I'm an installer of small business systems in Ohio. I have a customer that has an ongoing problem with LD calling. They are PIC'D to Century Link (formerly Qwest) upon completion of dialing 11 digits I am supposed to get a tone and then dial an accounting code. What happens is immediately upon dialing I get an audible ring, continues until it times out to a reorder. I cannot get anyone to accept responsibility for following up on this problem. I must also add it deos not happen on all calls, its streaky, last week I had about 30% failures. What I am looking for are lists of termination codes for the following switches, MITEL GX5000, att 5ESS, STROMBERG CARLSON DCO. I simply want to put in a trouble report and ask a tech to look for a specific code. I have no idea wether or not this a reasonable request or not. I am not a switch man so I apologize for any inproper terminology.

Is the account code controlled by CenturyLink or your PBX?

No PBX single line business. I believe the Acc code is controlled by century link. Here is what we got.

Local carrier Bascom Tel. Co. Mitel GX5000

Hands all toll calls to Ayersville Phone Co.
5ess Ayersville routes calls to proper LD carrier.

Have tried to open ticks with Bascom, Century Link "not our problem" I'm sure you know the drill.

Then do as Anthony suggest, contact yourLD carrier. Someone has to know if they require account codes and since you said after the 11 digits you're suppose to get a tone than that would point to your LD carrier.

I'm sending you a PM.

Having some specific numbers called could be helpful in determining the trunk group out of the 5ESS. Is there a specific time period that the calls seem to go to reorder? This could be helpful if the failing calls were route advancing to another trunk group. I'd start with your LD carrier & let them work with the local company. Thye should be able to simulate any calls that are being made.

Tried that, qwest, now century link said call come and leave OK. Have sent lists of failures and times, no help.Justbill the calls fail immediately after the 11th digit, coes to a ring tone then fast busy. Supposed to get a stutter tone then I enter code. Not getting the stutter.

Are you SURE it's not the Mitel GX5000? How did you determine that? Most Mitel systems can be programmed to 'inspect' the number dialed and allow or deny completion of the call. They can inspect a number dialed down to the last digit and allow calls with a specific digit thru and deny the rest. They do it so quickly that the process is transparent to the user. And the Mitel can generate dial tone after you dial 9 or whatever your access code is and re-order, as well. And for other readers, most other brands have the same capabilities.

If I read the OP correctly, there isn't a PBX on-site, the GX5000 is CO equipment.

Correct, the mitel is the co switch. Tech at switch says his codes show it being handed off to a switch they contract with to handle thier ld calls. That is the stromberg switch. All I really want is for someone to accept responsibilty for following up on a trouble rept. What ever happened to service? As you can tell I'm ex Bell/At&t.
