Least Cost Routing

The Least Cost Routing (LCR) feature enables MX-ONE to select the most economical route for an outgoing public call. The system checks the dialed number to see if the private network can be used, and if that is the case, the call is routed to a PBX within the private network as close to the public destination as possible.

The following four situations can occur:
  1. The dialed destination shall be routed directly to the public network.
  2. The dialed destination is an extension within the own system (i.e. off-net to on-net routing).
  3. The dialed destination is in the private network and can be reached completely through the private network (off-net to on-net routing).
  4. The dialed destination can be reached partly through the private network (tail- or best-end hop-off).

The user first has to dial an LCR access code to activate the LCR. The system is then ready to analyze the dialed number.
