A standard numbering and dialing plan requires that individual line and small buisness customers(custom) calling use prefixed access code dialing for feature access. PACTis offered on a per office basis. The PACT is NOT used for the interpretation of centrex dialing customers. When a call is originated by the customer, a call register is used to store the data about the call. The customer dials a prefix and a 2 digit access code (table a). The PACT then looks at the digits to determine what action should take place. Reorder or special service error messages will be heard if you enter an unassigned code. If the code is accepted, the that particular action will be performed. The PACT consists of the PACT head table and the prefixed access code translator. The PACT feature allows the dialing of a special code for a prefix. These are the '*' and '#'. If you have rotary, then '11' and '12' are used respectively. To use PACT, the prefix must be followed by a 2-digit code. This combination is then defined in terms of type and subtype (table b). TABLE A _____________________________________________________________ Access Code | Description | ----------------|-------------------------------------------| *2(x) - *3(x) | This allows 3 digit codes to be assigned. | | (In the future, 3 digits codes may be used| | | *4x-*5x-*7x | LASS/Message Desk Services | | | *72 | Call Forwarding activation | *73 | Call Forwarding deactivation | *74 | 1-digit Speed Dialing | *75 | 2-digit Speed Dialing | | | #56 | Circuit Switch Digital Capability | ________________|___________________________________________| The subtranslator is always built 100 words long. A word is a binary code which when sent as a whole, act as a command. One word is equal to a 2-digit access code. This subtranslator contains the PTW (Primary Translation Word). The PTW contains the feature type subtype and feature subtype index to determine the function of the dialed code. The feature subtype allows four subtype tables to exist for feature type 31 (LASS). Index 0 is for LASS. Index 1 is used for LASS on a pay per usage basis. Index 2 and 3 are currently not used. If you have access to a recent change system, you can create PACTS by using the following (This is for your CO only). 1. Use the SUBTRAN message to seize program {tore for the PACT head table and initialize it at 0. Also seize program store for the subtranslator and initialize it at 0 also. 2. Use the PSWD message to build the PACT subtranslator per table a using table b. Link the PACT subtranslator, head table, and master head table.
