Area code tables
Dialed numbers are compared with the steps in the global area code table to find a match. Dialed
numbers are first compared with area codes, then local exchange codes. If there is a match in
the table for either code, the call is processed as instructed in the table (blocked or routed to an
outbound routing table).
If there is no match in the global area code table, the dialed number is compared to the area code
table assigned to the call source. If there is a match in this table, the call is processed (blocked
or routed to an outbound routing table). Specific area codes tables should contain a rule that
handles unmatched calls; blocking or routing them.
In our example, the area code, 408, is compared to the global area code table. Since neither the
area code (408) nor the local exchange code (555) are in this table, the number is compared to
the caller’s specific access profile area code table, where the area code is matched and the
accompanying instructions indicate that the call should use My Local Route.
