The digits dialed by the subscriber can be manipulated as a function
of the route selected (LCR dial rules).
The search for an idle circuit only takes place once during the call
setup. However, a circuit is not seized until after a complete check
of the dial plan.
An additional alternative route can also be added to a route in LCR.
For the primary path, the route with the shortest/least expensive
connection should be established (direct connection).
Restriction: LCR is only operable when the end partners of
the standard route are analog/digital stations or analog/digital CO trunk
circuits. Functional terminals and analog interface circuits, special
equipment (VMX, VMS, paging, etc.) and COs (as A or C stations in consultation)
are not supported.
