Hey guys,
We have a new facility that is making use of our Mitel PBX 3000 infrastructure. Our PBX is hosted at our main office and is able to connect to the new facility via networking routing magic as if it was local. This new facility has both business and public phones. We would like the public phones to be able to “dial out” without having to add the prefix 9. How could we accomplish this?
Alternatively, is it possible that the prefix 9 to dial out isn’t required for all of the phones connected on our PBX?
Thanks!

Yes this can be done.
The form ‘ARS digits dialled’ is mapped to ARS routes and controls exactly what digits need to be dialled and where the calls needs to route. So the form will have something like 90x or 0x depending on country dial plans (here in the UK everything local / national / international is 0x).
Each route will have a COR (Class Of Restriction) which will control the extensions that are allowed to dial this route (business phones vs public phones).
As the 2 systems are clustered the form can either be synchronised (so both systems can dial out with or without a 9) or different (limiting this feature to just the new facility).
