8 Geography Sets

The Geography tab of the ACS Configuration screen is used to add, edit and remove geography sets and their respective entries.

Note: It is never possible to delete a geography set or entry that is currently in use by a compiled control plan. Deleting a geography set will delete all entries in that set. Editing a geography set or entry will cause all compiled control plans that use that geography set to be recompiled.

Geography Set Definition

A geography set is a group of geography entries. A geography set may belong to a specific customer, or may be public — usable by any customer. Here are some example geography sets:

  • North/South Island (Public)

  • Major City Breakdown (Public)

  • Pizza delivery company nearest call center to each major exchange (service provider specific).

Geography Entry Definition

A geography entry is a calling area defined by a prefix in the dialed number. The prefix is a code for the given location and can be used in whatever way ACS requires. For example, in the geographic routing feature node it is matched to the calling party number.
