NEC IPS Basic LCR

Programming syntax = > = de (data end), => = change to. EX: 050>04>15: =>12 EXE.
For this example we will be using PRI trunks in trunk route 10 as the first choice and POTS
trunks in trunk route 20 as the second choice. We will be dialing 7 digits for local calls and 11
digits for long distance calls. The home area code is 214. There are 3 LCR tables available (5, 6
& 7) with a special table used for CCIS networking. We always use table 5 for the main LCR.
Programming Procedure
8AA000> 0> 4005 EXE = assigns LCR group number 0 to LCR development pattern table 5.
8A4005> 2> 0000 EXE = any local number dialed beginning with 2 will use route pattern table
number 0000.
8A4005> 3 ~ 8> 0000 EXE = add remaining local office codes.
8A4005> 90, 92 ~ 99> 0000 EXE = break out 911 for emergency calling.
8A4005> 910, 912 ~ 919> 0000 EXE = break out 911 for emergency calling.
8A4005> 911> 0011 EXE = this places 911 in a table by itself for emergency calling. All other
local dialed numbers use the same table number 0000.
8A4005> 12 ~ 17, 19> 0001 EXE = this places long distance numbers in a different table than
the local numbers. This is to set up for possible future dialing restrictions.
8A4005> 1800, 1855, 1866, 1 877, 1888> 0008 EXE = this places toll free numbers in a
different table for possible future dialing restrictions.
8A4005> 1801~1809, 181~184, 1850~1854, 1856~1859, 1860~1865, 1867~1869, 1870~1876,
1878~1879, 1880~1887, 1889, 189> 0001 EXE.
8A4005> 011> 0012> EXE = international numbers.
8A4005> 11> 0010 EXE = See special case for 911 calls. 9 must be added in for proper routing.
8A0000> 1> 00010 EXE = references table 000 and uses trunks from trunk route 10.
8A0000> 2> 00220 EXE = references table 002 and uses trunks from trunk route 20 if all trunks
in route 10 are busy.
8A0001> 1> 00110 EXE = references table 001 and uses trunks from trunk route 10.
8A0001> 2> 00320 EXE = references table 003 and uses trunks from trunk route 20 if all trunks
from route 10 are busy.

8A0011> 1> 01120 EXE = references table 011 and uses POTS trunks from route 20 for 911
calls.
8A0012> 1> 01210 EXE = references table 012 and uses trunks from trunk route 10.
8A0012> 2> 01420 EXE = references table 014 and uses trunks from trunk route 20 if all trunks
from route 10 are busy.
Special Case for 911
8A4005> 11> 0010 EXE
8A0010> 1> 02010 EXE = references table 020 and uses trunks from trunk route 10.
8A0010> 2> 02020 EXE = references table 020 and uses trunks from trunk route 20 if all trunks
in route 10 are busy.
8A5020> 100> 9000 EXE = add additional digits in front of the number dialed. The digits
specified are found in table 9000, command 8A9000.
8A9000> 0> 9 EXE = add 9 in front of the number dialed.
855> 2 ~ 8> 24=> 07 EXE = allow maximum digits of 7 on local numbers dialed to speed up
dialing.
855> 90, 92 ~ 99, 910, 912 ~ 919> 24=> 07 EXE = fill in the remaining numbers.
855> 12 ~ 19> 24=> 11 EXE = allow maximum digits of 11 on long distance numbers dialed.
855> 911> 24=> 03 EXE = allow 3 digits dialed for 911 calls. This gets the call out faster.
855> 11> 24=> 03 EXE = to speed up dialing.
855>0 1> 24=> 18 EXE = allows 18 digits for international numbers. If the number of digits is
less, a short delay in dialing will be experienced. The system is waiting to see if more digits up to
the maximum of 18 will be dialed.
By now you may have noticed that previous table numbers actually reference the next command
to be used.
EX: 8AA000> 0> 4005 EXE
8A4005> 2> 0000 EXE
8A0000> 1> 00010 EXE
8A5000> 100> 9000 EXE

The tables chosen do not have to be in numerical order. You can use any table number allowed
in the range provided as long as you reference it properly moving to the next command. Each
command adds information required to process the number dialed and get it out of the system to
Telco facilities. There will be cases when we need to add digits, strip digits or restrict digits. A
good practice is to put the database on paper before programming it into the system.
Last Step
Assign a spare access code to test the LCR program.
EX: 200> *2> A126 EXE. This sets up *2 as the LCR access code for LCR table 4005. Dial *2
plus your test numbers to test the program. Once you are satisfied that it is working properly, go
back to CMD 200.
EX: 200> 9> 100=> A126 EXE. This changes dial 9 from a direct route access code to the LCR
access code. The users will probably not notice the difference. If there are issues with your
program simply change 9 back to a route access code and use your test code to trouble shoot the
program.
Delete 1 From Number Dialed
Some carriers may require 10 digits dialed; however the users are trained to dial 11 digits. Using
the LCR tables we can delete the lead digit 1 from the number dialed.
8A4005> 12> 0001 EXE
8A0001> 1> 00110 EXE
8A5001> 151> 1=> 0 EXE = delete area code dialed.
8A5001> 153> 00=> 01 EXE = delete only one digit from the area code dialed.
EX: the user dials 12145551212. The system sends 2145551212 to the CO.

Add Digits to Number Dialed

Some carriers may require area code added in for local calls. The user still dials 7 digits.
8A4005> 2> 0000 EXE
8A0000> 1> 00010 EXE
8A5000> 100> 9001 EXE

8A9001> 0> 1214 EXE = this adds 1214 to all local dialed numbers. The user dials 222-1212.
The system sends out 12142221212 to the CO.
Additional Data For PRIs
Some carries require additional program data to complete calls on their service. Within the
8A5XXX tables there are options provided to match the settings to the Telco requirements for
PRIs.
EX: 8A4005> 12> 0001 EXE
8A0001> 1> 00110 EXE = route 10 = PRI trunks.
8A5001> 157> 00 EXE + 8A5001> 158> 00 EXE = CPN identifier plan of UNKNOWN, or
8A5001> 157> 01 EXE + 8A5001> 01 EXE = INTERNATIONAL, or
8A5001> 157> 02 EXE + 8A5001> 158> 01 EXE = NATIONAL, or
8A5001> 157> 04 EXE + 8A5001> 158> 01 EXE = LOCAL
8A5001> 163> 01 EXE = SDN, or
8A5001> 163> 03 EXE = MEGACOM
The most common settings are 157>02, and 158>01, however
many times this is a trial and error assignment. You may also need a different setting for long
distance vs. local vs. 1800 vs. international numbers. Try each combination of settings and dial
all of your test numbers for each setting to determine which one works for the type of dialed
number.
