selections areavailable for this option:

� Add Table – When this is selected, another field is displayedallowing the user to enter the Extra Code Table number. ValidExtra Code Table numbers are 1~16. This number is added to thebeginning of the dialed number.

� Do Not Add – Select this option when no extra codes are to beused when the number is dialed.
