2.2.7 Least Call Routing
Description
LCR is a System programmable feature that automatically selects the least expensive available route when an
outgoing CO call is made. This programming eliminates the necessity for the User to dial the access code of the
least expensive carrier. There are three ways to activate LCR:
Internal LCR –
If dialed digits are matched with an internal LCR code, the System will secure a
CO Line from the programmed CO Group and send the modified digits according to LCR
programming.
Loop LCR –
When dialing the first accessible CO Group Code (9 or 0), or pressing the [LOOP]
button, if the digits match with a COL LCR code, the System will secure a CO Line from the
programmed CO Group and send the modified digits according to LCR programming.
Direct CO LCR –
After dialing a CO Line or CO Group code (9 or 0 depending on the nation
you are calling from), or pressing a CO Line or CO Group button, LCR can be activated. If the
dialed digits are matched with a COL LCR code, the System will secure a CO Line from the
programmed CO Group and send the modified digits according to LCR programming.
When a User selects a CO Line and dials a destination number, the System checks the LCR programming and
sends the all according to the least cost route according to the Admin program (Figure 2.2.7).

FIGURE 2.2.7 LCR ROUTING
Assuming the LCR code is 9, the Network A (001) is least cost during the daytime, and Network B (002) is least
cost during the night. The caller dials the same number and the System automatically routes it through the least
cost network.
Operation
To activate internal LCR, perform the following Steps:
1.
Lift the handset.
2.
Dial the internal LCR code, or press the [MON] button (on-hook dialing can also activate
LCR).
3.
It is an internal LCR code if the code is programmed with INTERNAL or BOTH in the Leading
Digit Table.
