Appendix A: Dialing
Translation
Overview
Dialing translation is a process by which the number of an incoming call from a
public network is translated through a translation table into a number that can be
recognized and dialed on the local network, using the Reply feature.
For Dialing Translation to occur, the System Coordinator needs to create a Dialing
Translation Table that recognizes the digits of an external number and translates
them into a number that can be dialed by the Norstar system. The Norstar system
also consults the restrictions and schedules tables prior to dialing the number.
The Dialing Translation Tables are necessary only for the Reply feature. Norstar
Voice Mail does not require the tables in order to function normally.
How the Dialing
Translation Table works
A phone number is derived from information attached to an incoming Caller ID
message. The number is then searched for by Norstar Voice Mail in the Dialing
Translation Table. If the leading digit or digits of the phone number match a Dialing
Translation Table Input value (the number Norstar Voice Mail searches for in the
Dialing Translation Table), then the Output value will be substituted for the Input
value. This change results in a phone number that can be dialed on the local
network. The changing of the number usually consists of the dropping of an area
code or the insertion of an access code, based on the dialing rules of the local
network. For example, if a local number is prefixed with the long distance code “1”,
it is removed by the Dialing Translation Table.
The Dialing Translation process is immediate so calls will not take any longer to
dial. Some phone numbers do not need to be changed before dialing. Norstar Voice
Mail will function without a Dialing Translation Table except that the Reply feature
will not be able to be used.
Phone number Translation
The Dialing Translation Table needs to define each possible case where a change is
needed to allow the number to be dialed on the local network.
The Dialing Translation Table changes Network DNs into numbers that can be
dialed on the local network. The Network DN form of a phone number is the usual
form in which the number appears. For example, the phone number on a business
card may read 403-555-5050 which, in its Network DN form, must be translated
into a number that can be dialed on the local telephone network. The Dialing
Translation Table follows the rules required to make the call.
