For example: *67 and 420 are two entries in an Allowed List. If someone at an
Outward Restricted extension dials
*67 420-1234, the call succeeds. If the person
at the same Outward Restricted extension dial
*67 431-1234, the call fails (431 is
not in the Allowed List). If the person at the same extension dials 420-1234, the
call succeeds. This type of processing also applies to Disallowed Lists.

****SECURITY ALERT****
Do not place remote ARS access codes in the non-local dial plan by specifying,
for example, a non-local extension range such as 9000–9050 when the remote
ARS access code is 9. Doing so allows DID callers to make outside calls through
the remote switch and may allow transferring of outside callers to outside dial tone
on a remote switch, possibly resulting in toll fraud.
Magix R1.5 Automatic Route Selection
Enhancements
Because of the changes in facilities and dial plans across the USA and Canada,
Release 1.5 of the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System offers new enhancements
to the Automatic Route Selection feature:
 10- and 11-digit dialing
 24 programmable tables
 Wild card characters in 6-digit tables
 Enhanced 911 service
 10- and 11-Digit Dialing
Some central offices allow users to dial a 10-digit telephone number (area code
and telephone number without the leading “1”) to reach a telephone number that
requires an area code. In Release 1.5 of MERLIN MAGIX, the MERLIN MAGIX
system can route either a 10-digit (without the leading “1”) or an 11-digit (with the
leading “1”) dialed call based on both the area code and the exchange code. This
has been accomplished by modifying ARS to include a search of 6-Digit tables
whether or not the user dials a leading “1.” The ARS Absorb Digit parameter (the
number of user-dialed digits that ARS absorbs, that is, does not dial out) for each
route has been enhanced to accommodate the new 10-digit dialing.
Skip this section if 10-digit dialing is not allowed in your area.
